Clothes to Die For: Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

October 31, 2011

1

Halloween is upon us so it is only fitting to pay tribute to some of our favourite TV goths, past and present. For each character I’ve also picked out some appropriate music to get you in the Halloween mood. Hopefully it’ll also help if you’re looking for some last-minute costume ideas!

Feast Your Eyes on Halloween Goodies at Fortnum and Mason

October 23, 2011

“Fillet of fenny snake, In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adders’ fork, and blind-worms sting, Lizards’s leg, and howlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”   - The Witches’ spell, Macbeth   Whilst I […]

The Corpse Bride: Vera Wang Spring Summer 2012 Bridal Collection

October 20, 2011

Last Sunday, Vera Wang unveiled (pun intended) her Spring Summer 2012 collection at New York Bridal Fashion Week and left everyone buzzing about her black wedding gowns. Personally, I looove these gowns! The masses of black netting and the models’ pallid faces and mussed up hair are gorgeous, and especially perfect for anyone getting married […]

I’m a Versace Girl, in a Versace World: Versace for H&M Collaboration

October 20, 2011

After weeks of dropping tantalising images, today we were finally given the first peak at the Versace for H&M lookbook! The collection is focused around dresses and the Versace archives. And given that the archetypal Versace girl looks a lot like Barbie, it’s unsurprising that most of the dresses looked like they had been designed with Barbie […]

Chic Reads: Fashion and Fantasy

October 14, 2011

Oscar Wilde once said, “You can never be overdressed or overeducated”  and the same can be said for your library. Fashion, like reading, has the power to transport you to a faraway land (whether that’s Paris or Neverland) and simultaneously make you feel like a kid again. So when you’re feeling low, where better to […]

Time to Let Down Your Hair! Disney’s Rapunzel Princess Parade

October 12, 2011

A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to attend Disney’s Princess Parade to officially welcome Rapunzel from Tangled to the Disney Princess family. Despite being an October weekend in London, it was the most gloriously sunny day and there were hundreds of people gathered in Kensington Palace Gardens, where the parade took place, wearing […]

Nightmare Before Halloween: Tim Burton Retrospective

October 12, 2011

Recently when I was in LA I had the chance to visit the Tim Burton Retrospective at LACMA. I grew up with Tim Burton movies, from Michael Keaton’s Batman to Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas, so I was really excited for this exhibition. The entrance to the exhibit is this awesome open mouth with the red […]

Lion King 3D: Review

October 9, 2011

This evening I went see The Lion King 3D . I haven’t seen the movie in years but I have vivid memories of it as a child and especially the McDonalds toys that were released in conjunction with the film (in fact, I still have them!). I’ve been excited for this release ever since I saw […]

Turn My SDCC Swag On

October 5, 2011

5

I’m not even going to think about how long ago San Diego Comic Con 2011 was at this point but since I still haven’t even framed my Tangled cell from SDCC 2010 I think it’s safe to say that it takes me a while to recover from the Con. Better late than never though, right?! […]
