Manhattan Skyline

Hyline view of the Manhattan skyline

It really is the most amazing, busiest place that I've ever visited. I don't think I've ever walked so much in my life, the realisation that Manhattan is actually an island and not just a figure of speech, and the total opposites of the upper east side to downtown Manhattan and the Meat Packing district. I've just fallen so in love with it all. 

Topshop Make Up: Lipstick in All About Me

Having the flagship Topshop located across the road from your university is very tempting, but this week I've actually been good and managed to venture in and only splash out on a vest and this lipstick!

I haven't invested in a bright pink lipstick for a while and felt like I needed a new summer shade, last year was the lush Costa Chic from MAC Cosmetics, and now I'm in love with the (slightly cheaper yay) All About Me from Topshop Make Up. 

It's a lustrous bright pink, fuchsia enough to attract attention, and rosy enough to fit in with whatever you're wearing. It's available for £8 from Topshop and the John Lewis beauty counter, and it's definitely my new obsession. 

Hope you're all fab.

Hello Danilo Event

I was lucky enough to be invited down to the Danilo Gabrielli 'Hello Danilo' event by the smashing folk at Katch PR on Thursday night at No. 5 Cavendish House. 

Danilo was educated at the Accademia Pistoiese in Rome in Fashion and Costume Design before moving to New York where he spent many years pursuing his fashion design career whilst working for several high end labels and has finally launched his own self titled line!

This AW 12 collection was inspired by the glamour of the 1940s, Hollywood, Greta Garbo, and the growth of feminism with women in the workforce all playing vital parts in his inspirations. This resulted in a contrasting collection combining masculine styles with classic femininity. 

The collection was beautiful, the combination of contrasting textures, silhouettes, and gorgeous autumn colours resulted in a fab collection and such a fun launch party! 

But of course, what would any fashion show be without the hilarious Stu Bradley of Not So Lonely Londoners giving his 'The Flamingo' of his Fashion Blogger poses on the catwalk (well not quite...)
