Nail extensions are clawring their way up the fashion ladder. This time last year nail extensions were known as the cherry on the cake for the chavistic look. Now the extensions are shinning in all there glory and the top of the fashion accessory food chain!




Now a days you can have absolutely anything painted, sprayed and glued onto your newly crafted nails. From animal print to the well know chanel logo, to palm trees to water melons. You want it then the lady and gentlemen in the nail store can sort it for you.





Taking from between 45 minutes to 2 hours to have your nails done is it really worth all the money you pay? Depending on where you go depends on the price, the cheapest place ive found so far is £20. £20 on something fake and temporary.

Could you class this as part of the plastic surgery club?! Something that is part of the glamour girls club?!




Every girl will try fake nails out once in there lives, especially due to the fashion break through. So what do you think of this fake phenomenon!?

The Fashion King!... Paul Poiret

The fashion King... designer, illustrator, craftsmen, businessman. You name it and he's probably done it. Paul Poiret changed the fashion world forever with his lampshade dresses and his oriental style coats.

I have recently written an essay on this great man. I didn't actually realise how influential he was until i did a bit of digging and found out some incredible things.

He was born into a good family and died in utter poverty. He was assistant to the most important man in fashion in the 20th Century, Doucet, at the age of only 19. He was accepted my some and turned away by others. He had a rollercoaster of a life.

He was fascinated by the theatre and ballets. He got given the opportunity to design costumes for some of his favourite shows and was living, what he thought was, the high life.

Showing off his designs in magazines such as the infamous 'Gazette du Bon Ton' and in his own catalogues.

He took the corset away and replaced it with loose fitting garments. Empire waistlines, fur neck jackets, kimono style coats. 

Designers today such as Marc Jacobs and John Galliano are influenced my this Parisian King. He is and always will be known as the The Fashion King!

Jackets Galore!

I opened my wardrobe the other day and forgot that i even owned my jacket. I bought in last Christmas from Topshop and pretty sure i wore it with everything i owned. From jeans to leggings, dresses to skirts. It was and still is the most versatile garments any women could own.

Thank you Lord, the jackets are back!! but not in just one style but in every style you can imagine. The spring/summer 2010 shows last year didn't show a particular style throughout but each designer seemed to choose a different jacket style ( a game of rock, paper, scissors may have taken place?!)

Ralph Lauren is currently selling the classic blazer. Prada has gone for the bolero style jacket and Hussain Chalayan has gone for the beautiful , glamourous yet cool silky jackets.

So girls (and guys) its time to whip out those jackets this summer and wear them with shorts and tshirts on a chilly evening and always remember to wear them with confidence! Thank you fashion god for letting styles repeat themselves!

first fashion show ever!!

Paris can only be described in one word... PHENOMENAL. But who doesn't know that? Well take myself for instance. I had never stepped foot into the City of love and fashion so i had know chance to comment on what my own thoughts of the city were. Thankfully i agree with the rest of the tourists!!

What made such a visit even better was the fact that Paris Fashion Week was taking place. I managed to fight for tickets 2 days before i arrived in Paris and attended the one and only RM by Roland Mouret Fashion Show. 

Celebrities such as Victoria Beckham have worn his bright and Vibrant designs and this A/W 2010 collection did not disappoint. Held in the 'Gymnasium Jupe' down a back street in the City and the anticipation was buzzing through the air like a bee.
The Editors American Vogue attended. Anna Wintour looking classically stylish as always in her trademark sunglasses sat front row. Alexandra Shulman and actress Zhang Ziyi were also sat front row in the large room.
Floating like huge balloons ( or maybe grapes?!) were the lights all clumped together in the center of the ceiling. As the music started,one by one the balloon/grapes lit up and set the ambiance for the show. 
Plum, Fuschia, Black, blue and silver were the signature colour's during the show. From wollen skirt suits to sculpted dresses. Each outfit was designed to inspire and amaze. There was a lot of use of wool and knit was used throughout his designs.
One of the major appearances was off the hood. Even as models left the show to dash to the next they were all showing off these gorgeous floaty hoods that looked a crossed between a snood and  piece of satin drapped round their heads.

The show was a magnificant success and is one im going to remember as my first designer fashion show!!!!
