Make Up & Kell..

As some of you may know - I am a fan of MTV's 'The City'. I think it is an amazing insight into the world of fashion - okay maybe not the world of fashion, but it is my reality fix. You love Whitney, but can't stand Olivia, yet you love both their fashion styles. Never the less one person you really truly respect is Kelly Cutrone. Originally us reality show lovers met her on the MTV's 'The Hills' way back when Miss LC was still in the show, but that's another story.


Kelly Cutrone has become not just known to those within the fashion industry, but also to those not within and believe me she is truly an amazing woman. She has her own Public Relations company Peoples Revolution and recently her own real reality show "Kell On Earth', as well as being a single mother to her beautiful daughter. A must read for ladies and gents who want an insight into not just fashion, but life, you must read her New York Times best seller 'If You Have To Cry Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Taught You'. It is a very interesting journey Ms.Cutrone has been on, ups and downs. She has given me inspiration to get off my ass and don't follow the route that society has put me on. Her book has made me think twice about my decisions and why I am doing it. As some of you may known about my small career goal change, her book helped me on with that. 


I had the lucky honor to meet her during her short visit to London. She tweeted that she was going to be in London for one day and doing a book signing at Illamasqua, an amazing make up brand which celebrates being different and a statement of self-ownership and self expression. Of course I was down there faster than you know.

She gave a talk of thanks for all coming down and you could tell she really appreciated people coming. The fact that all the books there sold out within 30 minutes tells you something. A surreal experience meeting her, at one point I nearly had to go outside and cry!


Illamasqua are an amazing brand and they put the fun back into make up. As woman (and some men) we forget how fun it is to dress up and being someone or something else for a day, a night or a week. Something that in today's society we have all forgotten, until Halloween comes round. If I had more time I would of love to have a play round in their make up, I may just pop back there soon. Just so you know they are on Beak Street, London W1 just at the end of Carnaby Street.


All in all, girls and guys read this book - you may not like all of it, but you will love some of it, but it will make you think. 


I just wanted to make you guys aware that all the proceeds from the event went to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. In 2007, 20 year old Sophie and her boyfriend were kicked, stamped on and left unconscious for being on thing - looking different. Sadly, Sophie died later due to her injuries. 


In tribute to Sophie, her family made ' The Sophie Lancaster Foundation' which helped young people to be aware of the tolerance to violence against uniqueness. Illamasqua have created the Sophie Eye Pencil and Sophie Wristband which is available from their online store. Make a donation guys!

Burrito & Ballet

Forget Friday nights doing the nightclubs, the classiest of ladies hang out at Ballet. No, this isn't some new nightclub called 'Ballet', but really Friday nights at Frame in Shoreditch, where you can dance the night away like you're in the Nutcracker - well you can attempt at least. Frame invited us bloggers for a little dance and a little DIY.


Sadly, I got lost and missed the dance class - maybe a good thing, I may of injured a few girls if I was there. I got there just in time to customise my very own ballet pumps! There were so many trimmings, buttons and beads that really I didn't know where to start. Shini from Park & Cube made a cute couple, and Kit from StyleSlicker made an amazing piece! After all the hard work, I directed the girls to my favourite Brick Lane restaurant, Loco Mojitos, which went down well with all the ladies. 


Thank you for Shini of Park & Cube for the invite and to Geneva of A Pair and a Spare, Kit of Style Slicker, Lucy of Snippets of Shiny Thoughts, Carrie of Wish Wish Wish, Andrea and Pip from Robinson Pfeffer and finally Jo from Frame for an amazing Mexican and Ballet filled evening.


Dinner soon girls, just don't forget your ballet pumps! Also, Thanks to Shini for the first and last image, true photographer right there!

A sneaky look at the Eun Jeong Spring Summer 2011 Lookbook. The photographer is the amazing Gabi Torres, who also took the photographs for the show. The model Sooanne Berner from D1 Models is fantastic, she's the fashion editor at her university and a darling young lady. At 5'9 she constantly has to lean down to hug me or for me to dress her! 


It's nice to have models and photographers are great to work with - no drama, no divas!

I am absolutely loving her whole look. I wish my hair flicked like that in the wind... I think I have found my new hairstyle - after all that hair growing.

In the economic climate everyone hasn't got the funds they usually to be getting new pieces every month, that pay check has to stretch for at least two months for you to save up and get something worthwhile, a staple piece of good quality.

I bought this particular coral dress from Topshop last summer to take on my holiday to Tunisia with the boyfriend. Yes, it is a dress I posted it last summer - take a look! 

In the climate it's time to reinvent those clothes in the wardrobe into something new!

Just to let you guys know, I have a giveaway coming up courtesy of AOFM. 

Fashion TV x AOFM Fashion Week Party

Last week to end London Fashion Week with a bang, I was invited by the amazing Sandra Cooke to the Fashion TV and Academy of Freelance Make Up (AOFM) Fashion Week Party. I RSVP'ed and invited my sidekick Rachel along with me. The event was also to celebrate F Vodka being launched into the UK and the AOFM book.

We was greeted by some interesting ladies in cirque de fashion costumes and some 'hunky' guys with the AOFM logo painted on them. It was an opportunity to make new contacts and to dance the night away, in the most fashionable way possible - with a glass of champagne in our hand.

A performance for Escala made the night even more special - seriously those girls are really amazing, they make you want to pick up a violin! There was another artist who performed with some interesting song lyrics, but I have forgotten her name - maybe it is best I did. 

We made some contacts from Fashion TV, AOFM and other places. Fashion Week is like another world, really for once I felt like just dabbled into the industry. Hopefully one day they will know my name...
