The end of the Noughties

As the Noughties come to an end, I have been reading various magazines/newspapers and listening to radio shows that are talking about their 'best of' lists from the Noughties. Some I agree with, some I definitely don't and some are reminding me of things or people I had forgotten about. I am going to do a few of my own, starting with 

MY TOP 10 ALBUMS FROM THE NOUGHTIES
The more I thought about this, the more I changed my mind of what order they should be. Each has been my favorite and on repeat at one point in my life,so I left them in no order.










Even now I feel like I have missed some off the list so it might be changed at a later stage. Also doing this list has made me realise that most of my all time favorite albums are from the 90s and older.

I have got 'Original Pirate Material' on repeat again, I forgot how good it is!

These balloons are made from metallic fabric and stuffed with kapok meaning they will never be de-flated. Horrah, Viva le balloon!

RIP Daul Kim







I am overwhelmed by the news of Daul Kim's death. I dressed her at the Louise Gray AW08 show and she was unbelievable. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

YES MUM!


I have been home for the weekend, only to find my Mum standing in these Alexander Wang boots. I was overwhelmed with jealousy at first, but then I realised that these babies will soon be handed down to me....and even though my clown feet are bigger than hers, I have tested them out and I reckon after some wear I could comfortably fit in them (even if a few toes have to be removed).

SAVE LUELLA


Somebody please....

BlingBath is here...











The first few garms from the 90s inspired trend Disco BlingBath have hit down at Topshop. Get down there and support the cause (the cause being myself, Lauran and Maddie). There are still some great pieces yet to come in, so watch this space.
