Mafia style

Last month I assisted a very FAB stylist, on a Mafia themed fashion shoot for Style Noir magazine.

This was my first menswear shoot and I loved every second of it!  Here are one of the snaps from the shoot (courtesy of style noir magazine)

The magazine is on sale now :)

Horrifyingly Fabulous

Mwaa hahahhaaa!! So, Halloween is right round the corner and I have been invited to a Halloween party. I think I might play it safe and opt for a dress rather than an actual costume. Now don't get it twisted, I am a sucker for fancy dress but I don't think I will have the time this year (well, that's my story!)

Anyway, I am in two minds and I still have time, but for now I am having a serious SWOON fest over this dress from Misguided's 'Creep It Real' range.

and these shoes

umm .. or these 

Which I would wear with (one) of my fave MAC lipsticks.

MAC

Thoughts on the dress?

Keeping it cut out

So, last night I went for ribs, cocktails and the rest with a group of friends. We kept it local and headed to Wimbledon. As I write this post, I am still feeling super full as boy were those ribs hugeeeee!! 

As it is definitely time to dig out (or buy) lots of knitwear, I wore a checked printed jumper and teamed it with my latest crush- cut out, wet look leggings.

These leggings are from a brand called An Outfit. I snapped these up last week (blog post will be up about this event soon). With the weather the way it is at the moment, it really is all about layering. So I also wore my leather jacket and a faux fur gilet.

                                      (Excuse the scary look of my eyes in this pic) lol!

On another note, I have my eye on a few winter coats, jumper and lots of other I-need-now pieces!

I need to write a list.

Have you started your A/W shopping yet?

Lovers In The Parking Lot

Leggings with printed smiley and sad faces, THOSE pink, shiny shorts, along with lots of other oh-so cool and colourful outfits, worn whilst busting out some serious moves in an empty store.  Solange can make just about anything look pretty fab!! If you haven't already seen it, check out the latest video from my biggest style- crush here

The track  "Lovers in the Parking Lot"  is taken from her EP (aka one of the songs that I  listen to constantly).

What do you think?

I can not get enough of this track, video and this chick!

Isabel Marant for H&M

Like all of the girls at work, I FIRMLY have November 14th marked in my diaries... (i phone, work and my Monet hardback diary) Why? the Isabel Marant for H&M collection finally lands in stores.... *scream*.

Like many I have lusted over Isabel Marant from afar (Hello, SS14 collection, shown at Paris fashion week), but my credit cards won't stretch that far.This is why this collab is so exciting as the prices are defo credit card debit card friendly!

Isabel Marant, SS14, ready to wear 

My Isabel Marant for H&M wish list (consists of a gorgeous embellished trophy jacket, leather ' I MUST have' cropped trousers and a sexy pair of sequined (?) shoes. If previous collabs are anything to go by-I predict a major fashion riot!!!!

Will you be queueing up for this collab?

Which items are on your list?
