The First of Two Mlle Giveaways...!

For those of you that don't know 'Covert Candy' is a great online swapping community - great for those that want something new but can't afford it! And don't we all have some unused clothes shoved in the back of our wardrobe...?! For those who don't know I write a lot about eco-fashion & the importance of the environment...so I feel this is a great idea! Plus: it's free!

It's a really new site but already has 4,000 members...just think of the options.

There's a huge mix of clothing on there...from H&M & Topshop to some more individual brands!

Check it out here: 'vintage clothes online'

Now for the COMPETITION...!

The winner will get to pick any piece of clothing from the CovertCandy online store.

Just make sure you're following me & leave a comment on this post as to why you want to win.

The winner will be chosen on Wednesday by random.

[[Next Competition to come shortly will be a £25 Topshop voucher! !]]

Getting The Swing of This Outfit Thing...

...So I'm trying to make a real effort with my blog as I already write for magazines but like having my own outlet too. Plus I love reading all your lovely comments and talking to other bloggers!

So here we go - posting more. And here's an outfit post - lots more of these in the future!

So after my beautiful friend Caroline bought me this skirt for my birthday I couldn't not wear it! I love the colour so much, and get this...it's from a vintage shop in London and it's made from a RECYCLED jumper! (for those of you who don't know, I love stuff like this...!)

My jacket is one of my favourite pieces too - it came from a boutique called 'Dahlia' which was at Clothes Show Live London 2009.

Finally my shoes were bought for me by my lovely boyfriend - New Look.

& the black leggings and strap top are both H&M basics.

I wore this to college yesterday, and the photos are taken in my textiles space ;)

P.s - Watch Material Girl - it's a little cringe but I love it anyway.

BBC1, Thursdays, 8pm.

£49 to spare...?

...on something that most likely won't even last a week. Oh who am I kidding - if I could, I most likely would. What am I talking about? 'Chanel's Non-Permanent Skin Art'! Featured at their Spring/Summer 2010 show, the designs are absolutely exquisite. So much detail. And for one like myself who isn't into permanent tattoos - I can't help but love these transfers! At £49 for a pack of 5 sheets, I don't think I'll be buying them... although 5 sheets = 55 designs.

[MUST keep telling myself NO NO NO].

But er...anyone got a washable body pen? Maybe I'll have a go... ;)

Beautiful birds & Dripping Flowers with the Chanel Logo.

Not an anklet, or a bracelet...a leglet? or a garter?

& The Chanel Logo

They'll be exclusively at Chanel boutiques from March 12th, & the waiting list is now open!

Will you be on it?

[Other designers who rocked the transfer tattoo look included Rodarte - tribal & Jean Paul Gaultier - 'Gaultier' down the arm]

Pretty Presents & A Fab 21st...!

Going back to my birthday - I got some lovely presents. So here's a composition of a few. I think it's quite Chanel-esque :)

Coco Mademoiselle Perfume, New Lace Top from New Look, Clinique Makeup, Gold & Pearl Earrings, Black Fur Cape, MAC foundation, Celia Birtwell foundation brush, New York calender... <3

For my sister's 21st we headed to London: on the train, at dinner - doesn't that cocktail and those amazing puddings look YUM (We went to HAHABar - highly recommended), and outside Wicked - which was absolutely AMAZING. One of the best musicals I've seen, the singing blew me away, and there were plenty of laughs, and tears.

Hope all your 2010's have started off well!

&Thank you to my new followers.

A Birfday.

An 18th. Mine to be exact.

Love her!

Here's me looking a little crazy. We headed off to Revs & Fez afters.

Some things were worked out in my head that night. They'll stay with me now.

2010 is the year for keeping resolutions, and making some changes

NYE. 2010.

So it's a new year.

I had the most epic 5day(ish) celebration for my 18th Birthday (more on that next)

This post is actually about New Years, the next is about my birthday.

Wearing: Bow, Christmas present from Sis. (Accessorize?)
Top, New Look

Resolutions are simple, but will probably expand.
Work harder. Have more fun.

Charity Stuff.
Start running again. I'm doing races with the boyf in memory of a friend who died.

Stick with the trues.

NYE was celebrated with Mike. Letting laterns drift into the sky.
&playing Beatles Rockband. It turns out I might not be such a bad singer after all ;)
Let It Be. Come Together. All You Need Is Love.

Oh & of course my birthday at midnight. That's right, I'm a NYday baby.
