snoooods.

Opinions on snoods? Better or worse that scarves? I know they are incredibly similar but, you know, some people have preferences :)

£20 - Accessorize

I'm considering this, instead of the Boden thick knit scarf mentioned in a previous post.

Decisions, decisions!

Oh So Eva..

I adore Eva Longoria Parker! She always looks flawless, weather it's in skinny jeans, pumps and a plain long sleeve or on the red carpet, she practically radiates elegance! I loved her dress that she wore to the 2010 Emmys, but i didn't feature it in my Emmys post, so i decided to show some of her other red carpet looks, finishing with the Emmy's 2010 dress. Enjoy!

Here she is at the Robin Hood Cannes premier. She wears Emili Pucci, and doesn't she wear it well?!

Eva wearing Diane Von Furstenberg with H.Stern jewels. She is stood next to her hubby Tony Parker, who has Diane Von Furstenberg, to the left of him!

Wearing Marchesa, along with Verdura jewels. This is at the Fantastic Fete.

At the 66th Golden Globe awards, this is my favourite red carpet look of hers! She wears a Reem Acra dress with Verdura jewels and a Swarvovski clutch.

Eva at the very recent Emmy awards (2010). Looking gorgeous as usual wearing Robert Rofreguez with Loren jewels.

Eva suits floor length dresses amazingly, and she knows it. She tends to stick to floor length, rather than cocktail, she does occasionally whack out those pins though. Every girls got to once in a while ey ;)

Hope your having a good day :D

Fabulous - Big Country

On the weekend my dad bought The News Of The World newspaper and immediately handed me the fashion/beauty/lifestyle magazine called 'Fabulous',that comes with it also by NOTW. I was flicking through when i got to the editorial. The theme was chunky knits and tough leather. It was by Tracey Lea Sayer. The photos are absolutely gorgeous AND the clothes they use in these shots aren't designer clothes, the most expensive item in £150. £150 in my eyes is still VERY expensive but when you compare it to some of the editorials in other glossys, £150 isn't much!

The photo above (the left one) includes a thick knit scarf which I am now planning on buying ASAP! It's £20 from Boden. It's in the section called 'Jonny B' which is for Teens but as it's a scarf it means there are no sizes, which therefore means its good for any age! It comes in three colours, Midnight (Navy), Oatmeal (Cream - the one in the editorial and photo below) and Rasberry (Pink).

Chunky Scarf - £20 - Boden

I need to start being productive.

So summer is over in just under a week now, and it will be back to school. And, I think i need to go back to school! Not only to finish GCSE's and whatnot but so I actually have something to do with my day! I think i've spent more time in my PJ's this summer than ever before and slept more than anyone ever has. It's SO bad! Its a lovely day outside, really sunny and just a few clouds in the sky and i'm still sat inside. I have nothing to do! Well, okay. Thats not completely true, i have a few peices of coursework and several homework tasks to do but come on, summer is meant to be fun. I need to excersise aswell! I just go into lazy teenager mode when summer hits. I WILL GO ON A RUN TOMORROW MORNING! .. I will, I will! I'll wake up at 8, go running, be home, showered and ready to meet a friend at 11! (Wishfull thinking!) See i have tomorrow planned and the day after i should be shopping, but today! ITS TEN TO THREE IN THE AFTERNOON AND IM STILL IN PYJAMAS! what is wrong with me?! Okay, Rant over.

So i ruined some shoes yesterday :(. Admittidly it's not much of a loss as i believe they were a £2 purchase, but still, its a sad time. How did i ruin them, i hear you ask ?(Yes, i know you probably dont care a teeny tiny bit, but i'm putting off doing french homework, that i have already attempted twice...) So there was a party last night, it was outside and very very muddy. It was an INCREDIBLY informal affair so i kept it casual with dollies. I'm not going to describe my outfit, because quite frankly I didn't like it. Anyway, staying on track. Everyone else seemed to have chosen sensible footware (what fun is sensible?) like wellies and trainers. I ended up walking to and from the party with various groups of people about four times, which was also a muddy trek, so to cut a very long and dull story short, my once gold and white (they look nicer than they sound) came back BROWN. Safe to say they are going in the bin! Atleast now i have a valid reason to buy another pair of shoes!

Any nice shoes you like the look of? Paste the URL in a comment :)

Ohh, It would have been nice if this post had more of a point to it! I also realise i have used brackets far too often!

P.S. Yet AGAIN my magazine has not come on time, so i am thinking about changing my subscription when this one is over (which is quite soon, i think). Any Ideas? UK magazines :)

The Emmy's 2010

The emmy awards are back round, and I have to say I was a little bit dissapointed with the dresses. Don't get me wrong the majority of celebs looked lovely but I don't feel there were any show stopping dresses. Everyone looked so elegant, and I do think that elegance is important when on a red carpet, but elegant can be show stopping too!

Rose Byrne - Gucci

Nina Dobrev - Dress: Zuhair Murad, Shoes: Brian Atwood

Julie Bowen - J.Mendal

January Jones - Dress: Atelier Versace, Shoes: Mui Mui

Dianna Agron - Carolina Herrera

Cheryl Hines - Zac Posen

Okay, if i had to choose one of the above dresses to be crowned 'Most Show Stopping' then it would, of course, have to be January Jones' dress by Atelier Versace. Bright blue, satin, a train, strapless. I just shouts red carpet, surely?

Who's dress was your favourite? I'd love to hear all your opinions.

Topshop+Knitwear = Love?

I think anyone who even remotely follows fashion is finished with summer, clothes wise. Hello Autumn.

Ready to whack out our knitwear and boots?

Especially Topshop knitwear.

A little bit Blair Waldorf? - Maybe in black.

Comfy? Check. Stylish? Check.

I'm sorry, but it's an obsession...

I am aware that this is perhaps the third post in about a week or so that involves a bag, but i just can't stop myself. I looooove Pauls Boutique SO much! I would buy everything on the website if i could, but as i mention way too often i am BROKE! No one wants to hire a fifteen year old, so theres no money being earned to spend on everything PB! Haaa . Anyway, this is my favourite bag from PB. £60 :( Oooh, but wouldn't it be worth every single penny!

Also, a couple posts ago i mentioned how i was going shopping again (2nd time, one week)? Well. Yet again i bought ZILCH! I think i said about my headache? Well, that was still going big and strong, although i also felt so sick! I'll spare you any gross details, but it wasn't a good trip and we had to cut it short, all because of me :( I felt tres bad, also meant we couldnt watch Toy Story 3 (which i have been waiting to see for weeks and weeks!) Feeling much better now though, a day asleep on the sofa can do a world of good!

Any thoughts on Pauls Boutique?

I'll be off now, big loves, V xx
