REVIEW: London fashion weekend

I'm writing this half asleep in my unbelievably messy room. Floordrobe has never been quite so fitting after Friday nights frantic major "I have no clothes/I look terrible/ I hate my lifeeeeeeee" affair. The day started at six AM with a fringe that refused to lie flat on my face and a closed first class lounge. There were various embarrassing moments to do with the tube, my auntie shouted "THE MAP IS LIKE MONOPOLY!" - que practically the whole world turn round to look at the dozy scousers & I asked the man if we could get to Huston from Covent Garden, we shall say no more.


The fashion show was fabulousssss darhling, apart from the skinniest model I have ever seen. She took thin to a whole new level - her head was actually bigger then her body. Show bags included mouthwash - what i'd always wanted! and no outfit post is happening anytime soon - my camera's dead.

Tomorrow ish I will blog again revealing more delights of see little trip,
until then

yes alan - Pray for fashion.

FASHION & STYLE: Blighty.

Gh my Burberry. you've did it well, of course you always do. Monochrome is a faithful look to choose,  we fellow Brits salute you. Now where on earth is that trench coat of mine?

FASHION & STYLE: Alice in Temperland.

The Temperly London show didn't go without its Hiccups. Twitter was rife with rumours that because of the delay at the show which took place at the British Museum several influential Fashion figures actually walked out before Alice Temperly's designs took to the catwalk. Hilary Alexander of the Telegraph later explained that because of the 45 minute wait she simply went out side for a cigarette. Though many agree the collection marking 10 years of Temperly London was indeed worth the wait.

How gorgeous is this dress please? everything about it is fabulous, from the fish tale shape to the intricate lace details. The black leather gloves, red lips and pulled back hair are perfect additions to the masterpiece.

The good old tux. I love the waistline and the draping of the jacket.

                     There's a new famous musicians daughter on the modelling scene. Forget Pixie & Peaches Geldof, bye Zoe Kravitz. Its Annie Lennox's daughter, Tali.

                                                This little beauty is my favourite, what a perfect A/W piece.

FASHION & STYLE: how do you call a superhero for its tea? Dinner dinner dinner dinner BATMAN!

Everyone loves a bit of an androgynous take on clothing. A boyfriend blazer, unfitted white shirt and jeans rolled up to the ankles are well and good, but as they say - its the shoes that make the man. (Or woman!)

How do you combine this with a new season trend I hear you cry...

well, these Jill Sander brogues of course. Colour blocking couldn't easier then these lace up lovelies!

FASHION/BEAUTY: As beautiful as Coco

                                              Some things are just iconic.

.

Nothing ever stays the same & eventually everything you once knew will change. But simple beauty seems to last. You can create a grand sculptural masterpiece if you want, find an edge that's never been tried out before and yeah - it might sell. But will it be beautiful?

What's the point of Primark constantly churning out cheap clothes if none of them have been carefully thought through,  there the type of clothes that are made cheap and sold cheaper in order for the company to make a profit, They don't care how the end user looks and feels . But spraying this perfume makes you feel like a princess, its that little bit of everyday luxury.

Something like Chanel No.5 is beautiful. Its simple and elegant. clocks will tick and people will change. But you've always got this as a constant beauty to take comfort in - Fashion's about making things better.

 "What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No.5, of course" - Marilyn Monroe

RELIGION:Are you listening?

Most things tend to work both ways. If you expect a camera to take photographs you have to supply the batteries and look after it to insure its not broken. No Ipod can provide musical comfort if its not charged. You have to be ready to put work in to get the reward out of it. If you want a high grade then you have to revise.

This is the same with our relationship with God. We can't expect God to guide us if we aren't listening and when we cry out asking why we can't see him in our lives, we need realise - maybe its because were not offering him the oppurtunity. We push God away and from personal experiences I know there are plenty of times when I don't want to listen. Attitudes become similar to the 'i know better approach' even though we really don't.

If we are praying for something, we have to spend just as much time listening. Would you be a good friend if all you did was talk? you need to hear the advice. See, Jesus wants to be a friend to you. To listen to all your struggles, to pick you up when you fall and to provide a shelter when things just get too much. Its a relationship -  not a religion.
