Beyond Time

Loving this watch! The D&G Medicine watch which has proven to be a savvy accessory which sold out in most stores and still out selling. Being a reminder of the BBC's 3am stand by TV screen or 'Test Cards' which made me actually remember the times when there virtually was nothing to watch! I forgot there was such thing! The Medicine watch comes in various strap styles whether its gold, silver or leather strap adding that lego 80's characteristic to every new mod outfit.

Girls version please D&G?? 

Bartie's Boutique

Bartie's Boutique is something I literally stumbled across online. Being someone who likes to visit every christmas craft fair going in my area I'ld like to share my new found experience with Bartie's Boutique and why Boutique's really do offer the best customer satisfaction.

Bartie's is an arts and crafts Saturday boutique which sell the most unusual yet lovely gift ideas that you wouldnt find anywhere else. Their philosphy is to bring the very best of arts and crafts under one roof at St Paul's in Worthing, Sussex. Donations from each event go towards the Breast Cancer Research charity. Even though its only on a Saturday event in Sussex on designated dates, they too have an online presence also for those who live out of Sussex.

I ordered a personalised limited edition vintage Scrabble board picture item where I requested a three name collage. Since first ordering straight away I had great communication in exactly what I want, how I want it too look and when I need it delivered by. Bartie's very kindly mocked up ideas of what it could look like and emailing photos for me to choose which one I would prefer. Even when half way through my order changing one of the names with no problems whatsoever.

I absolutely loved the item when it was delivered and really appreciated the time and effort Bartie's gave me to ensure I was happy with my item. To the final and last point of carefully gift wrapping my picture with ribbon and including a vintage style paper post tag and a complimentary gift card.

I would highly recommend and hope they expand and do events closer to London. Best of luck to Bartie's!

Delilah

Delilah... The new fresh face on the music scene since Adele first made her British impact with her first album '19'. Delilah's name is literally buzzing at the moment. After some background knowledge and learning that at just 19 years old she is already writing and producing her own music and has written over 100 tracks influenced by the emotions she expresses through her life time. Growing up within a musical household and creating her own stagename (real name Paloma) Delilah will be the one to watch for.

I am Absolutely loving her new single 'Go' with the iconic verse taken from Chaka Khan's 'Aint no body' which any of my friends would say is my all time favourite. Currently working alongside Chase & Status on tour and being vocalist for the single 'Time', Cant wait to hear more from Delilah!

watch the official video and get literally swallowed by her unique style. Perhaps a good influence for Janet Devlin to look up and take note!

Delilah - 'Go'



Quote of the day...

October's first issue of Grazia magazine showed an article on Cheryl Cole's up coming debut collaborating with stylistpick.com for a new shoe collection inspired by Cheryl's own shoe collection.

Since online media was a main focus for me at university, Cheryl Cole has stated a reason to perhaps switching to online than to the traditional brick-a-morter's. Would you agree?

"I love fashion. I love net-a-porter.com. I'm all about shopping online because i hate changing rooms. why do they do that to us? Those horrible lights, unflattering mirrors, I prefer to try my stuff on at home. But not everyone can afford net-a-porter, which is why I really wanted to get involved with stylistpick.com" 

Versace for H&M

If it hasnt been heard yet H&M have again collaborated with the next designer Versace for a one off collection launching November 17th.

From the collections lookbook it has a very Henry Holland theme running through with Holland's S/S11 plam tree prints and bright greens.

  

Or even references from McQueen's S/S10 collection of snakeskin print formation.

   

Tweet Tweet!

Whether it was because it was the last episode of Towie or just the notion of daily practice to constantly check my Twitter as much now as I check my Facebook page. I realise that my use for Twitter is growing more. Not really understanding what Twitter was all about when first registering my account and still to this day not sure the use of the # tag actually is viable (yet I still use it at the end of every tweet).

Even though the most are already saying Twitter will over take Facebook. I'm not so sure. Being with Twitter I still can proberly count the amount of Tweets I've done on one hand, yet I use it everyday near enough at any moment I get a break. As much as its broken the boundaries of socially interacting with your favourite celebs and favourite brands, and getting that excitement that  you know exactly where they are, what their doing and who else their friends with, my posts stick to Facebook. Both have their very separate qualities;

Twitter is a simple forum which gives news fast and instant, one worded sentences is all it needs whereas Facebook seems like it needs more of a story to go with the post. The format is 'busier' compared to Twitter.

For now Twitter is my instant gratification. Facebook can remain my lifestory diary.
