I MET GRACE JONES LAST NIGHT!

Well, I'm exhausted with only 2 hours sleep but it was well worth it to meet the very fabulous, Grace Jones last night! Pretty Disturbia, sponsored her after party at MAYA night club in London and it was a fabulous night! I definately made an impression on her after knocking a champagne glass at her feet as I knocked the table with my bag. I am a clumsy oaf indeed. She then shoo-ed me away from her and re-fused to talk to me, wit her 2 bouncers giving me evil stares! I later saw her pointing at me telling someone about the incident so I went over to apologise, explained how I was a fashion designer who sponsored her after show party, and told her what a big fan of hers I was as I gave her a goodie bag of Pretty Disturbia clothing, for which was very grateful indeed and asked for my number! I asked if I could politely have one picture taken with her, to which she agreed but only for one with a light flash.... I got a blurred one atleast! She really was every bit quirky and fabulous in real life as I thought she would be!

Anywho, I wore this to go out in, as a punky glam look, though I do I think I may have crossed over into drag queen/ Hooker territory instead! The dress is the sexy body con Pretty Disturbia number in black £42.99, which I teamed with our armlets also £17.99, with fishnet tights and my Carvella studded leather boots £385 to contrast with some cheap gold earrings from the market for £2!

SO there you have it... the outfit I wore when I got shoo-ed away by Grace Jones. Not too shabby indeed.

EBAY BARGAINS & MOODY FACES!

I look moody as hell on the picture, and I really was'nt feeling it! haha.. O well. It seems I have another thing for animal print again, thus I wear it again- 2 days running!

The top, which you can hardly see is from Topshop and was about £30, I added a white leather belt from River island, with a tutu skirt from Topshop, patterned tights and this new jacket which I bought from Ebay for just £15 and it is one I always wanted from Morgan when I worked there as a teenager but could'nt afford it at £80! I'm so pleased I finally own one- although my expression hardly reflects that!! Anywho, I wore my black rose ring and some over the knee black boots to finish off the outfit!

Now... Time to pack, I'm off to London tonight to (hopefully) meet Grace Jones. TRES excited.

BACK TO BLACK & ANIMAL PRINT!

Last night I wore this little black outfit to my Dads 60th Birthday meal! You know your truly old when your dad gets a free bus pass... doh.

Anywho, I wore this gorgeous Pencil skirt which I've had years from Jane Norman, teamed with a black vest from Morgan (£19.99- bought back in the day!) with my fave, funky Morgan leather look jacket (which was £80.00)

I accessorised with a few touches of animal print- in the form of this vintage belt which was just 20p on a car boot sale- talk about cheap! I added this simple vintage brown neck scarf, some pointy animal print boots from Office and this DKNY bag which I heart... and of course a little touch of red on the lips and nails! ;)

VINTAGE BRACES & BIG FACE PRINTS!

Well I'm very excited!!! Pretty Disturbia is going to be sponsoring the Grace Jones Afterparty in London this coming Thursday!!! I'm a big fan of hers anyway, so am tres excited about it all! What an opportunity!....

Anywho, I wore this little outfit on Friday to travel to Edinburgh in. It's an eclectic mis-mash of colours and print and consists of an animal print skirt from Primark, which I got for £5 in a Barnardos charity shop -(Just as much as it was new probably!!) with some high shine leggings, the Pretty Disturbia, hollie face print tee in coral £27.99, with a little blue shrug which I bought from London, Portabello market and some olive green braces which were £3 from Blue rinse vintage in Manchester. Sometimes its great putting unusual colour combinations together and seeing if it works, whether it does or not- its up to you! ;)

BLACK AND BLUE BODY CON BRIGHTS!

I hope you had a fab weekend? I indeed had an amazing one! I had a lovely time in Edinburgh and even bought a gorgeous new car!!! Well, when I say its new- its a classic and rare bright red XJRS Jaguar with cream leather interior and walnut dash, and its totally beautiful....

Anywho, I think I've been wearing red so much due to my thoughts on the car so I wore this oober different blue ensemble to break the habit! It consists of the Pretty Disturbia dip dye leggings £22.99, with the matching body con drips dress £43.99, with a jacket that unbelievably matched perfectly, and was originally from Primark a few years ago.

I kept it simple with so much bright blue by leaving accessories to a minimal with a small band ring, and my over the knee black boots. Its not often I wear head to toe royal blue, but what the heck, its nice to be bold and bright sometimes...

SCARLET RED AGAIN & TOPS AS SKIRTS!

Well, I'm completely nervous as I type as I'm going to be on a question panel this evening for an MFN Making it: Fashion design event! I'm not great in front of groups of people and I blush a lot... Not a good combination!

So, yesterday I wore this unusual ensemble to a fabulous burlesque show which consists of a skirt, which is in fact a long top, a black vest which was a dress, and a corset, which is underwear but I wore out anyway!

I could'nt really tell you how much I paid for any of it but I know the corset is Marks and Spencers!

I accessorised with red lippy and some lovely Tiffany beads for a touch of designer style with a mad, mis match of clothes and popped on some high shine patent boots.

Right, time to dash- heres hoping I don't keep up the red theme and blush all through tonights event! eeek.

Wish me luck...

WAISTCOATS, RED WHITE & SILVER!

Well, its been a busy day today as I'm finishing work at a normal-ish time for once to go to Liverpool for a burlesque show at The Martini Lounge tonight! I can't wait!....

Anywho, I wore this yesterday which consist of a simple red body con dress from Primark £6, with a white leather belt from River Island, and a pinstripe waistcoat (which I don't even remember buying!) Teamed with big red 80's style earrings- £1 from Claires accessories, My big black rose ring from Portabello road market, simple black leggings and some small funky silver shoes from Office!

Now, wheres that sexy red underwear corset I will dare to wear out tonight as a top?....

I wore this little outfit on Saturday to go for cheese and pate lunch at Dukes 92 and onto the Opera house to see a tres fabulous play on at the moment- Hitchcocks, 39 steps! It really is a must see, very funny and cleverly done! ;)

Anywho... this outfit consists of a little strappy dress from Topshop which I picked up from a car boot sale for just £3 with a vintage patent bag which was £1 and unusual black and gold necklace for £1.50- both from tres fabulous car boot sales, and much loved by me!

The ensemble consists of black tights and boots with the Pretty Disturbia body con eyeball print vest dress for £34.99- one of our best sellers! I popped on a vintage gold choker from ebay, my chunky rose ring and my hair in a side ponytail and smartened it all up with this fabulous blazer with big shoulders from Primark for £22- I love it!

I popped on this tatty gold rope belt which was £1 from a car boot sale, and my fave black long suede boots.

Well, I hope you're having a dandy day and enjoying the sunshine, even if you are cooped inside and sat at a desk! Is'nt it just fabulous to have the light evenings and bright sun shining again after such a long miserable winter?...

Yesterday, I wore this bright little outfit. It seems I am inspired to wear lots of colour now the sun is shining! I love to wear Royal Blue and it's set to be big for SS10 which is why I designed mix and match pieces using the same fabrics for the Pretty Disturbia Spring collection. As left, the vest is a Pretty Disturbia classic, costs £24.99 and is really unusual with buttons and ribbons to decorate. I teamed it with matching royal blue leggings £22.99. I popped with it, the Pretty Disturbia black satin gather skirt £49.99 and a plum shrug which I bought for £10 off Portabello road market in London. I accessorized simply with my Dolce & Gabbana watch and some over the knee black suede boots which I've had years and.. a viola, another big colourful collaboration.

RAINBOW SPLASHES & SHRUGS!

I hope you had a super dandy weekend? I had a lovely sunshine filled one in Surrey which was just delightful! It really feels like Spring has now finally sprung with summer not far behind!

This outfit reflects the summery brightness I was feeling yesterday, with a slight hint of fear it might snow again at any point (thus the big winter boots- just in case!)

The halterneck is a classic pink number from Karen Millen for £39.99, teamed with a colourful splash print netted skirt from primark for £15, (purchased last summer). I popped on a turqouise shrug to match from the MFN Designer sample sale for £20 and a chunky necklace again from the sale for just £4. This is a good combination of designer items with discount pieces! How I do love a bargain....

Well, I'm recovering from another night out last night in old man pubs and a meal in The Modern with another fun evening planned tonight for a secret Taio Cruz gig! I've been out so much since getting back from Egypt, I need another week away to recover...

Now what to wear tonight, I feel like donning something summery as the sun is shining in good ol' Manchester. It may be about time I packed up my fur coat and snow boots after all, What do you think?

MOODY LOOKS, SPARKLE & SHOULDERS!

Happy hump day all, I don't know about you but I'm still in holiday mode after Easter...doh, I'm just not ready to go back to work, which is'nt good considering the list a mile long screaming to be worked on.
