Basically an exciting way to find out new music, you could of never heard of before on a monthly basis, keeping the legacy of the mixtape/playlist alive and a chance to get creative as members are encouraged to be creative with their mixtape design.

You can sign on my link below the picture, When you have signed up you will recieve a new mixtape from another member each month and be sent an address to send your completed mixtape to! like swapping presents!!Whats not to love! I cant wait to get crafty!!

Happy Weekend!

The weekend is finally here and everything has finally become a little less hectic, I will overload you with my recent ventures tomorrow. The snow is back and I cant help but feel a little flutter in my stomach this time last year i would have just got back from New York. The city that never sleeps and by far my favourite city I have visited.


Snowed in, in china time.

Photographer... Annie Leibovitz








I love this disney series, by Annie Leibovitiz, She has to be one of my favourite photographers. Especially this disney series she has done with Disney.  Can you spot which celebrities have been transformed into some of Disneys finest??

Grey skies, Dull days....

January has to be the dullest of months, Its dark when you wake up and dark when we hit the hay, everything just seems to have a grey glace on it.
With everything so dull outside I have be looking into S/S11 collections for this upcoming season. They have defiantly brightened my day.

One of my favourites,  has to be Betsey Johnsons collection, the energetic designer has most certainly stayed true to her love of colour, and print this season.
Betsey Collection provides us almost with a view of the mix of street styles within the city that never sleeps. From the street styles of New York where models wore highly slogan garments and bold accessories such bike chains.  The takes a trip to the upper east of the city where the models pouffed ball gowns, certainly something that the gossip girls would be seen in.

Here are some of my favourites...

Happy 2011

Happy 2011...........

Most certainly the happiest picture from the festive period, loving the fake snow I am. I thought I best do a post before the festive season officially ends on the 6th as my mother says.
"No decors after the 6th or you get a year of bad luck" 
I certainly don't want to jinx it.

So this year, I am going to try an be more active in  every way possible, I don't want to make any resoultions as I know most things happen unexpectedly so what will be will be....
 However things am going to live by..

  • Try and love your self as how is any one else meant to like you if you dont like yourself.
  • Embrace Change - It will always happen.
  • Try new things, stop been so scared of everything!
  • Oh and my biggest thing is tone up - I will do the 10k this year!! Training starts on Monday.

Traditional trend

It's nearly that time of year, that everything gets a little bit more coated in glitter, a little bit more homely, and a little bit more jolly. My favourite time of year its always a red season when christmas is around. Crafts and gifts are at there high point so it makes sense for fashion to embrace the traditional tartan that is always a hit to keep us warm during the winter months. Mac have embraced tradition with there Fall/ Winter collection.



Macs VIVA GLAM collection  "A Tartan Tale" is perfect for the festive holiday, and is available in stores now. Its defiantly on my christmas list.
