Weekend Full of Fashion, Friends and Fun!

Its the time of year when we have lots of nights out whether it's with friends, work friends or university/college friends which means looking and deciding on so many different outfits. The weekend just past, I had two nights out and so I treated myself to two new dresses ooppss!!..unfortunatly my bank balance didnt appreciate this tho! But owell, I dont think I have been out friday and saturday in one weekend since I was 17! It was a great weekend but a long one as I had work on the saturday on sunday but I guess that comes with being a student. Here are a few pictures from the weekend and what me and my friends were wearing........













Fashion Shoot!

Okay so I wasn't going to put any pictures on my blog from my fashion shoot but I have decided to do it now since some people have been asking me about it:D My models were two of my friends who do Dancing and Cheerleading. I done my shoot across three days. I had a go at the photography myself and actually quite enjoyed it. I also choose the outfits that Lori and Casey are wearing. The clothes that my models are wearing were borrowed from my work(Internacioanle) and also from my own wardrobe. The accessories and jewellery were Lori and Caseys own. My theme was Dance but I wanted the pictures to have that old fashion look. The location was quite hard to find and get right I think I done okay. My sister who is qualifued in hair and make up done the models hair and make up for the shoots. The weather wasn't great, was so cold!! Felt very sorry for my models but I suppose in the real world of fashion photography you have to get on with it regardless but we all enjoyed the day. Here is some of the pictures from across the three days.......

Cheryl Cole!

Cheryl Cole is one celebrity that is always on style and hardly ever gets it wrong as the critics would say! I love her style as its very girly. She always looks glamourous and immaculate. She is also the face of L'oreal   for their hair products which again couldn't be more perfect for her as her hair is never out of place. She is always making sure she is on trend and wearing the latest designs for different designers. Last year at this time she was spotted wearing the 1970's look before it was even on the high street but this was forecasted to be massive in 2011 which now, we all now is correct. Her appearance is everything, if she ever had a bad day then the paparazzi would never let her live this down. She is a big style icon and alot of her fans look up to her for it. When she was on the x factor, we all couldn't wait to see what her and Dannii Minogue were wearing and who wore it best!


Here are a few of my favourite outfits worn by Cheryl Cole:
Not-So-Mellow Yellow
Here Cheryl is wearing a bright yellow dress at the brit awards in 2008 where she stood out on the red carpet and also stole the limelight that night as she contrasted her dress with bright pink lipstick and an animal print bag which of course made a statement.
Here she wore this revealing dress with a very low back showing off some of her tattoos. This caused controversy as many had views that the tattoos showing made the dress look tacky and rough looking and also that she looked great from the front but from behind it looked tacky. 

At the Brits in 2009. Dress by
Georges Chakra and Jimmy Choos Shoes
Sexy in Stripes
Wearing Herve Leger bandage dress, this got many people green with envy as you could imagine as many thought she had the perfect figure in this dress.
Military Mode
Performing on the X Factor wearing Julien Macdonald.  This was the performance that got the nation talking for many reasons but it was a definite fashion moment for Cheryl as the military trend came back into fashion, this was a big deal for many retailers as they were promoting "Steal her Style" and also across loads of magazines was spreads about military mode and many fans where inspired by her look.





British Fashion Awards 2011!




So the British Fashion Awards were held in London this week and a very proud Victoria Beckham was the owner of the award winning designer brand gong! This came as a shock to the designer, after many years of trying to achieve a high fashion clothing line. Victoria was overwhelmed by the night, as this will be one of her biggest achievements. She beat top line designers like Stella McCartney, Burberry and Tom Ford. Below, a victorious Victoria is posing with Marc Jacobs.

Top designer Stella McCartney may have been beaten by Victoria Beckham however the famous designer didn't leave empty handed, she won the Red Carpet Award which is not surprising as alot of celebrity's are wearing her designers more often than ever on the red carpet.

 The biggest win of the night went to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen who won Designer of the Year Award for Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress which will go down in fashion history as the nation was beyond excited for the reveal of her wedding dress, also the fact that it was designed by the late Alexander McQueen.
