**NEW PURCHASE**


Hi Guys,

How are you all?

I just wanted to share my new shoes with you........I KNOW! They cost me £40 in the Topshop sale...Bargain! I couldn't just leave them there...!  

I have been super busy at work this week...but i promise to post loads more this weekend.  I'm heading to brick lane this weekend for some 'vintage' shopping....fingers crossed the sun comes out to play and i find some nice little bargains! I'm sure i'll have lots to show you!

Love

Jessie J


It’s Saturday 21st April, @ 19.22pm and I’m watching the latest singing competition to hit our screens...The Voice.

People use to say the best thing to come out of Romford was the A127....but now there is a new heir to the thrown...step forward MISS JESSIE J.

She is not your typical Essex girl when it comes to fashion. She trades in the high heels for hi-tops and the short skirts for statement tights.

I can honestly say she is my style icon at the moment, and I would happily trade in my wardrobe for hers!

If anyone can pull off a ‘Lycra Catsuit’ they must be cool

We salute you Jessie!

Flower Power



I’m going to keep it ‘short but sweet’ (a bit like this skirt)

What do you guys think of my latest purchase?

I bought this beautiful body-con skirt from Zara last week for £17.99.  You can buy it Here. Go Go Go! 

It was a typical shopping moment – You see something you like, but ahhhh they don’t have my size (which is a 4 if anyone asks….yeah right!). You see another girl loitering in the same area. I looked her up and down and noticed we were a similar size (‘size sexy’).  In that moment we both spotted a loose skirt under some trousers…like Monica from Friends fighting for her wedding dress, I pounced, elbows out, eyes on the prize...and the skirt was mine! 

All’s fair in love and shopping!

Coachella 2012


If I had a list of things to do before I’m 30…..going to Coachella would be one of them!  Look how amazing all these people look. Denim, Maxi Dresses, BIG hats and Leopard print seemed to be a massive hit!!

You may not know, but I love a festival.  Looking at these pictures from Coachella has got me all bloody excited for the summer time.

Unfortunately, Glastonbury (the only festival worth going to in the UK) is not on this summer….I can’t believe it! I have been for the last 3 years and could not thing of any other festival I would rather go to.  Seriously – it is Amazing! 

Basically, I could not spend a whole summer in the UK without going to a festival….so I have managed to secure tickets for The Secret Garden Party and Eastern Electrics

Taking inspiration from the ‘fashion’ seen at Coachella, I think I have my outfits sorted!

Role on the summer

'Oh my Blog'

Oh my blog – I cant believe it…

Christian Louboutin has only gone and launched a UK website for all of us lovely people….Halleluja! Now we can purchase these from the comfort of our own home.  I have no idea why this was not done sooner.

Among other things on my ‘Fashion Wishlist’, I do plan to invest in a pair of ‘Lou Bous’….afterall every girl deserves to have a pair in their wardrobe…right?

I know there not cheap, but with a little help from the ‘BF’ (Hint Hint), I plan to be the owner of these bad boys….Hmm. I just can’t decide on the colour – Nude or Black?? Help!



I will leave you with this LINK

Enjoy!!

Love

H+M 'Glamour Conscious Collection'

Behold H+M’s exclusive 2012 Conscious Collection….


H+M have recently announced they will be launching their ‘Exclusive Glamour Conscious Collection’ across some of their stores….and it lands tomorrow people!! (12th April 2012). It feels like yesterday we were all going MAD for MARNI!

The whole collection is made from sustainable materials, including organic cotton and recycled polyester.  ‘Fashion with a conscience’ – Well I never!

I am desperate to get my hands on this blue tuxedo blazer and shorts – How hot does Amanda Seyfried look?  I have heard a few looks will be sold online, so the P.O.A is to get up super early tomorrow and try to shop online....my fingers and toes are crossed!

Basically, H+M have pulled it out the bag again…who wouldn’t want ‘red carpet’ looks on a budget?

Good Luck!!

Love

Chamonix 2012


Skiing is a past time I’ve always associated with the upper echelons of society so when my sister arranged this big family trip (13 of us in total) I jumped at the chance to give it a go!

Now with a group this big, like every trip in my life it has to be run like a military operation, the D Day landings have nothing on getting the Marstons to the airport on time. So after spending far too much time in the bar we were a matter of minutes from missing our flight! ‘Final Call for the Marstons’ is not what you want to be hearing when you’re onto your 3rd GnT!

When we left the UK it was so hot, the legs had been shaved and the jean shorts were out so the thought of going to sub freezing conditions at the top of a mountain was not appealing. This was not a problem it seems as when we were all wrapped in thermals, jackets and hats the temperature was 27 degrees! There’s nothing quite like coming off the mountain with 3 layers on to see a topless man laying next to the ski lift with a can of beer – SUN BATHING!

As a complete beginner I thought my more advanced sisters would take me down the nursery slope a few times to find my feet -  but no. We began skiing down a slight hill to which I shout ‘this is easy’. Then I get round the bend to see the BIGGEST, STEEPEST slope at which point I could have cried!

There’s nothing quite like learning by doing so after an hour of falling over and fearing for my life I managed to make it down to the bottom – just in time for lunch!
