Juicy Couture Does Cupcakes

Today I spent my day preparing  for my birthday extravaganza. Involving me making 24 cupcakes (pics coming soon). I napkin folded, table prepared, piped frosting, and made goody bags all for the sake of my 20th. While I am waiting for the besties to arrive, I thought I would do some window shopping of the online sort. I decided to have a peek at ASOS as I haven't paid them a visit for a whil

Beijing: Where to shop

Going to Beijing, all the guidebooks urge visitors to shop at the markets, where stall after stall of vendors hawk camera batteries, fake designer bags, and gaudy cell phone accessories. To see the best of Chinese design, and find a few souvenirs actually worth carrying home, it's best to avoid those tourist traps. The latest, brightest, and shiniest mall in Beijing is the Village at Sanlitun, wh

Beijing: Eating and drinking

There's really no comparison between Chinese food in the United States or Europe and Chinese food in China. One is typically cheap, greasy, uninventive, and sometimes bland; the other is a smorgasbord of different cuisines, from Uighur to Sichuan to Cantonese, with an astonishing range of flavors and textures. In Beijing, the ever-present street vendors hawk all sorts of stuffed pancakes, roasted

Beijing: Architecture

After the blanket-thick smog, the second most striking thing about Beijing is the contrast between old and new. Construction sites are everywhere, and most of the city's old courtyard buildings, or hutongs, have been torn down to make way for mammoth, gleaming buildings that hardly even qualify as skyscrapers, since they're often as wide as they are tall. Many, if not most, of these structures ho

'Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels' - Erm, What About Cupcakes?

Kate Moss does make me laugh. The quote, oh Kate. We live in a politically correct, hypochondriac society. So the quote wasn't such a food idea. But as per it was taking out of context and if they published the rest of the article which included lil things such as jam making there would not be a furore. But the media love blowing things out of proportion. Hold on - As I am studying to be a Fashio

And I go Back to Black...

I am partial to having a bit of black in the wardrobe as soon as it hits October. I really like black clothes, there timeless, classic and if the right pieces are worn quite elegant. You can't go wrong with black, hence why every girl has an LBD, black boots, black coat and black gloves. Now I just used the word 'hence' I just remembered one of my favourite House Bunny clips. Which I can't find o

Lip Smackers - The Review

A couple of posts back (scroll down) I mentioned my delight at having seen the Lip Smackers Flavours or as they call it 'Flavors' range in Claire's Accessories. So I bought them today, I bought the multipack which includes the Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Vanilla, Fanta Orange and Sprite Lip balms. I really do love a gimmick, and a lip balm.All in all, they smelt enough like the real drinks. It was not l

Daul Kim: Rest In Peace

The fashion world is mourning the death of Daul Kim. She was recently seen at the Christopher Kane for Topshop collection and has walked for Chanel and Dries Van Noten. Daul was only 20 years old and will be a great loss to the fashion industry. My thoughts are with her family and friends <3.Photos: www.models.com

What is fashion?

 Fashion... a word that has so many connotations. It is often belittled and put into a box along with other things that are not seen as intelligent or worthy enough for people to care about. Fashion is not about clothes, clothes are functional, they keep you warm, they keep you cool, they keep you covered in a society that dictates that you need to wear clothes. Fashion goes beyond that. Fashion is communication, fashion is expressing yourself, showing your identity and being you. Fashion is an art and should be seen as such. Designers are artists and their creations should be respected

Lip Smacker & Swizzels Matlow Lip Balm

During a late night shopping spree with The Mother, I decided to have a little look in Claire's Accessories. Why am I in a pre-pubescent shop you ask? Well, I was on the lookout for things to put in my goody bags for my birthday sleepover, and thought I'd have a little peep in Claire's. After much looking and The Mother complaining I saw something that my eyes cherished... Lip Balm. I am a sucker

For the people, by... Adidas? The €1 shoe.

Having already pioneered the simplified 7-piece sneaker for their edgy eco-spin-off, SLVR, Adidas would seem like an excellent candidate to make the $100 computer of footwear: the €1 shoe. Toms Shoes are currently at the forefront of ethical footwear; but fresh off last year's scandal over underpaid workers at its Chinese factories, Adidas is looking to rehabilitate its image, and a charity shoe

Fashion goes digital with an LED gown

As a lower-powered alternative to conventional lightbulbs, LEDs have lately emerged from the stuff of blinking signs into many aspects of our daily lives. Times Square and Las Vegas are already famous for their flashing, colorful LED billboards, but lately we’ve been noticing a few NYC buses and subway entrances festooned with LED advertisements. As fashion channels developments in the world arou

Victoria Beckham & Harper's Bazaar

I love VB. She is one of my idols. I love The Spice Girls. I love her style. My friends think I am obsessed with her, I am not I just love her. Wow, that whole sentence completely contradicted my last statement but whatever I just like her, most people don't but I do. So imagine my joy when I popped into M&S and saw her gracing the cover of Harper's. As a true fan and magazine-a-holic I reall

Jimmy Choo for H&M Pre-Launch

Just got home from the Jimmy Choo for H&M launch. Amazing, amazing, amazing.Firstly the event started at 6:30pm and we got there around 5:10. The queue was already quite long, but a lot of people were just queuing because there was a queue and they didn't have tickets.The doors opened, and at first there wasn't that much of a rush, on the way to the collection we did catch a glimpse of Nicola
