Voom Vintage

- Exclusive Vintage & Bespoke Evening Wear -

New vintage stall VavaVoom Vintage opened in my local town just over a month ago and they have some amazing pieces at reasonable prices worth checking out. The company started by passionate vintage fan Gemma Gray appears to be doing well with its inspiring collection and fun atmosphere surrounding the one off stall.

Below is a few of my personal favourites from a recent photoshoot they did to help promote some of their garments for sale.

Hue of Pink

The hot trend already kicking off for Spring/Summer 2012 - Pink Hair!!!
It's already been seen on celebrities - Lily Allen, Katy Perry, Amelia Lily, Nicki Minaj and Ellie Goulding,
The quirky flash of colour has also been seen on models Charlotte Free, Couurtney Vogler, Abbey Free and Anastasia Silveri. Even my best friend has followed this bold trend, as fun as it is - it's hard to keep up as it fades quickly but if you're daring enough go for it and enjoy all the comments I'm sure you'll reep.

Hunger

Hunger Magazine and TV Launch


The Hunger is a biannual magazine. It launched in November 2011, The Hunger was born from Rankin’s desire to celebrate the innate drive that we all possess and that, with a bit of creativity, can be used as an impetus for cultural change.
20 years after Dazed & Confused was founded, and 10 years after the birth of AnOther, The Hunger provides creative beings with a new platform for uncompromised self-expression, innovation and discovery. Working with recognised and emerging talents in the arts, fashion and editorial, The Hunger seeks out cultural progression and distinction. Each issue of the magazine features both a male and female cover.
Hungertv.com was launched simultaneously with the magazine. The ground-breaking video-based website features exclusive in-depth interviews and fashion films with those in the magazine, as well as regular stories on other stars, updates from The Hunger team, and previews of content for upcoming issues.




ISSUE 1
Welsh actor Rhys Ifans and intriguing young songwriter Sky Ferreira took to the covers for the launch issue of The Hunger. Rhys and Sky epitomise the spirit of The Hunger, passionate about their craft, yet with an unwavering integrity, never sacrificing their sense of self for their career.
Inside, we speak to legends and fresh faces of film, television, literature, music, art and fashion. Terence Stamp discusses why being shunned by the film industry as a young actor was a blessing in disguise; The Winstone family invited us to their family home for an old-fashioned knees up, and Ray explains why, as long as his family are happy, he’ll never worry about the future; Anna Friel grills her friend, folk star Fionn Regan, on what inspires him; and Erin O’Connor divulges why she is finally ready to express her often ignored femininity – as seen in our shoot. Interviews with Olivia Williams, Hayley Atwell, James Corden, Jeremy Scott, Giggs, Freddie Fox, DELS, Kathy Burke, Michael Sheen and Lucy Liu also feature in the magazine, with most also available to watch exclusively on hungertv.com.

For our fashion stories, we shot Kelis, Cheryl Cole, Holliday Grainger, Portia Freeman, Heidi Klum, Milla Jovovich, Giggs and DELS, styled by Maryam Malakpour, Way Perry, Daniella Jung, William Gilchrist, Laura Duncan and Anna Hughes-Chamberlain to name a few.

Tuxedo On Top

I'm a huge fan of Beyonce's latest single 'Love On Top' but the video for it is somewhat weak although I took a bit of a shining to these 3 gorgeous Tuxedo Suits as show below. Even in a jacket and trouser combo she still looks as godess like as ever.

Selfridges White Christmas


For me they are always the most breath taking christmas displays in the world!
This year Selfridges have gone for a 'White Christmas' theme and it's just as magical as ever.


Watch the video below for all the behind the scenes and concepts of making a window for Selfridges.

Sophia Grace & Rosie Brownlee

So here's the new massive duo that have blown up from youtube, Essex girls Sophia Grace, 8 and her cousin Rosie, 5. After their video of Sophia Grace belting out every single word acapella without any mistake of  Nicki Minaj's track 'Superbass' and Rosie dancing alongside as the "hype" the girls have been thrown to fame in the US now as guests on The Ellen Show making weekly appearances.
I'm a huge fan of TOWIE and these girls just remind me of mini versions of the TOWIE cast, they so sweet and just put a smile on your face in an instant.
I wouldn't put it past Sophia Grace that in a few years she'll be storming up the charts with her on songs.



Eye Charm

Eye Charm - False Eyelash Glue
This is by far the best glue I have come across so far, it goes on clear, is sticky straight away yet allows movement while you apply the lashes and makes me confident that they'll stay on all day/night without any retouches.
Another plus of this product is that it uses a brush rather than a stick for an easier application.
I purchase my Eye Charm from ebay as it's originally from Asia where you can buy it for as little as £1 - bargain!

Statement Blouses

Warehouse have added some stunning blouses to their new collection perfect for casual or occasion wear. The cream chiffon bead embellished placket and cuff blouse is ultra chic, and a reasonable price for this season staple item. The piece was spotted on Gok Wan's 'Get The Look For Less' show a few weeks ago, teamed with black leather look jeans created a rock n roll yet femine look. And also spotted lastnight being worn by Rosie Fortescue from 'Made In Chelsiea'.
L-R - £45 - £55 - £60

Sassy Sequins

Christmas is very well on it's way, so the high street is now offering its massive range of sparkly partywear ranges ready for the celebrations of this winters season.

Here's the current top picks of this trend from New Look seen mainly in Gold's, Nudes and Black.
