My Vintage Day in the Angel ♥

Hey Guys,

Today I went to the Angel in London with my mate Ellie and we went round all the vintage shops, it was tres chic! After walking up and down the shops for hours, Lunch at Starbucks and FRAE frozen yogurt I am incredibly tired but never too much to blog for you all.

I wore  a mix of preppy and sporty chic:

^Top: NEW LOOK, Skirt: MISS SELFRIDGE, Trainers: PRIMARK^

I got a really pretty vintage dress for summer and a cool polka dot shirt that I will post when I sort an outfit out for them ☺

Anyway till next time,

Lots of love,

Happy 1st Birthday my little blog!!! :')

Hey guys,

Today, exactly a year ago I had a brain-wave to start a little blog about fashion. I never thought I would be able to keep it up and sitting here a year later I feel very proud. I never thought I would get any readers and I now have 28 followers (via both bloglovin' and the blogger subscription) and 13 fashionable people following my twitter. Even though this to many may not seem very impressive - to me it is immensely amazing and a huge confidence boost. When life was rough or I was low, I turned to my blog and the fashion connected with it and it bought me pure happiness. To celebrate this momentous day (as promised on twitter) I said I would write about a day in the life of a fashionista. However, I was at school today so my day was not that interesting so I thought I would take each one of my subjects and write something fashionable related to it, so here we go:

Maths: All outfits are maths really! You get the staple item, add some fab accesories, a good pair of shoes and some sweet extras i.e. a button shirt over a tee. It's a precise equation that all women do every morning (and sometimes evening), 365 days a year. When you make a positive choice it can make all the issues in your day seem insignificant because you feel confident in yourself. Also note there is never a negative choice in fashion. You may not like what the person is wearing but they picked it to express themselves, however shocking that expression may be.

Geography: Well Without the world's geography we would not have New York Fashion Week, London or Paris. No one would be inspired by jetting to the Eiffel Tower or the Statue Of Liberty, there would be no chance of anyone ever being able to find a country as a muse. How boring would fashion be then? Also different countries create fashion and then it is distributed globally. All part of the cycle of the global fashionable economy.

French: Now this one is easy. J'adore la mode! Paris est Parfait! From Dior to Chanel. Coco to Lagerfeld. All the greatest fashion families are based in Paris, it is the heart that beats all around the world. They have changed the way we dress for hundreds of years - and show no sign of slowing.

I.T: This is how I communicate with you through my blog, we follow each other on bloglovin' etc., companies like Vogue used the Iphone App's to post news to all of us, and every web page with images of the clothes we love! Also where would us fashionista's be without Ebay and Online Shopping - I would actually not of got into fashion at all.

Biology: Without biology we would not be male or female so therefore fashion would not exist and we would still be basic single celled organisms with no fashion sense - What an awful life!

To wrap up this Blogs Birthday I will show you some Pictures I took today that are quiet cool:

^My beautiful Cat Woozle ♥ 9yrs old^


^My cute hamster Millie ♥  - 2 years, 2 months and 9 days old^

I love blogging and will see you guys soon with my next post,

To all my followers I love you,

Valentines With a Simple Heart...

Hey Guys,

Valentines is all about being with the one you love right? Well for me it was just me and my family - So I left my post till the day after out of respect for the love.

Lush certainly helped me with this day by providing the two nicest presents a single girl could get:

^The Ex Factor^ The bomb to get rid of that annoying Ex! Smells of Vanilla and is totally cute - good for a distress ♥

^Slightly Damaged Frog Prince^ - He is supposed to have another eye but he is sooo cute. Kiss him and be assured of a fabulous smelling bath - the jasmin and rose will blow you away ♥

^My love of jewellery^ Juicy Charm Bracelet, Accessorise 'I love you' Necklace and Primark LOVE ♥
 
Untill the day I get roses from a guy, Valentines will stay the banoffee and hot chocolate day!

Luv you guys,

Spring Time In London Town!

Hey fashionistas,

According to thoes God's that dictate what clothes we wear and when - It's Spring, although as I found out today,spring can mean anything from sun and blue skies to 6 million mile an hour winds and rain :/ So choosing what to wear is pointless because you still need a black lether bomber jacket and scarf just to keep warm!
Today I wore a Denim Shirt over my fave panda tee-shirt and some blue denim leggings (+ scarf and bomber jacket) - a far cry from the sleeveless vests and shorts fashion rules would tell us it's perfect time to wear!

Hopefully soon I will be able to go out more weather appropriate, but for now it's still too cold.

Anyway wherever you are - Be yourself because No one else will!

Lots of Luv,

LUSH, Fashion + Music: Space Girl to Space Cowboy

Hey guys,

This post was an inspiration so I will break with my usual LUSH on Monday to bring you a combination I think will work, LUSH, music and fashion.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of bathing in a LUSH bomb call Space Girl (see below) which smelt of pamar violets (sweets that I ♥) and sparkled like mini stars and galaxies - a fabulous relaxing bath for even the most hectic of days.

On the fashion front  Giorgio Armani Prive has a bit of a rep for thinking out of this world if you want to view the images see here http://www.harpersbazaar.com/

And the song I quoted is Space Cowboy by Jamiroquai if you want to check it out I recommend you do!
 
So guys I hope you enjoyed my mega combination post - I definitely did,
 
Love LDN TEENAGE FASHIONISTA xox

LUSH ON MONDAY! Final Christmas Post :'(

Hey guys,

My last post on the long lost christmas products :( If you are, like me holding on to the last little bombs, show gels and scents then this is for you!

My last Lush present I will present to you is:

SNOW FAIRY! <3

In this box you get:

^Snow Fairy^ The goddess of all shower gels and one of the nicest sweet smells of all Lush :)



^Angel's Delight^ A pink sparkly Star that shines and smells amazing - you may get the theme of this gift :)

^Shimmy Shimmy^ This massage bar is STAYING after Christmas and I love the sweet-almost-coconut smell and the glitter it covers you in (think twilight vampire sparkle) I love it soo much I own two!

So thats the box but before I say bye to Christmas there is one Bubble bar I have left behind for a good reason because it's sister is a Lush regular:

^This is Candy-Cane or after Christmas it will go back to Creamy Candy^ This is my ultimate bubble bar as it smells like cotton candy and you can make it last up to 4 baths (its also the cheapest bubble bar) The bubbles are natural and only need heat to be activated - who wants a cold bath anyway? 
 
My next Lush will be as good but on my favourite Lush scent for a change,
 
Thanks for following me,

La moda di Prima Ballerina (the fashion of the premiere female dancer)

Ciao fashionistas,

This Friday marks the opening of Black Swan. Leading lady, Natalie Portman sheds her good girl image in this gritty Ballet Thriller. She is one of the most beautiful actresses in modern times and this film shows her at her best.

This film has created a huge amount of hype and fashion has trailed this film as you would expect. If this has inspired you to pick up some ballet beautiful pieces then do before it’s too late.


Luv you guys soo much,

LUSH on Monday!

Hey guys,

Life has been hard recently and hence I have increased my LUSH use by a lot! My next Lush review is on the Christmas gift I received: the Matryoshka.

This gift was wrapped as a Russian Doll and contained Three sections: 

^Snow White ballistic & limited edition soap (the red and green coloured soap forming the outsides)^
This ballistic smells like apple blossom and is amazing for a cute foam bath. The soap is still as good-smelling and amazing when you need to chill out.

^Cinders bath ballistic^ This is my ultimate Christmas ballistic - the spicy smell, the crackling popin' candy and the cute warming colour ♥ simply fab! ♥

Hope you enjoyed my LUSH review :)

New Year! New Blog Trend! Fresh Handmade Cosmetics!

Happy New Year Followers,

So I have a not-so-secret passion and it's the beauty of LUSH handmade Cosmetics. Now I know this is a fashion blog but I think good cosmetics are fashionable too and to keep your body 'Classy and Fabulous' you need to use good products and I swear by Lush.

Since I was born my mother lovingly bathed me with the sweet smells of Lush and ever since its been my addiction, growing with age. So now, alongside my fashion, I will review Lush products on a Monday.

Today I will start by reviewing one of the sadly gone but amazing Christmas Prezzies - Christmas Allsorts!


This Box contained the three bath ballistics (bombs) that you see here and I took individual images so I could review them in turn:


^Satsumo Santa ^ - Beautiful smell, very citrus and lush! Bright red colour but that's not a problem!
Soft water a delight to bath in!



^Li'l Lush Pud^ - Really does smell like Xmas pudding, very seasonally spicy!
Kinda creamy brown colour water which is intriguing! Again the water is lovely, especially if it's a cold day!



^The BÓ§Ó§g^  Smells of Christmas herbs - sounds strange but it's amazing!
Water you would assume to be white but there are coloured parts in the back which release a rainbow into the bath and the water ends up a purple colour! Is a lovely bath for a party day!

I hope you enjoyed my Lush debut!

Lots of sweet smelling Luv,
