Because of my love for the 50's, I decided to style a 50's inspired pin-up photo shoot and my location would be the beach- taking inspiration from the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe's beach shoot back in the 50's.<br /><br />I was lucky enough to have a gorgeous friend who has the perfect pin-up body and with a touch of make-up, curling and some 50's clothes and accessories could be transformed into the perfect pin-up...<br /><br />So once I had found my model and decided on the setting, props and clothes I was all set to plan the date for the shoot.<br /><br />The day before the shoot I had to prepare one of the most important props: The Pop Cakes!<br /><br />Well my mum actually baked the Pop Cakes, but I iced and decorated them. I iced them in red icing and decorated them in tiny white flowers.<br /><br />Obviously I couldn't not try one before I used them in my shoot...they were amazing! A moist chocolate brownie on a stick covered in white chocolate flavoured icing- So nice!<br /><br />The day of the photo shoot was perfect with blue skys. I took so many photos and it was so hard to decide on the final 6, but these are the ones I felt conveyed 50's glamour and fun at it's best.<br /><br />Be as pretty as a pin-up this summer and flaunt your curves in a cute polka dot bikini and matching umbrella to shade yourself. For seaside glamour, take inspiration from 50’s tailoring and why not bake some Pop Cakes to take with you- a delicious and chic new treat for a picnic...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY95uub7pISgHmHk4i4_QAhViQORbKigYHb7foLfztRCLHu6ZL75LEzU-7mCFH-dKwFxGSOmggS7hgeNW9zVrYJR2QUUluEYky9epSLkeVpkSK471xT5lI19Kc0ZQTSNiMMVin45OQzdtm/s1600/DSCF0335.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY95uub7pISgHmHk4i4_QAhViQORbKigYHb7foLfztRCLHu6ZL75LEzU-7mCFH-dKwFxGSOmggS7hgeNW9zVrYJR2QUUluEYky9epSLkeVpkSK471xT5lI19Kc0ZQTSNiMMVin45OQzdtm/s320/DSCF0335.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607022427147741442" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC0uDX1KrY0zIpTuQ-Det16jpo3OfV0vB6f5GLTwkaFqPN4fEuxqCczvaFS7kRTCPG_2QqLpwMNTQAKpI3grFx0NYmmc9KaeMI42IoNoAEOtCuozdifyaVoNj9itqGwpLHgbqboABk0tQy/s1600/DSCF0533.JPG+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC0uDX1KrY0zIpTuQ-Det16jpo3OfV0vB6f5GLTwkaFqPN4fEuxqCczvaFS7kRTCPG_2QqLpwMNTQAKpI3grFx0NYmmc9KaeMI42IoNoAEOtCuozdifyaVoNj9itqGwpLHgbqboABk0tQy/s320/DSCF0533.JPG+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607025082494386194" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzdQbKCS-E9aXn3h_ZGXe2k87uq6l0nV8VsFDp1RGtKcalsS4TX-3WR0A-mq6aaPM3m9bP4CVJNMAVon18sLAqBvhGYHkMvFF7u6SUsUje3MgFwek69oN8PVChdspsaRO_BJhIVDKPTkT/s1600/DSCF0508.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzdQbKCS-E9aXn3h_ZGXe2k87uq6l0nV8VsFDp1RGtKcalsS4TX-3WR0A-mq6aaPM3m9bP4CVJNMAVon18sLAqBvhGYHkMvFF7u6SUsUje3MgFwek69oN8PVChdspsaRO_BJhIVDKPTkT/s320/DSCF0508.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607022434016943282" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5i5Y1rMsrKZRRS2GydG2zVTllljuC5yFLFL-eXZ_tbUO3whiexNLQeG42TUSrMzdsralm2xITTIIdLgXwRMpzn9BVMdi2ZZ1h7ip1EyI9gYKbubA4TlbEllXbaota0EgF4nGhifv5UkZz/s1600/DSCF0330.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5i5Y1rMsrKZRRS2GydG2zVTllljuC5yFLFL-eXZ_tbUO3whiexNLQeG42TUSrMzdsralm2xITTIIdLgXwRMpzn9BVMdi2ZZ1h7ip1EyI9gYKbubA4TlbEllXbaota0EgF4nGhifv5UkZz/s320/DSCF0330.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607022416856278818" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXV8pC3lzXxNLnSZ-BPpvbd4RzrWiW_b381Z-D7gNT88Kzq2khUr2aeyJcCx0tN7vqHKoW5wopo_yRgyNkEsez0H4acBqXTMD4ORuExyVexPBwNTrgQV-gna0elma0dJ0pszW8PzMFGyp/s1600/DSCF0351.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXV8pC3lzXxNLnSZ-BPpvbd4RzrWiW_b381Z-D7gNT88Kzq2khUr2aeyJcCx0tN7vqHKoW5wopo_yRgyNkEsez0H4acBqXTMD4ORuExyVexPBwNTrgQV-gna0elma0dJ0pszW8PzMFGyp/s320/DSCF0351.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607025091921819458" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmyOQOd4eX_aUjSoxv3HFFf913oxV5i7GtXYtqwAsDFJux9JZKD7ipJamcOVx-7q56fdG8ra6Gztk11pfYcCZCxkw00vbRX-icxB6vXg-2ITXy5GF6-Zsbj1a5fzvJCyCjooaChQi063mM/s1600/DSCF0600.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmyOQOd4eX_aUjSoxv3HFFf913oxV5i7GtXYtqwAsDFJux9JZKD7ipJamcOVx-7q56fdG8ra6Gztk11pfYcCZCxkw00vbRX-icxB6vXg-2ITXy5GF6-Zsbj1a5fzvJCyCjooaChQi063mM/s320/DSCF0600.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607025101287707954" /></a><br /><br /><em>words, styling and photography: Emily Carroll</em><br /><br />What do you think of 50's inspired fashion this summer?

And that's not the worst of it- I don't understand why anyone would dream of doing this but the radiators, shelves and even the door was painted baby pink. <br /><br />It wasn't nice and it definatley wasn't homely or at all chic. My dressing table and mannequin simply didn't fit. So while I was over at university in Southampton I trusted my mum in giving my room a complete overhaul.<br /><br />She decided to opt for a shabby chic vintage look. So when I came back, it was such a transformation and I loved it! So here are a few photographs that show my room and all the accessories in it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ZXQt8Rxp0fvNhtNCzuiHgBq7tfJIboD6UFR7T6kksAZQFKjENZUoTk1H7bX077e02VJUDy-7lpG0zqRrGfhFCsk0dwqKwkJT_Ityijeoi-Z9RfJVEV2OrdOethFhxZNBaQ_TCZp8yD7f/s1600/DSCF0235.JPG"><img style="display:block;

When it's raining I always have to lug around a umbrella and my fur coat and it just gets in the way when I'm trying to look at things.<br /><br />There's so many nice things in the shops at the moment and it's all summery clothes and I feel like I want to update my wardrobe with some slightly more summery dresses. <br /><br />I found a quirky shop that sells vintage and fancy dress clothing and I havent yet found any vintage clothes in there that I like, but I did buy a gorgeous vintage inspired 50's dress in there the other day. The dress is cut from a 50's inspired pattern and recreated in modern fabric.<br /><br />I love the shape of it, I think it's really flattering.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqDY2YbxFhW4NDBVScxAsNtkmgqrmKDhvV93DjMZ7T4JHX2lkG0nCzJnDiL0PjQk4IEZvtBYNNhp8-ip2Zw46B0-wP4ZBY79Rnwf_qq3QbW5pByjms8BeqzjAbjM9lJhO-I5pkaXuyRZa/s1600/DSCF0107.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqDY2YbxFhW4NDBVScxAsNtkmgqrmKDhvV93DjMZ7T4JHX2lkG0nCzJnDiL0PjQk4IEZvtBYNNhp8-ip2Zw46B0-wP4ZBY79Rnwf_qq3QbW5pByjms8BeqzjAbjM9lJhO-I5pkaXuyRZa/s320/DSCF0107.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588480490632939282" /></a><br /><br />I also bought some shoes that I felt were essential for the summer and where they're wedges they are really comfy to walk in too. I think they will look really nice with a long maxi dress.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0BuMEsZd1Tfe-qY4kaAq6CyO7TR0rRY1FY0UpyI7HVSBEYQEn6e842Fz2OrjzvJB7UeZ11JA3zVnSPrn1Oqa7lbrugRwmWGIez0oPxOSm_wNa1rQ_AU_xpkMcKoBd9tBLQrhAomdUzBBg/s1600/DSCF0090.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0BuMEsZd1Tfe-qY4kaAq6CyO7TR0rRY1FY0UpyI7HVSBEYQEn6e842Fz2OrjzvJB7UeZ11JA3zVnSPrn1Oqa7lbrugRwmWGIez0oPxOSm_wNa1rQ_AU_xpkMcKoBd9tBLQrhAomdUzBBg/s320/DSCF0090.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588481939241779698" /></a><br />Wedges, £24.99, New Look<br /><br />They have some really nice things in New Look at the moment and with the New Look magazine they are giving out 20% off vouchers at the moment, which is even better. I got this cute stripey crop in there, I had to get it because I love the lace and pearl collar, it's so cute. I've combined it with a darker navy on the bottom, which is flattering for my pear shape and I think it makes me appear more hourglass.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoyanwLCVWOjrMfY6FWrMLLYDoWlo6LCaGLORy1xp8eLMmgK2YIDBGqwKdsrQA6uBF8nAYfjnx8JxmAum-0kUeGH1c0CcPfNcQCF1L0AF3Ya1W-rUYrGwfpEqF_3yxuCCZCGRn6IQQzDw/s1600/DSCF0101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoyanwLCVWOjrMfY6FWrMLLYDoWlo6LCaGLORy1xp8eLMmgK2YIDBGqwKdsrQA6uBF8nAYfjnx8JxmAum-0kUeGH1c0CcPfNcQCF1L0AF3Ya1W-rUYrGwfpEqF_3yxuCCZCGRn6IQQzDw/s320/DSCF0101.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588482966769901266" /></a><br />Top, £16.99, New Look<br /><br />Also, I have my bikini sorted for summer.

I got given mainly money so I can spend some on clothes and save the rest for money for my travels.<br /><br />I came back to Southampton for my birthday night out and received lots of lovely gifts from the Southampton girls, all of which were wrapped nicely and placed in the Disney's Tangled bag! I also had a red heart balloon, which I was very pleased about because as I pointed out to my mum I usually have balloons up on my birthday and this year I had none. I think she must think I'm getting too old :(<br /><br />Anyway, one of my presents was this dress...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgClN3H332R0Q6u0XrumK9xCy8MoT1f2BUvPt2Z_SOfCTPXhOk-85FtkicV-IqSmc17MhMAthLZWpU6oJIxJkhV75pGRTN5ONknqZ4npAN8m69NnqOO29smYdsy8ug7qyBuZ9Yq1anUNxnp/s1600/DSCF0108.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgClN3H332R0Q6u0XrumK9xCy8MoT1f2BUvPt2Z_SOfCTPXhOk-85FtkicV-IqSmc17MhMAthLZWpU6oJIxJkhV75pGRTN5ONknqZ4npAN8m69NnqOO29smYdsy8ug7qyBuZ9Yq1anUNxnp/s320/DSCF0108.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586667791062700802" /></a><br /><br />I got this bag for my birthday too, I'm wearing it with everything at the moment.

After all I did <em>need</em> a birthday dress.<br /><br />As soon as I zipped the dress up, I was in love with it. If fitted so well and emphasized my small waist and top half and disguised my pear shape body, making me appear hourglass with its 50's style skirt and soft pleating.<br /><br />I simply had to have the dress. Customised with a skinny belt and some high court heels I felt ready for my birthday already!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jCdqrcdFx_iIUa9Fwr6-DoFhsCbQERQZPQ1KQWPQyMU80z5g1CEvs2o6KkBJ-Aao6dYjO34ew49l_jcA-wJ8olJtNnhmK83gLNdr7aRghTslNYYLksG3hWPyVz6mowev4NGMbEvxLp8e/s1600/DSC01262.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jCdqrcdFx_iIUa9Fwr6-DoFhsCbQERQZPQ1KQWPQyMU80z5g1CEvs2o6KkBJ-Aao6dYjO34ew49l_jcA-wJ8olJtNnhmK83gLNdr7aRghTslNYYLksG3hWPyVz6mowev4NGMbEvxLp8e/s320/DSC01262.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579165811454789586" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVaDxc3ZjXEBIoQsGqWhYip7htsvPREnJoS5WgnpdD4ztYjXbcXE-6V-g9Y_b6Pm-cZpEbzBFBqtK021-qSYkHA1QjXRaeLAUqr19OjlH-WYXhfubXtZzf0jBScA5pQp7CvQO3THAxNZ7/s1600/DSC01261.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVaDxc3ZjXEBIoQsGqWhYip7htsvPREnJoS5WgnpdD4ztYjXbcXE-6V-g9Y_b6Pm-cZpEbzBFBqtK021-qSYkHA1QjXRaeLAUqr19OjlH-WYXhfubXtZzf0jBScA5pQp7CvQO3THAxNZ7/s320/DSC01261.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579166329314968354" /></a><br /><br />I think I will accessorize with a single strand of pearls, to keep it looking classic and then a red flower in my hair to work with the red belt and shoes. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbc8TVltDigqVMB2zU5gNMy2SCljJdBXLyCuYxVQgldolgJmX7ZtjE1rfMp0ipNoOOSHtAM6gu5tGsJrZ6m01r5WVM4HAZDDhuGApCC5MbI0F0B6SiIlX-HcQ8nKdr769Ew6BBa2bujn5/s1600/DSC01259.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbc8TVltDigqVMB2zU5gNMy2SCljJdBXLyCuYxVQgldolgJmX7ZtjE1rfMp0ipNoOOSHtAM6gu5tGsJrZ6m01r5WVM4HAZDDhuGApCC5MbI0F0B6SiIlX-HcQ8nKdr769Ew6BBa2bujn5/s200/DSC01259.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579166853031041394" /></a><br /><br />Oh and guess what...

Directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, it’s the 50th animated film to be released. <br /><br />It certainly meets up to its expectations. Starring cute sounding American actress Mandy Moore who also appeared in 2002’s A walk to Remember. She Co-stars with Zachery Levi who plays the Hero, Flynn Rider who has recently been nominated for an Oscar. <br /><br />If you enjoyed The Princess and the Frog- Disney’s Tangled is a must. A delightful re-make of the Rapunzel fairytale with witty characters that make you laugh out loud, from a charismatic Princess, to a humorous handsome hero, a charming chameleon and of course some crafty villains thrown into the action packed storyline.<br /><br />In the opening scene we see the princess as a baby being snatched by an evil lady named Mother Gothel, from this point we can tell her hair possesses magical powers. Mother Gothel, takes her far away to a tall tower and is brought up by the evil lady posed as her mother. Mother Gothel brainwashes her into thinking that the world is a bad place, in order to keep Rapunzel there and use her magical powers to keep her young.<br /><br />Rapunzel dreams to see the outside world and coincidently, a handsome thief climbs up her castle in a bid to hide from trouble. Rapunzel pleads with him to take her to see the lanterns that are lit on her birthday every year. Not knowing they are lit especially for her by her parents, she sets off on an action packed journey to discover the beautiful lights she’s always dreamed of seeing.<br /><br />Along the way in typical Disney flair she is met with adventure, experiences and whimsical characters that take her on an exciting journey of self-discovery.<br />Rapunzel is an inspirational character who believes you should never give up on your dreams and to follow your heart. She is a perfect role model for children and anyone who believes in following their dreams.<br /><br />Tangled was released on the 28th January and has topped the box office for the fourth week running, proving what a success it has been. <br /><br />Tangled is a film for all ages with its action packed sequences and comical lines, it will stop children from fidgeting, men are likely to find the characters amusing, and for the women well, we can’t resist a love story, can we? <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/images/7030798/tumblr_lg7e54wGht1qzcz7jo1_500_large.jpg?1297337828"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 264px;" src="http://s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/images/7030798/tumblr_lg7e54wGht1qzcz7jo1_500_large.jpg?1297337828" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I just loved this cheeky chameleon so I had to include a photo of him!

If you are looking for an eyeshadow that <em>actually</em> does last all day then I definately suggest you try one of theirs. It not only stays on all day but if you're like me and like to use shadow that's not too faint, their eye shadow range is so perfect that you don't need to apply another layer!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh35PQdlNvrROMM0QBpav1k4vn7oyImO1-l_DOYkWzMGTOUCdMoRK5iAJE48KOP_suikiHb38f4PZ_clHFuQRGZFmIJW4KpaOnJk2qTGUNhOmWtD3kClkztN9GVOXZjoE9uT9Du4E1lKQV5/s1600/DSCF0016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh35PQdlNvrROMM0QBpav1k4vn7oyImO1-l_DOYkWzMGTOUCdMoRK5iAJE48KOP_suikiHb38f4PZ_clHFuQRGZFmIJW4KpaOnJk2qTGUNhOmWtD3kClkztN9GVOXZjoE9uT9Du4E1lKQV5/s320/DSCF0016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567348845147080802" /></a><br /><br />I thought I would try their marbled grey colour instead of the usual black I wear, for a nice day time look and it looks gorgeous for a night out too! The grey merged eye shadow is called Gun Metal and has white's and grey's merged into one. Something I do to really highlight my eyes is dust some of the white lightly in the corners of my eyes.<br /><br />Grey is the colour for eyes this season and at Donna Karan the models showed off slate grey eyelids.<br /><br />I also thought I would add to my huge collection of blue eye shadows and try another one of Accessorize's eye shadows. I couldn't believe they worked so well for just £4 each. Yet again, the eyeshadow came out perfectly. I didn't even have to hold a tissue under my eye because the shadow didn't even fall under my eye!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTD0yWFLunX2sVlZV33K0c6rqDNhyMA2NRV8Qyhe12GFOPPYBJwhR-cfvoM1r_2b9U75Zkj7YLm5u-C6PgxnjdTaJRBz5WLHKAbnOwBOCkImomleRDAS64rGCA6a9Vk8vdmkoT-JOr9cBa/s1600/DSCF0017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTD0yWFLunX2sVlZV33K0c6rqDNhyMA2NRV8Qyhe12GFOPPYBJwhR-cfvoM1r_2b9U75Zkj7YLm5u-C6PgxnjdTaJRBz5WLHKAbnOwBOCkImomleRDAS64rGCA6a9Vk8vdmkoT-JOr9cBa/s320/DSCF0017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567349363613937426" /></a><br /><em>Illusion eye shadow- Denim £4</em><br /><br />You may have noticed that I love red, usually bright red but recently I have been loving the berry red that's about.

Can't wait... I went swimming today and yesterday but tomorrow the slides will be working so I'm very excited! =) <br /><br />have you bought anything from the Accessorize range yet?

we would only be sleeping there and after all it is the city that never sleeps so there wouldn't be much of that going on...<br /><br />and there wasn't. The night we got there, ignoring our jeg lag and serious tiredness we decided to take a trip to Times Square. It was completely overwhelming, espically at night.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYFLYih6fraFf4Fq5dIyc459jbmiI8nQ5gfDeUlLg2QH3Or-_ej7pqu9-V1_hyOon-lt9esNQQTJLCDSMyPWsL-LlWqGh8ojvtxl0DiT-PpEg9EhosaohWEJ_iCA5tM0jVShKZJfGgdRe/s1600/DSCF5321.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYFLYih6fraFf4Fq5dIyc459jbmiI8nQ5gfDeUlLg2QH3Or-_ej7pqu9-V1_hyOon-lt9esNQQTJLCDSMyPWsL-LlWqGh8ojvtxl0DiT-PpEg9EhosaohWEJ_iCA5tM0jVShKZJfGgdRe/s320/DSCF5321.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549936023599408178" /></a><br /><br />The friday we went on the Sex and The City Tour, which was fun!

We ended up being taken to a gay club which we didn't realise until we were in there! It was a fun night either way.<br /><br />Our last day in New York- Sunday. First stop The Empire State Building which had some stunning sights but I couldn't stay out there for long as it was so windy!

She believes in elegance, originality and thinks that everyone woman out of politeness should always make an effort. In my opinion, if I see a woman walking down the street and she looks chic and has made an effort I will remember her and think to myself she looks nice, this is also what I would like people to think when they see me. It doesn’t take too much to fix your hair, touch up your make-up and dress up a little; you will definitely feel better in yourself.<br /><br />Coco Chanel is still continuing to influence the way we dress now and this is because classic styles never fade. Some women are born stylish then again some women develop it, so if you want to be classy and fabulous like Coco Chanel, simply follow a few simple rules. Don’t worry it doesn’t involve buying a designer wardrobe; you don’t need money to acquire style.<br /><br />Take inspiration from stylish and tasteful women like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and definitely not from Paris Hilton. If you don’t feel like dressing in a little black dress and heels with a strand of pearls to the shops then simply save this for an evening out and dress in a stripy sailor style top, (which is another classic Chanel garment) and piece it with some trousers and don’t forget the classic stands of pearls again and an elegant Chanel inspired handbag. <br /><br />Another point Chanel put across was that yes clothes were to be stylish but they also had to be practical. An outfit which is comfortable yet still looks chic anywhere would be a tweed suit. If you don’t want to go all out then dress a tweed jacket trimmed with ribbon with a classic shaped skirt or some tailored trousers; piece these with some black and white pumps or courts. Spray a little No5 perfume to your neck and then you’ll look and feel fabulous.<br /><br />Once you’ve got style; just make sure you never lose it.<br /><br /><br />(photo sourced:counterfeitchic.com)Emily's Escapehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679158040562210820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137091124207067410.post-23871543616263382512010-10-20T04:15:00.000-07:002010-10-20T04:22:26.341-07:00Military Fashion: from aviators to capes.Military is huge this season, from aviator jackets to heavy duty utility pieces in army and bottle green, camel and khaki all finished off nicely with the classic buttons. Military is a trend I’m sure you’ll have noticed comes and goes but every time it returns it seems to evolve with more exciting fresh designs for us to get our hands on. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/images/attachement/jpg/site1/20090306/0023ae606f170b1b1b2249.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/images/attachement/jpg/site1/20090306/0023ae606f170b1b1b2249.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />Military is a trend that is inspired by the way women dressed during the war, quite masculine and not something women of the day particularly liked wearing. However designers this season are creating the opposite effect on women today, with their gorgeous designs women are gladly embracing military styling, making many women feel empowered when they are dressed in it. <br /><br />Designers are taking elements from the original look by making it practical and durable but enhancing the look by crafting statement garments with special attention to detail. Don’t get this look wrong though it’s not just a masculine look, unique finishing touches on particular garments instantly adds an element of girlishness to the look.<br /><br />Military pieces were at its best on the Autumn/Winter 2010 Burberry, Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton runways, showcasing an array of what will soon be hitting the high street. You’ll soon see a lot of military, but styled in many different ways from double-breasted jackets, military capes to huge buttons and bottle green skirts with button detailing. Influential celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole have already been spotted taking on the military trend. Cheryl’s been embracing military styling ever since her video ‘fight for this love’ was produced, where she is dressed in a statement red military jacket.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhOuVxH6oJ5mVvpSa4SLPb5mQy7ygn1MSyo7MI5bNJcYg8VM70teJjDgt7QW3thsQbXfUVIwJQ2DaQbjUbZtN5PumLvCWcHPI6IA7IoJ9EGv8Y0BUjulBqH131M-8ff09zxzl4GhvX4KC/s1600/Cheryl+cole+military+fashion.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhOuVxH6oJ5mVvpSa4SLPb5mQy7ygn1MSyo7MI5bNJcYg8VM70teJjDgt7QW3thsQbXfUVIwJQ2DaQbjUbZtN5PumLvCWcHPI6IA7IoJ9EGv8Y0BUjulBqH131M-8ff09zxzl4GhvX4KC/s320/Cheryl+cole+military+fashion.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530087022553560018" /></a><br /><br /><br />Head straight to Top Shop for a camel coloured cape with military buttons to be bang on trend or if you’re a student and simply can’t afford £95 for a coat this year (even if you do get 10% discount), simply head straight down to your local haberdashery store and pick up your own brass buttons to customize onto last year’s coat.

So, now all the international fashion shows are sadly over we can all start thinking about stocking up for Autumn/Winter. ..<br /><br />Just a few weeks ago we were still hoping we could stretch out wearing our pretty summer dresses and bare our legs for that little bit longer, well luckily you still can! Bare legs were everywhere on the catwalk, if worn with dresses and skirts. <br /><br />If you don’t feel like baring all, what about taking inspiration from the gorgeous Pixie Lott and covering up with some cute over the knee socks, to keep it classy but also cute wear with a mini dress that covers up on top.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/b/1/c/8/Pixie_Lott_arrives_9414.JPG?adImageId=13110915&imageId=8958739"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 667px;" src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/b/1/c/8/Pixie_Lott_arrives_9414.JPG?adImageId=13110915&imageId=8958739" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><em>(photo sourced:theonlinefashionagency.com)</em><br /><br />A key trend this season was the womanly look that welcomed killer curves. Prada and Louis Vuitton went all out with this classic look and filled the catwalk with figure-hugging dresses and lady-like blouses, which by the way are meant to be huge this season. Pussy-bow blouses are flying off the rails already, maybe because they are just so versatile and are a much more glam touch to complement you’re jeans as opposed to a basic tee.<br /><br />To compliment this feminine look, curls are the way forward this season and all shows flaunted the curl whether models had short hair, fringe or layers everyone was showing them off. From seventies chic at the Oscar de la Renta show to swept over curls at John Richmond’s, everyone’s hair made a statement.<br /><br /><a href="http://static.becomegorgeous.com/img/arts/2010/Sep/07/2700/oscar_de_la_renta_fall_2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 480px;" src="http://static.becomegorgeous.com/img/arts/2010/Sep/07/2700/oscar_de_la_renta_fall_2010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><em>(sourced:fashion-style.becomegorgeous.com)</em><br /><br />A trend that revealed its autumnal colours was the berry trend; the catwalk was drenched in sumptuous berry hues. To embrace this trend simply invest in a few key colours from this palette to brighten up you’re wardrobe. The great thing about this shade is, it’s a colour blonde and brunettes alike can look great in.<br /><br />Other major looks for the season were fur, lace, velvet, capes, A-line mini dresses and expect to see lots of black but these were just to name a few. Whatever look you decided to embrace this season, you’ll be sure to look good with the amount of styles to choose from.Emily's Escapehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679158040562210820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137091124207067410.post-928091182960680242010-10-05T10:31:00.000-07:002010-10-05T10:45:55.395-07:00Plus size models take to the runway for Paris Fashion WeekPlus size models seemed to steal the show on the Parisian runway at this year’s spring/summer 2011 show. As we know Paris Fashion week is renowned for being unpredictable and PFW seemed to make headlines again this year, not just because they celebrated plus size models but also because of the diverse line-up of models that were used throughout the show. <br /><br />Don’t get me wrong though, there were still the waif like models apparent and it seems there always will be, but by seeing a few healthier looking women you are able to imagine more of what it would look like on a normal woman, rather than on a coat hanger. Seeing the average size 14 plus size models against the skinny ones proved just how thin they really were and some would say it’s nice for a change to see women that aren’t conventionally beautiful.<br /><br />Paris catwalks were graced with the presence of The Gossip’s front woman Beth Ditto, who livened up the show by strutting down the catwalk revealing two different skimpy outfits, one of which was a tight fitted floral design and another created by Jean-Paul Gaultier.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/10/beth-ditto-modeling-for-jean-paul-gaultier-590bes100310.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 444px;" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/10/beth-ditto-modeling-for-jean-paul-gaultier-590bes100310.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This proved a far cry from the typical ‘plus size model’ which seems to be a size 14/16 and some would say Beth Ditto at a size 28 is just not healthy either. Many though were a healthy medium. Zac Posen had well known model Crystal Renn on his runway and at Balenciaga, designer Nicholas Ghesquiere sent five months-pregnant actress Miranda Kerr down the catwalk looking radiant as ever with her little baby bump. Zac Posen even announced backstage how he wanted to make clothes for women who love life and also love their food.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/09/miranda-kerr-on-runway-240bes093010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 360px;" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/09/miranda-kerr-on-runway-240bes093010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><em>Miranda Kerr (photo sourced: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/09/miranda-kerr-on-runway-240bes093010.jpg</em><br /><br />I very much doubt this means that the tall, slim and stereotypically beautiful need to start worrying but at Paris Fashion Week this season’s designers have shown particular interest in plus size models, but who knows? I guess we’ll have to wait till next season to see what’s changed.Emily's Escapehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679158040562210820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137091124207067410.post-16418590359751742152010-10-01T08:43:00.000-07:002010-10-01T09:39:10.575-07:00Home Sweet Home: my decorated room in picturesI'm really into all things cute and homely for my room, I mean my house has been filled with all things with sayings from 'Home Sweet Home' to 'Love' for a while now and since I have my own new room and new house now, I thought I would decorate in a similiar style too as I think it can really make a room feel that bit more homely...<br /><br />I've been stocking up for a while now from pretty shops, such as My House www.myhouseiow.co.uk go check the website!

I had to have it, especially at just £2.95!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxd_NP5A3cmVDEpBOTryovQfQ8c6tDXtqQD7kehS3bQY64ycAt3F4NRr97iMlyAURAstg6knPeXTGooCLTo3oowCZBD0mtgANR_kCczsfQcpp2vwHvkn0m22xWUVtWX434bCOAib4Ly0o3/s1600/DSCF1580.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxd_NP5A3cmVDEpBOTryovQfQ8c6tDXtqQD7kehS3bQY64ycAt3F4NRr97iMlyAURAstg6knPeXTGooCLTo3oowCZBD0mtgANR_kCczsfQcpp2vwHvkn0m22xWUVtWX434bCOAib4Ly0o3/s400/DSCF1580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521248253739870578" /></a><br /><br />Unlike some colours this nail varnish came out the same vivid colour that it appeared on the bottle, I was very impressed.

Location: New York City!<a href="http://www.kraseybeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Fashions-Night-Out-2010.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 411px;" src="http://www.kraseybeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Fashions-Night-Out-2010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Fashion fanatics from all over New York marked a very special event in their diaries for September the 10th and this was for the greatest fashion celebration that has taken over the entire globe; Fashion’s Night Out!<br /><br />Following on from last year’s hype, Fashion’s Night Out was back for 2010 and it proved bigger than ever, now becoming a global phenomenon. This was a night where everyone could celebrate fashion and be inspired to shop.<br /><br />This year Fashion’s Night Out pulled out all the stops to create an amazing night full of an array of beautiful clothes, stunning displays and a chance to meet with the designers themselves.<br /><br />Some would call the night an excuse to shop non-stop whereas others a night to meet with people that share their passion for fashion in an event that celebrates the industry in its entirety. Everyone was welcome to the year’s biggest party from the Designers, shoppers, shop assistants, celebrities, models and we mustn’t forget the endless amount of blogger’s that were tapping away all night long.<br /><br />This event isn’t just for designer fanatics; this occasion offers affordable fashions for all fashionista’s out there to enjoy and most importantly over 700 shops were open until 11pm exhibiting stunning new collections to lucky shoppers. Customers didn’t feel too guilty spending because they were pleased to know all proceeds from the sales of the FNO’s collections went to New York City AIDs fund.<br /><br />Women were delighted to hear they could wear their heels and not need to worry about crippling feet because Fashion’s Night Out had dedicated a free bus that made stops throughout the city! This was most definitely the bus to be seen on.<br /><br />To get people in the mood for shopping <strong>indie rock band metric</strong> made a special performance at 8.30pm and music mixed by a DJ covered the rest of the night. <strong>Guest designer Erin Fetherston</strong> offered style tips throughout the night, whilst elsewhere <strong>model Karlie Kloss</strong> customised cupcakes with shoppers.<br /><br />Top shop kicked off things by setting up fashion and beauty desks and exclusive vogue tees were on sale to raise money for the NYC AIDs Fund. Top Shop had its very own DJ in store blasting out tunes to get everyone in the spirit to both shop and party. They also called in their very own style photographers, who snapped throughout the night and later uploaded them on Facebook! <br /><br />Celebrities such as <strong>Naomi Campbell</strong> and <strong>Blake Lively</strong> took to their seats for the biggest fashion show in history where all the clothes were specially selected by <strong>Anna Wintour</strong>. The show was upbeat and energized and saw 170 different looks and over 150 designers that embraced the new trends this season. The show took place outside in a beautiful setting with a lit up water fountain in the centre and models strutted through the runway that was set amongst the seated audience. An array of looks took over the show from the 50’s look inspired by Mad Men to the season’s colour; camel then onto rock chick and military and many more exciting new trends.<br /><br />Fashion’s Night Out turned out to be such a great success, but it’s not surprising with the amount of hours and work that everyone had put in to make it the event of the year. Fashion, Culture and Music all mixed into one made this a night never to forget. Until next year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.styleseendaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/fashion-night-out-2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 470px; height: 327px;" src="http://www.styleseendaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/fashion-night-out-2010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br />(photo sourced: http://www.styleseendaily.com)Emily's Escapehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679158040562210820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137091124207067410.post-81071113575215644322010-09-19T05:43:00.000-07:002010-09-20T08:56:13.349-07:00Mad Men Fashion: ladylike chicTake lead from the Mad Men ladies and be inspired by Pussy bows, pearls and vintage looking hand bags- I don't know about you but I'm simply in love with the Mad Men look!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcFNCSxLnHINUX4FgGm37zFIj1yQHLHaHsDglAZ2kHakHB38_Peo2gpC8VgJ5yvC2CDQIU0uYIP_qwxxTspky-x1RWbys2lJb7BXYWVo-Vf6zAgb1BFCwNlbXb3eYvqQ4l2Wt0M68hGb7/s1600/madmen_fashion.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 289px; height: 357px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcFNCSxLnHINUX4FgGm37zFIj1yQHLHaHsDglAZ2kHakHB38_Peo2gpC8VgJ5yvC2CDQIU0uYIP_qwxxTspky-x1RWbys2lJb7BXYWVo-Vf6zAgb1BFCwNlbXb3eYvqQ4l2Wt0M68hGb7/s400/madmen_fashion.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519009774231837746" /></a> <em>(photo sourced http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/madmen_fashion.jpg)</em><br /><br /><br />After watching the New York's Fashion Night Out show I fell in love with the style. Confident, elegant models with hourglass silhouettes embraced the 50's look perfectly.<br /><br />Finally a trend that you don't have to be stick thin to wear. In fact, it's even better if you have an hourglass silhouette to pull this look off. Be inspired by the women of Mad Men with A-line skirts and nipped in waists and pearls add an elegant touch.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi332J-iL62VISAJHur206aoOM7EXivgnbenutHowsSQ7j8xGWX3BS5eywRV6XhNyBm9mVlM8URS4z1APzQkcSLLTF2PZsjzRWTqP5dNL0Fkz_nqvjhlnITNs_zwtHetvYSmDnKN4edw9Y2/s1600/main_1004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi332J-iL62VISAJHur206aoOM7EXivgnbenutHowsSQ7j8xGWX3BS5eywRV6XhNyBm9mVlM8URS4z1APzQkcSLLTF2PZsjzRWTqP5dNL0Fkz_nqvjhlnITNs_zwtHetvYSmDnKN4edw9Y2/s400/main_1004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519012782264767138" /></a><em>(photo sourced http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/pub/21publish/fashion/main_1004.jpg)</em><br /><br /><br />Vintage pearls and handbags looks great but if you don't feel like going for something second hand, Accessorize have some gorgeous vintage inspired hand bags in at the moment and Miss Selfridge have some cute pearls too.

Magazine. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Kn6S9QPguiJyeM02WAKT1BiXscZjzFluZjDSIznHjPNYfPjSKf6ZNHofGoFMmRzEtUbWXQXw6llxOI28e6mQTeAfaj3RCMEYBbROUzFxVWmos0U3m5wpOIcfb1RQq-X7u45ozniR4Ak/s1600/DSCF1459.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Kn6S9QPguiJyeM02WAKT1BiXscZjzFluZjDSIznHjPNYfPjSKf6ZNHofGoFMmRzEtUbWXQXw6llxOI28e6mQTeAfaj3RCMEYBbROUzFxVWmos0U3m5wpOIcfb1RQq-X7u45ozniR4Ak/s400/DSCF1459.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507158036973090066" /></a><br /><strong>Here is the outfit I chose for my first day:<br /><br />Blue polka dot dress, Primark<br />Red bag, Accessorize<br />'LOVE' necklace, New Look<br />Pearls, charity shop<br />Teacup bracelet, Topshop</strong><br /><br />As frightening as the first days of travel were, I managed to find my way eventually even if it did mean asking 50 people on my way! But now my weeks are up, I almost feel like a pro at it!<br /><br />My first day was definately one of my highlights- I bumped into GMTV fashion stylist Mark Heyes down Neal Street and actually stopped and had a chat with him! We spoke about fashion, his holiday he was about to go on and about a new surprise he had in store for the styling part of GMTV! He told me to say hi to the more! girls and gave me a hug and of he went! =D<br /><br />The rest of my week consisted of returns, collecting clothes, calling up PR's, compiling outfits for photo shoots and other little jobs that anyone asked me to do!<br /><br />I also had a meeting with all the girls on the fashion department, where I had the opportunity to ask any questions...I made the most of this. <br /><br /><strong>Top Tips to get into a fashion magazine </strong><br />1. To have character<br />2. To be Reliable<br />3. work experience. work experience. work experience.<br /><br />The second week I was lucky enough to go for a day long photo shoot for More's 'more for less' section, this was by far my favourite day! I began by pressing the clothes the model was going to be wearing. I was then introduced to the photographer, make-up artist/hair stylist and model, they were all lovely and I managed to chat to them about their jobs. My job was to dress the model and pin her into the clothes, where the clothes were much too big for her tiny frame, I could then watch her being photographed whilst writing the credits for everything she wore.<br /><br />All in all these two weeks were a great experience where I leant a lot of new things that will now stick with me forever!<br /><br />Here are some of my outfits that I wore during the two weeks...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQCiiZ8_re576j1gfHYLGf1kiGwaUhqBxQbq2LQlQ_3yRWLOcdP4y1lXxaoG-uwCUMHgRh0Z3KJp32U04M_cNns38LQGcLlKaRQmQZXZ72OA_uyDeR7Z0ikYuHw1OWNbElrgZdWDHViC2/s1600/DSCF1464.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQCiiZ8_re576j1gfHYLGf1kiGwaUhqBxQbq2LQlQ_3yRWLOcdP4y1lXxaoG-uwCUMHgRh0Z3KJp32U04M_cNns38LQGcLlKaRQmQZXZ72OA_uyDeR7Z0ikYuHw1OWNbElrgZdWDHViC2/s400/DSCF1464.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507166283670114354" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Blue dress with lace underskirt, Ebay<br />Red bag, Accessorize<br />Red Bow &'LOVE' necklace, both New Look<br />Leggings, Primark</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hHk5Kdg7zNjAluKFAKqWOxuVG1_YaDplXXYdiochC0TJqqSWzyx-lL66W8XRIIs67htlTXVgdpnwIYqns3IDSWIyuwBD_KgnrHxkwjGp4kIh9X2jyUOEpE9IPDjUm7KKdMuPUctgrmyD/s1600/DSCF1455.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hHk5Kdg7zNjAluKFAKqWOxuVG1_YaDplXXYdiochC0TJqqSWzyx-lL66W8XRIIs67htlTXVgdpnwIYqns3IDSWIyuwBD_KgnrHxkwjGp4kIh9X2jyUOEpE9IPDjUm7KKdMuPUctgrmyD/s400/DSCF1455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507166269511101762" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Striped maxi dress, New Look<br />Red flower corsage, Accessorize<br />Small strand of pearls, charity shop<br />Long Strand, New Look<br /></strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoruZMLJPuuRPLGhdbmvl8HWqkOKrGH0MdwYG6ULDDluO0G0K8vfHcGXmRIzBnL7EaZpI8gsnxgM37BXcbU5TfzQ__F6e1BhBJOeBUod_ZihkYkdt3g1cjVn24HXHZX1WsUZpr2x7jRVD8/s1600/DSCF1457.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoruZMLJPuuRPLGhdbmvl8HWqkOKrGH0MdwYG6ULDDluO0G0K8vfHcGXmRIzBnL7EaZpI8gsnxgM37BXcbU5TfzQ__F6e1BhBJOeBUod_ZihkYkdt3g1cjVn24HXHZX1WsUZpr2x7jRVD8/s400/DSCF1457.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507166276162688450" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Pearl earrings, Accessorize<br />Bow ring, Live like this<br />Bracelet, Top Shop<br />Necklaces &flower (as above)</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5kl6SaG3j9LAiBFo_0wChoMmnCz5T7hdIYTKW4wNV2HRyryLL8Y5w95JiKtNdxZujweoJWOxhdnOOZOFlk6tb7lav8H8xm7XctCWZTeMHQxOnQwvlErdN-EDNr9xArquW0eD7auhZcFU/s1600/DSCF1452.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5kl6SaG3j9LAiBFo_0wChoMmnCz5T7hdIYTKW4wNV2HRyryLL8Y5w95JiKtNdxZujweoJWOxhdnOOZOFlk6tb7lav8H8xm7XctCWZTeMHQxOnQwvlErdN-EDNr9xArquW0eD7auhZcFU/s400/DSCF1452.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507166260406272066" /></a><br /><br /><strong>'Paris'crop top, New Look<br />Red skirt, Zara<br />Small flower, H&M</strong><br /><br />Now to find some more work experience =)Emily's Escapehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679158040562210820noreply@blogger.com2
