Undercover for a while.



Sorry for not updating a in a while. I have been in the best attire lately since I haven't been anywhere other than home and work. I didn't think my tank and shorts it's-hot-and-I'm-home uniform or my all black work uniform would excite you.

Saying that, I did go out to an exhibition with my fashionista bitch, Derya and her sister Merve ( I love you guys!) If you're in London, before September 27th, then go and see the 'Undercover' Exhibition at the Fashion & Textiles Museum. The exhibition presents a visual demonstration of how female underwear has evolved as a women's role in society changed and encompasses the changing trends from the 'flatten it' to the 'push it up' to the 'let it all hang out'?! It contains some of the most amazing pieces with a wide range of private and public collections from the who's who of underwear such as Marks & Spencers, Triumph, La Perla, Christian Dior, Wonderbra and Myla to name a few.

It goes from risque to the radical, pieces include an original Merry Widow corset inspired by Lana Turner in the film of the same name, renowned burlesque artiste Immodesty Blaize's corset and more.

Please, please go and see it! Let these photos tempt you!




I also finally got to see Coco avant Chanel with my girls and Genevieve (Genebebbe in french!) Amazing of course! Went to see the film in RichMix just at the end of Brick Lane. It's really a cool place to see a film. There is a little bar and cafe aswell with free wifi! Shame a didn't have my mac on me!

Sadly, I didn't take a picture of my outfit, but I will next time.

All my time at home makes me do one thing. Lists. I have a slight addiction to making lists, I know really weird! This is about the 100th time, okay 20th time I have made a list of items I have to buy before I go back to university. THIS IS MY FINAL LIST, I hope.

- silence+noise extended bra.
- knitwear; long cardigans; big knits; crop knit tops; KNITS KNITS KNITS!
- tshirt with shoulder pads (grey and white one).
- long vest and tanks (because I wore mine to death!).
- boots ;ankle and lace ups.
- red lipstick.
- two pairs of jeans.
- black skinny trousers.
- oxfords; black,navy & grey.
- black flats, for work.
- black semi formal dress (seriously do I need another black dress?!).
- a big bag for university.
- bike! and bike satchel! ebay bidding!
- chanel quilted bag. (i have it in my dreams already.)
- another winter coat
- new sunglasses. (since boyfriend broke mine!)


Oh, all I can do is write lists and wish.

Hair Muse.


Recently, I have been so bored with my hair! I actually can't do anything new with it! Dyeing it can not been done since my hair just falls out to this dye it still is! I tried to do cute curls to it, the fluff on my hair isn't long enough. Weave is not applicable in the summer months, I am sorry I don't know how these girls do a full head weave in the summer sun, it's like wearing a wooly hat 24/7! So there is only one other resort, some sort of hair cut with some extensions in!

I've been looking for a while! For some reason my boyfriend and friends seem to think I look like Rihanna, I know...where?! Anyways, at first Rhianna's cuts were practical then everyone started doing the same hair style! I'm sorry I am not a sheep and I don't want to look everyone with short hair!

For ages I have wanted a fringe or bang, whatever you want to call it, but the front of my hair is too short for the heavy bang that I wanted! I would have to get a piece put in the front for a fringe! DISASTER! Visions coming to my head of black girls with hair pieces all silky and beautiful and the the afroness waving out from the sides and the back, and tracks smiling at me right, left and center! I know I will have to pay big money to get none of the above! Now the hair cut! Gosh, the hair cut. 

Tao Okamoto, my hair muse. It's a rebellious, modern take on a sixties look. It can look edgy and angelic and I will be able to look after it! I love the fact it cover you eyebrows and is such a blunt cut, plus it means you don't have to do your eyebrows in the morning if you're rushing!

What you think? Shall I or not?

Popcorn & Coco.

This is a fashion must see! I am so glad there is finally a release date. 

Coco avant Chanel, it sounds so much better in its original French title, tells the story of fashion icon Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel from before her success. A headstrong orphan who went from cabaret singer to humble seamstress. She embarks on an extraordinary journey before becoming true fashion royality. 

I don't want to tell you too much, even though the majority of you will already know the story. It's out in cinemas on July 31st, so get all you fashion lovers out wearing your black and white chanel inspires outfits, pearls and sunglasses (please remember to take them off before the film starts!) and watch what is truly on of the greatest moments in fashion history!

If that isn't enough fashion for you! Keep a look out for documovie 'The September Issue'. Documentary filmmaker R.J. Cutler followed Anna Wintour and her Vogue team for nine months as they put together the 2007 September issue.With seemingly unreal access, Cutler followed Anna and her team to Fashion Weeks around the world, to photo shoots, to visits with designers like Vera Wang andNicolas Ghesquière. But mostly, they were in the Vogue offices. In this two-minute taste of the movie, we see scenes of Anna working in her office with her team.

Until the movies are out we are just going to have to watch the trailers over and over again.
