Happy two-three to me!

I'm so oddly happy about being 23! I think it's an awesome number!I celebrated with a teensy weensy get together the night before my actual birth date which I've heard is bad luck. It started off good but the bad luck arrived at 9pm (9PM!!) when a random neighbour by the name of Brent (doesn't that just sound like an asshole's name?) thought it would be okay to barge in my front door and tell us to shut it down. Empty threats were thrown our way......

Trend-to-be: #Ruffs

Ruff collar by Carlo ManziHigh necklines and collar statements have become a fash fave in the last few months. Every second person I walk passed is wearing a button-up shirt with a short necklace sitting tightly under the collar. I think it's only a natural progression for this to soon expand to something a little more dramatic. (Turtle necks! and) Ruffs!I was really inspired by the way 10 Men magazine incorporated this piece into their editorial...

Birthday wishlist item #4: MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

Don't you hate it when your boyfriend steals your makeup?A horrifying thought for the girls maybe but it's not nearly as bad as seeing a product all used up. I can live without the bronzers and the blushers and the bright blue lipstick, but I need this mineral powder. It's the perfect once-over for special occasions.MAC Mineralize Skinfinish: Medium-D...

No Doubt "Push And Shove" video

From start to finish, it's the same sort of mucking about as seen in the last video "Settle Down", but you know what? Gwen's hotter and the song's better. The black and white takes me back to the "Hella Good" days. So I'm gonna keep on danci...

Birthday wishlist item #3: Cologne

Nothing worse than running on purely deodorant. That and hair product are the only signature scent I have going on at the moment. It's been like this since I ran out of Hugo Boss Bottled Night a few months ago. I feel like I'm in a tacky Lynx ad - sans the Lynx, because I'm a Rexona boy and there is no bloody Lynx effect!That reminds me of a funny story. When I got my first ever fragrance, my boyfriend at the time asked to use some. Why you would...

Birthday wishlist item #1: Willhelm trainers

Bernhard Willhelm x Camper To&ether trainersThe sight of these makes me foam at the mouth! I want to chuck them on with a pair of sequined hot pants and dance down the street! Admittedly, they fit with the whole "sneans" trend I despise but they definately make more a statement. While Nike's scream typical, these babies holla casual crayness!I've noticed Solestruck are only stocking the plain black at the moment, which I would happily settle...

Prada "Real Fantasies"

Prada have just released the lookbook for their Fall/Winter season, featuring models wearing their most stand out designs. Trippy, future vibes!Graphically speaking, everyone seems to be obsessed with this other-worldly, cut-and-paste imagery. Off the top of my head I can think of recent campaigns by Roberto Piqueras and BCALLA. I guess with the success of instagram and it's awful low-res pictures, it's almost like this is the design community's...

MFW: Prada

Prada Spring/Summer 2013Traditional Asian dress meets the paintings of a four year old girl? Too cute! The childish manner in which the flowers have been printed and scattered is a fresh twist on the floral trend. Also, finally, a collection with a range of footwear that I'm head over heels in love with! Platforms that look like cakes. I want to devour each and every flower. At first glance you won't have noticed but those "socks" are not only part...

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it though, does it? Mahone Fever...Layby anyone? I'll come and pick that up in a couple of years! Kidding!Sixteen-year-old Austin's music video for his new single "Say Somethin" is like Justin Bieber's "Baby" meets Chris Brown's "Run It" on the set of High School Musical. Girls be goin' cr...

Roberto Piqueras Spring/Summer 2013 lookbookThe always adventurous, Spanish King of Tumblr fashionz, put on a show at the British Museum in London. The invitations read, “We don’t have any permissions to do that. Don’t ask to the museum staff." I love it! And how cute is that Engrish?

Christina Aguilera "Your Body" teaser

Originally the song was called "My Body" but she couldn't find any words that rhymed with elephant.Okay that's a slight over-exaggeration. Let's just give the girl a chance - I mean, it is normally the seventh album that is the best! Her competitors have even given her a head start in the race to claim the next number one hit. Nicki lent her a pink wig, Ke$ha handed over her unwashed fishnets and from Britney, she got her post-baby bod.My advice...

LFW: Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013This season focuses on creating an elliptical silhouette, featuring a lot of cropped jackets and rounded capes. The crinkles in this metallic range remind me of cheap wrapping paper. The stubborn kind that doesn't want to follow the blade of your scissors. Ugh. That squealing sound it makes when you screw it up into a ball. But with all this said, I do like the look of it. I also like the look of this orange raincoat...

What I (dreamt I) wore today

Today's look is grocery shop chic (apologies for the mild tongue twister there)! Isn't interesting how a visit to the supermarket can serve as more of a social gathering than a Saturday night out? All you want to wear are your pyjamas but you never know who you might bump into. I think it's safe to say we all put a little bit of effort into how we look before popping down to Countdown to collect our stamps.This look is 'jamy comfy but gives you a...

While the boyfriend's away...

When most people leave their counterparts at home for the day, they normally return to find the entire internet history deleted or a curious amount of pop ups filling the screen.This is what I found left open. Should I be worried? I can do a hella sexy robot on the D-flo but my ro-bot-ic voice needs a little work....

Parris Goebel feat. ReQuest "Proudly Odd"

Parris Goebel. Polka dots and jelly sandals - YES PLEASE!I've come to realise that all dance videos have long introductions before there's any real dancing to be seen. Most times it's really a waste of 20 seconds but in this case, it's cleverly executed to build suspense. It also allows me to really "feel" the song. How Mai-FM-88.6-presenter do I sound right now? I'm really feeling that song, man!Parris makes sitting on a couch look cool, oddly enough...
