Prom Hair Inspiration

I've never really considered this too much before, as I ended up not going to my school prom. It was cancelled, then on again, then cancelled, then on again... You get the jist. My sister's school prom is coming up in July, and she's been in a bit of a pickle with how to wear her hair. She doesnt want it all up, but is wearing a strapless dress so needs it down, but she also doesnt just want it down and curly as she wears it like that quite often.

Anyways, I thought I'd have a look around and see what's out there. I'm not sure when prom season actually is in America, but I guess this could be helpful for some Brit-prom goers. (I'm not sure where else in the world they have school proms?)




Half up/half down?


Don't cringe my dears - crimping is hot on the runways for S/S 09. Try crimping random sections, or an updo as seen at the Dior Couture show.



Simple, classic curls will always look glamorous.


Never underestimate the importance of accessories! If you're doing your hair yourself, and are wearing an understated outfit, take note from the Luella, Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton shows and liven up your look with some pretty hair accessories.


Of course these can be your inspiration for any formal event you're going to, not neccessarily prom. If youre doing your own hair, make sure you get some practice so you know you can get it right, saving hour-before-event stress. If youre getting it done at the hairdressers, maybe take a picture and discuss what you want before you book your appointment to make sure they can do that for you, and if you can afford it maybe even do a practice run with them.

I hope this has helped all you princesses! Go wow them all x

Prada Spring/Summer '09 Campaigns

I am just dying for this whole collection. Sleek yet casual? Perfectly polished but a little bit messy and thrown together?
Miuccia Prada has a habit of putting me under some sort of spell. She's always up there with the best. If only I could get away with wearing a 'bra' as a top around here...

Hmm, I actually like Karlie and Sasha a lot, but not when they equal this... haha

Pictures from Paris

Please excuse my lame photographics skills. I guess that's what you get with a journalism student! Here are some of my favourite snaps from my trip to Paris last week.













I'm dying to see the Coco Chanel movie.

I'm having trouble finding when it's released here in the UK, but lucky Parisians can set their sights tomorrow.

Some photographs to make you smile?

Because bar sunshine, only my mum seems capable of that right now for me. Pfft. Boys.
Anyways, there are a lot of pictures I've collected over the years, probably all from Foto Decadent, that make me smile inside. I feel I should share these, going along with the beautiful weather we've been having... Chins up!






















Now I just need a barbeque and I'm set.

Oh and that body ^ for when I hit the beach in Florida in the Summer, please?

Paris Je T'aime

I'm going to Paris for two days next week :D

I went last year for the day, but we were in exhibitions all day so I didn't get a chance to explore.

If anyone can think of any must visit places then please enlighten me :) I want to pack as much of the city in on this little trip as I can!

I'll make sure I get plenty of good pictures to share with you all as well.

Peaches & Cream

Two major colour trends that are unavoidable this season are Orange and Nude. There are many variations, from burnt orange to coral, peach to beige, cream to stone, and thankfully the ever wonderful British high-street has caught onto this trend so we can all invest in our summer wardrobes without paying silly prices.
I've picked out some of my favourite affordable finds...


1 - Asos - £30

2 - Topshop - £15

3 - KG by Kurt Geiger - £55

4 - Topshop - £60

5 - American Apparel - £32

6 - Urban Outfitters - £85


On another note, how fab is this ring?!

BLING!

Grab it from Miss Selfridge for £10 before they all go!
