"The Eye Has To Travel" Official Trailer [HD]: Diana Vreeland's 50 Years...
Cant wait for this documentary! coming out in September. Diana Vreeland was the original Devil Wears Prada, ruling fashion long before Anna Wintour, She discovered Twiggy and also advised Jackie O. Diana proclaimed herself as the "One and only fashion editor". I think the documentary will be very interesting and give us all an insight into Harper's Bazaar and Vouge in the early days. I feel its gonna be a good one!

D.I.Y Shirt
Hey Guys!
Since the weather has been soo bad so far this summer, it's hard to find things to keep me occupied, so i decided to try a few little D.I.Y projects to keep me sane while spending so much time indoors! So here's the first one, I picked up a plain cream sleeveless shirt in new look and decorated the pockets and collar in rhinestones, they were meant to be all gold but i miss counted how many stones to go on each side so I had to change plan by adding pink stones also ;-)
Also I have ordered some leather and studs from ebay in which I plan to make a bag out of...I will keep ye posted on how that turns out.
So here is the how the upcycling of my shirt went! let me know what ye think ;-)

This weeks best dressed!
Hey All, ;-)
This weeks best dressed has to go to Blake Lively, she looks amazing as always but has put in the extra effort to promote her new Movie Savages. I so wish I had her wardrobe! Unfortunately I don't think that is going to happen any time soon, but its not all bad news as I think its possible to get a similar look from the high street at much more affordable prices ;-)
Do you think Blake deserves the best dressed of the week title? Let me know what ye all think!
From top- Zuhair Murad illusion dress, floral panelled dress, emerald and black lace Marios Schwab dress, fuchsia baby-doll Lanvin dress,pale blush Jenny Packham, crisp white Marchesa dress,yellow pleated silk halter-neck Gucci gown , Red Michael Kors Suit.
Get the Look
...or something like it
Bye for now ;-)

Red Suit Mania!!
Hey Gals,
So I have recently discovered that red suits are becoming quiet a trend in Celeb world, red is also going to be a big colour this Autumn/winter but I don't think I will be wearing much red as I think it would clash with my auburn hair, however I think it would work really well with blond or dark brown/black hair. Blake Lively pulled the look off effortlessly, adding a black vest and and louboutin shoes to her Michael Kors Suit to break up the colour a bit.
Another celeb following the trend is Rihianna, although i prefer Blakes tailored suit, I also like the retro feel to Rihanna's! I think its a welcome change to see Rihianna covered up a lil bit, but somehow I don't think she will keep this look for long!
I think Heidi Klum's look was a tad over kill with the matching shoes, what do ye think??
Feel free to comment!

Ebay.ie Stylist Comp
Hey Guys,
I recently entered a competition on ebay.ie to win a chance to style their online fashion week which takes place from the 18th-22nd of June. To be in with a chance to win I had to upload photos of two styled outfits, so Through out my first year of college some of my assignments consisted of styling photoshoots under certain themes, so I decided I would use some of the Photos I had already produced, What do ye Think? ;-)
