POP UP BOUTIQUE AND PRETTY DISTURBIA FLORALS!

I wore this last Thursday for the exclusive launch of THE PARTY BOUTIQUE pop up Shop in Manchester which showcases designs from lots of up and coming Manchester designers. It was a great launch night with cocktails, champers, canapes and goodie bags, and many a glamorous guest! 
I wore my black velvet leggings with my high heel witchy boots and this Pretty Disturbia blurred floral body con dress £49.99, teamed with a knitted red shrug and matching red chunky belt. I accessorised with a big black sequin ring from a Manchester fashion network sample sale in the traingle. The Pop up shop is open every day except Christmas day throughout the festive period and is situated on the 1st floor, suite 26- Barton Arcade ( just off Deansgate/ St Annes square) in Manchester city centre, please pop by and take a look!

GREEN, ORANGE AND A DASH OF CREAM!

Happy Friday peeps! It's that very fabulous friday, fun time again, and yet again I'm looking forward to a relaxing rest... which consists of a 30th, a family meal out and a fancy dress party! No rest for the wicked hey! As it is, I've been out twice this week. Last night of which was a charity fashion show, hosted by Emile Heskey's wife. It was a fab night of cocktails, celebs and fashion!...

So, I wore this little ensemble yesterday when I styled a fashion shoot at Cheetham school of music Library. The outfit consists of an orange polo neck from H&M, matching mini skirt from Dorothy Perkins, cream leggings, a vintage neck scarf, a classic black belt and this sheer top from H&M which I got from a car boot sales for £2!

I know cream, orange and green are'nt a usual colour combination but I felt summery so what the heck! why not indeed.... ;)

KAREN MILLEN, COCKTAILS & WITCHY BOOTS!

Well, I had a lovely evening last night at an exclusive Karen Millen fashion show and cocktail night in Manchester, where Nick Ede From Project Catwalk gave styling tips for the season and I managed to chat make up to Lisa Eldridge who even commented on my eyemake up as looking nice! ....A compliment indeed, from a make up artist for the stars!

I had the most delicious mint, wine and Disaronno cocktail, I'd have to say its the nicest cocktail I've ever had! Disaronno has now, been newly added to my (ever growing) Christmas list!

I wore this ensemble which consists of a classic black polo neck and leggings, my much love All Saints handkerchief hem skirt £70, Pretty Disturbia sheer, satin binding jacket £74.99, teamed with my high heel witchy boots and pearls from Marks and Spencers £15. The boots seemed a good idea at the time but after being stood up all evening and then out until 12 around Manchester, Maybe slightly smaller heels would have been a more practical idea!....

FESTIVE SPARKLE AND DIP DYE EFFECTS!

Well I hope you had a fine relaxing weekend? I worked at the MFN Sample Sale on Saturday but had a great time doing it, as always!

Yesterday was a day of watching Sex & the City and eating Bacon butties in bed, as well as Christmas shopping and I had a warming dose of Harry Ramsdens fish and chips to keep me going! it was delicious.... I really must start back on that exercise regime to cancel out my piggish eating next week!....

I wore this sparkly dress from Topshop, with my vintage velvet belt from Rags to Bitches, wet look leggings, a Pretty Disturbia long sleeve dip dye top for £34.99 and my tan leather cowboy boots. I accessorised with a stunning vintage 1950's necklace which I got from a car boot sale in Clitheroe for £8! Talking of car boot sales, I did try and go to my usual one yesterday morning and it had stopped for Christmas!! It just was'nt the same, not picking up some second hand bargains in the early hours of a cold brisk Sunday morning....

HOT PINK, NECK BOWS & SPLATTER!

A happy weekend eve peeps! I hope you all have lovely things planned this fine weekend? and unlike me you're working it, which is'nt ideal! I'm doing the MFN Sample sale again at the Triangle selling Pretty Disturbia pre-production samples for as little as £10, as doing it last week was both enjoyable and profitable, and it had the additional bonus of clearing some sample space in our eclectic, cramped office!

Yesterdays outfit, consists of one of my fave shrug cardigans in hot pink from Portabello road Market, London for £10!

A mutli coloured skirt from Primark, £15, wet look leggings and a Pretty Disturbia shirt with plum satin neck bow £34.99..... Which is also something you can buy a sample of on Saturday for just £10! A classic item, which never dates...

We hope to see you there ;) x

DIP DYE & LACE FACES!

Happy Friday/ Bonfire boxing day!! I hope you had a good fireworks full evening last night? Is it just me or was it not really celebrated this year? I know I live in the centre of Manchester but there was no fireworks to be seen from my balcony and we did'nt wake up to the usual morning-after smog?! Maybe everyone's is cost cutting with the recession or like me they spent too much on celebrating Halloween instead, which in my opinion is much more fun!

Anyway, I wore this yesterday which consists of a grey polo neck top, Pretty Disturbia lace and face print vest (£22.99) a Black skirt sample and some Pretty Disturbia dip dye stripe leggings (£24.99) with my over the knee boots and handmade designer bag by Amanda O'Neill (£180).

Right, I best dash off to prepare for the Manchester Fashion Network sale on tomorrow at The Triangle. Try and be there if you can for the chance to buy Pretty Disturbia samples costing just £10/£15!!! Less than half the RRP!......

SAMPLE SALES & VINTAGE TOUCHES!

Well I've been mad busy this week preparing and clearing out Pretty Disturbia samples for the Manchester Fashion network Sample sale, which were doing this Saturday coming from 11-5pm, at the Triangle! Try and pop by if you can, we have pre-production samples at just £10 each, a lot of which are one off pieces, so theres many bargains to be had!...

I wore this outfit yesterday, which consists of a vintage M&S green polo neck, with (ironically) a dress I got from another MFN sample sale for just £10! It has a missing button which I disguised easily with one of my favourite vintage waspie belts!

I wore short green boots and high shine black leggings for an altogether punky look. Ohh, and in true northern style, the fabulous Manchester rain made my hair oober frizzy to finish the crazed look off nicely....

HOT PINK TUTU'S AND BOWS!

Well, last night I wen't round to my parents house for dinner and we ate something called fat, hairy pig sausage... it was quite delicious, and I'm not even making it up! My Dad is Hungarian so I've grown up on Schnitzel, Gherkins and Goulash! Mangalica is a delicacy in Hungary, so we had it with crusty bread, picked sauerkraut, gherkins and emmental cheese, followed by homemade soup and Hungarian pork and rice. It was so delicious, even at 9am, I'm hungry for more...

Anywho, I wore this on Saturday to go to Matt and Phred's Jazz club, which consists of a black polo neck (Primark-£3.99), a vintage pink neck scarf which I got for 20p, rouched legggings and this fabulous Tutu which was a present, bought from an Independant designer from Devon. It combines my love for hot pink, tutu's and lace, all in one!

The bag is beautifully Handmade by a designer called Amanda O'Neill and cost £180. I get compliments for it wherever I go! I accessorised with big gold clip ons and my old faithful suede boots, which I must look at replacing at some point soon, but for now I can't bear to part with them.....

STUDS, SLASHES AND DRIPS!

Well, last night I had an interview for the second heat of a competition at The (very fabulous) General Store in Manchester to potentially have Pretty Disturbia sold in the directional and stylish shop over Christmas, including PR and marketing support, and the opportunity to feature in an exclusive Fashion Show in November.

I love nothing more than to see my designs being strutted down a catwalk, there really is nothing like the amazing high you get from seeing the collection come to life under the spotlight. So fingers crossed peeps....

As it was a Pretty Disturbia day yesterday, I wore our best selling black body con drips dress which is hand dyed and only £42.99 from the online store. In addition to that, I teamed it with a chain belt worn as a necklace, my stunning italian studded and tassle designer boots which cost £250 and the Pretty Disturbia satin mesh and binding jacket which is £74.99 (and has only just been added to the website, this morning). All in all I felt smart yet punky which sums up the versatility of Pretty Disturbia and how it can really be dress up or down to suit any occassion....

BODY CON GATHERS!

Happy Friday Peeps! That time again hey!!! I had such a good time last night at the Manchester Fashion Network event, I'm actually still a bit drunk. Maybe it was the red wine... the white wine... and the cocktails that did it! I spent most of the evening talking to the fabulous, Clint Boon which was delightful, and I found out he wen't to my school- Cardinal Langley in Middleton. Small world hey?

Anywho, I wore this gorgeous body con gather dress, which is part of the Pretty Disturbia AW collection, its been a best seller for wholesale so far so we will sure it will do extremely well in retail. It will cost a mere £49.99, and will be available from the online store very soon! It's perfect for Christmas and New year parties! I teamed it with 2 snake necklaces from London, my over the knee, black suede boots and some big silver stud earrings from Peacocks for £2.

Well, I hope you all have a tres fabulous weekend, I'm very much looking forward to 2 days of relaxing, eating and sleeping, (once I've sobered up)....

VINTAGE, CHECK AND VELVET!

I hope you're having a lovely weekend eve! I'm tres excited for another fabulous 2 days off !! Tonight I'm off out to a Manchester Fashion Network event so looking forward to that also, despite the fact I can't decide what to wear! At the last event they had, I made minimal effort and a photo of me ended up in Drapers....eek.

I wore this outfit yesterday, and although the mac is lovely, my gorgeous purple vintage dress is hidden! It was only £2 from a car boot sale, and has a rar-ra hem, I teamed it with a red vintage belt from rags to bitches for £8 and this cheap but stylish Mac from Primark, which I think is oober Audrey Hepburn style. Although I don't ordinarily like checks, this is classic in monochrome. I teamed it with black leggings and these beautiful purple satin peep toe shoes which I wore as a bridesmaid last year. They are really comfortable considering how high the heels are. Purple is such a great winter colour....
