Mischa Barton opens store in London

 

On August the 8th the gorgeous Mischa Barton launched her new store in Spitalfields Market. She invited some very reputable guests to the event, including Kate Middleton's brother James Middleton, who already has four companies under his belt, also by her side supporting her was her new beau Sebastian Knapp.

Earlier this year Mischa launched her wesbite which sells vinatge-style skirts, leggings, feminine frocks and key signature pieces and more. Her store oficially became open to the public on Saturday, 11th August, where fans could come down and meet and greet her between the hours of 1pm and 4pm! Apparently there is something for everyone when it comes to Barton's designs, young and fun to mature and sophisticated.



Autumn/ Winter trends 2012: What's in?

OK, so here is a little bit about what I have found to be the most trending apparel and accessories for this coming Autumn and Winter seasons!

In New York, for fashion week designers were seen to be using an array of the usual, sometimes boring, winter colors; brown, black, taupe, winter white, gray and dark blue. The designers have also given us a glimpse of the more exciting, bold colors, using these mainly for their evening wear collections, pastels are also sticking around in the evening wear collections in pretty pastel pinks and blue tones - I can almost visualize the perfect floaty girly dress now!

Deep jewel tones are the way to go this Autumn/ Winter!

Make your coat a statement next season! If you are without a statement coat then now is the time to go out and grab yourself one (or soon!). Coats that are different in any way are going to be big next season, whether it's the material, the print, or the way it's made with parts disproportional, I'm loving this long coat from Topshop so loveable AND affordable!

Big and bold bangles are going to be big for Autumn and Winter, whilst you're at it make sure to pick up some bangles if you haven't any already! For this season we may see some Gothic looking jewelry finding it's way to our mainstream stores, mainly in the form of pendants!

 

The Fedora is one of the BIGGEST trends! It's squirmed it's way back into fashion! So make sure you aren't seen without one of these for this season! The Fedora hat is an amazing accessory for Winter, pair it with your statement coat and you have one amazing and bang on trend look going on there! Plus how warm will you be?!

 

Halle Berry is taken to hospital after accident!

Halle Berry has been rushed to hospital in LA, the accident occurred on Tuesday whilst the actress was filming on the set of her new movie. It is confirmed that Berry is well and after being properly checked over has been released, it seems she suffered a minor head injury after accidentally bumping her head! 

Berry needs to keep out of harms way if she is to avoid missing out on any other important appearances as she had to miss the Academy Awards as a result of a broken foot whilst sunning on holiday.

HOW TO: Party in heels ALL night long!

Ok, so I know most girls out there worry about their feet hurting in heels wether it be on a night out or at work so here is a few tips and products that can help!

#1: Buy a pair of comfy roll up pumps! They take up hardly any space and are perfect for being held in a clutch or bag so are great for that desperate drunken journey to the taxi. If you're a bit strapped for cash you can use your smallest most bendable pumps.

#2: The Party Feet Pamper Pack - Their ultra slim invisible gel cushions should cushion your feet and make the shoes more comfortable. It also comes with Party Feet Beauty Cream formulated with almond oil and vitamin E.

#3: Wear the heel around the house the day before as much as possible, so you break them in and also can figure out where they rub the most.

#4: Put anti-perperant on your feet before you go out, your feet sweat so they are going to slide about and will cause friction.. not good, getting some gel liners can also help, they should help to keep your foot in the right place.

 #5: Put a couple of different sized plasters in your bag/clutch just incase your heel or toes start rubbing.

#6: Try to take smaller steps! If you can afford it share a taxi with your friends to avoid walking to venues or just be very nice to a family member/ boyfriend and hope for the best.

#7: Although it's tempting to buy the cheaper pair of heels from places like Primark/New Look/Ebay etc. a well made pair of shoes can be a lot better for your feet, you do have to spend a little more but it's worth it in the long run, they will also last you a lot longer.

#8: Pamper your feet! They carry you around all day, everyday! So relax, soak them in hot water and try to con a friend or partner into massaging your tender tootsies.

#9: Though it is not always convenient to wear flats, you need to do it to give your feet a break. If you need to wear heels at work try investing in a pair of midi heels, or at the very least wedges that will spread out the weight being exerted on your feet.

The Nelly Launch - FREE HEELS!

Ok, so if I told all you girls out there that you could go down to a very sleek, stylish club near you, and enjoy drinks, nibbles and FREE shoes for the first 150 girls through the doors? What would you do? Scream? I think so. Especially when you know that some of the shoes retail at £49.95!


When I heard about this event I just had to go. So basically Nelly is the Swedish equivalent of ASOS and the team are trying to introduce themselves to the rest of the world. I went along and paid my £3 entry to JAVA in Bristol, on the guestlist, which I though was fair considering I was about to get a pair of high quality heels for FREE! The drinks were cheap (considering I have just returned from London), so I couldn't complain. Upon entering I was handed a small card on which I was told to note down the name and colour of the shoe I wanted and then enter it into their laptops they had set to one side along with my name and address. They would have them sent to me within 1 month! I didn't think the night could have gotten much better, but they also handed me a small voucher for a goody bag to be given out later on the night. By the time I had had a few drinks, entered the data for my totally FREE shoes and walked around the glass cabinets filled with gorgeous shoes, once again, I received my free goody bag, inside was lingerie, some Maybelline make-up, £20 off their store online and a couple of other items, not much but a nice touch, I thought. Nelly are still touring the UK so check out their website and RSVP for a chance to win free VIP tickets to an event near you so you are definitely one of those first 150 girls!
