camel-toes are in fashion...


Just purchased these beauties from Topshop!! After 'touching them up' for the fourth time in the last two weeks I thought it was about time to think about saying "goodbye" to my summer tribal flats and "hello" to these triple trend ticking booties.

  • style= wedge-heeled ankle boots with military style strappings
  • shade= camel
  • made of luxe fabric (minimalist trend)
YES!! that's not one, not two, BUT three trends in one to get me through the beginning of autumn....I plan on living in them!

(that is until I cave in once the winter freeze kicks in and buy some heeled, shearling lined hiking boots)

but here's to being faithful to the camel-toes until then

'Hey, Goose, you big stud...take me to bed or lose me forever'



This Autumn/Winter we are all set to channel our inner 'Top Gun' with leather sheepskin lined aviator jackets(as seen below at Burberry)
The Aviator jacket is a massive A/W style statement that's been seen across the board from Burberry to Giles...even gracing the gossip girl shoulders of Blake Lively.


Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks amazing wearing it (as usual), I however am not blessed with model-like proportions so will be avoiding the over-sized and 'boxy' looking bombers by getting in on the trend with either a trusty leather biker jacket edged with shearling (like the street style 'Maverick' below)


or in my dreams these sheepskin lined Mui Mui platform boots....
The Aviator flying jacket is destined to be a style-hunter's wardrobe essential for A/W 2010
So wrap yourself in leather and luxe shearling with a superabundance of straps and buckle detailing for a safe landing that will take you straight through to Winter xoxo

Benicassim, Spain 2010...The sunshine festival!!

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to be in Spain and attend the Benicassim festival 2010.

Benicassim festival (a.k.a FIB) is an amazing week-long camping experience. With art displays short film exhibitions, dance performances and not forgetting the four-day music festival (line up including Kasabian, the Prodigy, Mumford and sons and rising star Ellie Goulding plus many more)that ends an amazing week of culture, fashion and perfect spanish weather.
Sun-drenched days spent on the sands, beach front dance displays and short film exhibitions at night. With the music starting at 6pm and carrying on until 6am (to avoid the spanish 35 degree heat!). A perfect opportunity to get 'snap-happy' and trend-spot.

As the four-day music festival began the fashionistas were out in force. The outfits ranged from practical, cool and as small as possible to high-fashion leather.


Not forgetting an appearance from H&M in a pop-up store...mixing fashion with an important message 'FASHION AGAINST AIDS'.


Below- effortless, laid-back cool and LOVE the necklace (want!)


Mini-celeb-spot 1= Lauren McAvoy- Britain's next top model winner (cycle 3). Her make-up was 'perfection' which is amazing considering the sweltering spanish heat.

Min-celeb-spot 2= Ellie Goulding at Valencia Airport on return journey. I may have told her I loved her a little too enthusiastically...


The week was truly amazing...so as i left my tent behind in tatters, a leopard-print condom in my hand-luggage(courtesy of H&M), embellished gladiators hanging by a thread onto my dirty feet and amazing memories to last me the rest of the summer I know I will definitely return next year to the oh-so-fashionable 'sunshine festival'! xoxo
