Florida Florida Florida!!

I can't wait to go to Florida!! Exciting stuff.

The only bad thing is we'll be driving for something like 12 hours... Oh yay..

Well I won't have a computer all next week so I will probably not be writing much unfortunately!! I'll be at the beach instead!!

Anyway better go and download music and stuff to make the car journey slightly more bearable!!

Shopping!!

Don't you just LOVE shopping!!!
Here's some of the gorgeous things I've bought recently in american shops!

Underwear from Victoria's Secret (5 for $25)..
Dress, two tops, sunglasses, pyjama shorts, and two pairs of heels ($10 for first, $5 for second!) from Charlotte Russe...
Shorts, tank, top and cardigan from Abercrombie and Fitch..
Cardigan and top from American Eagle...
Leather bag, Levi's and shoes from Tj maxx. That place is great if you want to spend ages looking for things..

I've also had a look in other shops like Wet Seal which I found some cool tops in last year but this year I didn't really like it that much. I also had a look in Old Navy but everything was quite dull and plain. There were a few things that looked pretty nice then I picked them up and there was something there that just made them not quite right.

What do you guys think of all these shops? Any suggestions for other shops to look in? I haven't been in Hollister yet or Forever21 which I'd like to.

I'm also soon going to Florida where I'm told they have good outlet shops. Anyone know if this is true? Sometimes outlet shops are great but often they can just be full of crap that nobody wants!!

GORGEOUS new drinks!!

If you like smoothies then you'll love these new drinks that are coming out this september. Unlike most smoothies which you could just make at home as all they are is pure fruit, these drinks have natural ingredients added to help your skin, concentration, to help you, recover from a hangover and more depending on the individual drink.

They also have amazing unique flavours. They also have a natural ingredient in them that helps fill you up and help you to not snack.

They will firstly be launching into waitrose, then tesco, and will probably filter into Starbucks and more. If you are in the UK you must try them; they're going to be great. I don't know if they are coming into other countries yet but I'm sure they will.

They are called 'Naturally' drinks so look out for them!!!

Gorgeous clothes and designers of the moment..

As it is getting closer and closer to the end of summer, let's have a look at some of the gorgeous styles for the autumn/winter...


I don't have much time to write this but I will do my best!



Michael Kors, Jackie dress Ivory


- Gorgeous shape and style


- An easy look with tights and a fitted coat





Philip Lim, fall collection


- Great combinations, check out the site


- Gorgeous looks with long cardigan (left) and great military style waistcoat (right)




ChloƩ winter accessories (above) (bag in middle seems to have turned greeny when editing! It should be brown. Take a look at the site). ChloƩ have some gorgeous accessories; especially bags!


Sonia Rykiel, Autumn/Winter 2007.


- Amazing bold and unique coats and jackets


- Look for similar eye-catching coats instead of a dull black trench coat. You're coat is often all that is seen in winter due to the cold weather.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Autumn 2007 collection.

My computer seems to be doing something strange to the pictures so it is a bit difficult to see but the thick wooly clothes look great with white wooly tights and a shoulder bag. Warm and gorgeous! Make sure the dress is short to avoid looking swamped in the clothes!

- Try thick white tights with dark clothes; it's a great look

DO's and DON'T's fashion guide!

DO wear shoes that make a statement! Interesting eye-catching shoes (e.g. shoe on left, from Office) or super high shoes (e.g. from Aldo, right) .









DON'T ever ever EVER wear crocs anywhere if there is the slightest chance that someone might see you! I saw some of these dreadful things in the window of a London shop for something like 40 pounds ($80)!! Ridiculous!! Who would do it?! Another one to note is not to bother with dull dolly shoes; EVERYONE has them..






DO mix cheap dresses (e.g. from Primark) with (relatively) expensive accessories.



DON'T show your tummy with short cropped tops. This is NOT fashionable. The only way youn can perhaps do this is if you have a very cute small t-shirt, a VERY flat tummy and nice skinny jeans.



DO wear cute summery dresses (e.g dress to right from Forever21)








DON'T wear plain t-shirts with plain jeans and plain shoes; you look boring! On the other hand don't wear patterns head to toe either.




DO take a look around charity shops and through parents and grandparents old clothes; vintage stuff is great. You can be very successful in finding things like belts and jewellery by doing this. I always get comments on a bunch of my Mum's old belts that I took from her as she was about to throw them out!


DON'T buy anything that everyone has as this does not make you fashionable, it makes you a clone. If you really like something that everyone has, buy something similar with a unique twist.


DO be daring and try wearing things such as high waisted shorts and dungarees that look cool in magazines but you don't see many people wearing. You may start a trend!

DON'T forget about accessories. A pair of cool sunglasses are essential and make you look amazing. Long necklaces with lots of cute detail or something big and bold can make an outfit. Wooden and metallic jewellery looks great.
