Whats happening in fashion

Spring Couture 2013
As some of you may know there has been the Paris fashion shows with loads of big designers. The collections that i love the most are the couture ones, to explain couture are extravagant, beautiful garments that you'd see on the red-carpet and evening parties. Hopefully this is the path i want to go in, evening/prom/catwalk dresses. One of my favourite collections so far is from the Talented Elie Saab. A very opulent,  glamorous and stunning collections with dresses that i would love to own.

  



      


I tried sticking to top 3 but ended up with 6 because i just wanted to show how stunning this collection was. If you look at just the shape of the dress they are very simple but look at the detail and you have something so delicate, decorative and just beautiful. The black one is just beautiful, it has the right amount of sparkle which catches against the light. The 4th dress down is one of my favourite s because Saab cleverly mixes 2 patterns, floral and baroc but nicely so they compliment each other. The lace in all the garments are stunning and beautifully intricate. If i had enough money these dresses would be in my wardrobe.

So what collections are you loving from Paris Couture 2013?

OOTD

Hi guys, So i haven't been on for a while so i thought i'd do an outfit of the day post. This is what i wore for school. I looked in the mirror this morning and thought i basically looked like a spy with all the black. My look today was Corset, chiffon shirt and skinny jeans. I got this corset which is absolutely stunning, i got it from the shop krisp at a good price. Wearing it like that even with a long sleeve t-shirt would have been a bit too sexy for school so i layered it with a chiffon shirt which i love. So you could see the corset but not soo much of it. I chose the ring you can see in the photo just because it was a statement ring and added to the spy look i had going on. So this is how you pull off wearing a corset to school.
So what do you think of my look?

 

Lashizzle Eye Lashes

Hello lovely readers, hope winter hasn't treated you too badly. Today when i came home i received a parcel and as everyone know excitement kicks in even if you know what it is. So imagine the excitement when the parcel is PINK, now i'm not super girly but having a pink parcel makes you feel a bit more girly and happy. I opened it up and inside was a wrapped parcel in this super cute striped paper bag with a heart sticker. You can see how pretty it was by the pictures below. Just that much more detail can really make the product just that more lovable. So moving away from the super cute packaging onto the eyelashes. First of all i'll take quickly about the glue you get. I have another eyelash glue and its in a perfume sample bottle that you get and its a bit annoying to open as you need a bit of force and then  you don't want the glue to get on you. The other i have doesn't stick as well which isn't great. This glue is easy to open and the applicator is not messy to use. The last thing you want it for your eyelashes for fall off right. 

Now to the eyelashes themselves. I have 3 pair of eyelashes and i think these maybe my favourite. The one i got to sample was natural but bold at the same time for for a glamed up casual look. I wore the eyelashes and omg they were so light you couldn't feel them on. Obviously you need to put them on so they don't irritate you or sitting on a crease or the actual eyelash line. They were amazing and I know if I were to were these out there would be no problem what so ever.
If you like the look of my lashes the are 'Love Lashes - 916', from £8.99 to £4.00
Along with my lashes there was a little note with a discount code, hopefully this post has pursued you to get them.
For 15% off any of the 'Love Lashes' range enter love-15 before the new years. At the moment P&P is only £1 if you spend under £15 and free if you spend over. There are loads of lashes from the 'LoveLashes' range, from natural to a bit of glitter.
How about getting them for someone as a gift, I know if I got a bag of these I would love the person forever.
Check out their website and tell me what you think..
Happy Holidays :)

Company Fashion Forum

Yesterday Company magazine held this fashion forum event 'how to get into fashion'. It was in hackney in this really amazing looking cinema. So there was a small stage at the bottom where 5 fashion ladies sat. They all had different professions and they told us things like how they got into fashion, what we should try and do, tips to get noticed that sort of thing and then a question and answer. It was really informative and inspiring which helped me make my final decisions on what im going to do after A Levels. Most of them said how degrees are actually so important, and that when they've hired people they haven't looked at whether they've got a degree which confirmed my decision. For me rather than going to uni I want to do an apprenticeship (work and learn), I just thing I'll get a bit more out of it but thats just me. It was really cool being in an environment full of fashion student and everyone being all dressed up, maybe some a bit too much but thats just my opinion. Just before we went in we were allowed to have a drink at the bar and so thats were everyone wait to go in. While I was waiting someone asked to take my picture for their uni project on street style and im not going to even lie I felt flattered and who wouldn't. As you can see I went quite floral with my top, headscarf, bracelet and ring. And finally the goody bag, it was filled with amazing stuff. As you can see I got a few pretty amazing things. There was foot cream and an ipad case which was really random but hey it was free. I saw the goody bag and said I bought that magazine which was a tiny bit annoying but oh well. Overall it was a great night and I would definitely recommend anyone to go to the next one if they do another one. 

If anyone went to the event tell me what you thought of it.

After a couple of weeks with my first button I started to not really like it. Inspired by some buttons I have in my collection page I created this. I dont know about you but I think its pretty cool the only thing to make this a bit better is a bit of glitter (searches for glitter gif). So if you add me please let me know. And check out my other collection buttons at the top.

While im posting this Wednesday Company magazine are holding a fashion forum 'how to get a job in fasion' which im going to, it seems really cool let me know if your going too.
So thats me for the time being I just need to go shopping, that way i'll get inspired for posts.

As some of you may know yesterday was Eid(al-adha). It was a different Eid to the one in August as this one was the festival of sacrifice  The story of this is quite interesting so you can do some research if you want. Anyway this is just a small post showing you how i looked on the day. I wore a dress with lace top and chiffon skirt which was short at the front and long at the back. I wore this with indian styled trousers and a tie-dyed looking headscarf. My make up this time was quite simple just a bit of sparkly eye shadow, fake eyelashes, lipstick and a hint of blusher. I like/love a bit of sparkle to i wore my long diamond earrings that i got for my birthday with a huge sparkly blue broach. As you can see i did some henna for the day which came out really nice. This was a small Eid so all i got was £25 and some Disney pajamas which are dead cute. Unfortunately i didn't get to wear my nice heels because it was bitter cold as you who live in England know so it was socks and my less nicer pair of heels. Overall it was a quite but nice Eid.
I was going to say did you do anything over the weekend but then i remembered Eid was on a Friday.
Enjoy your school break

Autumn/Winter 2012 - Gothic

Gothic by shorty-zainab featuring filigree rings

Another big trend this autumn/winter is gothic. It can be seen on the catwalk this season with the black, reds, lace and leather. There are loads of designers looking at gothic this season such as prada, John rocha and versace. I think a good styled up outfit could look stunning especially if you mix the baroque style into it. Theres something about the skirt that i just love, the lace and cut of it seems quite girly and the snipped sections give it that rough look. If you like anything from this outfit click the smaller icons below.
So what do you think of this trend?
