Who's that girl.......it's Kate

For the past few days most of us have been dying to know who will be fronting Topshop's Christmas campaign, they had us hooked posting clues on twitter and I finally figured it out before they announced it was Kate. The video of the beaut Kate Bosworth’s performance of the iconic ‘Winter Wonderland’ created by Topshop is inspired by the famous piano scene with Michelle Pffeifer in ‘’The Fabulous Baker Boys’’ she has been my thinspiration for a long time but in this video she has possibly become my new girl crush, made more exciting by the fact she replied to my tweet on twitter -she is an absolute babe I love her

You can watch the video here -http://bit.ly/WFefp

Peace, love and winter wonderland wishes

Because sometimes this lady is a vamp

Fringing aside one of my other looks I'm obsessed with right now is gothic vamp -think the craft, every winter I love all black as standard but this time I finding much more gothic inspired things appealing I had to reign myself in from buying a choker the other day that would have been a step too far!

Right now if its black, maxi or jewellery with a cross on I'm all over it I cannot help myself I am becoming vampy and I like it.

All vamp outfits are best worn with Jeffrey Campbell spiked Litas

Peace, love and black lippy

My fringing obsession continues...

I need to effin wind it in, on payday I was shopping in Topshop, yes Topshop I mention it a lot but yes it is my favourite shop I am a Topshop whore and I don't care who knows it for me it can do no wrong especially when it comes to fringing -this is what they do best, along with sequins, basics, jewellery and shoes!

Now as I was shopping, not for anything in particular, just a casual payday browse I came across the most beautiful dress i have seen in a while, my Christmas party dress, my second tassle dress but it was there hanging in the middle of buy it now, my favourite bit in any Topshop -the place where dreams come true -and when I pulled out this fringed number I knew it would be mine, I didn't care it was two sizes too big wearing it oversized will add to the effect of the fringed flapper dancer look I will go for at my Christmas party. It's cooler than the aqua floor length fringed beauty I was going to wear and a lot less red carpet, I can't wait to get my shimmy on!

In other fringed news today was beyond amazing -I nearly died when I saw it hanging on the front forest fixtures of Toppers Meadowhall in my favourite clothing colour -the fringed sleeved kimono! Death! Spring summer 2010 I saw this in cream on a graphic, I lusted after it, I found it, I bought it, I wore it, I washed it, it was ruined -fringed perfection ruined by the touch of water -words could not explain how gutted I was -trawling eBay it still sells for ridiculous overpriced insanities but I no longer need to search for it here it is and black as well I can incision so many outfits it going with and making and I cannot wait to wear it especially with this space dye body which was an insane bargain too.

Fringing is my favourite and I have uploaded a collection of my favourite fringed outfits from over the years -fringing is like Chanel once I own it i don't part with it


Peace, love and fringing for life

Because real is better than fake....

December the 1st is finally here...that means one thing it's nearly Christmas and I cannot contain my excitement of putting the tree up and feeling festive! Now last years tree consisted of mainly jewellery and corsages due to lack of decorations, I've now learnt the trick -buy a smaller tree, real ones are of course by far the best -the incredible Christmas smell -our little beauty came in a pot too for only £15 -thank you Asda! I'm all about the festivities but lets be honest give me clothes any day so smart price decorations are the way to go -a classic red and gold theme and of course candy canes -I think they make the tree * there is only one thing left to do now and that is watch my favourite Christmas movie -Elf because the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
*candy canes may not all last until Christmas Day

Peace, love and Christmas cheer

Velvet.....it's bloody everywhere

You know Christmas is coming when velvet has touched down in high street stores now as per its all over Topshop, there's key pieces in Urban Outfitters too as well as Zara and Rivers.

Now for years I have been anti velvet,
primarily it's the touch, I got a velvet bodycon skirt from Topshop, thought it would be ok with thick tights and a top tucked in but no after two hours I had to take it off and wear something else!

Anyway this year it all changed! How, well my flatmate came home with the most beautiful velvet fringed kimono, toppers obviously and in my favourite colour red, it's too hard not to resist it I am overcoming the fear and fighting for fashion and wearing the velvet kimono because it would be rude not too, it's beyond amazing! Plus I have layered it so its not too close to my skin!

Who knows maybe in a few weeks I may be able to wear a full velvet dress or playsuit....I will just take it one velvet item at a time

Peace, love and velvet

The mullet skirt

How to wear a mullet skirt -dubious, very dubious not sure I like the trend of the long back and short front but then I came across this winter floral number. Now I am loving grey at the moment and reduced to £10 in Urban Outfitters it was hard to ignore, especially when I browsed it at £45. I am wearing it today teamed with my favourite shoes at the minute although I feel it would look amaze with a spiked lita, a crop topshop faithful, obviously borrowed from my flatmate, queen of crops and the faux fur collar off my new Topshop coat and I must say I quite like it.
Quick at £10 this bad boy isn't going to stay around for long!

Peace, love and mullets

Playing dead

Just a few more snaps from Halloween, one of my favourite nights of the year, I was dressed as a dead NYPD cop who had lost both her eyes in a shoot out although my friends said I was dressed as a stripper, interesting

Anyway enjoy
Peace, love and fake blood
