*...Christmas Sparkle...*

So it's getting to that time of year again where we are all running about doing last minute shopping but lets not forget the nights out, festive spirit and the frustration to find that perfect outfit. It's the one time of year you can really go crazy with the SPARKLE!! Sequins and Glitter are the key trend during the Christmas period and its the perfect party season. If you cant afford a whole new outfit then why not just team up your favourite little black dress with a new pair of sequin shoe boots or heels and let your feet do the talking!!!......Sequin and glitter accessories will create a statement on their own as they are very eye catching and they also stand out from the crowd. Here are a few pieces that I personally like from various websites.......................................

Versace has arrived at H&M!

As I'm sure all you fashionist's would have heard by now that Versace has launched a collection in H&M. Unfortunately the two Dundee stores are not stocking this range and neithier is Aberdeen:(. I think the nearest store is Edinburgh. The collection is great and I think its good that a high street retailer have invested in this range as many of you would agree and myself(a poor student) we cant afford to buy expensive designer garments all the time. I think it is great advertising for H&M as a company as they will expanding their customer profile and I think alot of us will percieve them as a much improved retailer after this launch. Have a nosey online if you havent already but here are a few of my favourite pieces from the collection........................

Halloween!!:D

Okay! So I know this is a bit late but I only started working on my blog a few days ago so here is what my friend and I dressed up as at halloween. Halloween is a great opportunity to dress up and be creative as much as you can. We went as Space Cadets and I made the necklaces for us to wear. I also made the knee pads I'm wearing out of the boot covers that came with my outfit. I didn't like the boot covers as they make your feet look massive but most importantly I couldnt get them over my boots!! Ooppss!! so out came the sewing box and I made them into knee pads instead.

Fashion Shoot

So for my fashion shoot I have decided to do a dance theme. My models will be modeling fashion but be in dance poses. I am aiming for the pictures to look very feminine and old fashioned. I have chosen three locations back in Dundee which at brought ferry castle, the glass pavilion in Baxter's Park and also the city square in the town centre. I am borrowing clothes from my work(internacionale) and also from my own wardrobe:).

Fashion and Me

Three words to describe your overall sense of style?

Girlie, Pretty and Trendy

Who is your favourite high street retailer?

River Island

What is your favourite category of clothing to wear?

Dresses

What was the last article of clothing or accessory you purchased?

 A chocolate brown winter duffle coat. However thinking about returning it as I am not sure I like it.

What is your Favorite shopping destination?

 London but I would love to visit New York. 

What are your Three favourite materials?

 At the moment they are fur, lace and denim.

How would you describe your winter look?

 Knitwear dresses with tights and boots. Jumpers and jeans with accessories. I’m also loving shoe boot wedges at the moment , I can’t stop buying them, they are so comfy. I also don’t like dressing very casual so I think the wedges can sometimes take the casual look away from my winter wardrobe which is perfect as I think winter fashion is always seen as more casual than smart.

If someone handed you $10,000 where would you blow it?

Go on a massive shopping spree and buy products from expensive designers that I couldn’t normally afford e.g Chanel, D&G, Harrods. I would also still purchase goods from the retailers I normally shop at e.g. River Island, Topshop, H&M and New Look  etc.

What does Fashion mean to you?

Fashion means individuality to me as it is something you can impress your personality and feelings through. Everyone sees fashion in many different ways as it is not just about being on trend with the latest looks, it’s about who you are. It has influenced the world throughout the years and so many people have became fashions icons e.g. Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. They will influence fashion for years to come.

Here are a few pictures from when I was in London(Madame Tuassuads) last year for the weekend..................
