I still can’t belive that i have been nominated in the Company magazine style blogger awards, just when I was hitting a kind of blogger slump my efforts have been recognised in two categories “ most gorgeous photography” and “best fashion insider”, and I’m up against some strong competition, but a girl can dream can’t she? I am especially proud of the photography nod, as I have spent serious time, and effort on that aspect of the blog, and I know you might roll your eyes at the next statement but I don’t mind if I don’t win (although I would love to) it’s such an honour to be nominated, believe me its true, as there are literally thousands of blogs out there and to be longlisted is an accomplishment. Click on my revamped vote button( It’s a picture I took at the Mark Fast SS12 catwalk, I wanted to showcase exactly why I was nominated, plus I don’t like to do things the same as everyone else) to vote for Adorngirl as well as your favourites in other categories such as “best vintage”, and “best what I wore today.”

Tiny Tatty Teddy

If for whatever reason this is the first time you are visiting my blog, this is not a mummy/baby blog but darnnit my twin girls are so cute I just can’t help myself but include them; this is a fashion and lifestyle site, and these bundles of blub are part of my life, and who says they can’t be part of a fashion story? The fun part of having baby girls is the dressing up, they grow so fast so you tend to have to buy months ahead so they don’t just grow out of it in two days, and these adorable Indigo Baby dresses from Marks and Spencer were too cute to pass up; I am really not in to dressing the twins exactly the same, so I was spoilt for choice. Plus it’s nice to have some going out outfits for them, making a nice change-up from their regular stylish threads of baby gros, sleepsuits, and matching bibs.

The Muppets Are Coming

Miss B was right when she tweeted what else could make fashionistas come out on a cold rainy evening? why else but the glamour puss herself Miss Piggy, and the Muppet clan from our childhoods. Disney was unveiling a Muppetsinspired fashion range featuring fashion brand heavy hitters OPI, Opening Ceremony, Thomas Sabo, and the one, and only Giles Deacon who designed a dress especially for Miss Piggy. I was enamoured by the Noir range of statement rings, necklaces, and bracelets big, bold, and over the top reminiscent of the diva herself, but lets not forget the rest of the clan. Cuddly toys, bags, and cushions of Kermit, Animal, Fozzie Bear, and the gang were there too my daughter, and a few other kids that attended getting a chance to play, and just in case we forgot where it all originated we were given the privilege of previewing the Muppet movie set for general release February 10th. This event was the prefect excuse for a Mummy, and daughter day, but I never expected to enjoy the film so much (I thought it would be cheesy, and that I had outgrown it, ironic as that was the theme of the film) it was genuinely funny, with actual laugh out loud moments, my daughter giggling, and eating all the sweets I had packed, me coveting Miss Piggy’s hair wondering if it was time to try a bob with bangs…? check out the rest of the pictures from the night including some cute Fozzie Birkenstocks

pssst if you have time vote for Adorngirl.com in the Company Magazine style blogger awards. xx

Company Re-Styled

If there’s anything I love more than jewellery, and accessories (aside from my family) is magazines, the tally of bookcases in my house to accommodate my Vogue, Elle, Instyle among other titles (Lula, Bazaar, Twin, Love, Marie Claire, Glamour, I-D….) are three. Yep three large bookcases stacked with these fashion books that were and still is my library of inspiration. If you haven’t heard about the Company magazine re-design where have you been? under a rock, where no fashion news will venture? twitter has been a buzz, every few days a review of the new handbag sized edition and I thought I may put my in my two pence. So far the reviews have been glowing, and no surprise here this one will be too, as it really is that good. It is brave for an established publication to revamp a formula I can only assume was alright, personally I only brought Company occasionally depending on the free gift, and who graced the cover, the 18-30 demographic, something I fit in to as I am 27, but the content seemingly more for a much younger audience, and not enough fashion for my liking. The new look actually reminds me of a living blog, something I envisioned my blog to be like in print, there is a freeness with the mix of hard copy, and illustration, the graphics full of colour, overlapping, and plenty of photographs, it could almost be a set of collages within a fashion designers sketchbook. The beauty pages are actually my favourite part of the issue, when normally it is something I tend to skim past to get to the fashion editorial ( did you see the panda lips?) I like how they are not afraid to ask the people what they want it will be interesting to see how the Company collective pans out, their Facebook page which will offer previews, and allow the readers to contribute to future issues. I don’t think it is bandwagon hopping to feature bloggers, as quality blogging will continue to be a part of the new age fashion media, and the article featuring shiny thoughts, whishwhishwhish, and New Favourite thing highlighting fashion man repellers is genius. Continuing on that note Company have launched their first ever style blogger awards in association with New Look ( I’m nominated in 3 categories, yay) so get voting for your favourites.

Precious

Ever since I was gifted this cup, and saucer set from Twingings, I have probably only used it for its original purpose once, instead pimping it as an impromptu jewellery case. Don’t get me wrong I have jewellery boxes three in fact, a wood box with special compartments, and pull out drawers, plastic, a basic clear with pull out drawers to handle the over spill from the wood box and a storage trunk filled to the brim. Somehow this didn’t stop me picking up a few more pieces from H&M. I really didn’t mean to, I had some time to spare and wandered in ( I never learn), and these are the beauties I came out with, I am trying to choose which perfume can go in this precious vial necklace. I fully intend to wear the rings all at once, I mean God gave us ten fingers for a reason, right?

Lucile

Imagine my surprise attending the lingerie collective at the Music Rooms to be greeted by a buzzing room of at least 15 lingerie brands, I whispered to the receptionist “Is this a press event?” in which she replied that it was in fact for press and buyers( think wholesale, Poalita the one who actually invited me actively shooing me away in favour of talking solely to said buyers). For those that understand only last year the lingerie collective was in a little boutique with a handful of products, and has become the only established luxury lingerie trade show for independent brands, including Damaris I was in for a treat. The row of black lace, and delicate silks are what drew me to Lucile, there was an overriding trend of loungewear within the entire room, blouses, and gowns that could easily be worn as outerwear an audience none the wiser. Considering this brand is 100 years old, it’s pretty damn sexy with a vintage twist the logo the exact design the vendors own grandmother originated with all those years ago, as well as her illustrations atop the silk panties box. Continuing forward the brand have embodied the Duchess of Warwick, and the Queen of Spain, designing black silk negligees, white satin bras, suspenders, and silk briefs the expansive sashes tying into playful bows.

Luxe Life

I was super thrilled to be invited to the Atis Artemjevs showroom boutique, I was not familiar with the designer, but after checking through his uber chic site I was impressed with his ultra feminine collections, and wanted to meet the designer personally. On Fulham road a stones throw from Chanel, the designers store is a minimalist paradise everything jet black, the only colour coming from the current spring summer collection, effervescent yellows, orange, and an array of Read the rest of this page »
