Hello Little Miss Velvet!

Hello Beautiful People!

I write to you with some really cool and exciting stuff!....Its been a while but there are a few things about the fall/winter collections that im majorly excited about and some things im just not sure of! LOL

So in my 21st century fashion lecture last week we were discussing and looking into fashion forecasting and predictions.It made me realise just how amazing the fashion industry is. Not only is fashion all around us its also psychological and many companies and designers can anyalse the catwalk and forecast seasonal trends up to 18-24months in advanced of the market! It is truly fascinating.

So I have noticed that velvet is very much in! im loving the body-con velvet dresses and I have my eye on a burgundy red one in new look which i soon have to purchase. :P

So I took the time to look through New York fashion week shows and various other high street stores. Its very evident that velvet is in , Which The Catwalk Have Called VELVET&VELOUR I do like the majority of the garments I have seen BUT there are somethings I am still very unsure of! like the velvet leggings i have spotted in river island? Anyone else seen these monstrosities!? LOL However thats the great thing with fashion we often see things on other people that really make us think twice about the garment right?....

Anyway thats all for now, I have uploaded a few velvet items and placed them on a slideshow 4 you all!
WATCH OUT FOR THE VELVET KILLER HEELS- River Island!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Hey YOOO! *American accent*

I have just come back from one of the best weeks of my LIFE! Ive been to New York about 6 times in my life but this time it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! loved, loved loved it!

I did the crazzzzieeesst! amount of shopping and I still came home with change! America is a dangerous place for a girl who loves fashion and can shop for a whole country on her own. LOL

So when ever im in the US whether its Florida, LA or New York I have to do a forever 21 shopping spree! Its a store that really screams British fashion, almost reminds me of Topshop and a ridiculous low price.

Whilst I was in the Big Apple it happened to be Fashions Night Out! When i found out I could have died! Everyone was in town from Kim Kardashian (whoever knows me knows im a HUGE fan! *excited* LOL) to Naomi Campbell! The buzz in Manhattan that day was amazing!

I could go on for forever about my trip but all I will say is if u have the chance to go to New York and just admire the lifestyle, the fashion , the glamour and the overall city buzz U NEED to do it! heres a few of the pics I took of my time and all the shopping I did! WOOOPS! HEHEHE...

Vivienne Westwood - Ultra girl Jelly Pumps with Bow Detail in Gold! YES! IM IN LOVE!!

Hi Dolls!


Its been soooo long! Ive been busy trying to find a job and sorting out my stuff for uni!
However! I came across these babies! I mean i love Vivienne Westwood but theses pumps are the cutest thing right!?

Originally i fell in love with the brown pair until shopping online i came across the pink and gold pair.

I really think these shoes cry out SUMMER not only this , but i know some girls are not to keen on wearing sandals and showing their toes therefore these shoes are perfect!

I think they look really good with sun dresses and even with a with a nice pair of straight/skinny legged jeans :)

I've Written My 1st Concert Review! :)

Hey guys!

I write to you with some exciting stuff!....
I have really been trying to push myself out there and network with the positive and successful people. So i met with an AMAZING young lady called Stephanie. She's worked with various PR companies and recently had huge involvement with Alica Key's black ball, some of you may know it as keep the child alive. When she told me all the stuff shes been in involved with i was gobbed smacked as shes only 22 and has her own PR company which is growing daily!

So cut a long story short , after meeting with her she said she was going to use me to see my skills and also allow me to challenge myself to see what the industry is really like. For me i was so excited, but also so nervous as me wanting to be in the media/fashion industry has never been more stronger , i think, dream , talk and walk fashion and media EVERYDAY!

So i receive a phone call from her about a week later. I was shopping in the west end as i often do ( I'm so bad :p ) and Stephanie told me she wanted me to write a review for the chipmunk concert! I WAS LIKE WHAT!!? ME? She said to me "i have no doubt u can do an excellent job" literally shaking i said "yeah i guess!"

So i got to the 02 and was handed 2 VIP tickets! (i know right VIP! :0 ) with a press pass! i was still so nervous but so grateful for the opportunity as it was time that i showed the world what i can actually do! I brought my friend along so it was even better!
The concert wasn't exactly to my taste, but i had a FANTASTIC experience! And was networking throughout the night! I was able to talk to chipmunk's father and also Chipmunk himself all of which i added to my review!

SO ALL MY READERS, AND FELLOW BLOGGERS I THOUGHT I WOULD UPLOAD THE ROUGH COPY OF MY REVIEW BEFORE IT WAS SENT TO THE EDITOR OF PRIDE MAGAZINE!

Ive had feedback and they said they loved my writing style and that they couldn't wait to read my future reviews especially about fashion as they know my the passion i have for fashion!

Sooo YAY ME! lol
hope you guys like it!....

Love u all! :D

DREAM BIG, YOU NEVER KNOW WHATS AROUND THE CORNER!....
I Am Chipmunk Tour Review[1]

Casio Confusion!

Hiya All!

So last week i was under crazy exam stress , and everyday i was sitting in LSE library from 10am-9pm! it was way to much so i had to treat myself to a little urban outfitters fix! wohoo just the little 1 in covent garden! hehe :)

So I found a really nice retro Casio watch which Ive wanted for a while. i think gold watches look really good in the summer and i wanted a bit of an old school look so i purchased the Casio in urban outfitters along with my levi 501 shorts since its been so warm! My watch came to 52 pounds which i thought was kool but i was pretty sure i saw a similar maybe Even the same one in the Argos catalogue!

So when i got back to the library i was talking with my friend about the watch being in Argos so we looked on the the Argos.com site , and what did we see?! MY WATCH! :O
and it sure wasn't £52! it was £22.99 I could not believe my eyes! but yes i now have my retro watch which Ive worn a few times still cant quite part with my toywatch but i really think gold faced watches are great look!

Urban Outfitters really let me down, but still one of my favourite places to shop!
Just remember to always look around before your purchase items because it could be cheaper somewhere else! im a bargin hunter and no matter how much money i make i will always look 4 my bargins! LOL!

That's all for now..stay beautiful!

DID SOMEONE SAY CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINS!?

Hey Dolls!

How has your day been? mine has been rather LONG! was sitting in the library from 2 this afternoon till about 8 this evening and Ive been downing the redbulls to keep me awake! Cannot wait for exam season to be over!

BUT! Admire The Shoe Just For Second People!...I AM IN LOVE!

‘Ulona 140’ Platform Sandals


Christian Louboutin I have to say has designed the most AMAZING footwear of 2010, He Is Genius! andI must say these have to be one of my favourites from Mr Louboutin so far!

The colours used are so in right now, and are what they are calling 'the latest catwalk colour fix'. I actually saw these shoes first on Khloe Kardashian which you can see in my last post.However I picked up my weekly fashion fix AKA LOOK MAGAZINE! And Saw Ugly Betty Star Ana Ortiz wearing the shoes, so i obviously had to do my research!

So The Shoes where tribal inspired as you can see, and keeping with the gladiator style has a zip fastening sitting on the back of the shoe. They are the most divine pair of shoes but they are coming in at a *woozah* price of £1,095

All I can say is if I had the pocket to afford these beauties they would be on my feet!
I tried to locate miss Ortiz in the shoes however i couldn't find a picture, so i uploaded a photo of the magazine cutting on my Blackberry.(qualities a bit rubbish lol)




So we can"t just have pretty shoes we need a fab outfit to go with it! So I have selected a ruffle shoulder design by rare which i think would look great with the shoes. I have selected the NAVY blue in the shoe, although picking up the red in the shoes would also work extremely well!







Another good look for these is the straight leg cut jumpsuits as you are still able to admire the detail in the shoe under a straight or skinny fit pair of trousers.

Anyway Stay Fabulous And Treat Everywhere Like A Catwalk You Never Know Who's Watching :)

The Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma Bag...2007 OR 2010? EITHER WAY I NOW WANT IT!

Hey My Sweets!

So As Some Of You May Know MY Close Friends Call Me Khloe Kardashian....Yes WE LOOK NOTHING ALIKE! haha
But I Really Think She Is ONE HOT MAMA!
We Kinda Speak the Same I Guess AND Defo Have The Same Sense Of Humour! But I Have Seen Khloe With The Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma Bag, And I Wasn't To Sure If I Was Feeling It To Be Quite Honest!

BUT! This Is Khole K We Are Talking About!

I Saw My Fav Dash Sister being Photographed Back In April In New York And She Looked 'OH SO FLY' Apart From The Fact I Couldnt Take My Eyes Off Of Her PATTERNED LOUBOUTINS, She Rocked The Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma Bag EXTRAORDINARY, STARTLING WELL! :D

I Love Khloe She Has An Amazing Figure Going On At The Moment , Although When I First Laid Eyes On The Bag ,I Thought It Was The Worst Louis Vitton Item That Had EVER been produced (In The Spring 2007 Collection ,yes its old) I NOW HOWEVER HAVE CHANGEd MY MIND! :D SEEING IT WORN CORRECTLY ON THE ARM OF MRS KARDASHIAN-ODOM, And Surprisingly Looking Good On the Arm Of PARIS HILTON, I feel That This Bag Needs To Be On My Hot List! This Bag Is Also A Great Look For Summer....Hello Miami Beach! :)

If Khloe Can Still Rock This Bag In 2010 Then So Can We Baby!
Lets Fly Together! :)





Mwah!

P.S Here's One Of My Cards From One Of MY Best Friends (Well Shes More Of A Sister) For My 18th Which Was On Thursday! She Stuck A Picture Of Khloe In My Card! HAHA! I Call Her Kim Kardash Because She Can B Such A Diva At Times! But I Really Loved This Card So I Had To Throw It In Somewhere! Damn I Love U SHANI CHOPRA AKA KIMMY :) XXXX

A MUST HAVE!

clinique Rootbeer lip gloss!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies! Ladies! Ladies!

I Have Just Discovered This AMAZING Lipgloss That Literally Lasts Forever On Your Lips!

I know My Blog Is About Fashion But This Is A Basic Essential IN MY EYES!

Forget the tricks of the trade ie..' foundation under your lip gloss makes it last longer' because this stuff is seriously AMAZING! ok ive said amazing twice now which means it must b fabulous! lol

I Even Brushed My Teeth With It On Today! And Yes My Lips Where Still Looking HOT And I didnt need to re-apply any more!

I love this lipgloss because you can wear it everyday and even on a night out. The Rootbear tone allows it to look really natural on all skin tones aswell.

Its reasonable price of £15 and leaves you looking 'glossilous' hehe!

So Girls Get Your Behind To Your Nearest John Lewis!

Lets Fly Together! :)

WELCOME :)

SOOOOOO
Where Do I Begin!?
Hi Dolls :)
This is my VERY FIRST blog!....WOW it’s pretty exciting!
My name is Natalie and im currently finishing off my A-levels in media, film studies and sociology. I have a really strong "passion for fashion" as they say, but also just a love for individuality and style! Im going to Northampton University to Study Fashion Marketing In September of 2010! :) i am soooooooo beyond excited as i WILL follow my dreams of working within the fashion industry! RUNWAYS,DESIGNERS, MODELS , SHOES , DRESSES , HANDBAGS , NEW YORK, PARIS, FABRICS , TEXTURES AND ALL ROUND FABULOUSNESS!!! I wanna see it all!!

I AM A CHRISTIAN! And that is something that is very important to me its not a "religion" but a lifestyle and a relationship with my ALMIGHTY father JESUS CHRIST!
im not gunna bible bash you every day with my blog but its something that I want all my 'browsers, readers and 'fans' lol' to know...furthermore those of u that dont know him i would love for you to get to!

ANYHOOO....

This blog will contain my fashion ideas, tips, trends, DO AND DONT'S and my general random thoughts and feelings that regularly pop into my head! LOL...

Journalism is something im tryna dig into and blogging will help me develop my writing skills and engage with my audience through the way in which i write. And I really hope that i will receive weekly readers! *closes her eyes*

I am really eager to see where this takes me, but I know that anything is possible with Christ and therefore it IS POSSIBLE for him to take me ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF MY GAME! Because I Really Do Have Sooo Much To Offer!
