Bikini Time

Its that time of year once again. I am heading off on holiday in less than three weeks, and I do not appear to have a bikini that is even vaguely wearable. Searching high and low throughout the shops today proved highly unsuccessful.. So I have resorted to my last resort, internet shopping. It may be a retail phenomenon,  however it is just not for me, it is so easy to be sucked into a basket full of garments that you (deep deep deep deep down) know that you are not going to wear, or they may not look right, or may not even fit. All in all a general dilemma in my opinion.

HOWEVER, I have gone against my general dislike of internet shopping too have a little browse. I could hear Victoria practically screaming my name from across the pond. And boy did she have some secrets in store. Now just to choose which one will be flying my way...

Just spotted this beautiful Dior wedding dress on the Fashion TV Face book page. I think I may have fallen in love....

New Hair



After my sheer excitement of getting my hair done I completely forgot to upload a photo! I am pleased with my new hair, it is very different and I must say I am still getting used to it. 


Hi my darlings,

Apologies for not keeping in touch, hectic life is my only excuse. I wanted to share some fab photos i took in London the other day whilst shopping with mumsey. All day I was itching to get the Harvey Nichols to see what their S/S12 windows had on offer. They certainly did not disappoint.

 Play on words for the newest and best lingerie shop in town.

Inspiration has clearly been taken from the old traditional shops in London, a traditional sweet shop, and market stall infused with S/S12 bursts of print and candy colours. Promoting the best of British heritage, a huge influence on fashion at the mo. The windows would not have been completed without our red post box, and loyal Bull terrier.

The time and effort that goes into visual merchandising is not always appreciated. A sharp creative mind is paramount, with the ability to catch peoples eyes, influencing what they buy before they have even stepped through the doors.

Harvey Nichols is by far one of my favourites for their window displays. Classy, elegant and chic.

Dear New Readers

Oh hi there darlings,

Please look out for my next post- Pat McGrath- the worlds most sought after make-up artist (who never even took classes). She is an inspiration, and it just goes to who that if you have a raw talent for something, keep at it, and you will soon be rewarded, just as she was! keep an eye out darlings.
