So excited, it's just my style from what I can see. I hope the size range is good!

paper crown

I absolutely adore Lauren Conrad's style. It's so feminine and so simple that she looks elegant all the time. That the look I like to go for. I love to know about trends, but I can never seem to work them fully, so I love to take small parts and factor them in, just like Lauren does. I was so excited to see that she was releasing a new collection - her line for Kohl's was more than dissappointing - and I'm sad to say this line, Paper Crown, is not a lot better.

There are some gorgeous pieces in the collection, but nothing stands out above any other designer out there at the moment. I've looked at the whole lookbook and these are the only two that stood out to me, and even those aren't particulary special.



I'm not sure when these are becoming available or what the prices will be like, but I can't imagine there will be a huge rush to grab these pieces.

Should I?

There is an incredible pair of shoes that I want (yes, they are bordering being a complete rip-off of Louboutins, but they are so gorgeous). However, I'm worried they will look really cheap. Arrrggggh. Help me out, has anyone ever used a website like this?





They are the perfect classy black shoe but sexy too because they are so high. 75 euros... should I or not?

be iconic...

Expensive lipsticks are my new thing. I could spend hours choosing which colours to buy and when I left Sephora this weekend my hand was coloured coral from all the ones I tried. These are so gorgeously glossy, I can't decide what one I should get. Hmmmm.

PS. How seductive is Kate's voice. I love her accent.

Emma Watson for Lancome : My Version

Here are some of the pictures from Emma Watson's shoot with Mario Testino for her Lancome campaign. I still do not love her hair, but I absolutely adore the classic biker jacket and romantic dress combination. I always grab my leather jacket when I go out for the night here in Paris, something about it just feels right.




Here is my version, a fail safe outfit from my wardrobe.

Monday Morning Motivation

This ad is old, but whenever I need some cheering up it always does the trick. I think it's the mixture of cute guys and spring time that does it for me. ENJOY

Dupe: Prada

LOVE the prints from Prada for this season, don't love the shapes. Luckily my favourite high street shop has given me options.


Prada SS11

I have actually tried both of these on, the skirt and the top, on seperate occasions. The shirt is absolutely lovely, but I just don't know how much I would wear it and sadly the skirt (which I adore) is too big on the waist.

I really love the more feminine take Zara put on the Prada originals.
