Heyyyy party people! It's party season!! Ha I'm in such a good mood :) .. It's getting closer to the end of the year and you know what that means!! No not Christmas .. The other one .. New Years Eve. Everyone's biggest worry is what to wear! Well here I am .. Not super woman but something close haha. It seems that sequins are in this season.. To be frank I didn't even notice till The KK launched in DP .. Turns out they did do their research lol. My apologies. I decided to rewatch a few shows to see if I was wrong. When I think sequins I think dress up so I went to my FAVOURITE FAVOURITE designers to see their fall/ autumn/ winter collections. They had amazing dresses as always and of course I'm talking about Elie Saab and Badgely(&) Mischka. Their dresses had sequins and I think sequin is Abosolutely perfect for a New Year's Eve outfit.. I wouldn't go as far as we did last year by buying a whole bunch of sequin clothes. It's trending but it wasn't that popular on the catwalk. Here's a few dresses from the collections and I tried to find a few cheap sequin dresses you could wear for New Year's Eve. These dresses are just mere examples. Boo hoo, Missguided and Very have sequin dresses for a lot cheaper and a variety of styles!!

Winter Coats!!| Fashion 2012| AW12
Most people hate winter cos you don't get to show off your fashion but I beg to differ!! Anyways that's not what this post is about lol. Everyone needs their statement winter coat cos it's the one thing you'll be wearing the most throughout the whole season. Here's a quick little guide to what coats you should be looking for when you look for you seasonal piece. I know leather is in but guys PLEASE put your leather biker jackets away! The ones with the studs/ spikes and even the fur! I know they are hot but they are SOOOO last year! *rolls eyes* lol .. (smile)
- LEATHER SLEEVES / LEATHER PANELED JACKET/ COAT
Like I said. Leather is in! lol It's been for over a year now (yaay). I'm loving the leather paneled sleeves. They are so chic and elegant. This style took over the catwalks for AW12! Sooooo many shops have these jackets so you wont have to worry about where to find them. (From Left- catwalk inspiration- Philip Lim, High Street -Zara £119).

Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins
If any of you follow me on Instagram then you would've seen the post I posted MONTHS ago about the KK for DP. I was so excited. Been waiting for this for about 4/5 months lol. Well it launched this morning and I was quick to go on the website and see what they had given us. To be honest I'm disappointed. The clothes are absolutely rubbish (sorry). The dresses to be specific look so skimpy, cheap and fresh! Kind of clothes someone who just came from Congo would wear. I'm not impressed at all. The rest of the collection is so mediocre. It's just what any other high street shop has already. Nothing new nothing exciting. The prices however are very reasonable so I really can not complain on that. The only thing that I liked was the bags and purses. They look slightly trendy. Nevertheless they are so common. They reminded me of River Island! They look so similar. Actually exactly the same.. Just different brands. Bottom line; not impressed! I feel somewhat insulted. As if they didn't do their fashion research beforehand.
Oh I have not posted anything in a few months! Been so busy bear with us lol

TREND REPORT!! AW12| Fashion 2012| Fashion Week
Fall is fast approaching and I started researching! Ha! I don't wanna pack stuff I won't wear to Uni tbh. I just chose the TOP trends that I noticed were reoccurring in most shows.
Colours: Red, Berry && Purple
Look out for berry colours such as maroon and wine. Purple is also a colour pop for next season. (Designers from left; Jason Wu, DKNY & L'Wren Scott)

Marilyn 50th Anniversary
In loving memory of Marilyn Monroe I realise I'm late but she is one of my fashion icons. I thought I would use Marilyn to channel an outfit, I think peplum tops extenuate the hips and make the waist appear slimmer.
Metallic Madness!
So I was browsing in H&M and found these metallic jeans on sale for £7! I would be a fool to leave them! Here's two simple outfits on the jeans. The first outfit I wore with just a tee and a blazer. Casual but nice. The second was before I had my hair done and I wore with a back peplum top.

Kanye West!!
I must say I was completely shocked by Kanye West's fall 12 collection! There are some outfits that I loved. I really wasn't expecting that judging on his last ss12 collection. However I'm still rather disappointed that he stayed in the same lane with his style. A repeat of leather and fur and the same weirdly spiral shoes. I think he needs to explore a bit more as a fashion designer but I did like some of the pieces in the aw12 collection. The shows was quite exciting as it finished with speeding go-carts in the dark! 
McQueen visors!!
Ok so it's not very often that catwalk stuff go for sale in stores. Thank God for high street replicas! These Alexander McQueen glasses (visors) as seen in the AW12/13 catwalk will be for sale! The theme for this show was futuristic and I presume they are UV protected. They are also crystal clear (complete opposite to how the appear to be). I personally wouldn't buy them but for some these will be in McQueen stores and the website for £270. Fear not those who think that's pricey.. Topshop will be selling replicas too.
