Bargain Of The Month.

Topshop Cropped Black and White Mohair Jumper £38 £18

This is the only item of clothing I've brought this month ( I'm getting better). I'm becoming a little obsessed with crop tops/ jumpers at the moment. I really do love them and they'll be my staple item of clothing this summer. I refuse to buy full priced clothing from Topshop depending on what it is, hence why I had to bag this cool jumper.

I love this top as the black has subtle hint's of gold specks in it which you can't see in the picture. Plus all things nautical and stripes are still big this season. I teamed this up with a high waisted skirt, a vest top, a long chain, black tights and my brown brogues.

Best Dressed At The Baftas

Kate Winslett wore a lace black design dress by Stella McCartney .

I think Kate looks great, the dress fits her body perfectly. The split detail shows just enough leg  and the lace panel detail is divine. This dress is very classy and elegant yet simple and effective.

Vera Farmiga wore a asymmetric dress with black sash by Marchesa.

I don't normally like flowy dresses like this but she is bang on trend with the nude/cream colour and the one shoulder strap design. I love the black sash detail which helps accentuate her waist and breaks up the white nicely. Her chignon bun and lack of jewellery helps us focus on the dress, which I guess is the whole point really.

Audrey Tatou in Lanvin.

I'm not too sure about the matching red shoes and bag. I think I would have gone for a smaller clutch style purse and teamed them with black shoes but that's me. However I love the pink colour and the off the shoulder detail.

Erin O’Connor in Louis Vuitton

All black errrthing lol. I really like this look! The black halter neck backless style dress, the big statement Topshop ring , the Louis Vuitton clutch bag and her hair look on all receive top marks. I love it when women have jet black hair, the bob with full on bangs just sets off the whole look.

Saoirse Ronan in Burberry

Another star who went for the cream/nude look. The ruffle detailing is what synched this look for me along with the belt. I think an up style hair do would have finished this look off nicely. Roll on The Oscars!!

Week 19 Of My Journey Getting To New York.

This week has been a week of clarity and oh how clarity can give you so much peace! (I’ll get back to that later). I still have to renew my passport and I planned to send it of this week but I had to ensure that all my bills and outgoings where dealt with first. Now what ever money comes in within the next 2 weeks are solely for New York. Plus it only takes 6 weeks for me to get my passport back so I will definitely send it off in March. I will also put away my lump sum of money towards my rent in a couple of weeks as money’s coming in dribs and drabs at the moment. I've become so much more disciplined with my expenditure, not that I was that bad before. I tend to think more before I buy instead of impulse buying. We all know how I love my shoes and clothes.


As I stated earlier this week has been a week of confirmation on so many levels (thank you Jesus). I’ve been kind of lost over the past few months wondering what my next step would be career wise etc, not any more yo! I now KNOW which direction I’m heading in and what steps need to be taken. All will be revealed in due time. I’ve chosen not to say too much as I want my actions to do the talking for 2010. I feel like its January 1st again that’s the level of faith, excitement and determination I have with this.

A few months ago I mentioned that I would be doing my first guest speaking session at Kingston University. A date has now been pencilled in for the 17th of March, I’m a little nervous but mostly excited. I‘ve always wanted to give back and I believe people can learn from my media experiences. I know once I start I won’t stop rambling on (that should fill the awkward silences). What has this got to do with my New York journey you ask?!?!? It’s all confidence building, if I can talk in front of a group of 100 people then I can go and meet Diddy at Bad Boy Records lol. We all know how far confidence will take you! I was a little concerned that my Drama and Vocal Training course would go to waste but it seems my investment is beginning to pay off.

Naomi Looking Good Girl!

I have to give props where props are due, and Naomi Campbell looks hot! For a woman who turns 40 this year she looks good! I don't tend to take much notice of Miss Campbell as her diva behaviour has landed her in some hot water. However she looks darn good whilst modelling and she has looked fierce in some of her latest shoots. Plus she worked the catwalk during her Fashion For Relief Haiti Campaign. She's inspired me to pick up my 1.5 litre bottle of water again as her skin looks flawless like most models do-sigh! Work it Naomi!

**On a side note I actually like this version of Alexander McQueen shoes.**

Brits Best Dressed

I didn't bother watching The Brit Awards last night and to be honest I don't think I missed much. I was very disappointed with the red carpet. I thought the stars would have really pulled out the stops. I guess I'll have to wait until the Baftas this Sunday. Here's a few looks that deserve a round of applause.

JLS in grey matching suits, the guys looked very dapper! A round of applause to their stylist.

Alicia Keys stole the night for me in this black metallic sequined dress. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her Louboutin shoes, they're BAD!!!!

Cat Deely looked fab in this mini dress, Jimmy Choo's Glenys heels and box clutch.

Leone Lewis opted for a metallic silver William Tempest dress teamed with pink lipstick and shoes. This isn't a favourite of mine but it was  nice to see Leona switch it up. You go girl!

Return Of Dru Hill????

This song isn't too bad, but the video's left me baffled. I can't call this one....should Dru Hill just call it a day?!?!? The concept isn't that great and the whole dancing at the bottom of the stairs is reminiscent of the Sleeping in My Bed video. Which was shot about ten years ago and yet still looks better than this. Plus the choreography is at level one, I know, I know people get old and stiff and all that jazz but still! This video just lacks oomph. Maybe the guys didn't have much of a budget or maybe it's just the end of the road. I’m not even going to entertain Nokios current look.

Week 18 Of My Journey Getting To New York.

I didn't do half the things I'd planned  this week in relation to my trip. I’m yet to put some money aside for rent; I've got 2 weeks until the month is out. Where has February gone? Time is beginning to fly now and I still have a few loose ends to tie up. Plus I need to renew my passport; I better do that this month.

I began to get pieces of audio together for a little demo CD I’m going to take with me. It will contain packages I've made, snippets of my entertainment slot and adverts I've voiced. I need to showcase my skills and I haven't ruled out the opportunity of making a quick dollar whilst out there.

It seems at least 5 of my friends are going to be in the States during the month of August. This is such a contrast compared to my trip nearly 2 years ago when I was all on my lonesome. I am faithful that everything will work out okay, regardless of how the situation looks at present.
