Quote of the week

- Marilyn Monroe by shopaholic_soph on Polyvore.com

I love Marilyn and this quote sums me up to a T. People should love you for who you are, never, never, never change for anyone! If people don't like you it's their loss, especially someone as epic and fabulous as me! Believe in yourself and enjoy your life. Live everyday like it's your last.

Peace, love and xoxo

Feeling blue...

Feeling Blue by shopaholic_soph featuring Chanel bags

For those of you that know me, you will know that it hasn't been the best week for me, however here is a treat of beautiful blue things that I am currently lusting after! Now I went and saw SATC2 and enjoyed it, mainly for the fashion, as it was such a treat to see so many beautiful things especially the Brian Atwood shoes worn by Carrie, it is not the first time I have lusted after blue shoes Carrie wears, I still love the Manolos she married "Big" in during the first Movie, but these embezzeled with gold studs are to die for!!

Now we all know my love for Chanel and an interlocking C and this midnight blue Chanel bag is an absolute treat, I am also thinking I may need to invest in a blue dress, I have decided blue is the new black, especially as you can accessorize it with an excess of gold and it will look fabulous!

SATC Movie Premiere

It is the SATC2 Movie premiere right now, and sadly I am not there, but have just seen the pictures of the cast's outfits and I am once again I have not been disappointed by Sarah Jessica Parker's outfit. For the first movie she wore a green Alexander McQueen dress and Phillip Tracey hat




Once again she has gone for an Alexander McQueen dress and Phillip Tracey hat, both more fabulous than before, but in black with a band on her arm, is this her mark of respect for the tragic loss earlier this year of one of Britain's great designers?



SJP has definetly lived up to expectation and after seeing this I am even more excited for tommorrow as I cannot actually wait for this film!

After what has seemed to be the longest wait ever for Kate Moss collection, I was extremely excited to be going to Topshop today in the hope of some new items, these Stella McCartney inspired shorts are my favourite piece and I would love, love, love a jacket to match...I know there is a Karen Millan one but nothing beats Topshop except the real thing, however, I didn't get the shorts as £60 seemed a bit excessive and after recently buying 3 pairs of shorts I can't justify another pair just yet, which is a shame!
I also love the gorgeous silk cape-like blouse, but this was sadly not in my Topshop, only online and London are luckily enough to receive this beauty, and as the internet is already out of stock in the size I would want, I have no hope, except eBay but no doubt I will get ripped off so will not partake in purchasing this, I'm not even going to get my hands on a return as due to it being a limited edition item, can only be returned to the internet!
Last but not least, the beauty which is the feather cape, this little treasure however is once again only available online and in 214, but if it is still in stock on payday I will have to order it as I love a Kate Moss cape....seriously...I have a gorgeous embellished one from 2008, but I got the best one in Christmas 2007 Collection, a beautiful lace number which I will have in my wardrobe forever...it really is beautiful and is one of my most loved items of clothing I have ever owned.



Although I have not purchased any Kate Moss items, yet got sucked in by a Boutique dress as well as a cute cream blouse, Miss Moss has once again succeeded in a beautiful collection of mostly gorgeous items (I am going to ignore the lace-up front shorts) which will be definite best sellers!

Get ready for the sunshine!

This summer I shall be wearing... by shopaholic_soph featuring TopShop

Items in this set:
Sequin Disc Crop Vest, $90
Sleeveless Denim Gilet, 35 GBP
Floral lace shorts, $125
Paradise Tie Playsuit, $80
Horn Button Shorts, $65

I have officially nearly completed my summer 2010 wardrobe and these are my summer staples. The floral cotton playsuit is nice and bright and last years denim jacket will be perfect with it, set off by my Roberto Cavalli belt and lashings of gold jewellery obviously. My footwear choice is the beautiful nude wedge or the Chanel inspired clogs which I bagged in brown, although the clogs will only be worn on days where I can stand the pain of them. Shorts will be worn with tanned legs or lace leggings underneath and I will wear my nude shorts and blazer as a short suit which will look super cute with the nude top. I will wear the denim shorts casually with a breton striped tee or baggy white top and I have also bought some gorg khaki paperbag shorts from River Island which will be dressed down with Gladiators.

My handbag choice will vary from, either my newest vintage Chanel (as seen above) which was a bargain off eBay, and before anyone says otherwise, completely authenticate (I have had it authenticated on The Purse Forum - one of my favourite websites and compared it to my vintage flap) but I simply adore this bag as it is the perfect size for my daytime essentials and the burgundy colour is beautiful. I love it most of all because it is unusual and I am yet to see someone with the same one. However, I will still be carrying my classic black vintage flap (my most favourite handbag) and my framboise Balenciaga clutch which is perfect for summer.

I've got Scarlett Fever!

All i want right now is a red handbag by shopaholic_soph featuring Balenciaga bags

For a long time now I have been after the perfect red handbag, which I define as one of the two that I have been coverting for over a year, either a red Chanel jumbo with giant gold hardware, which I extremeley hard to find as they are like gold dust! Or a Balenciaga giant city bag.....
Well if only I had £700 for my dreams to come true as look what I stumbled across when I should have been revising...

http://www.koodos.com/product/106162

Yes I couldn't believe it either 35% off Balenciaga and the exact bag I have been dreaming about for £699 instead of £1065, all my effort had gone onto not putting it on the credit card!

Grazia are doing a competition to win tickets to the SATC premiere!!!

Ok so just found out Grazia are running a competition to win tickets to the premiere of the best movie this year!!! I want to be strutting down the red carpet with the rest of the fashion elite so imagine my excitement when all you have to do is upload a photo of you wearing a SATC inspired outfit to their facebook page! Well straight away I have got on board with this and put together this beauty of an outfit which I really hope will win me tickets!!
In this outfit I am wearing a basic black dress from Topshop and lace leggings from Urban Outfitters, the hiker boots are Topshop too, the belt is Roberto Cavalli, which was a bargain price of £1 thanks to the outnet birthday sale. The sequin jacket I love so much and got off ebay for £62 last year after coverting it for so long in Topshop but couldn't justify £180, the corsage was Topshop sale for £1 and actually the first time I have had it on, and the bag is my pride and joy, my first ever vintage chanel!
Hopefully this is enough to get me on the red carpet with SJP

SATC2

I cannot tell you how excited I am as I eargarly await the 28th May 2010.
My tickets are booked, Cineworld at 8.15pm
I need an outfit that Carrie would be proud of and of course copious amounts of Cosmos must also be consumed after the film, I wish I has Manolos at the ready but until that day I will have to make do with Topshop, or if I am lucky Kurt Geiger.
One things for sure though, I will definetly be repping a corsage bigger than my head thanks to the wonderful Jonnie Loves Rosie. No doubt I will also wear so many faux-pearls it could be seen as over-kill but my outfit needs to be both FIERCE and FABULOUS

Lilac nails

Have I taken my obsession too far???

About a year ago I discovered models own nail polish in lilac dream and since that day it has been my colour of choice, I have now just cracked open my third bottle and am starting to wonder whether I should forget about lilac and use my other nail polishs, I mean after all I managed to get the Chanel Particuliere and this is the perfect greige, I have also just purchased one of the new Topshop nail polishes, Rose Royce, this I thought would be a perfect alternative to lilac as it is a pinky purple but something always takes me back to lilac......I guess I will have to accept lilac nails are my favourite and lilac dream will be my signature nail colour
