Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop, yes yes yes!!

So the fabulous designer, fashion illustrator and founder of the legendary Biba company, Barbara Hulanicki has designed a wonderful and magical collection for Topshop.

Launching at the end of April in selected stores, the fabulous small piece collection of tshirts, dresses, scarves and hats combines a colour palate of coral, mint, white and dusky pink. They show several patterns of a strange cartoon, flinstones like prints and whimsical, fantasy illustrations adorning the garments. 

This is some of the collection....

So decide what you will, I am personally loving the collection and may indulge in a couple of pieces myself after the launch :) 

And thats only a few days away........]

And a few lovely pictures from the launch party, held at the Miller's academy of Arts and Science in London (I have taken this from the Topshop website) not sure how its going to come out but please ENJOY ENJOY!

So I watched Nick and Norah and....

...i loved nick and norah, if you havent seen it yet, i suggest you go and check it out! Its heartfelt, lovely and i couldnt stop smiling all the way through! Also its inflating my excitement for my pending trip to the USA 10 fold!!!

I havent been on here a lot lately and ive been shit at updating and all that bollocks, i could use the excuse of super busy blah blah but to be honest ive just been dead lazy and havent figured out anything super interesting to tell you guys! 

Well what can say is this, on saturday afternoon I fly to the USA, New York that is and when i get back, boy are you guys in for a treat! a blog about my time there is in order and the fun things I got up to, interesting people etc etc! 

For the time being, anyone who has seen Candy the film, staring the late Heath Ledger, if anyone can recommend it or has seen it and has an opinion on the film let me know! 

Also if your in Notts anytime soon, get yourselves down to this lovely night

Its an amazing night and its barely reached its first month, but on the opening night capacity reached over 3000 and it ended up being a one in one out situation! These guys are normally found giving out some sort of free entry opportunity throughout the week so get yourselves down there for a fun night of cheap drinks and stupid dancing! 

Wooahh i just realised how boring this blog was, right im gunna go away and find something more interesting to talk about! 

See you guys after NYC!!!! when im going to get my arse back on track!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry for the delay.....

God I have been awful, its been nearly 10 days or something since my last post! that is awful! Well seen as I'm really really bogged down with uni work at the moment I'm going to make this short and sweet. 

I am currently in the middle of a project to create a magazine aimed at the 16-21 age range, I sort of want it to be a mixture of nylon, teen vogue and Elle girl (not in print anymore). Now this magazine will be primarily female orientated but could be unisex really, it wont have anything to do with mainstream celebrity, female problems and all that malarkey and will simply a fashion and entertainment magazine for the more creative and fashion forward teenager. 

Now this blog is all about asking for some advice on the project and to see if anyone has any advice about it at all! I would appreciate it so much and anyone can leave a comment and it can even me anonymous if you want it to be. 

Sorry about the short and sweet blog this time guys, I promise a better more detailed one is in store once im a little less stressed and a bit more up to date! 

But please help if you can do! :) 

Thanks guys love ya!

Cow Cow Cow..... The lock in

On Thursday night I had the wonderful pleasure of driving my way round Nottingham's crap road system in an attempt to attend the lovely Cow Student Lock In,

Cow is a vintage shop in Nottingham, but is extra special as it isnt the ridiculously expensive prices of a 'vintage' shop (although its not quite charity shop prices either). However, it is set out like a vintage shop with everything being individually hung up and even sectioned. 

Thursday night they held a student lock in whereupon arrival you recieve a ticket that allows an alcoholic beverage (they also gave away free red bull all night), the chance to browse the rails late at night, listen to a dj playing a set of pretty good electro/dance music and 10% discount on every purchase. All in all they delievered well, I was impressed and even bagged myself the most amazing jumper dress!

Here are a few picture I took last night, not many as I got a bit too excited about the clothes but have a look anyway...

And my purchase for the evening... (£12.60!)

All in all it was a good night, the beer wasnt very nice, the red bull was, the tunes were good, it wasnt crowded and I got something beautiful which I love!

If you are ever in Nottingham check the place out at 2 George Street, Notts NG1 3BE (also there is branches in Birmingham and Sheffield that I know of it you want to check those out to!)

Speak to you soon guys! Love ya!

Madhatter Madness.....Johnny Depp

From the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, out 2010 one of the first pictures to be released from the film is Johnny Depp as The Madhatter, with amazing other characters such as Matt Lucas as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and Helena BC as the Queen of Hearts this film promises to be another dark and satisfying masterpiece from one of my favourite directors :) I cannot wait!

Enjoy......

Paris Paris Paris

As well as my huge obsession with New York at the moment and my imminent visit to the big apple in March for ones birthday (and various other things), there is one other city that has captured my heart like no other and that is the beautiful city of Paris.

I had the pleasure of visiting the city last february for Premiere Vision and had a wonderful 5 days there which only served to make me fall more deeply, madly and sincerely in love with it.

The beautiful streets and alleyways, lead to treasures and the most beautiful restaurants, catch Le Tango Du Chat- 6, Rue Saint Severin if you can do its in the Latin Quarter near the Notre Dame de Paris and it has the most beautiful food and an even better waiter who will keep a party of young ladies entertained all night!

Smaller and quieter branches of American Apparel lurk in various areas around the city (also slightly cheaper) and wonderful shops filled with trinkets and accessories to melt your heart and reach for the wallets! I could have wandered down those streets all day and all night, and even though our hotel was in the ghetto, it was surrounded by an outdoor market on various days and it was within minutes to the nearest metro stop.

Another place that captured my heart whole and completely was Versailles, I am in love with the tale of Marie Antoinette, the ultimate party girl whose expensive lifestyle as the Queen of France brought upon her own downfall. If you visit Paris it is also worth a visit to Versailles which isnt far away and im pretty sure regular transport links are available into the town.

I didnt get a chance to visit the town itself, but the Palace is amazing in its own right, it is still being restored but what they are doing to it is incredible and well worth the wait when its finished.

I am planning to visit this city again this year, preferably when its a bit warmer I can sit in the palace gardens and eat cake :)

Anyway there is my love for Paris and Versailles in one small and rather picture perfect blog, feel free to comment and share your thoughts :)
