Last Saturday, I flew to Milan for the Dolce and Gabbana party being held in honour of Justin Bieber at the amazing GOLD. To say that it was a surreal moment would be an understatement. We arrived at the party to the sound of screaming girls aka Bieber fans. Upon entering the gorgeous GOLD, we were immediately greeted by the sight of Justin Bieber, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana just casually chatting away. I have to admit...I was EXTREMELY excited at this point.<br />
<br />
We danced, we drank champagne, we mingled and then the moment to end all moments happened - see the picture below.<br />

Me and Domenico Dolce - dream moment</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>This is definitely up there with the moment that I met Jimmy Choo last year at London Fashion Week.<br />
<br />
I'd like to thank Dolce and Gabbana for inviting me to the event, as well as @iwork4DG (see Twitter), Leroy Dawkins (Twitter name, @Clotheshorse90) and Harrods (Twitter name, @HarrodsofLondon) for sharing in this dream trip with me<br />
<br />
And finally I'd like to thank my 'Hero Italiano' for making all of this possible...you know who you are!<br />
<br />
When you wish upon a star, your dreams really do come true...and this blog post is the proof.<br />
<br />

I'd been hearing a lot on Twitter about a brand of clothing called Paprika. As I am a bit of a clotheshorse, I thought I would investigate a little further. So I settled down with a glass of wine and a packet of Percy Pigs (my secret addiction) and decided to have a look through their website. All I can say is OMG! I am a very girly girl when it comes to my dress-sense. I do not own too many pairs of trousers or jeans as I am a lover of dresses and skirts, especially if they are floral. So you can imagine my delight, when I hit upon a website full of my favourite things. I managed to limit myself to two dresses - one Maxi and one Mini.<br />
<br />
A few days ago, I got in from work and there they were, waiting for me. I literally tore the packet open only to find they has been wrapped in beautiful pink paper (my favourite colour) - what a lovely touch and something only added to my excitement. Once the paper had been opened (or ripped excitedly in my case), what was revealed immediately made me think of warmer months, over-sized sunglasses and fabulous sandals. Two gorgeous dresses...<br />

As I have always been a fan of Maxi dresses, I tried that one on first - perfect fit. Then the second dress - also a perfect fit. I was pretty in Praprika and was positively loving it. What was even better was the price - so reasonable (especially good as January is always a hard month). So not only was I pretty in Paprika but they came at pretty price.<br />
<br />
The Paprika website launched earlier this week and will no doubt receive many other orders (in fact I would not be surprised if they were selling out). Go and take a look on <a href="http://www.paprikafashion.co.uk/">www.paprikafashion.co.uk</a> ( you can also follow them on Twitter - @PaprikaFashion ) and let me know what you think. I have no doubt, that you too will be 'Pretty in Paprika'<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">When I received the email inviting me to the Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards, I was beyond excited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I am, only having been in London for 9 weeks, and I have already done so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I came to the point in the email where I was told there was an opportunity to interview Gok Wan, I had to read it a few times – I thought someone was teasing me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fast forward one week and there I was on my way to The Rembrandt Hotel, to interview the man himself.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have always been a huge fan of Gok Wan – he seems very real and has helped to give women all over the country the confidence to love their bodies and believe in themselves which is a feat that not many people can achieve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women respond very positively to him and after meeting him in the flesh and spending some time with him, he surpassed my expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was warm, friendly and made me feel completely at ease – he is not only stylish but a true gentleman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope you enjoying reading the interview as much as I enjoyed conducting it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Firstly, are you excited to be presenting the Specsaver Awards?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Yes I can’t wait.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We always have lots of fun with the celebrities and the best thing about the awards is that they are in support of a charity very close to my heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kidscape is an anti-bullying charity, dedicated to preventing bullying and child abuse and is fully committed to keeping children safe from harm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the proceeds from the ticket sales and the silent auction will go directly to them, which is fantastic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What are your top three tips when it comes to choosing the perfect pair of specs?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Firstly make sure your glasses go with the look that you have committed to for the season.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Secondly, it is imperative that they suit your face shape.</div><div class="MsoNormal">And finally, make sure you feel confident in them and if you are only going to have one pair, make sure that they take you from your desk to the dance floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, have two pairs, one for day and one for night.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For a lot of women you are much more than a stylist, you are someone who gives them confidence to be themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who gives you the confidence to be your fabulous self?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The things that give me confidence are my job, my friends and my family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And although this might sound cheesy, I have to say the fans also give me a great deal of confidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have been amazingly supportive and really bought into what I do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without them, I would not be able to do what I’ve done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, I love my job and I love working with the girls – they are all fantastic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How do you feel about social media and the fact that it has become one of the latest trends in the world of fashion?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I think that it is great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Twitter, Facebook and social media in general are the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From a fashion point of view, it gives consumers and fans instant access to not only the brands but pieces from their collections, that years ago, you would have had to wait a considerable amount of time for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I particularly love what a lot of the big designers are doing now in terms of streaming videos of their catwalk shows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone can now be a part of events like fashion week, which has never been done before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yes, I support it fully.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">And finally, finish this sentence…true style is…?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">True style is…understanding your image</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I was delighted when Donna, the lady behind the brand Donna Ida agreed to be interviewed. I first connected with the lovely lady on Twitter as I am a big fan of designer denim. One of the things that really stands out about Donna is the fact that she loves what she does and you get a real sense of that from her tweets (and this interview confirms it). She is simply, dedicated to denim...<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Firstly, tell us how your fashion career began?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It all started in 2006 when I opened our first shop. That was literally the beginning – before 2006 I was just a very keen shopper.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tell us about the Donna Ida brand and what inspired you to start it?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I have always loved denim but was frustrated that there was nowhere to shop all the best denim labels in one place. Department stores were the only answer and I couldn’t get the help I needed. I decided to open a shop that just sold jeans – it was such a simple concept when I told people what I was doing they all said what an obvious and simple idea – so strange that no one’s done it before!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What have been the highlights of your fashion career to date?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Being nominated for the Drapers Awards twice – the next Awards is on the 17<sup>th</sup> of November! Building a strong customer base of loyal customers and working with a team of amazing girls who all believe in the business as much as I do.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Describe the typical Donna Ida customer – what is she like?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">We have such a broad range as we are very specialist but there is a very core customer group who is 25-60, knows exactly what look she is going for, what her body shape is, what she wants to wear for the season.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Who are you favourite fashion designers?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">It varies from season to season but there is a look I admire – I love the 70’s, flares, anything high-waisted. I prefer a more sophisticated silhouette so love references to Dior’s New Look, I like YSL and Louis Vuitton. I generally prefer French designers so Isabel Marant is on my radar but also like the older American designers who are constantly referenced now such as Roy Halston and Oscar de la Renta.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkr5t3FUKORGHSEVmQJeFNDKzxOIH63qn-L6gH4sZMjo2QXhyphenhyphenASEUepS2SNfuP10vT5Gsip9E45VJQ_9l3LHn3xjOpO56F09eA6dbPKrn0cGs4hQ6i5H6Pdxi18FDNt1_Q8e4pLLrUJV0/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkr5t3FUKORGHSEVmQJeFNDKzxOIH63qn-L6gH4sZMjo2QXhyphenhyphenASEUepS2SNfuP10vT5Gsip9E45VJQ_9l3LHn3xjOpO56F09eA6dbPKrn0cGs4hQ6i5H6Pdxi18FDNt1_Q8e4pLLrUJV0/s320/02.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is your definition of style?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Knowing what looks good on you and wearing it well. I think we should all work with what we’ve been given – confidence is key.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Who are your style icons?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I love the old images of Marilyn Monroe and Bridget Bardot, women who were beautiful and glamorous. I like the 60’s when Jackie Kennedy was the First Lady and the glamour of the South of France. There’s still something special about the South of France now – it’s kept that glamour and Monaco always feels like an event. For modern day icons I love Diane Kruger, Cate Blanchett and Rachel Zoe. Women who are all comfortable in their own skin and are confident and successful.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you have a personal favourite, when it comes to denim brands?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">That would be like choosing between my children! I have a few favourites, or brands that work for me.<br />
J Brand, Earnest Sewn, James Jeans, Goldsign and Current/Elliott.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />

</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Has the world of social media had an impact on your brand?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Definitely, it’s such a great way to connect with new customers and also our peers. I find that I chat to so many other retailers and everyone supports each other. Twitter has been great in that way – it feels like a casual friendly way to connect. You can tweet literally anyone you want.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you have any exciting projects/collaborations planned for the brand?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Oh soooo many!! We have a new shop opening in Guildford at the end of next month and are looking at new locations all the time. We have an exciting new website launching early next year and we have a few other collaborations on the boil with designers.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Couture in the 21st Century</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As a lover of couture, I was delighted to be at the launch of ‘Couture in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century’ – a collaboration between Harrods Publishing and world renowned photographer Rankin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book consists of a number of interviews with well known designers like Armani, Roland Mouret and Oscar de la Renta, talking about their relationship with couture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Up and coming designers such as Erdem and Hannah Marshall are also featured in the book, which is a must-have for anyone who has an interest in or love of couture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book itself, is absolutely beautiful, with an intricate cover, that actually looks like is has been designed by a couturier.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The event was very well attended, and it was great to see designers like Antonio Berardi, Roland Mouret, Hannah Marshall, and Stephen Jones, mingling with up and coming fashion bloggers, which is a new and interesting direction for Harrods.<span> </span>Fashion and Beauty Director, was also in attendance, as was Deborah Bee, Author and Editor-in-Chief of Harrods Publishing.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">For me, the book is a delightful insight into the world of couture. Personally, I was introduced to this wonderful world many years ago by my mother, who is a lover of all things Chanel and Armani.<span> </span>Reading the book brought back memories of her beautiful wardrobe and her exquisite attention to detail.<span> </span>It also reminded me that true lovers of couture have a very special relationship with it that goes way beyond the realms of mere fashion.<span> </span>For me, couture is art and when applied to the body, it becomes art in motion.<span> </span>A truly magical experience, that stays with you for a lifetime and leaves a stylish imprint on the soul.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">For anyone out there, who wishes to indulge their senses in couture, then this book is a must-have.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div>Not only do I want this fabulous Nichole de Carle lingerie, I also want the watch!<br />
<br />
Audemars Piguet was founded in 1875 and is a brand that is seen as one of the four most important watch manufacturers in the world. Their three key values are tradition, excellence and audacity, which when you see the watches up close, is abundantly clear - the attention to detail is exquisite. The brand also has the distinction of being the last remaining Swiss watch Marque to be owned by the ancestors of the founding families. So not only are these watches incredibly fabulous, they are incredibly posh too! Love it!<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to see these beautiful creations during London Fashion Week, at a fashion in aid of Hauser Bears - a charity concerned with the welfare of bears worldwide. I have never been a fan of watches, but my opinion changed when I was introduced to Audemars Piguet. These exquisite timepieces are the perfect accessory to any outerwear, or underwear if you prefer.<br />
<br />
So if you're reading this Santa, I would just love to find one of these watches in my stocking...pretty please.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Greetings everyone, my name is Rachael and I am one of the founders of <a href="http://www.redroverstyle.com/">Red Rover Style</a>, an online magazine about lifestyle and charity. We are based in NYC. Our magazine has about 20+ writers, whom we call Rovers. As you can imagine, managing over 20+ writers can be a handful, but very colorful. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even contribute to the magazine as the Social and Savvy Entrepreneur rover. Also, my Red Rover Style partner, Elena Baxter and I , founded an online PR firm called <a href="http://www.redroverpr.com/">Red Rover Public Relations</a>. We call it our empire, but luckily the two platforms work hand-in-hand with each other.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So now that you know a little background on my entrepreneur world, I want to share my personal fashion with you as a social and savvy entrepreneur in NYC.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">First, my number one fashion dedication is to my hair, and that is probably because I grew up in my mother’s salon, and more or less, I am obsessed with hair.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have experimented with every color from black, medium brown, auburn, blonde, Heidi Klum platinum blonde to fiery copper red, Jennifer Aniston’s golden locks, and back to brown, back to blonde, well, I’ve done it all with different types of highlight placements and trend-haircuts in between.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Today, I think I’ve nailed down my look with red, which is really a rich auburn color. </span><span lang="EN-US">I think it brings out the green tinting in my eyes…Of course, I’m not just one color, I have some fiery copper peekaboo highlights too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><br />

It’s crisp, cool, and all I can think about is pulling out my boots and fall suit jackets. BUT, Since, I’m jumping around NYC from one meeting to the next, I need to go from flats to heels and turn my office day style to suit an evening with cocktails, dim-lighting and networking. Don’t forget, since my office is mobile, I need to lug around a laptop, charger, make-up, and I even carry around my SLR camera, hence is why I need flats.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So here it is, my most desired look for a social and savvy entrepreneur going from a September office day to a September cocktail party.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My day look screams sophistication and comfort.

Today was an interesting day for a number of reasons, but the main reason was that one of my beauty prayers has been answered. As much as I am happy in my own skin, there is one little thing that has always bothered me…my eyelashes. I have always felt that they do not look as long or as thick as they should. Well the eyelash gods (who go by the names of Marci and Elke) have given me a solution to that problem.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now normally I am a little sceptical about products that claim that they can change the way you look in one form or another. But I had to humbly eat my words today when I was introduced to the wonder that is M2 LASHES. This revolutionary product comes in two forms, EYELASH ACTIVATING SERUM and EYELASH REVITALIZING GLOSS.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXS1ki_pnD1FmzglQ2FHZ2TuNt6GJNZpPVJIjosEBJ_rSUa6ZG_4RE_7X0-9R1OHmyI3NdI6NfYYVTwt-LwLqHV66pGz0JWo0GBjgR0hEWT99QYs2UWgyu9vPRm_H8MnI2NTT_vbo-uok/s1600/m2_lashes_serum+packung_rgb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXS1ki_pnD1FmzglQ2FHZ2TuNt6GJNZpPVJIjosEBJ_rSUa6ZG_4RE_7X0-9R1OHmyI3NdI6NfYYVTwt-LwLqHV66pGz0JWo0GBjgR0hEWT99QYs2UWgyu9vPRm_H8MnI2NTT_vbo-uok/s320/m2_lashes_serum+packung_rgb.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
The serum increases the length, thickness and strength of your lashes. It is a combination of nutritional and active ingredients, one of which is used in ophthalmology (<span class="apple-style-span">the branch of medicine concerned with the eye and its diseases). It must be applied every evening, once the eye area has been thoroughly cleansed, to the base of the upper eyelids’ lash line (a brush applicator is provided).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span">Visible results are supposed to appear between six and eight weeks – maximum results are achieved by week 16. So guess what I’ll be doing tonight…yes that’s right, applying my serum before bedtime. The excitement at the prospect of lovelier, longer, luxurious lashes is seriously overwhelming.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="apple-style-span"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg97JG0fL5KCm4CRXmoB67tOuDQ6Ja9qdZ8NN6Zf68CIbyIrGfVREfc3vGtMFjXF6yh_gjU5Dbr4stX4wJSyzh-cnrsXQ8lcPH32M0hUMT3v_qtuDf0uT0KnY46dxCTCUOACKbvESDGz4E/s1600/m2_lashes_gloss+packung_rgb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg97JG0fL5KCm4CRXmoB67tOuDQ6Ja9qdZ8NN6Zf68CIbyIrGfVREfc3vGtMFjXF6yh_gjU5Dbr4stX4wJSyzh-cnrsXQ8lcPH32M0hUMT3v_qtuDf0uT0KnY46dxCTCUOACKbvESDGz4E/s320/m2_lashes_gloss+packung_rgb.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></span></div><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span">The gloss works in unison with the serum to the growth, give lashes definition and a healthy shine. It is very easy to use (a definite plus for me), and is to be applied morning and evening (from the base of the eyelash to the tip). What’s even better is that the effects are immediate. And just so you know ladies (and maybe gentlemen too), this is to be applied before you apply your regular mascara.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span">To prove that it works, I have decided that I will take weekly pics of my eyelashes, which I will post onto my blog, so you can see the effects. I feel like a scientist in my lab conducting research…my sister (who is an ‘actual’ scientist - I have included the 'science-bit' for you below, Louise) would be so proud.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span">If you would also like to be the proud owners of perfect lashes, then M2 LASHES is available exclusively at <a href="http://bit.ly/cdvAzJ">Harrods</a>, both in store and <a href="http://bit.ly/cdvAzJ">online</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />

The key active complex MDN is a prostaglandin derivative, which in an alternative form is used in ophthalmology.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Shakira hit the nail on the head when she sang ‘Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don’t confuse them with mountains’...cue every woman with a modest clevage singing ‘Whenever, Wherever’ on karaoke night. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a total advocate of small and humble...but every once in a while (usually a Friday or Saturday night) I’m in the mood for mountains, or at least decent sized hills! Now since neither brain nor budget will allow for plastic surgery, I usually go down the padded bra/chicken fillets route instead but with limited to non-existent success.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

First thoughts; it certainly looks a little less threatening than other padded bras I've tried, and the fact that it's seamless means it won't show through my clothes...so far so good.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

It really is incredible lightweight and after a few minutes of wearing it, I almost forget it’s there, that is until I look in the mirror...the difference is incredible! Not only have I gone up about 2 cup sizes in the blink of eye, but also you’d be hard pushed to guess that my new found ample bosom isn’t completely God given.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br />

Turns out that the padding is made of a rather clever mix of foam, gel and air...no wonder it’s so light, weighing in at a meagre 80 grams, and the novel fan shape of the padding is responsible for giving that ‘enhanced from every angle’ look.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Overall it’s incredibly comfortable, it will definitely give a natural looking ‘oomph’ to any outfit and gets 10/10 from me. Now all I need to do is take it out for a test drive on the town...I think my karaoke tune for tonight will be Shania Twain ‘Man...I Feel Like A Woman!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br />

I knew that London was going to be fun, but I did not know that it was going to be THIS MUCH FUN. And the best thing about it is that the fun is centred around my work in fashion, which is just the icing on the cake.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway, back to the subject of fashion. Yesterday saw the start of London Fashion Week (in my world, it is more commonly known as HAUTE HEAVEN WEEK). Due to my hectic schedule (and plan for world domination via my work as a social media stylist), I was unable to make it to all the shows I was supposed to attend yesterday (so sorry guys). However, one show that I did manage to get to was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Once Upon A Time</b>, in aid of Hauser Bears. I got there early, which with the benefit of hindsight was good thinking, because by the time the show came to start, every seat in the house was taken. Fabulous fashion blogger Leroy Dawkins (Twitter name @Clotheshorse90) arrived just in time for the start of the show, and we finally got to meet and chat after months of Twitter conversations…love it. I was also thrilled to meet the lovely Tawi Jenyo from Stitching the Gap.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div></div><div class="MsoNormal">And then it was lights down, catwalk, action. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">David & Goliath</b> who designed the Hauser Bears t-shirts came down the catwalk first. Very quirky, cool and in aid of a good cause, so I will definitely be making an investment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Whilst I was watching this particular part of the show, a familiar face came and sat on the front row. Monsieur Dawkins later informed me that it was none other than Adam Ant, who I must say had an air of Johnny Depp about him and was wearing a fabulous kilt…the reason behind his outfit was soon to become clear.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">At the end of the lingerie fest, all the girls came out…topless! However, they did have their hands strategically placed over their chests, which looked great and was the perfect way to end this part of the show. The designer then came out and took a bow, and in the words of Jay-Z, it was onto the next one.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Next came the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">English Kilt Company</b>, which I loved…not only because the kilts were amazing in terms of design and quality, but the fact that two of the male models came out topless (and carried it off rather well). I became so engrossed in my appreciation for their ‘look’ that I forgot to take pictures…sorry girls. For me, they epitomised British fashion perfectly: stylish, quality, eccentric…I loved it. And to top it off, Adam Ant appeared in his fab kilt, to massive cheers from the audience…very cool indeed!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">And now for my favourite part of the show…<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">LOULOU BONTEMPS</b>. Firstly, I would like to congratulate Loulou and the designers for putting together a show that was the epitome of collaboration and was totally in-keeping with the theme of the show overall. However I would like to reserve some of the congratulations for Loulou herself. My reason for this is that I have been with Loulou (helping to style the outfits), whilst she has been organising the whole show, so I have seen first-hand what went into creating this particular segment of the show.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">You would not believe the amount of work (and stress) that goes into putting together something that is literally, over in minutes. To say she has worked hard, would be an understatement…and all of this has been achieved without the use of a mobile phone…quite a feat in this day and age of technology. The clothes were designed by Peyrovi, Briar Rose, Murrin, and Sally Pang. The accessories were created by Loulou, Still Remains, and Gemma Dane, and Elmstone. Everything came together perfectly and the overall look was very wearable (which is not something you can often say about a catwalk collection).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Finally came, Florian Jayet, whose collection brought one word to mind…armour. Once again, the pieces that came down the catwalk were very wearable and were in the classic colours black and white. The structure and attention to detail was fantastic and each of the outfits looked as though they had been specially made to fit each model. I also felt there was something artistic (almost graphically-inspired) about this collection. There was minimalism injected with intricate attention to detail which I loved. I would happily wear these pieces exactly as they are, direct from the catwalk.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Following on from the show, there was a fantastic after-party. Everyone was mingling and networking, and generally enjoying themselves, which is always nice to see. And then came the moment that I will remember for the rest of my life…meeting Jimmy Choo. I overheard someone saying that he had arrived. Everyone who knows STYLISA, knows how much STYLISA <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">LOVES</b> Jimmy Choo. When I eventually found him, he was lovely, easy to talk to and very polite. When I asked for a photograph, he was only too happy to say yes to my request. I will treasure that picture and the moment forever.

I miss my family and friends terribly, but I am exceedingly happy to be living my fashion dreams.<br />
<br />
Today saw me venture into the Haute Heaven that is Harrods, for <a href="http://www.harrods.com/HarrodsStore/GlobalPages/EventArticle.aspx?Id=6543e41d-a662-4624-9d4a-68205eb29c35">The Perfume Diaries</a>, which is a wonderful exhibition celebrating the history of perfume. It takes you on a fascinating journey, made even more interesting by the enchanting Roja Dove, who is the worlds only Professeur de Parfums. Monsieur Dove talked us through the whole exhibition, providing us with some amazing and unique insights into this intricate subject. What made the exhibition even more delightful, was the numerous rare pieces that had been sourced to sit alongside all the beautiful bottles of perfume. Being a 1950's fashion enthusiast, my favourite piece was this beautiful Dior dress.

It was also great to see fellow bloggers at the event. I spent some time chatting to the lovely <a href="http://www.londonbeautyqueen.blogspot.com/">London Beauty Queen</a> (Twitter name @LBQBlog) who certainly knows her stuff when it comes to the world of beauty. And I must say that I am very impressed by the fact that an institution such as Harrods, which is steeped in tradition, is sitting up and taking notice of the power and influence of the blogger. As Roja rightly pointed out, the internet has turned everyone into an expert, and consumers now want to make decisions for themselves, rather than being told or dictated to. This is definitely something that more brands need to take on board.<br />
<br />
Personally speaking, there is only one perfume for me, which is Chanel No 5, a fragrance that transcends time and is extremely distinctive...a bit like me.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s been seven years since I set out on my fashion journey and it’s been a long, hard and very interesting road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made many sacrifices and encountered a great deal of negativity from people who told me I would never make it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been at the point where I have wanted to give up, and join the 9 to 5 drill that countless people set out on everyday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I never gave up, I kept going, despite the setbacks, knock-backs and numerous opportunities that seemed to have leverage but turned out to be nothing but disappointments.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You might be sitting there asking yourself why I am writing this on my blog???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the answer is very simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sacrifices, tears and hard work are starting to pay off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never gave up, even when I was down to my last fiver and neither should anyone reading this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have loved fashion from the age of five, and I was determined to work in the industry despite the hurdles that I knew I would face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have now been given an opportunity that could set me on my path to greatness and what’s even better, is that I have had some fantastic support along the way, from some truly amazing people who I am blessed to have in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are far too many people to name here, but you know who you are and to all of you, I wish to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words could never express my gratitude and love for all the people who have supported me on this journey and who will no doubt, continue to support me. I only hope that I can offer you the same kindness, generosity and support that you have all shown to me.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">However, there is one person whom I would like to mention and that is my mum, who over the years, has made many sacrifices for both myself and my sister.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would not be sitting on this train to London without her and could never thank her enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if you ever read this mum (she has a serious phobia of anything remotely technical), all I can say is…I love you…and thank you.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Stay tuned for further blog posts on my adventures in London…and thank you for reading my blog posts and supporting me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am living proof that if you are prepared to put in the hard work required, make the necessary sacrifices and take a risk, then dreams really can come true!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><b>Fun Fashion!<br />
</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunOCs6ik5i6zvX2lh6Qt_weZ0steUG5xY3gQqTeSCjbxkJP0Gj6aIbuKSSrom7PB-qBN4BepXzyiooz1Ehw_wMzng_Fr9S4bYvGdxFWU1lj_UVMV1l5oQPS9CUc2Jvl7ENm5mVGnHtT4/s1600/FunImage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunOCs6ik5i6zvX2lh6Qt_weZ0steUG5xY3gQqTeSCjbxkJP0Gj6aIbuKSSrom7PB-qBN4BepXzyiooz1Ehw_wMzng_Fr9S4bYvGdxFWU1lj_UVMV1l5oQPS9CUc2Jvl7ENm5mVGnHtT4/s320/FunImage1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fun is everything in Tokyo!</b></div><span lang="EN-US"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Above everything else, fashion in Tokyo is about having fun. Life in Japan, especially in such a big city, can be very busy and stressful, and Japanese tend to work long hours, with short holidays if they are on the corporate ladder. It is thought that Japanese students don’t study hard, but many of them are busy not only with study, but working part-time jobs too, to help pay for their school fees. Where as young people in the Western Europe might associate growing up with increased freedom, and therefore something to be desired, in Japan growing up is associated with more work and responsibility, and therefore young people desire to stay kids as long as possible, and they want to maintain their youthful looks. For this reason, rather than trying to be glamorous, Japanese girls would rather look cute. They also have feelings of affection for their school uniforms, which represent the fun of their school days. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><b>Accessorize everything!<br />
<br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKySIA6m29RQUIfXImbzMdgwLMQ6lO3aXqh0VMjM_52_cuwU7i9ORWD8SOk5lZcSB8nVzl1QE9JhuhW385xVyoRr5bru5YHgWNvZjmIF_GKZKVo5UZ2ur8Bsc6WvGmY5v6sp3KGbxO1A/s1600/AccessoriesImage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKySIA6m29RQUIfXImbzMdgwLMQ6lO3aXqh0VMjM_52_cuwU7i9ORWD8SOk5lZcSB8nVzl1QE9JhuhW385xVyoRr5bru5YHgWNvZjmIF_GKZKVo5UZ2ur8Bsc6WvGmY5v6sp3KGbxO1A/s320/AccessoriesImage1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Cute Accessories</b></div><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Most Japanese girls dye their hair and many boys do too. Long flowing hair is popular this year, and hair extensions are common. Relatively long and spiky hair is popular with young men, and they style their hair after the most popular musicians. Men’s accessories are very important, too. High heels are popular, especially with shorter girls, and they seem happy to wear them all day. Students accessorize everything from their bags, to phones to pencil cases. A fan is a useful accessory in the hot weather, and you can brighten up your room or garden with a wind charm, from the wind charm stall. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><b>Summer trends!</b></span><br />

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This year there seem to be two popular trends in summer fashion. One trend comes from images of the sea, and this is evidenced in navy blue and white, or black and white horizontally striped T-shirts and tops. “Border prints”. This is the simpler and more casual style. It is often paired up with Converse shoes.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedTYNb_wYyuiQAOdPeypnFFNAzX0AoUhxRa2jiHQ6dmPTZq2VaCuk_E_rFbJG5LskCn9bq9rk-o-qyn4OoVZq0pow3lr-wuzmtFmb2Ym6CMLRXeQiHfjJiLpLuTfaTNSHzVnr3XW4igk/s1600/FloralsImage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedTYNb_wYyuiQAOdPeypnFFNAzX0AoUhxRa2jiHQ6dmPTZq2VaCuk_E_rFbJG5LskCn9bq9rk-o-qyn4OoVZq0pow3lr-wuzmtFmb2Ym6CMLRXeQiHfjJiLpLuTfaTNSHzVnr3XW4igk/s320/FloralsImage1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Mini-Me Floral Fashion</b></div><span lang="EN-US"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">The other style that is really popular at the moment is rather a romantic one. There are floral prints on dresses, skirts, play suits and even on frilly shorts. Skirts are of all lengths, maxi to mini, and tiers, lace and frills on the edges are common. Pastel colours appear to be the most popular, but all colours are seen, and there does not seem to be one colour which is representative of the trend. Frills on shorts are in lace as well as in floral patterns. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Japanese styles for the summer change slower than Western fashions, but the craze for black parasols appears to be over. Pastel colours are always popular, as are lace and gauzy and loosely woven fabrics. Images of the sea, and water, and small summer flowers are the summer staples, and kimono wearers perfect the art of looking cool, with several layers of clothing on. Linen and indigo are seen as especially cool for the summer. Polka dots are seen in both Japanese and Western styles this year.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
