Sworn to fun, loyal to none




Just come accross this top on www.asos.com, I love it so much, right now "Sworn to fun, loyal to none" is a mantra that sums up my life, I'm young and living life for fashion and fun right now, I maybe selfish but I don't need to be loyal to anyone, come payday this tee may make the cut as part of my new summer wardrobe, yes it's a tee and quite simple but Zoe Karssen has come up with some fabulous tees that are really easy, another one I love has the slogan "Who killed Bambi?" written across it - tees are easy to wear with patterned leggings or denim shorts on days when you just wanna be a bit cas or comfy! Tees are a staple part of my wardrobe as they form the basis of an outfit that can be worn day or night!

Peace, love and baggy tees

Glorious English sunshine has been gracing our Country this week - people are panicing as it is only April - have we purchased our summer wardrobes yet? Probably not, well this summer I cannot wait to channel mix and match prints to create the illusion of a playsuit or jumpsuit - I have been waiting for a print I adore to appear in Topshop as so far this year the floral prints on matchy items have not been that great, I don't like navy and I don't want swirls - this week however I spotted this gorgeous tropical print - I snapped up the shorts and fingers crossed the top will still be in stock after payday! I figured the shorts would be more wearable if I can only have one, I mean they will look a treat with a striped tee, the top is a bit too predictable to wear alone...

I am praying I will get the top as together they will look a-maze-ing together...I wanna team them with a bright orange shoe and clutch to get that true summer feeling....I need a serious shop, if anyone has a winning lotto ticket please send it my way until then eBaying old clothes to buy new ones will have to just do!

Peace, love & sunshine

I want to be the girl with the most cake...

If you know me you will know how much I love cupcakes and in particular Fancie. cupcakes, if you are not familiar with Fancie. you are definitely missing out,it is a Sheffield based company and having been to Magnolia Bakery when I visited New York I can honestly say Fancie. cupcakes are better, it's the frosting - it is to die for.

I tried giving up cupcakes for lent until I saw Fancie's Easter menu, Creme Egg cupcakes and Malteaser bunnie cupcakes, last week I caved.

I opted for the Creme Egg one. OH. EM. GEE! It was to die for, not only was the cupcake cakey part a bit like a chocolate brownie and the frosting tasted like the Creme Egg fondant there was a Creme Egg inside it too! Fancie definitely have out done themselves!!!

A week later I am still amazed at just how amazing the Creme Egg cupcake was, so yesterday I went back for a second one, they were all gone, I thought I would go for the Malteaser bunnie, sticking with the Easter theme I thought I couldn't go wrong - I did, the Malteaser one was no where near as good, I was disappointed!!! However I am grateful to have tried and tasted the Creme Egg cupcake, the mother of all cupcakes and from now on what all foods will measure up against. If you are in the Sheffield area and want to eat the most amazing cake you will try I recommend Fancie, and if Easter is over you can always opt for Lemon, Raspberry and Almond or Victoria sponge and you won't be disappointed.




Peace, love and happy cupcake eating

The Outnet 2nd Birthday sale

It's that time again when Theoutnet.com is another year older, for it's second birthday they are having a £2 designer sale, it is ticket only this year and sadly I am not one of the lucky 2000 ticket holders who will be getting a gorgeous Matthew Williamson jumpsuit for £2, or an amazing Halston clutch for £2 or some beautiful Givenchy boots for yes £2. GUTTED!!! Although I was lucky enough to get a Roberto Cavalli belt for £1 in their first birthday sale and other people should be allowed a bargain blah blah blah but I would seriously have loved a ticket and yes it's fastest finger first but I definitely would have been all over it!!

Good luck if you are one of the lucky 2000 ticket holders and I hope you get and cherish an amazing item, just like I would.

Peace, love, Chanel

Red Oscar Envy...



For years, yes that's right years, I have been looking and searching for the perfect red dress....still no luck on the high street.

Once again at the Oscars last night countless celebrities rocked gorgeous red dresses, including Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway and Sandra Bullock.



Now although none of these dresses were oh em gee I want to die fabulous they came to my attention and reminded me once again that I need the perfect red dress, for get LBD for me this year the search is on for a Little Red Dress or LRD if you will.

Until that point I will continue to rock my red topshop boots as a statement red item, and dream of owning a red dress and also a red chanel bag -obviously!

Peace, love and red envy

I'd rather be in Paris




Right now in a City not so far away it's Paris fashion week. O how I long to be there, I'd have loved to have been sat front row or even squashed at the back of the Chanel Couture show today, Karl Lagerfeld has not disappointed his designs are insane, I love love love the spakle and embellished items, once again Chanel well done!!! I can dream about one day wearing Chanel Couture but I am lucky enough to proudly carry a Chanel handbag!

Peace, love, Chanel

Toughening up nude



The shops are full of summer clothes and it is still minus 3! No hope of bare legs and sandels any time soon, however I will be working summer shades such as nudes, these will remain wintery toughened up with leather and anything emblazzoned with studs. I also feel like I have enough leopard print items, when I can easily wear triple leopard I feel that's enough, so I am going to stick with animal print but branch out to snake print, thank you Topshop for your Snake Valley trend, I feel a snake print blouse is on the cards. I am also drawn to fringing this season, now fringing is something I have avoided in previous years but the leather fringes off these shorts are to die for and at the minute I am partial to a fringed top, this summer I think my inner hippy will come out but at the minute I am sticking to the rock star chic style.

Peace, love, chanel
