On Saturday 19th May 2012 the V&A museum in London is holding an exhibition of ball-gowns since 1950! It will include evening wear by Norman Hartnell, Victor Stiebel and Zandra Rhodes with dresses from the catwalk shows of Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, Erdem and Jenny Packham. the exhibition will also include a selection of royal ball-gowns, featuring Princess Diana's 'Elvis Dress' designed by Catherine Walker. It will also have dresses worn by celebrities including Beyonce, Sandra Bullock and Elizabeth Hurley. 
So are you going? Because I definitely am! I wouldn't miss an opportunity like this to see some of the most beautiful dresses all in one room! See you there!

New shorts!

You know that you have those moments when you see an item of clothing and you instantly fall in love with it? Well I had one of those moments on Saturday in River Island! I was looking around the store and I saw these shorts and fell insatntly in love with them!

Leotard - New look
Shorts - River Island

I tried a lot of tops with these shorts and really enjoyed experimenting with the different colours because there are so many colours in the shorts!

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen is my favourite ever designer! When I found out that he had died I cried! For my art coursework he is my inspiration so I thought that I would share some of my favourite designs with you!



If I had enough money I think that I would wear EVERYTHING Alexander McQueen! But sadly I don't. I will just have to keep hoping that I will come across something Alexander McQueen in a charity shop! Wishful thinking I know!

In Mum's Shoes

My mum probably has one of the biggest shoe collection I have ever seen! I think she has about 60 pairs of shoes! She has 19 pairs of a single make called Irregular Choice. They are all brightly coloured and beautifully decorated! They have to be the coolest shoes ever! Here is a picture of her collection and two of my favourites! 




This is my favourite pair because they are so colourful and I love the ice cream on them! They remind me abit of something from Katy Perry's music video for California Gurls!

Charity Shop shopping!

Because I am low on funds at the moment and wanted to do a good deed, me and my two friends, Milli and Katie went charity shop shopping! I always love going to charity shops because they always have something good in there you may have to look around for it but trust me its there! When i was digging around the rails I was so pleased when i found this blouse!




The blouse was originally from Eastex Heirloom collection. I got it from the british heart foundation charity shop for £2.99! I really love this shirt and I think that it looks great with leggings I tried it with alot like jeans and a skirt but it looks best with good pair of black leggings!

The detail on the blouse is really beautiful and gives it a really nice vintage look! I also bought a pair of light blue jeans but I have to take them in first! I will do a post on the finished product soon!

Lots of <3
