MIKIMOTO PEARLS

noreply@blogger.com (aisha) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 11:35:00 +0000

i was asked to do a feature on Mikimoto pearls a while back and im only really getting the chance to do it now! Mikimoto pears are stunning, and im not really a fan of pearls but i love there stuff,i think if you wear pearls they have to be made in a subtle and elegant way i also think the smaller the pear the nicer it looks.Any ways ive got a few favorites that they sell and you can check the rest out by clicking here. Mikimoto pears are one of the best pearls you can get all of their pieces use pears of grade A.

i got these from zara in Paris i almost regret getting them for the price they where..and also because my right foot doest seem to be very comfortable in them and they give my Achilles heel a really bad ache..but i guess pain is beauty right?

lord know i hate the cold..but fashion makes me love winter.. i love giant scarfs and cable knitted garments..i love thick woolly tights and long warm coats..i love anything that can keep me warm during winter..i love the whole layered look which goes on pretty much every winter but i never do it i always want to try it but just never do..i think if i do i just might look like a mess or like joey from friends when he piles on a bunch of clothes.. anyways i have a few inspirations and i will try it out this winter..and put a picture up..also im going to try and get pictures from my 5 day trip to Paris..

Peace and love

Alexander McQueen ss10 collection had really blown me away.. i love the garments and the prints on them and i really like how he has a theme and sticks to it through the whole collection he doest just randomly change to another..if that even makes any sense?..what actually blew me away where the HEELS i have never ever seen anything like them before they are amazing and look impossible to walk in..i was so eager to see the models walking in them i watched the show and some of them can barely walk without looking like they will topple...i do think it is slightly unfair to have to have them walk in them but pain is beauty after all..

cool as ice.

noreply@blogger.com (aisha) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 18:08:00 +0000

Gatwick Fashion Week

noreply@blogger.com (aisha) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:21:00 +0000

i got an e-mail ages ago asking me to do a post on Gatwick fashion week and i can finally do it now i have the time and everything i need.I was also sent some questions to interview Kirsty Dury one of the stylists at the show and didn't get chance to get my answers back from Gok as he was busy.

heres a lil info on kirsty:

Kirsty Drury is a renowned fashion stylist who has worked on a number of high profile campaigns and has recently collaborated with Gok Wan on his Fashion Fix show on Channel 4. Kirsty has built up a prolific celebrity portfolio over the years, styling Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer, Cat Deeley, Myleene Klass and Rachel Stevens to name but a few. She has also joined forces with a handful of photographers, including Rankin and David Scheinmann, as well as working on a host of commercials for leading consumer brands.

and heres the interview:

When did you know you wanted to be a stylist? And how did you get to where you are now?

I studied fashion design at University and when I graduated my tutor got me a placement at GQ and I loved it. After GQ I decided to be a stylist and I was lucky enough to become the fashion editor of Mixmag. I developed my styling over the next six years and then became a music stylist - so I got to style for video shoots and things like that. Then I met Gok and worked with him on Fashion Fix and the rest is history!

What 3 words would you use to describe your style?

Colourful, quirky and relaxed.

When styling a celebrity do you ever add aspects of your own style to them?

Absolutely! They have chosen me to be their stylist because they like my style, as they would have seen it on my website or in my portfolio.

What are your top 4 styling tips?

1. Don't follow fashion to the letter but work with what suits your body and shape

2. Always check your rear view in the mirror before you leave the house

3. Go shopping on your own because otherwise you'll be influenced by friends and you won't follow your own style

I am 16 and fashion is my life. I would to be a stylist, what advice would you give to someone like me?

Get some work experience. Get in touch with all of the magazines and don't be afraid to pester people, it shows you're keen!

When styling the show did you have a theme in mind?

The theme was 'holiday looks' for both day and night as we were holding it in Gatwick.

Who or what influences you when it comes to styling?

I'm influenced by the catwalk shows, and also by a feeling - like seeing something that’s new or unusual that inspires me. A lot of times it's even fashion on the street.

What styling tips can you give to women that can be used all year round?

Spend money on the basics and use cheap accessories to keep the look up to date.

How does it feel when you hold your own catwalk show?

It's not my first, although it is my first one at Gatwick, but it's very exciting and great to be working with Gok again. I've been very surprised about how fashion forward the clothes available at the airport are and I wish I was off on holiday so I could take advantage of the savings.

winter with TOPSHOP

noreply@blogger.com (aisha) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:15:00 +0000

well well well..took me long enough and thanks to nitrolicious.com i am finally able to show you guys what topshop has to offer us this winter..i really like the look of a few garments but i find with topshop once you buy it or try it on it looses its novelty and instantly becomes something you question, should i buy it or not? or do i really need this? when at first glance you thought
I JUST HAVE TO HAVE THIS.
however the heels on the other hand i know what i want and i know ill still want it even after i buy it,im looking forward to my payday because theres a lot im going to be wanting this winter.
anyways i present to you topshops winter collection 09/10

BLUMARINE 09.10

noreply@blogger.com (aisha) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 04:00:00 +0000

i dunno i consider bluemarine to be like a "clasy(er)" version of balmain.. i mean don't get me wrong we all love balmain don't we? but like i find some stuff to be a tad bit trashy wait scratch that tacky?..and i say that whilst holding my breath because i know how much of a balmain craze there is at the moment and how much people just love it..and i too like the garments just not all of it.. anyways i like bluemarine and ill be honest im just really finding out about it..though alot of the stuff is similar to balmain like the heels and the dresses ..but whatever right everyone craves the craze.
