I admit this wasn't a movie I was that excited about seeing, but am glad I gave it a chance as I actually really enjoyed it. Inspired by true events, Secretariat is an underdog story about a horse who defies all odds to become one of the most successful racehorses in history, thanks to his owner's determination and refusal to give up. Yes,...

I don't know whether it's because I'm from England, but I've always adored true British Style. To me, Luella (by designer Luella Bartley) epitomises the ultimate poster child for British Cool. I love that her clothes have an air of aristocratic heritage clashed with pop-punk styling, and youthful bravado, to create something fresh, quirky and just a little offbeat. As a massive Luella...

Yes, more new shoes. These arrived the other day along with my Litas, I'd be eyeing them up for sometime and to save on postage I decided to bite the bullet and order them. I'm happy I did because they're even better than I expected. They're incredibly comfortable and a great mid-grey colour x ...

Besides 'The Virgin Suicides' I've never really enjoyed a Sophia Coppola film, but something about 'Somewhere' made me believe I would... I was wrong. In typical Coppola style 'Somewhere' is a film where basically nothing happens, a story that reflects the boredom of a burnt-out movie star holed up in Chateau Marmot. He spends his days aimlessly drinking, smoking and driving his Ferrari;...

these aren't my best photos, but best display the size and scale of the sculptures in comparison to actual people I finally made it to the Ron Mueck exhibition at the Christchurch Art Gallery, and I'm so glad I did. Of course the day I decided to go, it was pouring with rain, so I was joined by the rest of Christchurch. Thankfully...

When I got home yesterday there was Solestruck box waiting for me, and inside my long awaited Litas! I wasn't expecting them until next week so was surprised they arrived early. When opening the box, they surpassed my expectations and were as amazing as I had hoped. Although I have only worn them for a short time so far they are incredibly comfortable...

Over the new year we've been having a huge clear out at our house, I guess it's a very late spring clean considering we are now half way through summer. Although I've found a lot of things I wish I hadn't bought, I have also rediscovered some great items I had completely forgotten about, one of which is this amazing black Moschino belt...

Although I've had the Chanel temporary tattoos for quite some time now, I didn't use many over the winter due to the fact they would be covered up most of the time and unable to be admired. Now summer is here I thought it was time to bring them out again. This time I chose one of the swallows and put it on...

I'm a huge fan of French cinema, and 'LOL (laughing out loud)' is no exception. I watched it for the second time today and am pretty sure I will be seeing it again before the DVD is due back.  Although based around the usual teen movie issues (sex, drugs, parents and friendship) it's refreshing to see a teen movie where everything isn't so...

In typical Thursday tradition, last night Jess and I went to the movies. We saw 'The Dilemma' and I left with exactly that...a dilemma as to whether the film was good or not. So Vince Vaughn isn't really my cup of tea, but his movies are usually pretty funny so at the least I thought I'd get a good laugh. Unfortunately, this wasn't...

One of my resolutions for 2011 was to start my own blog, and here it is. It is something I've been wanting to do for the past two years but could never find the time thanks to a busy (19-hour-days kind of busy) schedule at fashion school. Now that I've graduated I have time to dedicate to my blog which will document the...
