Great Gifts for Valentine’s Day

Posted by Chloe
February 14th, 2010

Typical Valentine’s Day gifts include chocolates and flowers, and although both are much appreciated (I mean who doesn’t like the lovely smell of flowers and the sweet taste of chocolate) they are very predictable. If you’re are looking to do something different for your girlfriend this Valentine’s Day then why not think outside the box. It doesn’t even have to be a big expensive gesture, and some internet sites have great ideas. For instance, why not try buying personalised retro sweets or love hearts, or if you’re looking to get more than one gift why not go for a hamper.

Valentines hampers are a great idea. You can often choose what gifts you would like included within them, so you can make them as cheap or as expensive as you want. The basic ones tend to include a valentines teddy, a bottle of wine, chocolates and sometimes even strawberries. The more expensive hampers can include champagne, a variety of fruit and chocolate, candles and biscuits.

If all else fails why not create a hamper of your own filing it with all the things your girlfriend will love and you will be well on your way to a happy Valentine’s Day.

At this time of year people have already bought there calendars for the new year. Whether your tastes are in movie stars like Robert Pattinson or Pop Stars like Westlife there is a range of calendars out there for you to choose from. Personalised calendars are also popular and you can get your favourite characters, colours and much more if that’s what you are after! Sometimes you can find discount calendars down your local highstreet but other times you may find the best prices online.

Depending on your preference there will always be a place for you to find the latest and greatest calendars on the market. Being such a bespoke product allows shops to sell a wide range of themes for calendars. The season for buying calenders is now before the year really kicks off so get down the highstreet or shop online today!

Personally I have a calendar of McFly, they haven’t been doing much recently in the music world but they are still good to have hanging on the wall! They also have a new album coming out later this year with a lot of songs collaborating with Taio Cruz. So if you fancy your own personalised calendar then get out there and get one while the year is still young!

Next Clothing

Posted by Jasmine
January 7th, 2010

When it comes to work i hate buying clothes to wear for it as on a Saturday night i would not go out in a pinstriped pencil skirt and white blouse!

Its hard though as i don’t want to wear something tacky but i don’t want to spend a fortune that’s why i love Next for work clothes it ticks every box; quality material, affordable and fashionable! Unlike Warehouse and French Connection where you could be spending around £85.00 for a work dress you can get one for half the price at Next that looks just as good.

Next caters for all ages its funny as me, my mum and my nan all shop there for our work clothes now but that proves just how good it is!

Ladies and Gents its time to join in the New Year Sales! Happy Days! I know the thought of packed shops and endless queues seems unbearable but if you want to get around 50% to 70% off an item of clothing then it is well worth it!

I bit my lip and set my alarm early so i was there before the car park get to busy and was very proud when i left armed down with bags, i even got 20% off a Mulberry handbag see it is worth it! I know sometimes it can be full of very old stock but there is also some really good bargains to pick up, i would recommend Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Reiss and French Connection for the best sales for men and women.

So if i was you don’t be lazy, get up and make your way down to the sales!!!

Skiwear at Topshop

Posted by Jasmine
January 5th, 2010

I am a sucker for Topshop! Seriously this shop is where the majority of my wages are spent every month! So when my partner told me that in 2 months we are going skiing i was more worried about my wardrobe on the slopes than i was about breaking a leg!

I mean i know it is not London Fashion Week but you still want to look and a little fashionable in the snow so o how happy i was when i went online on Topshop’s website to see that they now have a section for people who are off skiing or snow boarding. If you go to there site it is the SNO section and there you will find thermals that actually look good, snug pants and a selection of hats, goggles and scarf’s.

So happy days i am off to Topshop this weekend to get stocked up

New York

Posted by Jasmine
January 4th, 2010

Last year i wanted to end the year with a Bang so i went to New York on Boxing Day for 5 days! I have never been before and how i feel i have been missing out!

New York is fantastic i have never seen or been to a place like it before not only does it have amazing sites to see and humongous food portions it also has the best shops EVER!

You really could just go to New York for the shopping experience i was in my element, you will find the biggest department stores and each brand also has its own massive shop unlike in England where it all seems to be crammed into Harvey Nichols or Selfridges!

So if you want to shop until you drop then New York is the place to be!

Heidi Klum’s White Trash Wedding

Posted by Chloe
December 23rd, 2009

Stunning supermodel Heidi Klum is known for her excellent taste and good fashion sense, so, everyone was a bit surprised when she decided to have a white trash themed wedding when she renewed her vows with her singer husband, Seal. Heidi opted to wear an extremely trashy white gown which wouldn’t win any style prizes anytime soon. She also had her hair in very tacky corn rows for the event.

Heidi and Seal are well known for their love of fancy dress and this occasion was just another chance for them to indulge in their love and have some fun with it. Heidi’s trailer trash white gown was covered in sequins and she even sported a glittery veil in her very trashy corn row hairdo. Not to be outdone by his wife, Seal sported a very eighties mullet hairdo which is usually only sported by bad heavy metal bands and American southerners.

The ceremony was conducted, in true trailer trash style, by an Elvis impersonator who seemed to enjoy the event very much. Heidi went so far as to chain smoke fake cigarettes throughout the ceremony. Infuriatingly, Heidi still managed to look completely gorgeous proving clothing and taste are not the be all and end all of beauty.

Nicole Miller Bridal Show

Posted by Chloe
December 18th, 2009

Designer Nicole Miller is usually known for her bold designs and outrageous graphic prints along with her experimental designs and use of unusual fabrics, however, when she exhibited her new bridal collection at a recent event, her designs were more toned down and classical.

Nicole showed her bridal range at a New York show on April 6th this year. Guests at the shows were wowed with the beautiful gowns she had on offer. The designs featured heavily ruffled and pleated designs along with fabulous origami style pleats and tucks. Keeping with tradition, white was a prominent colour. Some of her designs featured trendy intricate beading reminiscent of 1930s Hollywood and old school glamour.

True to form Nicole Miller couldn’t see a show go by without some more wacky pieces and she had several piece on show made from crazy metal fabrics and a rippled tidal pleat outfit which resembled a huge tidal wave. She also drew some inspiration from the 1950s with cute retro halters and stunningly romantic silk dresses, as well as, A-line skirts and flamenco style trumpet dresses.

Kate Winslet’s Rooftop Fashion Shoot

Posted by Jasmine
December 13th, 2009

Oscar winning actress Kate Winslet is one of the most down to earth actresses to come out of Hollywood in recent years. She is known for trying to play up her working class roots almost as much as she is known for her on screen performances. Her latest photo shoot saw her take to a rooftop construction, which despite its location, was anything but working class. She looked more like a society girl from the 1930s than a construction worker.

Kate donned a slinky little black number and sexy black high heels for the sizzling photo shoot. She posed for several shots which are destined to appear in popular fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar. The photo shoot clearly gave a nod to the famous ‘lunchtime atop a skyscraper’ photo which showed dirty construction workers in the thirties eating lunch at the top of a huge skyscraper. Evidently this shoot was much more sexy and seductive. Kate seemed to enjoy the shoot and in an interview she even complained that people saw her as middle class because of her accent. She had a lot of fun shooting the pictures in New York where she now lives with her director husband Sam Mendes.
