'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek' Thats what I mostly said for about an entire week before Decembers issue of the very fab mag Stellar came out, 8 of us bloggers had been asked by Stellars lovely fashion editor Corina Gaffey to be interviewed and photographed for an article entitled 'A passion for fashion'.

Above is my page, yup thats right, we each got a full page hence the eeeeeeeeeeekkkkk. I need not have been too worried tho as the Stellar team did a great job on the article and on representing each of our various styles.

Decembers issue of Stellar is still very much available in newsagents until mid next month for the recession kicking price of 2 euros.

Get in.

Liberty Blue

Whilst at Off the Rails in the RDS on Sunday I chanced across a great little boutique called Liberty Blue which I was told is located up north at 19-21 Lombard Street, Belfast.

Gorgeous trinket necklaces, hats, brooches, hair slides and clothes were displayed amongst pictures of Debbie Harry, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Their stand was really pretty and I had to pop on the internet afterwards to check them out. Their website seems to be under construction but you can take a peek at their myspace on the above link.

Check out these beauts.....

Gorgeous. I want both please.

Nice work Chung one

I got a bit of a dose of Alexa envy today when I saw this picture of her..........

She manages to pull off the cutest clothes whilst anyone else might look like they have plundered a three year olds wardrobe whilst they were in playschool.

More examples of her skills over time........

Damn you Chung, you win this one.

Bourjois have totally stolen my heart with these beautiful limited edition make up pots containing their most in demand eye and cheek colours.

The Bourjois range first used and made popular by Parisian actresses in the mid nineteen century have just released a limited edition collection called 'Rendez-Vous A Paris'. With the help of French artist and illustrator, Nathalie Lete each pot is adorned with a picture perfect postcard view of everyones favourite fashion mecca the wonderful city of lights that is Paris.

I believe they are currently only available exclusively from ASOS but keep an eye out for them as they will make a pretty addition to anyones make up bag.

New Choo's???

This coming saturday November 14th sees the launch of a one off collaboration between affordable high street giant H&M and shoe legends Jimmy Choo.

Tamara Mellon has exclusively designed a Jimmy Choo collection for the Swedish high street brand encompassing womens shoes, bags, jewellery and even a capsule collection of womenswear pieces and a collection of shoes for men to boot (pun intended).

Since Tamara Mellon launched the brand in 1996, Jimmy Choo has represented independence, power and femininity.

Now the luxury shoes will be available for to all women who wanted to be a part of this universe but were not able to afford it and that’s defo a brilliant brilliant thing especially in the 'current climate' as they say.

“The H&M customer is slightly younger, yet we wanted to stay true to what Jimmy Choo is,” says Mellon. “There is a sense of rock chick but always with added elegance. The Jimmy Choo AW ’09 collection had a big Debbie Harry and chic punk-rock inspiration—leopard, neon studs—so that was our starting point. We were not sure at first whether we could use real leathers, studs, crystals, and rivets, but when we found what was possible, it completely exceeded our expectations.”

Pop to the H&M website (link is in the list to your left) for details on stores stocking this collection and to view the strict 'crowd control' plan. seriously.

My two favourite pieces from the collection are below. Im currently having a bit of a bag moment so these clutches caught my beady eyes.........

Pink Cutch - Jimmy Choo for H&M €59.95

Black 100% leather Clutch - Jimmy Choo for H&M €99

Happy Shopping!!

Movember - well you're no Tom Selleck, yet.

Movember is about bringing the moustache back and having some fun for a very serious cause - prostate cancer. It is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issue's, specifically prostate cancer. Mo Bros, start Movember (November 1st) clean shaven and then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache.
Now in its second year, we are all looking forward to seeing Mo Bro's & Sista's embrace the Mo once again.

This year Im leppin' on the bandwagon by supporting my good friend's Cian and Jose in their tash growing tribulations, follow their effort at the link above.

The boys are currently cultivating some serious furry facial art work all for the cause.

Look at their little clean shaven baby faces, how could ya not love it?.............

Jose Before/ After.....Hes bringing 'taches back

Cian Before/ After.........Hes growin a ronnie for your money

Fasion Bloggers shoot for Stellar magazine

Hello all, here are a few pic's from a photoshoot I took part in for an editorial on fashion blogger's for December's upcoming edition of Stellar magazine which should be in shops mid November.

We had a lovely morning being pampered by the girl's from Make up Forever and the wonderful Maurice Flynn, hairdresser extrodinaire.

Corina Gaffey, Stellar's fashion editior took on the probably exhausting task of interviewing all five of us bloggers before we were snapped by the fabulous photographer Lili Forberg wearing the finest threads.

I met some lovely fellow fashion bloggers on the day, these are some casual photo's taken by myself and find links to their blog's below.........
