Crystal Renn Doing it for Curvy Girls!

 

I'm inspired! Saw these pics today of Crystal Renn posing next to a size zero model for the next issue of V Magazine! Just goes to show that you can carry a bit of extra weight and still be high fashion. Renn has graced the cover of American Vogue and I hope that designers do start to make larger sample sizes so that we can see more girls like her featured in our consumer mags. She looks beautiful. End of......

Paramore and You Me At Six show

I went to see Paramore play at Wembley last night and our seats were so good that we were practically on the stage! It was so incredible - Hayley Williams is a force to be reckoned with! You Me At Six were supporting and my old Surrey chums did not disappoint. The wonderful Tom Barnes took an amazing crowd shot (shown above - http://www.tombarnesphoto.com/).  We'd already clocked Danny and Dougie from McFly (we had better seats than them HO HO HO!) and as we were walking out from our seats there were a crowd of girls getting their picture taken with Dougie. So I jumped on this bandwagon, as you do, and I said to him 'Dougie, I'm 25 but I'm still a fan!' and then snapped the above pic! Highlight of my night.......

Clarks Desert Boots are 60!

Never thought I'd be into anything by Clarks as they remind me of sticking my foot in a foot measuring machine when I was a kid but then they released the Desert Boot! Can't wait to get my hands on the denim pair above but also love the liberty print ones (can't go wrong with a liberty print). For their 60th anniversary they have designed the three shoes above and if you go to www.livinganoriginallife.com you can create a visualiser to define an era over the last 60 years - and if you get the most votes you win a Vespa! I think I might have to get involved as a vespa would be lush, the snow might have to clear first though...... 

Snow Tubing = Brilliant Fun!

For our work Christmas party we went to the John Nike Leisure Centre in Bracknell (took me back to my skating days!) to go Snow Tubing! Some of us were a bit sceptical about it but once we ran to the top of that slope with our rubber dingy's in tow there was no stopping us! I'd recommend it to anyone. We were like a group of children who kept wanting to spin faster and start from higher up the slope! Definitely released my inner dare devil.......

My Secret Santa Present

I tell you what, my colleagues know me so well! This is what I got in the office secret santa! Pure genius!

Jedward's Makeover!

  

I've been meaning to post pictures of this photoshoot for ages as I was so shocked when I first saw it! Your eyes do not deceive you, that is in fact Jedward!! They took part in a shoot for Grazia and I must say that if the 'singing' doesn't work out for them then they definitely have potential models written all over them (might say that on John's trousers above actually....).....

Grunge Eyes

Was reading through the Sunday Times Style (as I do every Sunday) and came across the beauty page where they tell you how to achieve a certain make up look. This week it was 'Grunge Eyes' and as I'm a big fan of the grunge look I gave it a go. The pictures don't really do it too much justice but believe you me it came out very well. Will definitley be recreating this look on my next night out.  Mac make-up really is the best - created this look without any eye shadow, it's all eye liner!!!

Christmas Tree Wars!

The Christmas tree was put up in the office yesterday and I have to say it definitely trumps the one I have on display at home!  I'll let you figure out from the pics above which is which........

Heat Gallery - Celebrity Heaven

Heat magazine have organised a gallery of all the best celeb pics from their photoshoots over the years. Some of my favs included James Corden in Armani briefs, Jodie Marsh as Audrey Hepburn (she's unrecognisable!) and the above pic of SuBo! Alex was also a fan , if not a little bit scared.....

Take That and Party!

For Helen's birthday the theme was band tees and check shirts. I went for a 2006 Take That tee which went down very well in the Cro Bar in Soho.....

The Future's Bright for Full Circle

OMG I couldn't be more in love with the AW09 collection from Full Circle! It's not normally a brand that I follow but after seeing these shots it's safe to say that I'm converted and can't wait to see what the summer holds.  My favourite ensemble definitely has to be the black crochet top and romantic red tailored skirt.  Might have to make that purchase for our Christmas party.  I love the futuristic shoulders on the red top above too - reminds me of Back to the Future Part Two that I watched last night!  The three main influences for this collection are European culture, the romantics and futurism - you can certainly see that throughout the range.
