Back to the seventies we go…

Wide leg jeans are back in style. Try wearing a high heel with them, it will make you legs look supermodel long!

Tuck in your shirt! These jeans are meant to be high waisted and they will look less flattering if you wear a long shirt.

 Topshop I found these jeans at Urban Outfitters on sale!

Last week I was out and passed a wall of graffiti I walk by on a regular basis, this time I decided to take some pictures.

I was in a small grocery store the other day and I found these pints of icecream from Rocombe Organics. The inspiration for their creative packaging came from British taste and style.  You can go to their website http://www.rocombe.com/ to see all their different flavors and outfits!

We threw a surprise party for a friend on Saturday and I was in charge of making a dip and these yummy cupcakes.  

Getting bigger and better!

Ralph Lauren: will be opening a new flagship store in the autumn of 2009 in New York City. The address will be 888 Madison Avenue on the corner of East 72nd Street and will stock only his Women’s and Home collections.

Tommy Hilfiger: has always sold their clothing in smaller boutiques and department stores, but now it is time for a change and they will be opening their first flagship store on fifth avenue in New York City in November.

Neal’s Yard Remedies: is one of the best shops for natural beauty and skincare products in London. They are looking to grow internationally and are also, surprise…surprise, looking into opening a larger store in the near future.

On being a style icon: “I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.”

Young, beautiful, and she’s got style!

Duffy is officially my new favorite singer (so far) this year.  You may have heard her number 1 hit single called Mercy on the radio maybe once, twice, or three times per hour. Simply stated, the girl has talent! Her voice in a way reminds me of Amy Winehouse and by no means am I comparing Duffy to Amy, but they both have such unique and beautiful voices. I don’t think she has made her mark in the USA just yet, but I highly recommend that all you non-Brits download her song if not her entire album from itunes.

Take a look at her website and myspace pages for more information about the 23 year old Welsh singer.

It’s all about the ‘mini’ in Miu Miu’s Spring-Summer collection: Mini dresses, mini skirts, and mini shorts. The skirts and shorts are teamed up with sheer blouses to give a very feminine look. Could this be Miuccia Prada’s way of telling us it’s time to get our legs in shape? I’m not entirely sure if I would be brave enough to bare my legs like this, would you!?

Topshop is full of printed tees and the best part about them is that they are really cheap! Prices for the black and white shirts are only £16.00. 

I wanted to show this dress because it is wonderful for the spring. It also reminds me of Stella McCartney’s dresses from her S/S 07-08 collection (probably where the inspiration came from!).

This is an email Neal sent me this morning, it’s hilarious! 

Can ALL men please print and keep in your wallet for reference!!!

 9 WORDS WOMEN USE
      
        (1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
      
        (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
      
        (3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in ” fine ” .
      
        (4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
      
        (5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
      
        (6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
      
        (7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says “Thanks a lot” - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “you’re welcome” … that will bring on a “whatever”).
      
        (8) Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying “F*** YOU” !
      
        (9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response refer to # 3.
