Winter WishList

After watching some of the amazing shows from London Fashion Week this past week I've been inspired to compile a wish list. 

I was walking past the Antropologie store in Regents St yesterday and saw this amazing statement necklace in the shop window. Had to have it, till I found out its £275.00. Bye bye dreams.

£38.00 Antropologie

Zara sheepskin coat - £129.99

 ASOS- Maxi Slit Dress - £25.00

I'm a sucker for a black maxi dress and anything with a bit of a slit....VOILA. I think it would work well for the evening or during the day with a pair of converse and this...

ASOS - £55

So yeah if anyone is feeling generous please feel free to send me some of the above goodies and I will love you forever! 

Have you guys got your eyes on anything hot and dangerous????

Im going to the Pinkmothballs app launch tomorrow evening with my friend Jess which will be fun! I'll blog about it on sunday! 

Have lovely weekends!!!

Love Lexie x x x

Fashion Cupboard Life

This week was the start of interning at Company magazine! YAYYY! Its loads of fun but really really busayyy, and everyone in the office always look really well dressed so gotta look extra hot and dangerous everyday which can be a challenge when running around London picking up samples and blah blah blah.

I'm living in the Fashion cupboard atm which means lusting after loads of coats, shirts, skirts, bags and jewellery that I cannot afford. WAHHHH. Looks like the student loan shall be getting a big seeing to. Poor bank account.

Recently I embraced the fat hugging, shiny, unflattering world of the DISCO PANT, which can be seen below. I got mine from River Island and they actually look okay in comparison to the hideous mess that was me trying on American Apparel, even though they are amazing they did not do me any favours at all. 

The shirt was a freebie from work as there was a bunch of things on its way to Oxfam so we were allowed to have a rummage and take anything we liked. I love freebies, so obviously was all over it like a rash! The jacket makes me look 'office-y and professional' ha ha ha and it from Miss Selfridge. 

My new fave item of the moment is my 'amaze balls' bracelet. I bought from Toppers for a measly £1 so I also got one each for my two new roomies so we can all be freaks together. YAY

Today at work I was on a shoot called 'Street Girl,' which features in every edition, casually modelling some clothes whilst walking up and down the streets of Lahndahn. I got to wear theeee most amazing Kurt Geiger heels and lots of beautiful Zara items. Pictures will be in the Jan 2013 edition of Company which is a bit cringe but meh. 

In other news what was Harry Styles doing on the front row at Burberry this week? You're in a boy band babe, not a male model! Having said this I think he has the perfect baby face for modelling and I reckon Burbs will snap him up.....watch this space. 

HOW YA DOIN' THAT?

On Saturday I'm going to the PinkMothballs launch party and am sooooo excited!!! That million dollar question has reared its ugly head again though: WHAT TO WEAR? Are any of you going?

Love Lexie x x x 

Posh pants and naughty knickers...

 

Any of you that no me, personally, or even through this blog will know what I have a obsession with lingerie. Most of my fwends think its ridic because no one can really see your underwear like they can see your clothes, but that’s half the fun. To feel confidant, hot and dangerous its important that everything you wear flatters you and makes you feel 100% confidant, and obv I believe what lies beneath your clothes gives you that initial boost. So what if you’re the only one who sees it?!  And if someone else gets a peak, everyones a winner! Ha ha

'The Basket Knicker'... without a doubt the most beautiful pants in the world... 

Anyway, to get back on topic…. I interned at Damaris for the past 2 months. I met some really great people and got to rush around London taking lingerie samples to places feeling quite important. As part of the internship I worked at Selfridges on the Mimi Holliday section in lingerie. Needless to say I was in my element, surrounded my posh pants! Selfridges was pretty amazing to work in, everyone is sooo sooo polished there and they really love love love amazing customer service. I learnt quite a lot about the store, I didn’t even know they held events in the store and had live models and shows parading around Selfridges to promote special causes they are supporting or current events they are backing. My fave part of Selfridges are the window displays (they have a team of trained window dresses…probs one of the best jobs ever). Over the years there’s been quite a lot of controversy about some of the displays. 

The theme of one set of windows was VEGAS, so naturally they put in boobs, I think they got fined for this. During training we got told that the fines are so small sometimes they just put the controversial stuff in for the fun of it, which I really like.

Some cheeky bits and pieces I got given throughout my internship: 

The mod in the underwear is one of the companies faves and she's done quite a few of their campaigns. She's very hot and dangerous. 

The new collection of amazingness can be found here! Check out the body suits....THEY'RE INCREDIBLE.

Tell me what you think, whats your fave set?

The September Issue

For me, I always know the summer (what summer?!) is drawing to an end when the St Giles fair comes to Oxford for the first three days of September. Its a bit weird because I still have so much to fit in before going back to unayyy. 

Next week I'm going to Lanza-grotty with my family, literally CANNOT wait to be horizontal for a week. In the sun. With cocktails. If you follow me on instagram (LEXIEVEEE) then you will see that I've been casually chowing down on dominoes, cakes, frappacinos blah blah blah etc. Clearly have no respect for the fact I shall be living in a bikini next week. My body is most definitely NOT a temple right now. 

Hopefully after my holiday I will be starting a new internship (fingers crossed :)) for two weeks then back to the bright lights big city that is Northampton. Cough Cough! 

With my beaut friend Kate!

This is what I wore to the fair, not very practical and I'm annoyed you can't see my necklace properly (a causal steal at £3!) as its tucked into my t-shirt! Grr.

In other exciting news my friend Jess has invited me to a launch party in September for a new mobile app by PinkMothballs which sounds amazeballs. We are both panicking about what to wear of course! More information about Pink Mothballs can't be found here. Very exciting! What would you wear???!

Lots of Love Lexie x x x 

PS Check out the new buttons on my blog...they are new! More new stuff appearing soon! :) 

Notting Hill Carnival Bitchessss

Last Friday I finished my internship so what better way to celebrate then get back to London for the Notting hill Carnival. I went with my Oxford gal pals and had an amazeballs time!

First things first, this is what I wore….

- Black Maxi Dress - Love at Topshop - 

- Converse -

- Denim Jacket - Topshop - 

-  Zebra belt - River Island - 

We all went to the carnival for my friends 21st and she wanted us to dress in 1960s hippie style for the day. I don't think I really adhered to the spec but YOLO. The amount of Levi cut offs we saw was crayy, even though I proudly own a pair and rave about them on this all the time, its no fun when everyone else is wearing the same thing as you and I'm getting pretty bored of seeing arse cheek from shorts everywhere I look. 

My gal pals <3

I was gutted because we actually missed the floats…I think we must of gotten distracted in a pub or something…. Eek. Anyway...after a few hours in the pub we wandered around and found a music stage and got on it.

We were mega lucky with the weather, it was boiling all day! I really wishes I'd have gone back on the Monday, deffo making it into an annual thing.  Did any of you go to carnival?

In other news I mentioned I have finished my internship and am now a free laaddddy of leisuuuuree! LOL JK, Im working to get some dollar bills before unayyy. I'm going to do a post about my internship when in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled and watch this space!

Next week I go on holiday so I'm going to make an extra effort to blog errryday before wednesday! :) I love love love hearing feedback so please don't be afraid to lemme know what ya think! 

Lots of Love Lexie x x x

Accessories

Hey y'all

My obsession this week (seems I'm very fickle) has been ACCESORIES. 

Recently I've made some good lil investments vis a vis accessories.

Firstly my beige studded bag which is ...wait for it... from PRIMARK. I've had tonnes of compliments on it which is always lovely to have. I've become a bit in love with studs (studded jacket, studded phone case now studded bag...! you get the picture) The search for a studded bag has been a long one but Ive finally found it! YAY!

Scarfs are another recent obsession. They make the most mundane outfits look reem.com. This is a rubbish copy of an Alexander McQueen classic...from, you guessed it, Primark. 

My new bestest ring! Chunky rings are the way forward fo sho! I can't really get away with thinner bands because they don't make my hands look very feminine so opting for the chunkier rings tends to suit me better. This beaut was from Topshop. 

The earrings caught my eye straight away and my motto is : if you see and and love it straight away then its a sign to buy it! Any excuse! Again a cheeky little sale number from Toppers. Although they have made my ear go a bit strange because WOW at my life I'm allergic to EVERYTHING. They are also the heaviest thing on earth and remind me of an illuminati sign #obsessedwiththeilluminati.

notonthehighstreet.com has some really beautiful rings that you can personalise with a message / saying.

Not on the high street

Also... have been pretty obsessed with 'Carrie' necklaces for a while...

Carrie Necklaces

But with my name...duh.

What jewellery/accessorises have you had your eye on lately? Id love to see your favs!

Karl VS Pippa...who you backing?

Hey y'all

Karl Lagerfeld loves making an awkward comment doesn't he! Last week the infamous Channel designer commented on Pippa Middleton saying he doesn't 'like her face' and that she should only 'show her face.' As if that wasn't enough he added insult to injury by gushing about how hot and dangerous Kate Middleton is (which she is!) "I like romantic beauties, Kate has a good silhouette." 

In fairness I do think Kate is hotter than Pippa, and I know many people would disagree with me but I don't get the big deal with Pipz.

We all know that Karl is a massive deal in the world of fashion but I don't think that gives him the right to say things like that! Its never nice getting negative comments is it! I thought it was awful when he called Adele fat. It just goes the show that Fashion is a very shallow and fickle business. 

Even so, I can't wait to see what Pippa will say back... bitch fight anyone?! Also has anyone seen Karl's kitty cat? ITS SO CUTE and casually has its own private jet AND two personal maids...some cats get all the luck.

Love Lexie x x x 

PS Karl you used to look like this...dont forget, the internet will always come back to haunt you! 

The Elephant (Wo)Man

Hey y'all...

Oh my goodness what a week! I feel like this week has been the longest in existence and crazy busy. So here are the big bits of goss from my week:

• At the start of the week/end of last week (I'm not 100% sure!) it was revealed that Kristin Stewart cheated on THE LOVE OF MY LIFE Robert Pattinson. #awkward. Anyways so Liberty Ross (the wife of the director that K.S was getting on it with) is the hot and dangerous poster girl of Damaris and Mimi Holliday (the company I'm working for!). Check it:

This pictures are part of the A/W Mimi campaign....JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE DAMARIS ONES! #hotanddangerous

You can find the new collection here...when it launches soon! I, of course, shall keep you updated but watch this space. 

Anyways why would you a) cheat on hottie mchotinson R.P or b) Liberty Ross. I mean LOOK AT HER she has had three children!!! THAT A GAL. 

• One of my very good friends, Esther, is interning for a magazine in London and on friday we went to a swanky part-ay for the launch of some Absinthe. Needless to say this meant endless FREE cocktails laced with Absinthe. There were also some Made in Chelsea peeps schweffing about. 

I was wearing a VERY low cut top and was having total bra carnage, but I was very lucky that work let me borrow one of their AMAZING v-plunge bras: 

The one I wore was in black and part of the Tutti Frutti range. It was so kind to have one on loan. Deffo sorted out my outfit problems. Here is what I wore: 

 

- Top/Body - Miss Selfridge -

- Belt - Topshop - 

 - Skirt -  Warehouse -

- Shoes - Topshop 

 

Me and Esther, who I've been living with in the big smoke for the last week! :)

• Next Summer I will be a graduate. VOM. Its disgusting how quickly time goes! Uni is literally flying by! To celebrate hopefully I shall be going to IBIZAAAAAAA with ma gal palz from home! Literally soooooo excited! 

I'm feeling pale.com and am in desperate need of a tan. Everything is better with a tan. I need to get that on a tea towel or something ha ha ha. 

• I can't wait to get back to uni in September and start living with two of my besties Kitty Jess and Shauna. I discovered this pretty cool website this week, where you can get really cutie bit and pieces for your house. I can't wait to decorate our little love pad! Some of my favourite bits:

And of course....a portrait of Jess.

• I've not been into work for the past two days. This is because I ate a stupid nut in some muesli on  Thursday and quickly started to look like the elephant man. Covered in hives....soooooo attractive. HOW YA DOIN THAT???! Not the glamorous lifestyle I am trying to lead. LOL JK. It was pretty grim, casually staggering to the bus stop at Marble Arch because the allergy had made me go partly blind. (Nope, that doesn't make sense to be either.) People must of thought I was a total drunk. Was getting such Yadni* looks. Not ideal. Think I might be allergic to nuts?!

*Yadni - the Serbian word for 'feeling sorry for someone.' Technically I was a yadna but yadni sounds better. Its the feeling you get when its painful to look at someone because you feel so sorry for them.

Has anything exciting happened to you this week? Also I'm pretty bored of my hair atm and need to do something (maybe something drastic) to it. Let me know if you have any ideas!! Have a fantabulous weekend!!! 

Love Lexie x x x
