My Wish List!

As a girl who loves fashion, I've created a wish list of items, collected over the years of iconic pieces that have caught my eye from famous designers including Vivienne Westwood and Christian Louboutin. Hopefully sometime in the future I will be add these beautiful designs to my wardrobe.

                                          The Shoes

Daffodile black platform shoes, £635.00


French footwear designer Christian Louboutin is most recognised for the red platformed sole which makes his style iconic. This versatile daffodile style is designed with kid leather and a 160mm heel, which will put you heads above the rest in the style stakes. Ideal for a stylish day look, make the shoes the statement and keep the rest of the style neutral. Or opt for a fitted bodycon style dress and team with a black leather clutch bag, to make you red carpet fabulous.
From the first time I slipped my foot in the smooth elegant design of the Louboutin, I have been hooked with this designer and hope my shoe dream will come true.

                                           The Handbag

Classic Orb Coconut Bag Black, £745.00





 
British designer Vivienne Westwood is most iconic for the classic orb design on her products. This leather bag is designed with a crocodile skin effect and finished with the golden orb on the outside with a classic grey scribble Orb lining. I love the versality of this product, the black colour design will go with any outfit whether day or night and is the perfect size to carry all your daily essentials. It is my must have handbag on my wish list.

                                      The Earrings



Tiffany solitaire diamond earrings, £870





 
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and these22 carat diamond earrings are too die for. These diamond sparklers are at the top of my wish list, a bit of bling brightens up your style and this classic design would never fade. Tiffany & Co. are famous for their exquisite jewellery designs and since I spotted the design in New York a couple of years ago, I’ve always dreamed of owning these diamonds.

We Will Rock You Theatre Review

 
We Will Rock You is a west-end jukebox musical based on the songs of rock legends Queen named after the toe-tapping single of the same name. The 10-year-sell-out international production written by funny-man Ben Elton in collaboration with Queen superstars Brian May and Roger Taylor has fans dancing in their seats in 15 countries worldwide.
 
The Dominion Theatre’s longest ever running production didn’t fail to disappoint; there was music, dancing, lights and the best two and half hours of my life put together in a show stopping magical production.
 
The plot was a very powerful and current theme for the 21st Century; set in the dystopian future of Planet Mall, the rock rebel bohemians want to change the Ga-Ga world of music downloading and re-discover the Golden Age of real bands creating real music.
 
Out of this world stage production captured the futuristic element with a jaw dropping set that veered out over the heads of the audience and rock-tastic costumes that mirrored pop legends Madonna and Robbie Williams.
 
Brenda Roberts’s energy had mums, dads, grandmas and granddads and even the kids singing along in her phenomenal portrayal of Killer Queen with her pitch perfect voice and booty shaking moves.
 
Most definitely it was the outstanding brilliance of the orchestra who packed out the theatre with their instrumental rendition of Queen’s top rock hits, who stole the show.
 
The sheer buzz and excitement of people leaving the theatre, showed how no matter where you were sitting or how much a fan you were of Queen before the show, you couldn’t help but love We Will Rock You.
 
It rocked to Number one on my theatre review.

Kardashian Kollection

The three sisters: Khloe, Kourtney and Kim, most famous for their reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians on E! have launched their Kardashian Kollection in high street fashion retailer Dorothy Perkins.
After the success of their DASH boutiques in New York and Miami, they decided to venture to the UK to give their eager fans the chance to steal the style of their favourite Kardashian.
Whether it's glamorous Kim, effortless Kourtney or laid back Khloe, there's a range of clothes, shoes and accessories to choose from.

After all the hype of the Kardashian Kollection mania had calmed down, I took a trip to the Dorothy Perkins store at the Trafford Centre in Manchester to see whether it would live up to my expectations.
In my honest opinion, I do believe there was a few select pieces I rather admired myself and they were reasonably priced but I could not quite imagine any of the Kardashians wearing these to a red carpet event.

My favourite pieces:
The Dress
 
Kardashian smoke print dress,£50
 
 
This tight fitted bodycon number is perfect if you've got Kardashian curves to extenuate. Designed with padded cups and a structured bodice, this smoke printed dress will create the ultimate sophisticated silhouette for a glamorous girly night out. Team with black platform heels, bright red lipstick and smokey eyes to achieve the iconic Kardashian look.
 
The Top
 
 

Kardashian black spot blouse, £35.00
 
This sheer black blouse is designed with elegance and sophistication in mind. The long sleeve ruffle neckline and textured spot mesh sleeves add texture to this feminine and chic design, perfect for a glamorous office look or cocktails with friends. Team with black skinny jeans and a splash a colour with a burgundy clutch and set of wedges which is bang on trend this season.
 
 
The clutch
 
 
 
Kardashian black box clutch, £30.00
 
 
 
This delicate snake skin clutch is an ideal accessory for a glamorous evening look. Available in both black and gold and complete with a detachable gold chain, you can carry this cute clutch or wear it on your shoulder. This accessory will either make the outfit as a statement piece or complement the look perfectly.
