So, a fellow blogger worked and designed cards and various other products (including best sellers) for Marks & Spencers. Then, they copy her design. Like this:

M&S is on the left, her Etched Floral tea towel is on the right. Uncanny right?

That's just too similar to complain, 'They had no idea the design existed.' Bearing in mind Rachel designed for them on a regular basis. Do you think it's fair? 
So what is next? Please sign this petition to help enforce better rules for designers. I am backing ACID all the way and I hope you join me in this fight as this is something that is harming the design world...we need to fight back and be heard! Just under 300 signatures are needed so if you can just take 30 seconds to sign it, you'll be making the world of difference.

Thursday 30th August

Thursday!
Today was interesting. Got some more work done on 'The Project' woo. Since I was fatigued from a loooong day of wetting my pants on rollercoasters the night before. Some freaks from school also called out my name (Well I'm not sure who they were tbh) when I was at the front of a 60minute queue. Then they thought let's Q-jump and try to get with her. Didn't get themselves anywhere. Security took them away for Q-jumping, hahahah. I must point out my name is top secret and not even the name attached to my business email address. Oh well. Back to being fatigued. Fatigued is actually a lovely word to say, fatigued. In french its pronounced 'Fatty gay'. Now then. I was about to have a nice, soothing, relaxing long bath, so was in the bathroom with a book and a glass of citrus, lemonade.I'd put my drink on the floor, but tripped and knocked it over. I shouted, 'Oh, no!' without really thinking about it, and grabbed what I thought was a flannel to start mopping it up quickly and frantically.All of a sudden, my brother and his three friends (who are all in my class) burst into the room.  My brother asked if I was okay, because he'd heard me shouting, so I replied, 'I had an accident'. They all started laughing and I all of a sudden went into a frenzy.  To make matters worse, my 'flannel' was actually a pair of my brother's underpants, which were now dripping wet. Not in that way. He's too young for that, yet. LOL.See ya's for tomorrow.

Tuesday!
Today was interesting. Well today I went bowling. Woo. Surprisingly, I got three spares and won the game! :) But, there's always a but. Ever had a wimpy sibling? Well, he just couldn't take losing. So he was sat there getting all the affection, on the other side of the lane with the other family members. Whilst I was sat- looking at the scoreboard- on my own. Making me look like the evil sister. How rude. We went to a mini golf course aswell, a pirate themed one. With the broken down boats and various obstacles. The obstacle we had to overcome was the people behind us. Sauntering in the minute we were on the specific hole; not our fault we're not Tiger Woods, therefore we take forever. Then when my wimpy, little brother took 7 turns they sniggered to themselves. My Mum had to do a,'Who do you think you are dismaying my children!' thing. Embaressing. Specially when there was a rather attractive bunch of guys behind them. My age, top off, raybans. Phwoar. Then his friends weren't that bad either. But, when you have a crying child next to you. Bit awkward to make eye contact without him thinking, 'Wtf is she doing?!'. A screaming child I must say. It always happens doesn't it. You can be sat in peace, reading a magazine and someone bursts in crying. And you have to do the, 'Fake-Smile-I-Love-You-So-Much-But-Really-Now?' act. If the really hot guy recognises me email me *cough* attach topless photos. See ya's for tomorrow!x

Runway

Elegantly waisted

While fashion's focus remains on the slender waist, the silhouette has softended.Last season's flamboyant peplums give way to beautifully tailored curves and belted middles, creating an hourglass line that is smart and super-feminine. The belt is one the season's big accessory stories, whether cinching a sleek pencil dress - like at Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti, Victoria Beckhamand Dolce & Gabbana - or over winter coats at Chloe, Dior and Rodarte.Follow these tips to ensure you're looking hot this Autumn/Winter:

• Belts are one of autumn's big accessory stories. Wearing yours in the same colour palette as your jacket or dress will elongate the torso rather than breaking it up.
• When cinching coats and heavier jackets, choose an elasticated belt for maximum movement and flexibility.
• The new shapely tailored jackets are an easy way to lend lean, boyish figures the illusion of womanly curves.

Runway

I found this very interesting. Myself, i'm not keen on make-up. But, I do like very accentuated make-up. Like these, 'Graphic Eyes'. Imagine going out with these! A big trend for Autumn/Winter 2012-13 all you need is a black liquid eye liner. *Spreading inspiration!*
     

Sunday 23rd August

Sunday!
Today was interesting. I swear i'm going to throw this laptop against the wall soon! It says I have 'excellent' Internet connectivity, but it's so slow! Honestly, I think my Gran could walk faster than it takes to get a page to load! No offence Gran. But yeah.  I was going to the park and I was going to casually 'bump into' my crush, who I knew was soo going to be there. In a children's playground... Bit of a weird place to hang but hey ho. Parents look at you a bit strange when you run around and scream 'HIGHER, HIGHER!' on the swing. As I walked to the park, I double checked I looked good- like the vain teenager I am (Spots are like devils, poking there red faces everywhere!) . I stopped near a blacked out car window to check my face and realised I had a huge bogey, so with the help of the car window, I quickly picked it out and flicked it away. To my horror, a man rolled down the window and stared at me. I ran all the way to the park, and when I got there my crush said I looked sunburnt. So I acted like I was sunburnt... See ya's for tomorrow!x

Jewel of the day!

Jewel of the day!
Doesn't have to be Moschino, to be Cheap&Chic. I've chosen The Saturdays jewellery again tonight, mainly because at £2.50 it's a rather good collection.Saving 85%. Today is a Crystal Heart Necklace- by The Saturdays. Their jewellery is to fire you up for a night out! You'll be making headlines of your own. See what I did there? :) Ooft, smexy. I like this necklace as it's a statement piece which will transform any outfit. I'd wear this with double denim; over a nice waistcoat. If you're dying to be on the radar, check out this necklace and bedazzle yourself!

The bigger, the more beautiful this autumn, with cocoon coats, pillow-sleeved jackets, billowing trousers and softly structured skirts embeding the collections. "Oversize was the cool new message this season: shoulders were dropped, lengths were long and trousers had low crotches," Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers explains. "It's a look ideal for a confident tomboy who likes to keep things simple, strict and streamlined." The easy way to oversize? Contrast volume with slimline structure in a stylish pairing of opposites. Want to get the look, try these tips?

• Eschew accessories when dabbling in oversized - let your silhouette be the focus.
• Skinny cigarette pants are the perfect partner to a cocoon coat - creating an elegant contrast. Take your cue from Stella McCartney.
• Wear your oversized coat one size up, then belt the waist if you feel a little swamped.

Saturday 25th August

Saturday!

Today was interesting. A few subjects I want to tell today. Firstly- Congratulations to everyone who done well with their GCSE results, including my beautiful cousin, already receiving university offers! If you didn't do so well, meh. Say you walked it. Me on the other hand, oblivious we got them lolol. I was at Thorpe Park, screaming my way. I got texts from friends saying, 'DID YOU DO WELL?'. Yeah I survived Nemesis Inferno, OH YEAH! Then they all gave me miserable emoticons- as if i'm meant to ask how they did, implying they flunked. No thanks. Does bug me when people you haven't spoken to in ages are all 'How are you?' and you reply, 'Fine, you?' and they give you their sad life story. I mean; it's a tad rude, right? Especially if it's someone you don't even talk to at school. I don't get paid to be a counsellor peeps! Jeez. Being at Thorpe Park on results day, shows how much I care about my education. I wasn't going to go into school in my holidays. It was mainly for the higher years anyway. If I did walk in my Mum would probably have a go at staff. If you get good grades, top sets- they put you on a Foundation paper! Fiddle sticks. I'm actually considering hiring a tutor to get A*'s.
Next on the agenda, crushes. Is it appropriate for someone to text behind your back (To your best friend) saying you look like a Kardashian, with big jugs. Oh hell to the naw. Then to comment on your FB picture, ' Probably the best looking girl in school an most likely [Where I live here] x ;)'. Bit creepy.Awkward moment you sit next to them in lessons. Bring on the humiliation. Yeah, not like he's a player... 

Next, SCHOOL BAG IS ORDERED! WOOP! Free delivery. One thing, means school is looming. Dun dun duuuun. See ya's for tomorrow!x

Smokey sizzles

How smokey are these? They do make you wonder...
 

Jewel of the day!

Vogue, vogue. Let your body move with the music, hey hey heeeey. Vintage Vogue correction. Love a bit of vintage. Sold by Sour Cherry (How amazing is that company name?!). Check out this necklace; on a 18 inch silver plated chain. Priced at a slight £7.95, but it's worth the money (as said in the comments). There's only one left in stock, so get buying!

Jewel of the day

Who likes two VINTAGE jewels of the day? I do. Let's look at part one.
Snap, snap! This is for all the show stoppers out there. Who like to capture amazing outfits! Here's Sour Cherry's (AMAZING brand name!) vintage retro camera necklace. Or they do it as a ring format. Imagine doing a fist pound with that, ouchies. Or do a Spongebob and Patrick one, where fireworks happen. lolol. I have to admit, it is rather expensive and way over the £10 budget but, if you still want vintage stay tuned for the next blog post tonight. VINTAGE WAY CHEAPER AFTER!! As £11 on jewellery isn't me either. I'm more, under £3 tbh. Still, if you want a close-up (see what I did there? Camera, close-up) of the camera, click on the link below.

LOL of the day.

Whilst searching for 'Jewel of the day' I came across these howlers:

Shoe fever!

I've decided to post jewellery of the day this week. Today is a 'The Saturdays' shoe charm earrings, which are pretty snazzy indeed. Not that related to The Saturdays, so don't worry if you're not a fan of their music. Only £2. Who likes these babies?
If you want a new pair of shoes, check out these cheap babies! Saving £9!

Tuesday!

Today was interesting. Why is it whenever i'm on a water ride, vigorously splashing my siblings with water, I always end up drenched myself? Quite a funny theory actually. Also a bit awkward when there's a teeny tiny dryer in the toilets, you're there just in weird dance moves trying to dry yourself. When a little girl walks over and can dry herself fully, just by standing there. Hm. Oh well. Awkward moment you have an admirer, who refers you to a Kardashian. Not for the most flattering reasons... Watched a bit of the inbetweeners, the thorpe park episode is hysterical.  Did puzzle me, why disabled people would be allowed on a thrill ride. Anyway. I wore white today, as you do. But. I did also order a chocolate milkshake. Gulped it down and down quickly, just to run to the queue. As I sat down, I noticed it looked like my mouth accommodated a chocolate fountain down my crisp, white t-shirt. How delectable. Oh well. Bought my new school pencil case and school bag! I'm thinking of actually doing a 'haul' with it. Maybe. See ya's for tomorrow! x

Marilyn Monroe!

This has made my day today. I'm part of the Marilyn Monroe 50th Anniversary fan mosaic! I'm still not sure whether to buy the mosaic yet, but I might hint it for my birthday next month. (Mum if you're reading today...). Anyway, the mosaic itself is a picture of Marilyn Monroe, but if you look closer it's made up of love. Love meaning her beautiful, devoted fans. My Nanny used to have an Elvis one of these, pretty cool stuff! The finished picture is this < And i'm the yellow highlighted bit on her curls!
I'm row 39! If you would like to purchase the fan mosaic check out fanmosaics.com.

Byee!x Remember to check out my clothing line! http://www.districtlines.com/xxxfashionqueenxxx1

Vintage galore!

I love this little fella! And he keeps getting reduced in price, bless him. He's only 99p now, he used to be around £2. If you would like to home 'Owlie' (Just a name!) click on the link now. Maybe I should post cheap accessories this week? Comment if you'd like that xx

Happy Birthday Coco Chanel!Coco Chanel (Born Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel) was born 128 years ago, in France, in 1883. Her house syle og monochrome to her oversized 'costume' pearls and cuffs, everything is still sublimely, continuously referenced. As she herself once said: "Fashion fades, only style remains the same." A quote everyone agrees with, myself included. She created very masculine but comfortable pieces for women. Including the revolutionary 'Little black dress' and various other objects like bell bottoms and nautical stripes. Did you know her collection did not take off until she was 55 years old and had just come out of retirement? 
The famous Chanel No5 scent is the best selling in the world. A hit with my idol, Marilyn Monroe. Who also starred in an advertisement for the perfume.
The interlocking Cs of Coco Chanel remain one of the ultimate brand insignia.
Since 1983, Chanel has been designed by Karl Lagerfeld
 The building where her apartment is in Paris was bought by Chanel in 1920, and still houses the ground-floor shop, the haute couture workrooms in the attic (where 100 seamstresses still work entirely by hand), and what is now Karl Lagerfeld's study 
If you haven't seen the movie, Coco Before Chanel I suggest you do! Finishing with a classic quote:

Wow! It's been 100 years of Fashion Illustration! 100 Years of pretty designs. Just look at the cover and you see you're on to a winner. What I love about Amazon is you can also have a little peak inside the book- before you purchase it. Which is great as you don't want to purchase something rubbish but at the same time you want to purchase something too good to be true. Check out these beautiful illustrations:

It's almost ArrayO'Style's first birthday! How should we celebrate? x

I want one of those!
'Are you dying to be famous...? It seems that every girl in Soundview wants to be a model, singer or actress. They all need super-glam photos for agents and scouts – which works out perfectly for Shelby's photographer dad. He makes a fortune taking pictures of these wannabes ... until the girls start to disappear and he is accused of murder. Shelby knows her dad is innocent and is determined to prove it, and that means finding the real killer.' Hooked? Check out this new novel by Todd Strasser.

Moschino

Moschino presents a brand new, pink perfume called, 'Pink Bouquet'. A new fragrance lively and Summery from the Italian brand. The summer, despite the weather there is still favorable, is almost upon us and choose a perfume that fits at the temperatures sultry is not a simple choice. The fragrance itself is sweet, floral and romantic without being so overly sweet, the perfect Summer fragrance. As you can see from the beautiful ad campaign, staring America model Kendra Spears. because, like Pink Bouquet, she's "bubbly but sweet and romantic at the same time," says Moschino creative director. Launching in Europe this June and in the U.S. and other regions in 2013 (so unfair, we know), the new scent caters to young women with a weakness for fruity, floral elixirs and heart-shaped packaging. “It’s for all women who think, love, and live ‘in pink,’" Giovanni Sgariboldi, president of Moschino licensee Euroitalia.

Wednesday 15th August

Wednesday!
Today was interesting. I decided to sneak into a 15 today with my friends, and there older brothers. So we actually got in this time to see the hilarious movie. I was at the cinema with my mates and a group of cute boys from my class, and we were all having a great time. I knew one of them fancied me aswell, all the more great! After getting some drinks and popcorn, as we headed to our screening (trying not to drop the popcorn), I heard someone calling my name...I turned round to see my grandma heading towards us - great. Grandma knew about the cinema? Grandma goes to the cinema? #Worrying I had a big cup of cola in my hand, and because my grandma hates me drinking sugary things in case they rot my teeth, she started shouting at me, saying, 'What are you doing with a fizzy drink after lunchtime?! I'm telling your mum!' Yet she allows me to go to her aladdins cove of sweet things. All nans seem to have big fridges filled with crap. When I got home, my Mum laughed and was all, 'You naughty girl. What was Nan doing at the cinema?'.The mystery remains. Guess what? There was also a community fair on today. It really emphasised the word community. There were charity stalls throughout. My sister came back with a bag full of muffins  and free pens. NONE for me. She even gloated, 'They had free flapjacks'. So I went, and the people looked at me like I was speaking alien. No-one can keep me away from free cake. So, since the little sis didn't get me any. I made muffins for everyone but her. Oh then she was jealous. See ya's for tomorrow! x

Love these!

Peace, love, Juicy!

I'm loving these little, beauty gift sets. They feature: perfume, body creme and shower gel for a tidy £10.95. Look how beautiful the box is! I really do love the way Juicy Couture present their products, have you seen their perfume bottles? They are around something silly like £50, they probably do smell divine but I prefer cheap, gift sets myself. There's two types; which are both very close to selling out soon!

And! If you are tight but still want something Juicy Couture to show off, you can purchase a pouch with a skin cream for only......

£1.16!

Today was interesting. Do you get it when you're doing a Beyonce style move on Zumba in the privacy of your own bedroom, then your little sister's boyfriend just happens to walk past your room and peak in? I have a feeling my sister is dating peeping Tom. Good for her. Although, when she's on Skype to her ex boyfriend when her current one's sitting right next to her... awkward. She seems to get all the guys and she's only 11! His bike got stolen aswell, haha serves him right for peeping in at my workout. Can't a girl shimmy in peace! Doesn't satisfy me that at that point, I was trying to drink a big mouthful while moving. So the water splashed down my t-shirt, making it look like I had been having a sweat session. I had been doing it for 20 minutes, but I was in a dark t-shirt so it wouldn't of shown. But, water exposes itself! Like my picture? I had a play about on photoshop. Went for the shiney effect.

Can't wait to see Kate Moss on the catwalk tonight. I'll only be tuning in for the fashion show, then i'll tune in to the gypsy fashion show. I'll admit, Thelma's gypsy show has been my guilty pleasure. My Mum's is The Only Way Is Essex- I'm sure its yours too. She always turns it on and says she's only watching it because, 'You have to see it to believe it' and it's funny. Those gypsies on Thelma have loads of Lipsy stuff, i'm just sat their thinking, 'Mum...'. See ya's for tomorrow! The day the whole of England returns to crap TV.

Cool Cobalt! 

IT would be unjust to pay homage to autumn's favourite primary without referencing the dressing down Meryl Streep gave Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada. It was a monologue that opened our lexicon to what laymen would have once called 'blue'."You go to your closet and you select that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent , who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers." And so she went on.  When the autumn shows rolled out in February, it was clear designers hadn't quite cast off thoughts of their upcoming summer holidays. An ocean of azure washed over the catwalks, making a bold statement for winter where elsewhere traditional autumnal hues of forest green, earthy burgundy and midnight navy dominated.
