MCQUEEN STYLE WEAPON

                                                                           

On a trip to New York I saw this amazing Alexander McQueen bag which was beautifully displayed  on 5th Avenue .
 Surrounded by miniature bust heads of musicians  and spotlighted on a sheet of music this is truly a work of art.


I love the fact that it is crafted so beautifully but then has a hard gold knuckle duster handle .........I think its amazing and definitely influencing this seasons jewellery as many rings are now in knuckle duster style covering two fingers and making a statement.

COMICS ARE BACK

I

Geek chic is back this season,  which means we should be hiding away under our duvets and reading  comic books through large black rimmed glasses!
Personally I'm not a comic person but  I'm defo loving these illustrations featured on 'But your like really pretty.com on Flikr.
Its a comic strip updated every Wednesday relating to celebrity culture and I love it! Take a look, they are really funny!

WE SALUTE YOU MISS ATHERTON

I want to congratulate Gemma Atherton for embracing her womanly figure and looking a shapely size 12 on the set of her new film, Tamara Drewe!
 I know people are afraid to comment on weight but my opinion is that everyone looks alot better when they've shed a few pounds!
 I usually think it makes you look younger and fresher, but knowing when to stop is important because unnaturally skinny skeletal figures are disgusting and hard to maintain and usually result in side affects such as, loss of hair, bad breath, sensitivity to the cold, yellow teeth and spots.
So don't starve yourself to be a bald, smelly, freezing cold, spotty skeleton-what is attractive about that? Eat healthily, move more and don't be scared of the odd fat burger or cream cake . The key is to eat in moderation and to feel healthy and remember, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
I'm always a Chicken Balti with a garlic nan on a Sunday night and I'm not going to apologise for it!

BLUE BLOODED STYLE!

Its all about being British this Autumn!Tweed suits, quilted hunter jackets, plaid skirts, trilby hats and moccasins are really on trend  this season and I'm loving the classic understated look!
Inject abit of 'Patriotism in your home too, by picking up some royal memorabilia from Sunday markets or carboot sales  and purchase some union jack cushions which are perfect for a cosy British look! Don't spend a fortune on over priced cushions for an Autumn fad, you can get similar styles from Primark for half of the price, and they are in the shops now!
Invest in a big teapot this month, ready for the winter,drink tea out of your coronation mug and wear your moccasins,while watching 'Brief Encounter' and  you've achieved the Brit chic look for this season...... enjoy!!
