Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas... DECORATIONS!

Hello Beauties, 


I know 'Christmas Decorations' isn't the most exciting topic but the tree and home decorations from Anthropologie (http://www.anthropologie.eu/uk/page/home) are far from boring.

These 6 tree animals are AMAZING! They look so cute and I know they're not extremely Christmasy but they are different and unique. Each animal can be bought online at Anthropologie, prices range from £8 to £14. You could put them on your main Christmas tree, or if they don't fit in with your main tree's style or theme you could buy a small tree for your room to put them on. I have a small tree in my room just because love Christmas and I can decorate the tree the way I want!

The Fox:

Cute. The fox is £14 and the link is here ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/scampering-fox-ornament/invt/7585602170036/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Stag:

One of my favorites because it reminds me of Harry's Patronus from Harry Potter (btw I LOVE Harry Potter!)
and it looks very Christmasy too! It is also £14, the link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/snow-stag-ornament/invt/7585602030027/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Robin:

My overall favorite because it is soft, fluffy and look cute, not to mention that its the cheapest one at £8. I associate robins with Christmas so this ones great for me!

The Hedgehog:

£10 link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/prickly-hedgehog-ornament/invt/7585460190001/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations




The Owl:

Probably my least favorite but still cute £12 link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/wispy-owl-ornament/invt/7585460190004/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations




The Squirrel:

Another one of my favorites! £14 link --->  http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/nutty-squirrel-ornament/invt/7585602170032/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations


So those are all the animal tree decorations, but Anthropologie has more!

 This is a tree snowglobe in the shape of a salt-shaker.

There are lots more of these so go and look at them on the website! ;) 


They also have tonnes more tree decorations...

Including a range of fruit and vegetables, like this fig

which is £20.


I would Strongly recommend ordering the catalogue, which is free (http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/browse-catalogues/catalogue-request/page/catalogue/)
its a really nicely printed one!


Plus if you order anything online it comes really nicely packaged! I can only order online because I live in Yorkshire and they only have 3 shops in the UK -2 are in London and 1 is in Edinburgh- store locator---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/store-locations/page/storelocations/

Helena Bonham-Carter is known to shop at Anthropologie!!!

Nicki Minaj

Hello Beauties, 


Just a piece about Nicki Minaj. Comment if you like her I'm interested to know who does as I can't stand her! Of course I have nothing against people who like her it's just that I've never really liked her or her music.


In my opinion shes... "not suitable". I mean, have you seen the clothes she wears?!? I would insert pictures but I wouldn't want to be labelled as a porn site.


I'm not saying shes ugly but she isn't exactly pretty is she? Come on, have you seen her on this picture...

Whats with the cheap looking fake nails? And the chavvy outfit? Please comment if you think she looks nice, it might just be me who thinks she looks utterly disgusting.

And I think she dresses too much like Lady Gaga. Well, she tries to. However she always fails in my eyes. Lady Gaga dresses in unusual, creative outfits but they always seem to look really nice (most of them anyway).

See? She looks pretty on these pictures! The Hello Kitty one is a little odd, but still its better than this...

Need I say anything?

So thanks for reading, please comment on what you think on Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj! 

Keep reading!

Autumn Winter 2011 Catwalks - Boy Style

Hello Beauties, 
For sharp ideas on tailoring, designers borrowed from he boys. Dressy menswear- tuxedos, cummerbunds, silk ties and overcoats- is a neat option for evening, but the most sensuous looks added a feminine spin by teaming with a desirably silk shirt or sparkly trousers and heels.


Once again I'm just going to show you some of my favourite pieces from the 2011 catwalks. Enjoy and comment with which looks you liked!



Think Masculine suiting, tweed, a classic white shirt, brogues, a trilby hat...   

Tibi                                                                                This outfit is probably one of the more feminine outfits in the 'menswear' category, as it has a beautifully, girly, frilly top matched with a gorgeously defining white jacket. The trousers look fabulous too as they, like the jacket, define your leg, in the same way the black collar defines the white jacket; the white and black of the jacket is such a contrast, it makes the white look even whiter!

Stella McCartney
This piece of Stella McCartney's is quite plain, but with a simple charm.



"This season we made the collection more masculine in some places and more feminine in others, playing around with silhouette, layering and movement"
Stella McCartney 

Chanel-
Chanel has gone for darker shades, like these greys, with no contrasting white like the previous 2 image. But Chanel has once again stunned me with just how beautiful the designs are. 


Coco Chanel loved a girl in boy's clothes- and her brand of chic subversion is everywhere this season.

Paul Smith-
This coat is a kind of coat that you would see on a man walking to work or through town in winter etc. It does look like a man's coat, actually I think my Granddad has a coat like this, but Paul Smith has changed it so it looks like the perfect winter accessory. 


"I was listening to a lot of Patti Smith when I was working on the collection, so that definitely had an impact on what I sent down the catwalk. I love her boyish look."
Paul Smith

DKNY-
Just had to do 2 pictures for DKNY!  Both the outfits are gorgeous!
1st picture-
The leather just looks so nice and luxurious with the gorgeous cream coat and I love the contrasting colours.
2nd picture- 
This outfit is also amazing! I love the shoes because of the two-tone on them, as I said before I love contrasting colours, and they just go so well with the jacket (which I also adore)

Moschino-
This coat is one of the more feminine pieces of the outfit, I also think that this ensemble crosses over into the 'Fetish' look too, just because of the hat.


"The pieces most representative of this collection were snatched from men's wardrobes, but the exacting style and rigid line of tailcoats, tuxedos and riding jackets has been toned down with precious fabrics and decoration" 

Rosella Jardini, Moschino


So, I hope you like the post, I would love to hear what your favourite 'boy style' pieces from the a/w 2011 catwalks were and comment with ideas for more posts or videos.
