High Street Fashion Fun this LFW


With the crazy, adventurous appearances coming out of the ever great London Fashion Week at the moment, I thought it only just to share some simple high street options with you on my blog this coming week. Starting with a very simple tourist in my home town look.

One of my new favourite shops of the moment has to be American Eagle Outfitters. I am so elated the brave Eagle has finally landed in the UK, after years of online ordering and forever waiting, like a puppy by the letter box in anticipation of the morning papers. We can now visit one of its many UK locations to purchase some wonderful layers and incredibly comfy jeans.

I now have two pairs of the high rise jegging, off black and dark navy. I find them the most fitted, engagingly beautiful jeans i own and at £29 i think they are very reasonably priced. They do not fall down, i am not forever flying low when the zip magically decides to undo its self whilst walking and the long are finally long enough for my lengthy pins.

My hat, also an Eagle classic, is a very dark Navy and always keeps my head toasty. Yes it does make your hair flat on occasion but what a small price to pay for the grandeur of this beautiful head cover. Even a lovely barista in the coffee shop commented how charming it looked on me, and wished he could pull off such a hat in a similar way, to which i replied with "I bet you can, everyone loves a hat, try mine on"

Finally onto the camel covering my shoulders, known to normal people as the common coat! This was from Warehouse, a place I do not shop in very often, they tend to do more classical pieces which is great, but i am more of an American/Australian designers fan. A cut i would not normally go for. This oversized find was a real treat and i love the way it flows. The fabric falls softly over any outfit, the jacket works beautifully for evening with a seductive red lip, or for daytime with some nude lip glossiness. Also great for when your having one of those "fat days" it is such a flattering cut for any woman. All in all an outfit great for those cold winters days that seem to still be hanging over us, do not forget layering. I am a huge advocate of a layer. Bring on spring!! Lets brighten the world with some colourful garments to contend with those forever glowing daffodils and such like that make us all smile.

Scrumptious evenings at the Wildhart.

As a couple in London we used to eat out all the time, always sampling the local E3 delights. But since moving to the beautiful Hertfordshire, yes, we bought a house, so naturally had minimal savings left, and we have been working so hard to get our house the way we wanted we haven't really sampled the local delights... that was until now! On a mammoth countryside walk with our little dog Bertie, in the distance we came across this beautiful looking Mill. So holding that memory in our minds we endeavoured to find out, what this unusual looking landing ground is. We tracked the restaurant down online. It seemed they had newly opened upstairs and offered a Valentines menu, something we do not normally go for but we said what the hell and booked it in advance.   Upon arrival, it was a little dark in the car park which we later found out from the owner, was currently being fixed, but this also added some kind of magical charm to the fact it was a dark rainy night and we we...

Emotions (warning, deep meaningful post ahead.)

Emotions? Good or bad, up and down, round in circles. Flying high on top of that all encompassing mountain or delving into the depths of the abyss. What are these feelings we can sometimes allow to take over our lives with such haste and control? Why is there so much pressure on us to feel a certain way and moreover why do we put so much anguish into our own beliefs and thoughts. A human is born with a constant need to be wanted, to be loved, to be cared for. From a newborn we look up to our mothers, to those we can rely on and those who make us smile, in turn this makes us feel safe. To be in someones arms or simply held by another is enough to build the soul and watch those endorphins flow, after all, HUGS stand for Helping Us Grow Spiritually! Life is a constant craving for recognition and praise. At certain times in our timeline this fades and increases depending on our situations. Some humans have a distinct lack in feeling and are some what selfish in a number of ways. This c...

Preparing for the BAFTA's

Image
For this post I wanted to go through the amazing stages of getting one of my wonderful clients and friends ready for this years BAFTA event held in the beautiful Royal Albert Hall. A day in the life of a red carpet makeup and hair artist, as wonderful and glamorous the event is, full of beauty, splendour, pomp and circumstance, there is a lot of behind the scenes that goes into creating, mastering and eventually achieving such wonderment. With a dream to be nominated and having worked with the awe inspiring Stephen Fry in the past experiencing his quick wit and renowned intellect first hand, to witness his hosting skills in all there beauty, what a wonder. To sit amongst your piers and witness the talent in the room from screenwriters to makeup designers, hollywood icons to the driving forces behind their careers. One day I will perhaps be lucky enough to belong in that room next to my love, and even, win an award for my chosen field, the dream that everyone in this industry chases a...
