New York Fashion Week started today, I have had a brief look at videos and this time round I think I'll just do grouped powerpoints. :) Should do this weekend.

Advent calender!

It's a week till Valentines day, or if you're single just a normal Thursday. To celebrate this I thought I'd do a countdown each day; posting a pink/red themed item each day. Today's kinda cheating.
On the 1st day of St. Valentines Day, Cupid gave to me...

A Pink CD!
Featuring all her hits over the last 10 years, including Like a pill, Get The Party started and Perfect. The album is under £5 so there's no excuse to let loose and get Pink-fied. Click the link below to check out awesome product reviews if you're unsure :)

Juicy lover

Peace, love, Juicy!

I've probably posted these bargains too many times, but they are great and Juicy does make me happy. So do bargains. Always under £10 on here, but at £10.95 the gift sets are still bargains. This time round I've found a Juicy Caviar bath soak.

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!

Just enquiring, who would be interested if I interviewed actual models? Been contemplating it- if there's lots of interest I'll have to check my contacts :)

Model 'Monday'

Hi girls and if I have male readers, hello to you to!

Models Monday, probably happens on Tuesday more than Mondays. But today I wanted to focus on Kelly Mittendorf. I've only recently come across her; but I'm really glad I did. A Premier girl; Premier girls are on a high at the moment (Bambi, Karen Pedaru, Cora Emmanuel, Julia Nobis, Wang Xiao and fellow blogger, Leomie Anderson) and I'm sure they'll be all over fashion week.

Some people may look at girls like Kelly and Daphne and think they're 'ugly'. This is an issue I would like to raise today. Models are models. Models rarely look like your neighbours, friends, etc. Their looks are eccentric, unique and different. As the saying goes, 'Everyone has beauty, but not everyone sees it' is a perfect fit for the modeling world. As a globe, we are totally oblivious to these kinds of looks- models normally have a variety of nationalities and very different ethnic backgrounds. Kelly's American (Haven't seen Americans looking like her at all) but she has traces to Germany, Sweden and her Grandma was adopted. So she could also go down Norwegian or Icelandic roots- like her eye shape perhaps. Daphne's Dutch but has traces elsewhere too. High fashion is never commercial looking, it's fierce.

What also makes it worse is that people feel it's necessary to bully the models over the Internet. Is it fair that when you Google 'Kelly Mittendorf' ugly comes up as the fourth most searched term? I don't think so. Ugly doesn't book you modelling jobs. The more appropriate term is 'unique' or 'lasting'. It's unsettling to find on the same blog hate towards a supermodel. If you're going to bully- you don't gain anything. Why bother bullying someone who's booked: Emporio Armarni, Muse, Versus, Givenchy, Dior Addict (where there has been many Google searches enquiring who the face of this campaign was), Calvin Klein, Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Gucci... plus more. So let's be honest, everyone has beauty.

So do not discriminate against others; I'm sure supermodels with an army of supporters (and designers ready to book  them) don't need anyone to bring them down. Neither would you like someone bringing you down.
 

This Babe's got butter

This Babe's got butter

As I was browsing through my phone, I came across some snazzy pictures of the products I won from a giveaway; which I hadn't reviewed yet (forgetful me). I did the interview with Tanina from Babe&Butter, but didn't get round to reviewing the products!

Well I won a contest on another blog (BlueEyedOwl I think) and I was over the moon as beforehand, I saw Babe&Butter's products and knew I had to own some. Down to the superpowers of social networking, I tracked down the contest and now own the 'Caked Up' make-up bag and the fashion art badges. The designs are: Balloons in the city, Magic Kingdom and Masquerade.

The badges

Make-up bag

The bag itself is white and made from thin fabric- so if I'm honest I wouldn't put a lot of make-up in there. My make-up box is a mess and with white, well it would show up. However, I'm sure I could use it for my jewelry :) But with the bag, the design is very eye-catching and different to the normal fashion shots. You can't really see it on the picture (first time the camera's let me down!) but the colours are very vivid and sharp. The bags come in a variety of designs from saucy 'Sex Pot' to cool 'Spray Paint Socialite'. These are all $20 and Babe&Butter do ship to the UK!  

The badges are a cute addition to my blazer and I shall be wearing the Masquerade one to my outfit; at a Masquerade fashion event I'm attending this year. Badges are an awesome way to 'Upcycle' an outfit, just by  wearing a badge. The badges are super cheap at $3 for a set of 3, making them a cheap way to upgrade anything. From a backpack to a blazer. 

Babe&Butter are the company for you if you're a heel-a-holic! Who isn't?
