Outfit of the day - Engagement

 Cardigan - Primark

Top - H&M

Leggings - H&M

Shoes - Primark

Bag - New Look

Engagement ring - Ask the hubby-to-be! ;-)

Last weekend I went for dinner and cocktails to celebrate my engagement (woohoo!) with my sisters and mum. 

Unfortunately we were missing one more person, my sister who lives in New York.  I can't wait until December when she returns for the Christmas holidays so we can really go out and celebrate altogether. 

But in the meantime, I will continue to keep dining out in fab restaurants (Thai Square in Putney - fantastic!) and sipping on yummy cocktails until she arrives!

New York Fashion Week Spring 2012

  My two favourite ladies, Nicki Minaj and Anna Wintour at New York fashion week!

It's spot the celeb at New York Fashion Week as stars flock to the catwalks to see the designers showcase their latest collections.

Fashion week isn't just about fashion - or didn't you know?  It's about celebs wearing the best outfits and of course getting front row seats - beside Ms Anna Wintour if you're really lucky!

So when I saw this photo of Nicki Minaj, in her lime green fishnets, orange tennis skirt and sweetie inspired top smiling and chatting with Anna Wintour I couldn't help but giggle - I would've LOVED to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!

So here are my favourite outfits of New York fashion week so far...

 Solange Knowles

 Alexa Chung

 

Lindsay Lohan

 Lisa Roe

 Whitney Port

  Angela Simmons

Rihanna Loves Leather Trousers!

 Rihanna spotted in leather trousers during the day

Rihanna was spotted out and about in New York yesterday wearing these leather trousers looking simple yet chic.

She teamed in checked black and white heels and a simple sweater, black shades and a gold necklace.

Then later that evening she was seen in brown leather trousers and a grey top, obviously a fan of leather!

Rihanna has been chosen as the new face of Armani Jeans campaign. I'm not sure about the blonde wig, but I love the jeans and pose beside the car.

I can't wait to see RiRi in concert in a couple of weeks time...roll on October!

Alexa Chung Harper Bazaar Shoot

Alexa Chung is known for her fab style but even she gets bored of certain trends as she reveals in her latest interview.

 Alexa in red Lavin dress

The style queen admitted she fell out of love with the trend that made her most famous, Sixties trademarks, smock dresses, flat shoes and brogues.  But don't fret! She is ready to claim the Sixties style back and did this photoshoot to prove she hasn't totally fallen out of love with smock dresses just yet...

 Alexa in a blue Burberry dress, ♥ the patent loafers too!

 Alexa in red Prada coat..and it's those cute loafers again!

Kelis at Genes for Jeans Charity Event

 Kelis at Genes for Jeans charity party

Singer Kelis was spotted at the Genes for Jeans charity event in Soho last night.

 Kelis - how cute does her hair look?!

As usual, Kelis was wearing only an outfit she could pull off. I loved the multi-coloured embroidered jacket and the chandelier earrings.  The leather laced up trousers goes well with the black and white shirt, and check out her studded boots! 

Adele covers October UK Vogue

 Adele covers UK Vogue!

Soul singer Adele posed for Vogue's October cover and candidly talks about the media's obsession with women and weight.

The 23 year old said: "I enjoy being me, I always have done.  I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs and how it wears them down.  And I just don't want that in my life."

 Adele embraces her fuller figure

She said: "I don’t want to see me plastered everywhere..if they offered me £10million, I’d be like f*** off. Besides if I was going to be the face of anything it should be the face of full-fat coke."

How refreshing to see photos of a celebrity that isn't stick thin, happy with their weight and still beautiful.  It is so tiring seeing the same images of unhealthy looking models in magazines. 

 Adele in October's Vogue issue

In an industry where being size 0 and looking gaunt is celebrated and not discouraged, I think Adele is a great role model for women. We all have insecurities, even Adele, as she mentions in her Vogue interview. But she still ensures she maintains a positive self-image.  She said: "I have insecurities of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me."

Vogue definitely deserve credit for making Adele their cover model. Let's hope they continue this trend and we see more healthy looking celebrities and model gracing the front covers of high fashion magazines.

Noemie Lenoir Vs Magazine Shoot

Check out these fabulous photos of former M&S model, Noemie Lenoir magazine shoot for Vs.

The model, shot by Simon Procter, posed for a series of dramatic looks for the high fashion magazine wearing Gucci, Caalli and Louis Vuitton.

 Red chiffon dress by Gucci, and red rubber boots by Louis Vuitton

My favourite is definitely the red and black tartan print wool cloak by Moschino, Lanvin hat, silk stockings by Louis Vuitton, the Burberry shoes, what a cute outfit!

 My favourite outfit from the shoot!

Comfort over fashion? Victoria Beckham Back in Heels!

 Posh Spice with Brooklyn, David and Harper

Uh-oh, Victoria Beckham is back in her sky-scraper heels! 

Dressed in a black vest top and cropped leather trousers, Posh Spice was seen wearing super high Christian Louboutin heels.

But only two weeks ago, she was spotted wearing ballet pumps  due to back problems.

Posh spotted in ballet pumps - very rare!

Victoria suffered from a slipped disc during pregnancy which was exacerbated in childbirth which is why she was spotted in flats two weeks ago.

So do you think it is too early for Posh to go back to heels?  Do you prefer flat pumps or sky scraper heels?
