London Fashion Weekend

So today my friends and I got the train into central and hit up the London Fashion Weekend event. I was a little apprehensive as I had no idea what to expect, but in the end I had a great time. There were loads of stalls from designers such as House of Harlow 1960, Twenty8twelve, Jaeger, Aqua, amongst many others but I really wasn't in the shopping mood so I ended up people watching for most of the time. There were some really gorgeous guys and girls there today! 
My favourite part of the day was the Catwalk, it was the first time that I have sat and watched a proper catwalk show and oh my was it a great experience! If I could I would do it everyday, it's just so exciting seeing what the designers piece together - clothing, makeup, music, the lot.

Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana is one of my top fashion icons. I just love the woman; I love her hair, I love her face and most of all I love her style! Now I sound like some kind of stalker but after seeing this picture of her can anyone blame me?


She wore this gorgeous ensemble to the Prabal Gurung autumn 2012 show during New York fashion week.

A week in the life of moi

Last weekend my boyfriend came over from Portugal to visit me for a few weeks. I hadn't seen him in over a month so we have decided to make the most of our time together and go out for lots of yummy meals and drinks.

So on Saturday night we hit Gilgamesh in Camden along with my brother and sister-in-law. The food was absolutely amazing, although very pricey - thanks bro ;)

On Sunday we did a bit of shopping and walked around the Oxford Street area and then got the train to Nottingham as I had classes on Monday.

On Valentine's Day we went to a little French restaurant here in Nottingham, the food was lovely and the service was great.

And then Wednesday we went for cocktails with a few of my friends. If any of you are ever in Nottingham, I advise you to go to Tilt bar, it's an amazing cocktail bar and has half price cocktails everyday between 5pm - 7pm!

Here's a few photos of my week:

Rachel McAdams

After seeing pictures of Rachel McAdams at the Journey 2 premiere, I have a new obsession with three things:

1) Rachel McAdams
2) The colour blue
3) Florals

She wore this beautiful outfit from the Peter Som Spring 2012 collection:

Paris Couture

For over a week now I've been going back to the Vogue website looking at the S/S12 Couture shows and each time I look at those beautiful dresses I get goose pimples. My favourite shows from this year are definitely Elie Saab, Valentino and Zuhair Murad, but especially the Saab show. Elie Saab always have beautiful dress collections but this year I was literally blown away. A few years ago I went to the V&A museum to see the Grace Kelly exhibition and a lot of the Saab dresses reminded me of what I saw there.

Here are some my favourite dresses from the shows:

Zuhair Murad






Valentino






Elie Saab
