New Obsession.

I am at that age where I want to experiment anything from hair,clothes,boys and now for my new craze TATTOO'S.

I say it's new, although since I have turn't that golden age of 18 I have wanted a tattoo however, my sensible mother (God bless her.) said "if  you want a tattoo wait! If you can't stop thinking about it, then get one." So mum, and other Modele-et-Mode readers I have not stopped thinking about getting my tattoo and I am ready to get inked!

Yes thats right! my no ink body is now going to get the first sign of rebellion. I know exactly what I want it's very meaningful and I think those are the best ones to get. I shall be scaring my body with an anchor, a love heart and my zodiac starsign on my wrist. Yes very common I know but mine has meaning! The anchor represents all my family members in the navy and fishing industry, the love heart represents love and the starsign well thats for me!  

While I have been umming and arhhing about booking my tattoo, I have noticed more and more, how tattoos are becoming popular in the fashion industry!

Topshop are creating their own tattoo parlour. Of course the one in Oxford Street I don't think Topshop King's Lynn would get the custom, and designers have been show casing tattoo's on the catwalk. So why the sudden Fashion craze?

Body Shapes

Finding out your body shape is the best thing any woman can do! Once you find it hold onto it, keep it in your purse and take it with you every time you visit any facility where you may find some clothing that will suit you perfectly! 

These are the typical body shapes, which one are you?

Inverted Triangle:  This is where your shoulders are bigger than your hips. Look in the mirror, do you look like an upside down triangle? If this is you, you can get away with wearing skirts that float out at the waist. This will balance out your shoulders to your hips. You can wear flared trousers. Basically you want to balance out your top half with your bottom half. This will make your waist look amazing. Have another look in that mirror see how good your waist looks. Show it off ladies. 

Column: You my friends are straight up and down. This is a boyish shape a lot of models have this shape however with the right outfit you can have whatever look you feel like. Try double breasted jackets, embellishments to the part of your body you would like to show off work well, do you need a bit of attention on your shoulders to make you look broader then try a blazer jacket with some shoulder pads. 

Rectangle:  You again are a boyish body shape but don't threat! You can get away with some amazing dresses. You can pull off the outfits a lot of people can not. For example high necked tops. You can also pull of halterneck dresses. Why not try coats that pull you in at the waist. They will give you a curvier look. 

Apple:  You guys tend to hold more weight around your middle. So if you would like to look your best then your best outfits are ones that take the attention away from your middle. Empire lines are perfect! V-neck t-shirts, long tops with detail away from the middle. Look for jackets with buttons below the bust. Try to make yourself look longer by using V style shapes. 

Pear:  The majority of the British public are pear shaped. Lots of people get offended by this but just think of yourself as a triangle. Where Inverted triangles are taking attention away from their shoulders you are trying to draw attention TO your shoulders. Your hips are bigger than your shoulders so draw attention to your top half. Bright tops, V-neck shirts, A-line dresses are very complimentary!  Don't be offended you look gorgeous! 

Hourglass:  The "perfect" shape. Curvy womanly, the shape everyone wants. Yes ladies you are the one others admire. You look amazing in wrap around dresses, wide leg trousers, vertical stripes and square neck tops will compliment you even more! Team these with waist belts and your look will be complete with everyone wanting your sexy elegant shape. 

And that's all folks, take some time to find your shape. There are thousands of websites, books and personal stylists which will help you in quest to find your most flattering look. Take some "YOU" time and become the sexy woman you love. It's a new year, find the new you! 

Happy Experimenting!

Don't want to go all Devil Wears Prada on you!

Firstly hello! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry I haven't posted in a while!

Anyway as I was trying to come up with some inspiration as to what to talk about! (I know people will be thinking what on earth is going on!) I noticed something on my twitter feed! Something that I wait for twice a year to be attached with my favourite magazine!

ELLE  The Runway Edit!

For all you non fashionista's Elle The Runway Edit is where us meer mortals get a very small glimpse at the exciting, glamorous, exhausting week that is London Fashion Week!

This year twitter went CRAZY! everyone I follow seems to have been to LFW or were at least observing from the side lines! As some of us (uhum ME!) have to work and are not in the position of going to see the shows I instead, was given the opportunity to attend 2 shows from the comfort of TOPSHOP OXFORD CIRCUS! Wearing some very fashionable headphones, I was able, to really be swept away with the music, print and celebs who attended Topshop Unique show.... (Anna Wintour was there! EEK!)

So I do not feel I missed out and I did receive some free nail varnish from Topshop as a thank you for viewing which was lovely! SO, THANK YOU TOPSHOP!

Now however with my copy of Elle The Runway Edit I can really see what the designers are made of! Although I am fairly disappointed that "The sporty look" has graced the pages again. I will forgive and forget as the rest is pretty marvellous!

I have found a new love for Burberry this year! The deep purple colour of the parka featured in the free mag was gorgeous and the overall collection featured, I felt was like Kate Middleton with a twist!

Gorgeous Parka!

London took the first place for holding my attention although, New York's Calvin Klein collection's prints were very elegant and subtle enough to slip on and wear to the office!

As for the beauty pages, they left me holding on to my make up brush experimenting. Although I don't think I will be attempting to paint my hair red anytime soon!

So quick, hurry, go and pick up Elle this month even if it is just to know what on earth I'm talking about! As for me I'm going to take my inspiration and dress to impress! Roll on February so I can follow it all again.

See the Professionals edit the shows!

Ultra Girlie - Sounds right for me!

Techno Colour - It's summer your not going to wear black are you?

My Discovery! Best thing to happen to the web!

StylistPick. com


We have all seen the advert with Cheryl Cole strutting here stuff in her exclusively designed shoes. So I made the decision to visit this site. Not only because I fell in love with the mahogany shoe boots which were advertised in the advert but also because I was curious with the idea.


They have a selection of Stylists who pick accessories (shoes, bags, scarves) for your personal taste. When you first visit the website you have to complete 10 questions regarding your style preference.


Which shoe do you prefer?
Who's style do you prefer?
How do you prefer your make up?
Simple questions that every girl knows about herself. Then you fill in your personal details. Shoe size? Name? etc. 


After this you receive your "Style" mine was individual. Then they take up to 24 hours to bring together for you a complete collection of what you may or may not like. I haven't received my selection yet so I can't tell you my opinion. 


You are given 25% off your first order (perfect) AND they have free postage and packaging! (Even more perfect.) 


Not only has this website brought together the things girl need the most help with, but they have also brought together bloggers. They have a selection of bloggers featured on the site. They have even recently given their bloggers an exclusive sample sale! You have got to love them for that! 


So take a look, fill out the questionnaire. I have a feeling this site is going to be my go to for accessories advice! Enjoy your 25% off. I know I can't wait to use mine!!




My selection,

They clearly new about my new animal print obsession. This is what I shall be using my 25% off on. They recommend you wear this bag with leather. From coat to skirt. Brilliant! 

More animal print, but these are the reason I found Stylistpick.com.
They are also available without the leopard print detail which I do prefer as I think they are more versatile. Good job Cheryl Cole. 

These were also apart of my personal selection and yes yes yes they got it spot on! I would personally wear these with some knitted tights and a little dress. Even the photograph makes me want to stroke them, they look extremely soft. 

As I was trying to choose between a pair of shoes and bag to show you. I found THIS! Most websites have a "you may also like" and this was one of those moments and my goodness I LIKED! The feathers, the chain and the versatility you do not have to be a rock chick to rock this necklace! You could wear it with a cute vest and jeans add the above boots and BAM! You have a VERY! simple outfit but keeping up with lots of trends! 


Hope you liked my personal selection. But don't forget these were chosen for my style. Your style may be very different to mine so go and have a look! I can guarantee you will find something you love.

Release the animal within!

I have discovered animal print! Yes it has been in our fashion paws for a VERY long time however up until now I haven't found my love for it!



Where it all started!



Until that is the moment I found some shoes that were leopard print and I couldn't take my eyes off them. Obviously I had to find a quick excuse as to why I NEEDED them and they were quickly amongst my shopping bags (doesn't take me long to find a "reason")

Since then I see everything with animal print and LOVE it. Of course it is only nice things I'm not really one for Leopard print quite literally everywhere.

Since then I have discovered Nail Wraps. They entered New Look and I was quick to investigate with some confusion I will admit! However these Nail Wraps are the easiest most stylish things I have ever found to put on my nails! What has this got to do with animal print? WELL! You can have zebra print (like me), Leopard print, Lips, Hearts, Gold, Silver, Some funky print with turquoise involved and they may take a long time but patience is key with this new trend you will soon get the hang of it!

 

Nail Wrap give it a go! Available from Boots, Superdrug, New Look



So yes kind bloggers my animal obsession has now been let lose on my nails. Too far?

I thought I would find some Catwalk Images to entice any animal print haters!

Enjoy x

  

Camden Market. A plcae that unites all Fashionista's

Camden brings everyone together whether your tall, short, British, European, a raver or a vintage flower. There are stalls, art, history, music and food all in a small square market place at very reasonable prices.

I had heard a lot about Camden from magazines, claiming it is the hotspot for North London yet until recently I had never been. I always thought of myself as a high street girl who when it came to sale, I would rather pay full price than rummage. However that all changed when I entered Camden.

Where graffiti covers the walls and people roam the streets, even when it's raining people are there enjoying what Camden has to offer. If your looking to become inspired for maybe an art or music project I would recommend you head down there.

I love vintage, I once did some work experience at VintageDeli.co.uk and loved it and ever since then something with lace or pastel colour and I'm your girl. So that part of Camden with the junk jewellery was perfect for me. But if your into dark almost costume clothing then you will not be dissapointed either. Even if your looking for an adult only shop of course Camden has it.

I took some photographs whilst on my visit to Camden it was absolutely crazy busy but I managed to get my way through the crowd and find some little gems that may just be on my Christmas list. Hope you enjoy and head down soon.

Which one do you like?






Be Brave, Be Daring







There were canvas's EVERYWHERE!





  



Now for a couple of peices I picked out for my personal taste. You may not all like what I picked but I want to show a little bit of me on my blog and I think these pieces really do show exactly what I'm into.

I adore blazer/jacktets. I really do think they add a very smart twist to somthing very casual. I would say my style is Classic and I love these two little numbers. They are super simple t-shirts but underneath the blazer they just look as though you could throw on a skirt in the summer jeans in the winter and hit the shops to find some more beautiful finds. I love it! What do you think?





Now for the jewellery, I love my long necklaces and these are something nice to look at. The camera sits diagonally on you, and I could just imagine all the people saying "I love your necklace" I know I would.

I tend to go for gold more than silver as I find it difficult to dress my wardrobe with silver jewellery so I saw this and instantly fell in love. It's a cute little bike and the chain doesn't twist while you wear it. I tend to try this out now as it has happened to me all too often.

This is the final necklace they are all similar apart from the differnet metal used but they all have something big at the bottom and this is what I like. I like to dress simple but maybe have one or two things that catch people's eye. Something subtle like a pair of shoes or in this case a necklace.


Now for my vintage find. This piece has detachable fur so if you like it with, like me or without you can have it just the way you like it. As I said Camden caters for all.

The print is shoes and although I didn't like the one with the cherry print the shoes are divine. In fact that whole stall had me fighting off not to buy something.









New Look Shoes Under £50.00

New Look have recently won a Company award for Best Shoes on the High Street under £50.
 


Whilst working in the Oxford Street Branch I see these gorgeous precious little beautys everyday and they take up a whole floor! Of course like most High Street stores New Look haven't got it right all the time and unfortunately some of the shoes aren't the most stylish of creations BUT! the majority look amazing!




Some of the shoes available on the web are better than in store as there are exclusive to the web only. So check out Newlook.co.uk and find an exclusive pair just for you.


I hope you enjoy the beautiful shoes and outfit ideas. Let me know!

Also available in Cobalt blue and a Sexy pink

These have only recently come into store and are on sale (yay!) They are £14.99 so will make a perfect present OR a little treat for yourself. It's a time of giving your allowed! The heel, the platform, the fact that with that sling back strap, I won't have to worry about my shoes slipping off is the perfect! I don't know about you but I really like cut out heels. I have a pair from Topshop and on a night out they are my go to shoes. I like that they are a bit rocky, they make an outfit more interesting when your little toes are peeping out the end and you can see your foot in all its glory. Rocky yet Classy. They are definitely on my wish list.

Hello rock stars. Welcome to New Look

I know the image isn't fantastic quality. These studded heels are only available online and although they are a bit pricey and over the £50.00 mark, I do not know how you are going to say no!! At £79.99  you can rock them with a red lacey dress with leather jacket, accesorise with a gold belt and you have a simple, rockstar going out outfit. Be prepared for the compliments to your feet though.

Another online exclusive.

                    These boots remind me of a pair very similar to Ted Bakers pair last year. Although these cost £37.99 they still look just as expensive and excellent quality of those reliable ones Ted created. Well Done New Look! Why not team these boots with a warm duffle coat, thick cable knit jumper and some straight cut jeans. Very understated but this outfit will take you right through the winter with those toes warm and dry! Also available in Grey and Red beautiful!

Hello Beauties!

Do you want to add some height to your outfit? Do you like the comfort of a wedge heel? Do you like the look of a sheep skin looking lining? YES! Well have a look at these bad boys. Did I mention they are £27.99. When you want to add a little extra to your outfit with something different, besides those boring knee high heeled boots that you have re-heeled every year, these sheep looking lined wedges are perfect! They are in store now. Very soft and will keep you warm on those long walks to Battersea at the weekends or a commute from King's Cross during the week days. Dress them with thick wooly tights, maybe a cute floral dress and a big wooly cardy. Don't forget to add a jacket so you don't freeze out there.






Please take a trip to your closest New Look store OR visit online, I guarntee you will find something you like. These are just some of my favourites hopefully you will find some more. Have fun keeping those feet happy.
