...Discovering Nottingham..

Sooo..... I moved to Nottingham about 2 months ago and I've got to say I really like it!!!! I hadn't had much time to explore before... but now I have time of from work I have been seeing what Nottingham has to offer!!!!..

I now work as a Trainee Product Manager for River Island.. and I run the kidswear section ... it's a really cool job the only downside is it starts to make you want kids as the clothes are sooo cute!! hahah

So when I was driving around the city with my boyfriend yesterday I came across a fabulous shop!!! Inspired by vintage dresses it sells of the rack dresses and custom made ones!!! You can either use their fabric choices or bring in your own, and have a fabulous dress made for you and I think its a really affordable chic way off looking fabulous!! 

I contacted them this evening about doing some work experience with them as I'd love to learn how to make them!!....

#

I love this dress!!! its so cute and the stockings and cake just add to the shoot!!

the dresses are very popular around Nottingham and many girls send in pictures to their website of them wearing them!!!

this is my favouriteeeeeeeee!!!

This is the shop.... its on Forest Road Nottingham... you should check it out!!! Im gunna go in and have a Christmas dress made I think...

Sooo the other week this really cool girl came up to me at work and gave me this flyer... its for  burlesque club...their halloween night... and Im very intrigued... i want to go!!!! one of the girls from work does burlesque classes for dancing and I wanna give it a go... i think it would be fabulous and a great way to get to know more people too!!!...

I went to a wedding in devon a month ago, it was one of my best friends, Sadie from my fashion degree!!! It was such a beautiful and magical day and the vintage inspired wedding was very kitch... here are some of my favourite photos..

..Oscar Update!!

So the award season is just about over... and to be honest I havent seen that one dress that is gettin all the talk and style admiration.... whats happening ladies... not to say there havent been some gorgeous dresses this season, just not that one show stopper yet....

Maybe Im too much of a little monster of late to be shocked by n e thing any more...

Anyway here are some of my favourites...

Got to say I was very impressed with Mrs Pitt.... as of late her red carpet dresses have been dull and boring.. her hair has been flat and im pretty sure if you studied her carefully you would of seen a bit of baby sick on her shoulder... but that was untill the Oscars... he looks like a SEX Siren in this Versace gown... very impressed... keep it up..

Gywnth Paltrow in Tom Ford... now I LOVE Tom Ford and this is why... he has a eye for what looks frickin amazing... and this is one obvious reason why... the cut of this dress is so beautiful, yet powerfull, femine yet sexy... love!

Come on Natalie Portmon, and Dior... what are you doing... there is nothing to this dress... its too long for her, looks ill fitting and the hair just does not go... as she is the black swan actress you think she would of had the choice of many many dresses... not impressed Miss Portman...

Ok, so this is a classic Oscar Dress.... when you think of oscar dress in your head this kind of thing would be popped out... Yes Penelope Cruz, you do look beautiful, and Armarni Prive, it is a beautiful dress, and nice colour... but thats it... its just NICE... there is no risk... there is no fashion forwardness.... it is a very safe beautiful option... but I know you could of looked sensational in something edgier but still beautiful Penelope....

I LOVE the dress... of course I do.... its McQueen..... what a stunning dress... Jessica Chastain were this colour beautifully, and her copper hair makes the gold pop out of the dress..the hair and makeup is soft, and lets the dress speak for itsself... impressed..

Meryl Streep in Lanvin.... A very nice a unsual choice for a older lady, I like the fact that she is still having fun with her fashion, and hasnt gone down the boring route, It is a beautiful cut on her... very nice work Meryl...

I love this dress.... I love the colour I love the design... but sorry Michelle Williams, I dont love you in this, you have such a slim athlete body that this is doing you no favours at all, someone like penelope cruz or scarlett Johanson would look sensational in this Louis Vuitton Dress, it need curves to give it that wow... a big of booty and a curve of a hip....

\

now this is a very interesting dress, it reminds me of a virgin Mortia Adams, from the infamous Adams Family, It is very 20's and very beautiful, unforgettably Rooney Mara I think you might of been a little too short to wear this frock, it needed someone with height, as the bottom of the dress makes even a supermodel look shorter...Givenchy... nice work.

If you guys had to dress this label... I am assuming.. that you would not pick Vivenne Westwood... It is a beautiful dress, but ol' Viv is known for her amazing pattern cutting, and strange contoured shapes over the body, and Im wondering if this was just knocked up 10 mins before the show.... hmmmm

I am actually in love with your hair Katy... who needs russel when you look like this... very well done..

Wow the True Blood couple themselves... at the afterparty... got to say.. with clothes on you still both look fabulous..

Gorgeous Gwen Stefani!!

What a fabulous night... hopefully next year ill be reporting on it from next to the red carpet...

What was your favourite dress??

....True Blood...

So, Im pretty sure I have proberly blogged about True Blood before, because it IS the most amazing programme on tele at the moment, and now the 5th series has started on FX on Sky.... and it is turning out to be very very exciting...

and thanks to my beautiful friend... I am also reading the books... from the start.. so I am totally obsessed.. (more than usual)

This is a picture of the Season 5 cast... so far this season we have experiance Vampires(obviously), Faires, Whitches, Shape Shifters, panthers, demon babies, and warewolves...

You can not say that there is a dull moment in True Blood, for those of you who hav ebeen hiding under a rock for the last few years, the series is about a girl named Sookie Stackhouse, who, after her parents are killed when she is young is left being brought up by her grandmother in a small town bon temps with her older brother, she is known as a freak and crazy by her friends and neighbours, as since she was a young age she was able to hear peoples thoughts, She knows she is not 'normal', and then when the vampires come out in society and start to live amongst humans, Sookie is desperate to meet one, and her lifes changes forever when Bill Compton, Vampire and very attractive man, comes into her work (Merlottes a pub nand grill), and as they say the rest is history.

True blood, however is not for the faint hearted, and I would not recommend watching it with your parents or any small children, as the sex scenes in it are very graphic and has been comapred to soft porn, and also the violance is very strong, and so there is alot of blood and filth throughtout, but if you are not shy about those kind of things True Blood is show for you..

Sookie stackhouse(centre) with Bill Compton (right) and Eric (left) - A sheffif Vampire and local club owner of Fangtasia a Vampire themed and run bar.

This magazine cover was done for a press shoot to launch the 3rd series..

The scenes are very erotic, and sometimes the cast members are coverd in blood or are being threatened at the time..

Sookie and Best friend Tara at Merlottes...

The Vampire Queen with her lover

Eric at the moment has been turned into a younger warewolf by some Whitches, which is the current storyline at the moment... let me know what you lot think???!!!

...LFW...Day 4

Soo..... I was very excited when I sore the Erdem Fall line... at LFW today... the bold colours and prints make us all feel a little safer knowing next winter is not going to be drab and dull...

So here are some of my favourites from the show..

Love the sweetheart neckline of this frock, very 50's inspired, which we have seen alot of on the catwalks this season and last, its obvious curves are around for the next few season's ladies!

love the graphic print on this frock. the unsual lace work very well aswell, I could see this dress on Michelle Williams..

This dress is by far my favourite of the collection so far, the print is bold and beautiful, the cut is elegant and sophisticated. I think this will be a very popular a-list dress in the next few months to come.

The column and shape of this dress is very chic.. I love the mixture of lace and the bright colours!!

wahhhhhhhhhhh this is amazing!!!!

I am actually in love with this dress, it is absoloutly beautiful, the print is exceptional, and the way it is situated to work around the body is amazing!!!! defiantly my pick of the season!!

cute.... preppy... awesome mix of clash floral print!!!!!! How can you not look forward to fall with this!!??

Ok, I have to own this dress... I dont even care how much it costs..... it is amazing.. the print!! wahhhhhh!!!!!!! loveeeeeee

I think someone has been watching my week with marilyn a bit to much in their inspiration seshions....

amazing... you know I dont think their is a peice in this current collection that i dont want to smother all over my face and stare at while sipping a cup of tea..

London Fashion Week... you are giving me goosebumps wth my excitement for the new year!!
