I'm wishing on a star ...

Is it Wednesday already? The week is just flying by and I haven't even been shopping yet! Well, no time like the present - here's my wish list for today:

First on my list is this divine Emilio Pucci dress. Known for their iconic patterns, this paneled mini is hot off the runway. Team with black opaques and black killer-heel ankle boots. The dress does all the talking, so limited, if any accessories and a small clutch - perfect for cocktail cool.

(£2,565 - Emilio Pucci - net-a-porter.com)

Love, love, love River Island's new 'Your Couture' range - each shoe is a work of art alone. These leather feathered ankle boots are just fabulous and so designer-like.

(£140 - River Island)

Taking inspiration from the X Factor girls, I am majorly into the whole glitter eye-shadow look. Being this seasons hottest colour, I have picked out a deep purple. Team with lashings of mascara and black eyeliner for a rock chick-esque look.

(£12 - MAC)

Lola Rose has become a house-hold name all over the world. Her jewellery is just divine and every woman should possess at least one key piece. For me it is this oversized cocktail ring, with a natural blue semi precious gem in the centre.

(£69 reduced from £115 - Lola Rose - ASOS.com)

Each night this week, I have religiously watched at least three episodes of Gossip Girl. I can't help but pine over their fabulous wardrobes, no to mention their colourful macs. This yellow duffle coat is a wardrobe must-have.

(£52 reduced form £65 - Dorothy Perkins)

How adorable is this suitcase? Viktor and Rolf have brought fashion to Samsonite luggage and whether it is over night or for a long weekend, you will be one stylish traveller.

(£520 - Viktor & Rolf - brownsfashion.com)

So, that's my list - now it's your turn!

Fashion Rivals

Calling all those that possess a little bit of Fashion Rivalry!

Do you wish your mum dressed more like a 'mum' and less like yourself? Perhaps your sister is always copying your style and even though it was flattering at first, now it's just annoying. Maybe you are the one who wishes your daughter would step out of that reliable tracksuit and begin to dress a little more glamorous ... If any of these sound familiar then keep reading.

BBC3 are looking for Mums, Daughters, Sisters and possibly work colleagues or friends that would relish the opportunity to makeover their rival. Both contestants will be stood in front of a Fashion Jury, who will ultimately decide which person will benefit from their new look the most. That person will then be whisked away and be given the ultimate make-over, which will be later revealed to their rival.

Sound interesting? Get in touch to find out more ...

CALLING ALL MUMS & DAUGHTERS

BBC THREE are searching for the Mums of today who are younger, hipper, more attractive and independent than ever before!

Do you and your daughter share clothes?

Do people often mistake you for sisters?

Are people amazed at your real age?

If this sounds like you or your mum and you would like the opportunity for a fun and fabulous makeover, then please get in touch.

Chocolate Bunnys and Designer Dresses

I want you all to try and picture this ...

A scarf has been designed, but not just any scarf, a designer scarf, but not just any designer scarf,a limited edition scarf and further to that, a limited edition - designer scarf - which was given away for FREE!

Over a two day period pop-up boutiques would open at different times throughout the day. Once you had found out the store that would open next, you had to virtually queue and would only be given a scarf if you got to the counter for the duration of time that store stayed open.

Sounds pretty straight forward, right? WRONG!

Not only did you not know which store opened at what time, but you had to keep refreshing the Facebook Caramel Nibbles page for clues as to what link to go to, whilst keeping your eyes glued to the screen in order to see when the 'closed' sign on the pop-up boutique would turn to 'open'. Then, when it did eventually open, you had to type quicker than you have ever typed before and input your full name, DOB and email address and click enter. Your position in the queue could range from 1 to 900, depending on how quick you got to the store when it first opened and how quickly you inputted your details.

Have I lost you? Let me explain ...

Cadbury's have snapped up one of the UK's hottest designers, Giles Deacon, who has created a bespoke Nibbles dress for the Cadbury's Bunny (jealous? us? no!) Luckily, he has also gone on to create a limited edition scarf, which can be redeemed (or bought at a later date) by us humans, of which all proceeds go to Breast Cancer.

Cadbury's Dairy Milk launched (for the first time ever) a digital pop-up store, where the real fashion-forward folk out there were able to get their hands on this fabulous scarf.

Last Thursday and Friday, Nibbles Boutiques were popping up all over the Internet and were only open for a limited time only. With this particular item, it was all about being in the right place at the right time and let me tell you, the paws were out and this was no easy task.

Unfortunately I did not manage to get my virtual hands on one of these delicious scarfs, but I will certainly be popping (or should I say, hopping?!) down to John Lewis, where they will be on sale for the first few weeks of November.

Get your fashionable paws on one too ladies, as this inspired printed scarf will attract compliments from all over and lets be honest, as fun as this 'rabbit' race experience was, I think I prefer to queue normally!

Enjoy the blue sky all - anyone else craving chocolate?

A Little Treat (or Trick)

Tonight Mathew I am going to be ... Ginger Spice, no wait, Ugly Betty, nope hang on a minute ... Scooby doo?!

I think the fact that the official date for Halloween is not until Saturday night and yet my firends and I have managed to attend two fancy-dress parties already, deserves a wee little mention, no?!

Wednesday night a crowd of us gathered for pre-party drinks. I mingled with the likes of Tweetie Bird, Robin and The Little Mermaid (felt like Hollywood!) Shortly after, we rocked out to Cuckoo, which is known for putting on the best Halloween party of the year. Living up to their reputation, the whole club was decorated with fab decor; pumpkins, cobwebs, spiders, you name it, they had it. We partied the night away and a few cranberry vodkas later, I took my geeky self home - fab fab night!

Thursday night a different crowd gathered for pre-party drinks but this time I mingled with the likes of Posh, Baby and Scary. That's right, together we were The Spice Girls (minus sporty!) Having not quite mastered our costumes, we renamed ourselves The Spice Girls - Bo Selecta Style. After many giggles and wig re-arranging, we headed to Strawberry Moon where a private party was taking place. We danced, we zig-a-zig-a'd and as the early hours drew close and we all realised we had to be up for work the next day, we took our tired feet home - once again, a very fab and fun night!

All in all it has been a fab few days and I am looking forward to the celebrations on Saturday Night - where the real partying starts!

Happy Halloween All

Here Comes The Boys ...

It's about time the boys got a mention - don't you think?!

Be it your father, your bf, the guy you want to be your bf or simply a friend - I have compiled a list of ten pressies that will guarantee to get you best daughter/ gf/ friend award (or at least an even more fabulous present back!)

So I heard it through the grapevine that the new 'it' accessory for men, are socks. Lucky for us there are a huge collection of colour block Ralph Lauren socks to choose from.

(£10/12 - Ralph Lauren - ASOS.com)

It's cosy, it's trendy and it will be perfect for the winter months ahead. You can't go wrong with this Red Herring jumper.

(£35 - Red Herring - Debenhams)

Victoria Beckham once said 'the only place she buys her gloves are at Dents' and I couldn't agree more. He will be one happy chappy with this fab pair.

(£52 - Dents - House Of Fraser)

I love Paul Smith designs; they are quirky and classic all at the same time. This colourful scarf will brighten up the dullest of days.

(£60 - Paul Smith - coggles.com)

You can't go wrong with a music voucher; you give, he buys and everyone is happy.

(Depends how much you want to spend!)

Hermes is one of my favourite designers, not just because I dream about a Birkin bag every single day but because their prints are iconic. The men's ties come in an array of colours and designs, there will be one to suit any style.

(£95+ - Hermes - Liberty)

Ladies, our hearts may skip a beat every time we get given that little green box, but let me tell you, the guys love it too! These Tiffany cuff links turn an every day item in to a piece of wearable art.

(£165 - Tiffany)

Once again Paul Smith wins with his signature forest print. In my opinion, he is the king of wash bags.

(£80 - Paul Smith - my-wardrobe.com)

A consistently popular present is this oak natural leather wallet by Mulberry; classic and practical.

(£130 - Mulberry)

This modern style money clip makes a great gift. You could even get it engraved for a more intimate feel.

(£29 - Ernest Jones)

So, there you have it - ten perfect pressies that ensure everyone is happy. Now all you have to do ladies, is start compiling your gift list!

Have a fab day

xoxo
