New Moon...

I am willing to admit that I jumped onto the Twilight bandwagon- because who doesn't love a band wagon?

And as soon as I read the first book (because you have to read the book before you see the film) I was 100% in love with Edward Cullen. Yes just like every other girl in the world it seems.

The fact that they cast Robert Pattinson as the vampire just re-inforced the love.

The 15 second teaser for New Moon:

Unsticky

I have just finished reading 'Unsticky' by Sarra Manning.

I bought it in a Waterstones on the way to Mull and since I got my hands on it I could not put it down.

It was the perfect fashion filled, funny and fabulous page turner to read with a cuppa tea while rain was pounding on the window.

I have read most of the teenage books she has written such as 'Guitar Girl' and 'Pretty Things' which I really enjoyed but I think this one, her debut adult novel, is her best yet.

Evo Festival

Wowee this years Evolution festival was the best yet.
In the end we saw White Lies, Human League, The Wombats, Nouvelle Vague, Little Boots, The Maccabees, The View and Dizzee Rascal.
Unfortunately Ladyhawke, Mystery Jets and more importantly Friendly Fires clashed with the headliners who were on the other stage so we had to miss them but it was all good because the bands we did see were brilliant.
Even the weather was amazing for most of the weekend (it did rain for a bit on Monday but I bought a fetching yellow waterproof cape which more than made up for it!)
Amazing weekend...

Little Boots- sorry about the rubbish quality...

Holiday Holiday Holiday

Sorry for my short absence I have been on a short family holiday to the Isle of Mull.
"Where the hell is Mull?" I hear you ask.
Well it is a remote Scottish Island where you can "drive for hours and not see a single soul."

Which I am sure lots of people might like the sound of, you know going on long walks and generally "getting away from it all" but it's not really my thing.

I still had a really good time though even if it is nice to be back home, catching up on Facebook and Britain's Got Talent...

Mix-and-Match Fashion: Bags and Shoes OR Bags and Sunglasses

Years ago, women were fond of accessorizing their wardrobe by wearing accents to match the pieces of their outfits. It has been noted that during 1950s, women acquired bags, belts, gloves, hats, shoes, jewelries and cosmetics in matching colors. They became so obsessed of this mix-and-match fashion statement that the legacy still lives on in today’s fashion trends. In addition, fashion styles in complementing colors is also a big hit nowadays.

Here's some of the perfect mix-and-match of bags and shoes and sunglasses for this summer!

The search for the ultimate pair of jeans...

So I went into TopShop on Thursday after school in the hope that I would find a nice new pair of jeans to where to Evolution (which is today- excited!)
How wrong I was.

All the jeans they had were 80's throwback, ripped and torn bleached denim. Or lots of pairs of jeggings (the jeans/leggings hybrid)
It's not even that I have a problem with these style jeans it's just that I don't like them on me.
So I picked out 6 pairs of what seemed like decent jeans but they all were either too big/too small/too baggy in the wrong places/too tight in the wrong places/wrong colour etc.

On one particular pair of "What was I thinking even picking these off he rack" jeans, which had everything going on (buttons, zips up the leg, bleached, ripped, the whole shebang) I refused to come out of the changing room in them. When my friend demanded to see them and I denied she tore open the curtain in front of the whole TopShop changing room and laughed out loud at the sight of me.
Not exactly the look I was going for (even though I can't blame her; I looked ridiculous)

But seriously is it that hard to find a pair of dark blue skinny (but not drainpipe cut-off-all-the-circulation-to-your-calves-tight) jeans?

Beth's search for the perfect pair of jeans continues...

Evolution Festival 09

Sooo excited about the Evolution Festival this weekend!

It is from Sunday to Bank Holiday Monday and Dizzee Rascal, Little Boots, White Lies, Mystery Jets, Friendly Fires, Ladyhawke and VV Brown are among the people performing even though there will be an indoor stage with loads of unsigned bands playing on top of that.

Festivals like this hardly ever happen in Newcastle so I am really looking forward to it.

Friends + Music (+ hopefully some sunshine) = Perfect Bank Holiday Weekend!
Now I just need to figure out what I am going to wear...

This woman is the most amazing fashion illustrator. The way she sketches clothes and portrays the girls wearing them is just breath taking.

Here is some of my favourites of hers:

Ashley Tisdale Beautiful American television producer

Ashley Tisdale was a Ford Model. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Tisdale made minor appearances on several television series such as George Lopez, Smart Guy, 7th Heaven, Strong Medicine and Bette, where she co-starred with Brenda Song for the first time. For her role in Boston Public she received a 2000 Young Artist Award nomination for "best guest performance in a TV drama". Tisdale had

Latest Style Obsession- "Florals for spring? Groundbreaking..."

Yes every spring when I inevitably think of buying something floral I always seem to hear Meryl Streep's aka Miranda Priestly's voice in my head from 'The Devil Wears Prada.'

So yes I agree it is not original but how can you resist?
Especially after seeing Luella's S/S 09 collection of flowery beauties and of course all the other fabulous stuff to be found on the highstreet...

Vivienne Westwood Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection @ Audi Fashion Festival in Singapore

Aside from the the models' joker faces, Viviene Westwood's Autumn/Winter 2009 Anglomania collection became a show-stopper at the Audi Fashion Festival held in Singapore last May 10. The show was about being bold and playful in the name of fashion. Westwood's Anglomania collection depicts the designer's iconic works to suit the younger generation.

Peeping through this collection, I sensed a strong vibration and a gushing energy. The younger audience must be really thrilled with this new set of wardrobe.

VCNY Presents Tulips & Pansies: The Headdress Affair

For their 8th annual, VCNY (Village Care of New York)presented a fashion show called Tulips & Pansies: The Headdress Affair. It was not an ordinary show where models walked at the runway with designers' clothes. In addition to great dresses, the florists made the models flaunt their bulky but stunning headpieces adorned with tulips, pansies and other beautiful flowers.
