Happy birthday Vuitton and Dior!

Today it is the estimated birthday of Vuitton (left) and Dior here.
Which means they are now two years old! How they grow :)
We actually bought them in April but estimating their ages early March was about right and both my mummy and my sister have birthday's on the third of a month so it seemed a good date.
They do make me smile.
And little Chanel- Dior's daughter who shall be two herself in just a few months- joined the party too.
They shall soon be getting an extra helping of apple and lettuce but in the mean time I guess my hand will do..
Vuitton has really taken to grooming my hand the last few months and although it's a curious sensation at first I think it makes us both quite content of an evening. Dior has a little lick sometimes but Chanel is all teeth so it is best to keep one's hands away from her mouth!
I'm really lucky to have such lovely little girls, they make me really happy.

Inspired by Chanel

Chanel was one of my very first fashion loves- those quilted bags! And I soon discovered some other very lovely things about the brand.

Chanel style

The pearls. Oh so ladylike with many modern interpretations.
The camellia signature. So lovely and coming in many different forms.
The fabulous range of lipsticks.
Perfect accessories from two tone shoes to scarves.
The tweeds! Very elegant, and I seem to have developed a severe weakness for pink tweed now. This fabulous book, 'Chanel: Collections and Creations by Daniele Bott, is a wonderful volume of all the things I love about Chanel. It makes for very informative reading and the photos are really beautiful. I bought my copy on holiday last year and still love pouring over the pages, I'd deffinitely recommend it to any Chanel fan.
When I grow up I'm most deffinitely going to be a Chanel girl. =]

:( In need of a happy post!

I'm not feeling at all well today, and all I really want to do is go to sleep, and then get to the doctors in the morning. Urgh.
But hugging my lovely guinea pigs (they're so adorable) and putting together this polyvore set made me smile.

Nice things

My favourite lipstick is in there, as is tie-dye which I'm currently obsessed with as I'm including some in my fahsion project. Hello Kitty is also so cheerful, I have lost my USB sticks at the moment- I put them away before holiday, yes the holiday I went on in July, and have not found them since- but they are not so pretty as this one even if I could find them! I also like cereal and always seem to be short of a bowl so this one would do nicely. I also managed to include a headband, and I do love those, it's even pink and has jewels, and some hydrangeas, which happen to look just like the ones that are inspiring my dress at college. =)

Inspired by Lula

It has been a whole 9 days since I posted a polyvore set. =P Oh the restraint and withdrawal symptoms..
These ones are inspired by the wonderful Lula magazine's latest issue. Really, everything in it is so beautiful, deffinitely worth looking at. Now I want to get my hands on some back issues!

Fashion Collages

So browsing around some of the IFB members' blogs, I saw collages made on the website 'Polyvore' and decided to look for myself. :)


The blouse.

I basically wanted to work an outfit around the Paul and Joe blouse (which I love, first spotted in Tatler magazine). The shoes are those fabulous Fred Flats I was raving about a while ago. I adore the velvet Miu Miu bag, and of course I snuck in a bit of Luella with the jacket. The quirky skirt is Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Erdem dress

This is my very favourite dress from the Erdem aw09 collection. I love the colours and I really think the shape and colours would suit me. Right, who's got £600 to spare?? ;)

Shoes, glorious shoes!

In a recent moment of madness I decided to make an inventory of my entire wardrobe, no easy feat when you start considering items such as jewellery.
So to break it down I've started with the shoes.
The above are my favourites in style, though not necessarily practicality. =)

Top row: Topshop, New Look, New Look
Middle row: New Look, Next, New Look
Bottom row: Christian Louboutin, Prada, Chanel

(Yes I have a lot of New Look shoes!)
