Graduation Celebration!!

Michael Kors watches, anyone who is anyone has one. From A List royalty Jennifer Anniston and Victoria Beckham to reality TV starlets Kim K and Kristen Cavallari.  Since being introduced by DM London (who buy watches for both ASOS and Selfridges) introduced Michael Kors watches in 2008, they have quickly become the must have accessory for women everywhere.

Bringing together the trend of wearing boyfriend style pieces and offering a stylish watch for a reasonable price, it's no wonder that these watches have become the key piece for both celebrities and mere mortals alike.

Thanks to my lovely siblings, I now have my very own Michael Kors time piece, courtesy of my graduation present (what a perfect gift, right?) and couldn't resist sharing it with all of you!

Fashion Week For The Masses

I know I'm not the only one who is giddy with excitement to see the new collection when fashion week kicks off at the end of this week.  I literally cannot wait to see what the likes of Charlotte Ronson, J Crew and Ralph Lauren have in store for us.  Not to mention  having to wait a further 11 days for LFW to kick off, but really, who wants to wait that long for a major fashion fix?

Well, we don't have to.  Today London High Street fashion week kicked off - a week of offers and sneak peaks at up coming high street ranges.  Whats more, it accessible to ALL!  You can even win free gifts by entering online (today the Chakra bracelet by Daisy).  The event is only in it's third year, but with Vogue's Fashion Night Out on the Thursday, this week is already a 'save the date' occasion for many fashionistas.

You can head on down to Selfridges on Wednesday and have a go in the 'Vlogging' booth (a booth where you can video blog about your purchases and style icons) or head down to the plaza on Tuesday where students from LCF will be offering you the chance to get your hands on a piece from the LCF collection.

The event is in an easy to access location, accessible to everyone and free.  So head down to Oxford Road today and see for yourself.

Payday Purchase

Before I decided I wanted to work in Fashion, I was studying law. I gave it up for a number of reasons. Firstly, I got teased by a few of the girls who called me legally blonde. Next I watched The Devil Wears Prada and realised that fashion was more than just what people are wearing. Third, I discovered the genius that is Rachel Zoe.

I've always loved Rachel Zoe ever since that day. She literally is to fashion what Jay-Z is to Hip-Hop. I follow her tv show and the celebrities she dresses like a religeon. I knew through her programme that she was launching her clothes, but imagine my delight when I walked into Selfridges and discovered she had also launched a footwear range.

I was looking at the new Jimmy Choo riding boots but compared to these 'Jen' boots by Rachel Zoe, they might as well have been from Primark. At £500 cheaper than the JC's, these boots were a clear winner.
These boots are 16" with a 1 1/2 inch heel and a silver chain that hangs from the lower shaft of the boot. The fact that they are a riding boot make them a trend away from the biker boots of last year, and also means that they are a key item that will last through seasons to come.
