It's the most wonderful time of the year

Hello all and happy new year, as you all know January and February are my favourite months of the year purely because it is award season, which means the fashion on the red carpet is a go, go, go!!! I'm sure the stars have been planning their outfits for the last month, deciding between Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo or whether the Chanel gown will work better than the Vera Wang. Whatever the choices, were about to see what went down on the red carpet and as always I'll give you my risk takers and best dressed. There are a lot of awards to get through, but lets start with the show that kicks it all off and gets us ready for whats to come, "70th Golden Globes Awards 2013"

The Kardashians are coming to London!!!

If you love and follow the Kardashians just like I do and I'm ALWAYS keeping up with them, you must of heard through the grapevine the sisters have teamed up with Dorothy Perkins to create a fabulous collection and guess what? That kollection is almost here. Launching on the 8th November (3 days away) the "Kardashian Kollection" ranges from sizes 8-16 and fits in with the high-street price points from £25 - £80. The best thing about this kollection is from what I've seen online and looking through the lookbook's, you can tell what clothes are influenced by what Kardashian sister. Take a look at some looks I picked out and see if you can guess which sister they belong to:

The kardashians arrive in the U.K. on Thursday and will be holding a meet and greet at Westfield London on Saturday 10th november. This is the first time all 3 sisters are coming to the U.K. together, the girls will be signing a limited number of autographs for fans from 12.30pm, if you want an autograph you must collect a wristband from Westfield London (White city) you can collect the wristband from 9am. The queue will open from 7am but (no overnight stay is permitted). Only 500 wristbands will be distributed from 9am. If any of you guys go please let me know as I want to hear all your experiences. I'll be making a little video diary of the day which I'll post on here. In the mean time dolls, (in the words of Khloe Kardashian) "shake your tits" and I'll be back soon with more information.

So dance dance, like it's the last last, night of your life life

This isn't my best video but hey I'm just having fun and I'll get better (you'll probably hear some random vocals, it was 12am in the morning). Once again I must thank Charlie for learning this in less than an hour (my homegirl is talented), any suggestions of songs I should sing, please feel free to leave me a comment below, I have in mind my next song. Usher - DJ got us falling in love again is one of my favourite songs of 2011, when I hear it in the club I just want to shake my arse and dance like no one is watching, so right now I'm singing like no one is listening.


I'm wearing a Victoria Secret doodle hoodie and Charlie is wearing a lovely Topshop navy blue silk type shirt.


In no way shape or form am I doing this seriously, I'm simply doing this for fun & to also show people a side that no one has ever seen of me. Hope you enjoy this guys.

Marra Marra

Although my birthday is 4 weeks away I'm more excited (as any girl would be) to go on holiday with the girls to Marrakech in May. Situated in north Africa, Marrakech also known as "Ochre City" is full of culture, sun, Atlas mountain, spa's, hammam (if you don't know what this is, I'll explain in upcoming posts), markets, beautiful belly dancers and so much more. A 4 day getaway can only mean one thing, outfits!!! So excited to do some holiday shopping and be sure to see a post of what I've bought for holiday and of course you guys will get to see not 1, not  2 but 4 girls and our different outfits throughout the trip. Check out our beautiful hotel were staying in found by the one and only Chantelle (aka Kimmy). (All photos in this post are courtesy of tripadvisor.com, I did not take these photos).

May the odds be ever in your favour - Jennifer Lawrence Style

Forget "There's something about Mary" because there is definitely soething about Jennifer Lawrence. After watching "The hunger games" last night with the girls I've been intrigued by this 20 year old oscar nominated chick. On the fashion scene she is one to watch, she isn't afraid of all over detail and very bright bold colours, (which is why I adore her) she always looks comfortable and confident on the red carpet, take a look at a little timeline of my favourite outfits from 2011 - 2012. I remember first seeing Jennifer at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards and was blown away by her choice in colour, detail and showing off a bit of leg. The talented chick has only gotten better and better with her choices on the red carpet, take a look for yourself and see. (All photos are courtesy of google images, I did not take these photos)

When it comes to detail Jennifer will do it from head to toe, looking divine in Marchesa Fall 2012 drop waist red lace dress, 2012 Berlin premiere

If you haven't already go and see this amazing film, I now plan on reading all the books and look forward to the next chapter coming to the big screen.

Bloggers making KONY famous

 5th March saw Youtube bring a video that couldn't possibly ignored. If don't already know who KONY is watch the youtube video below. KONY is a film campaign by the Invisible Children which plans to make Joseph Kony famous, KONY is the leader of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA). Your probably wondering why should we make this war criminal famous, if you watch the video it will explain all. The video is 29 minutes long but it's 29 minutes that you won't forget. Ever since I watched the video I've been inspired, moved and my eyes have now been widely open. Take a look below of the little things I have done that will help the campaign www.kony2012.com

I wanted to do this post because I believe we as bloggers both upcoming and famous can help, by making more and more people aware of the invisible children. We all have a voice, so we need to use it. Every individual can help in a huge way, go online and get the kit, although the kit has been put on hold because of high demand sales you can download the kit.
