Style It. October Celeb Street Style

Image
The street style set were out in force again this month with plenty of enviable style. True to form my top three picks are chic, sleek, sophisticated and, yes, predominately monochrome [again!] – what can I say, it just looks so good. Check out the gals below… Top / Skirt / Heels / Lipstick When you’re the grandchild of Elvis Presley it’s pretty obvious you’re going to be born into the spotlight, and when it comes to fashion Riley Keough is shining bright. Love this sophisticated yet feminine monochrome ensemble she worn in Cannes. That skirt was made for twirling. Longline Blazer  (an absolute steal!) / Trousers / Cami / Heels  (70% off) Now this is all-white done right. This creamy trouser suit looks seriously incred’ on Kate Hudson . Love the flowing cut and the longer length style of the blazer which adds extra sophistication. When she dresses like this she certainly won’t be loosing any guy in 10 days… Knit / Jeans / Shoes / Bag  / Pom Pom Fashion’s fav...

Must Have. HM X Balmain

Image
With only ten days to go, the hysteria is building for the much awaited H&M X Balmain collection. Personally I’ve had a calendar reminder for the 5th Nov in my schedule since it was first announced at the start of the year. What can I say? Fan. Sneak peeks are slowly filtering through and thanks to our US counterparts we’ve finally got an idea of pricing; from $35 for the Balmain tee to $649 for the embellished dress. With the likes of the Hadids and the Jenners already sporting the collection, I’m simply gasping for the fashion cred’ that comes with these covetable styles. I'm lusting after the branded tee, velvet top and faux fur jacket. Feast your eyes... Share your comments with me on  Instagram ,  Facebook  or  Twitter . Photos via H&MXBALMAIN.

One Day. Stylist Live London 2015

Image
Every Londoner worth their salt knows that Tuesday is Stylist Magazine day. A little lifestyle, fashion and food freebie handed out for your reading pleasure, designed to make your tube journey go just that little bit quicker. Last week was a big week for Stylist with their “Live” exhibit on from Thursday to Sunday in Angel Islington. After waking to typically cold, grey London skies on Sunday morning it seemed like the perfect opportunity to go check it out. With everything from fashion to beauty to food on show I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. First stop was the gastronomy area [of course!]. From the cheerful fellow with his rare cheeses to the chap who knew all about flavoured gin, everything was on show and ready to taste. I may have ducked past the chocolate stall several times for a nibble of the samples! Totally guilty. Next up, homewares where I absolutely fell in love with the designs from Freya. Pastel hues, cute quotes and cushions designed to brighten your day, wh...

Must Have. Top Five Winter Coats

Image
There's no doubt the winter weather has struck London already. It's now dark when my alarm goes off and each morning I find myself hurriedly shuffling around my room trying to dress as quickly as possible whilst standing next to the radiator for warmth. That's when you know it's cold. Only yesterday I read an article that said Britain is about to face a 50 year long ice age. I swear their weather reports get more and more dramatic each season. Last year they said we were in for endless blizzards and we barely ended up with a sprinkle of snow. So this year if we're set for an "ice age" then I'm thinking perhaps we'll get one snow day... Nevertheless it's all still a sign to put away the summer wardrobe and stock up on some luxe winter coats. From pops of colour to lavish leather, these are the five favourites I'm lusting after this season... 1. Neutral Robe Coat //Reiss 2. Leather Jacket // Balenciaga 3. Double Breasted Coat // Reiss 4. Faux...

Suitcase. Party In The USA - Vegas

Image
Cha-ching. Vegas. It’s safe to say I was pretty excited for this final leg of the trip because I’d not been to Vegas before. We decided to road trip it from LA to Nevada where we saw some pretty incredible desert scenery along the way but nothing compared to when we drove up over a rise and first laid eyes on the mirage-like sparkling city that literally lies in the middle of nowhere. Incredible. We drove in down the strip, past the iconic Vegas sign and every other glittering one along the way. The Cosmopolitan was our home for the week and can I just say wow. Check out my room. How could I resist taking a mirror selfie?... This dress is my new fave, I love khaki for blondes. Unfortunately this style is sold out now but there's a few other styles in the same shade here  (so feminine!), here  (a total steal) and here  (for a hint of military!) Back to the room, which was totally dreamy, I never wanted to leave and it had the most comfortable bed of my life. I guess they’...

Eat Me. Wicked Spoon Buffet, The Cosmopolitan Vegas

Image
Now before we get onto the Vegas leg of the trip, I simply had to dedicate an entire blog post to the most incredible breakfast buffet I’ve ever laid eyes on in my whole entire life. Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan Vegas. Oh my god doesn’t even begin to cover it. My family was in such a state of awe they actually videoed their way around it and instead of other customers laughing at them, the fellow breakfasters decided to join in and do the same. It’s really that ridiculous. It needs to be seen to be believed. Let’s start from the beginning. There were freshly squeezed bottles of juice... Eggs Benedict... Pancakes and French toast... Large assortments of pastries... Even larger assortments of cakes... More cakes... Freshly churned ice-cream, because it's totally acceptable to have a scoop with your pancakes for breakfast right?... And then we hit the point where the cuisine seemed to cross the boarder into more lunch/dinner territory... But you've gotta hand it to the people...
