Hopefully I'll have time to sun myself a bit and Clare will hopefully have time to hit the shops...Who said working in fashion was glamourous?

Hope we can blag an upgrade!

Can we get a credit card please?

Yesterday & the day before was.. yep you guessed it- more press days. The time had come for the biggies! Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Marks and Spencer, House of Fraser & Urban Outfitters.. (and breathe!)
Topshop was amazing- so many fab bits for next season. We LOVED the traveller story- so many studded, embellished and 'worn' dresses and waistcoats (think schlepping round Ibiza looking glam). We are literally applying for credit cards as we speak so we can buy everything! Miss Selfridge was really strong aswell with a gorgeous nude collection and circus themed bright quirky coloured tutu's and printed jackets.
Dorothy Perkins had some great nautical pieces- always a winner for the summer! and we were really surprised by Marks and Spencer- It seemed alot younger and had loads of really key on trend pieces!
We always look forward to House of Fraser as the guys there are soooo nice! they are such a cool little team and always make us feel welcome, we end up chatting there for hours without actually doing any work! whoops! They have launched a new boutique Label called 'Label Lab' which is full of great embellished dresses-so keep an eye out for that next season!
Urban Outfitters was great aswell- cute cropped tops and some great denim. They've launched an own brand sunglasses range which is full of candy coloured and floral wayfarers which we're sure will be everywhere come summer.

Last night we rocked up to the Lacoste light box party in Covent Garden- It literally was a blow up inflatable light box smack bang in the centre of covent garden. Alice Dellal, Nick Grimshaw, Mr Hudson & Ben Grimes spun some amazing tunes on the decks and the free champers flowed and flowed and flowed.... ahh pass the aspirin please.

The Betty Bottle..


Ooohhh Look what we just got sent!

A limited Edition Diet Coke bottle designed by Patricia Field (she styles Sex and the City). Not only is it pink but pink leopard print! A-mazing!! It comes with a cute book of stickers of accessories and clothing that Betty wears in the current series of Ugly Betty so you can customise the bottle into a mini Betty!
Its only available at Selfridges and like we said is Limited Edition! So run and get yours now - quick quick quick quick....

Mulberry + Apple = LOVE




Mulberry have just teamed up with Apple to make these beautiful laptop cases. Now if there has ever been an excuse to want to do some work, this MUST be it! These cases are still quite pricey at £350 a pop but we reckon we could sweet talk our parents if it means protecting our laptop, as they're probably the most practical bags out there! They are going to be available from Selfridges later this month or available online.

Style Crush...



Alexa Chung was out in New York last night at the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Awards looking HOT! We miss you Alexa! Come back to Blighty!

Style Spotting...

The past few days have been manic yet again with press day madness not giving us any sign of easing up in the near future! On a brief break from trawling London laden with Spring Summer Look Books we took to the streets to do a bit of street style spotting.. You never really realise how stylish Londoners are until you sit and really watch people walk by. So many people don't follow the trends and tend to mix and mash pieces they like together which is the type of style we like so we are always in our element in London. Its all about throwing things together that don't actually go but still managing to look damn cool (yes Fearne Cotton we are talking about you too!) We went to our favourite style hot spot (Outside Topshop Oxford Circus) to scout out some of our City's stylish peeps! Everyone was loving the leopard print so we decided that that was our fashion fix of the day. We found some amazing girls with such a quirky, cool sense of style. It really inspired us and just made us want to shop! (even more than usual!)

Today we went to the Nine West Spring/Summer collection launch and feasted our beady eyes on what they have in store for us this summer! amazing embellished flats and gorgeous nude studded strappy sandals! yipee! We'll take two pairs! (size 6 & a 4 if your asking)

Tonight we are strutting our fashion funky stuff at the spanking new Carnaby store launch of 'YOUR EYES LIE'. They do the most amazing printed T-shirts & jewellery so we are excited to get our hands on the 20% press discount that they are offering tonight! Oh and the free booze....

Your Eyes Lie Store Launch...

Wicked Wildfox!

We are Scorpio & Gemini! Cant wait to rock ours with skinny jeans and biker boots! wahey..

Todays freebies!



Here are some of the fab gifts we got in our goody bags today!

When it rains.. It pours.

We've been out on press days all day and we are exhausted! Tottering round London with bags and bags of lookbooks in the rain is not our idea of fun! arrghhh! Anyway we did see the amazing new Spring/Summer collection at Jaeger which was full of fab prints and gorgoeus monochrome- we even got £100 gift voucher on arrival! woo hoo!
Next was Reiss (one of our favourites!) - The collection was to die for! nudes, embellishment and nautical all mixed into one capsule.. we cant wait for it to hit the stores!
Tesco Clothing was one of the biggest shocks of the day for us- It was so nice! gorgoeus little crop tops, fab denim and lots of bang on trend candy colours- not to forget the great swimwear.
Karen Millen was as sexy and classy as usual but with a bit of studded leather thrown in for good measure! the accessories were statement and definately on our must have list for next season!
Pinko was another favourite of ours! sooo many sequins! and we LOVE a sequin... The collection was really wearable -If you have the bank balance that is!
Anyway have had enough fashion fun for one day so we are taking our goody bags and heading our for a glass of well deserved vino!

They're so cute and come in a selection of colours, you literally feel like a kid in a candy shop! We particularly loved the brown suede fringe ones and the classic black with chain handle.

Pixie Style



Well the MTV Europe Music awards were last night and that always guarantees a night of great fashion..... even if some of it was a little strange! Our style crush of the moment is Pixie Lott and we're loving her ultra glam little black D&G dress. Well done to Pixie who won the Best UK Newcomer award and stood tall in these beautiful crystal shoes, talk about major shoe envy!

Press Day Madness..

Well last night we boogied our little socks off, or mega high heels rather to the Henry Holland beats at his launch for new collection at Debenhams. So many cute floral dresses and cropped tops (eek midriff) we can't wait for the collection to launch in stores.....apparently around Jan next year! We got given a Henry clutch bag as we left, now we LOVE Henry but not sure we want his face on our bags, meh!

Anyhoo today was a major struggle, doing 30 press days....on a hangover! But we pulled through till the end and boy was it worth it! We saw some HOT new Spring/Summer pieces at Gap and Banana Republic coming away with a gorgeous grey sweater which I reckon we'll probably both be rocking tomorrow along with the rest of the fashion pack! We're also loving the new collection for ASH shoes...we've got our eye on the khaki military boots with studs...hot, HOT! Then we saved the best till last and popped in to see the lovely Olivia Rubin, we know Fearne can't get enough of her dresses at the moment and neither can we! Word is that she's already put her order in for a lovely beige and white one shoulder dress for an awards event next week!

Anyhoo we are all fashioned out now and ready for bed, I mean home! Until another 30 press days creep up on us tomorrow...

Audio Love



We've just been sent some amazing new headphones from brand new fashion forward brand Audio Chi. Yes that's right everyones gone retro and the brighter the better!

We went for the purple quilted ones but we hear on the grapevine that Fearne Cotton has been sent the totally blinging gold ones, only Fearne could pull those bad boys off!

H by Henry Holland...



Tonight we are heading out to the 'H' by Henry Holland launch for his collaboration with Debenhams - We've heard on the grapevine that there is going to be free booze, free food & loads of celebs! Hurrah- what more could you want?!

This is what we're wearing!...

The Big 25!


So, we had a major major busy day today!! Its Tash's birthday so I got her this amazing Zoe & Morgan tiger mask necklace that she had seen at London Fashion Week- she was really shocked that I remembered and has been rocking it all day!
Press day madness has begun- so I've been out and about all day. Safilo showed us the new Juicy Couture sunglasses range that are pearlised pastel over sized Jackie O style that Miss Hilton will no doubt be getting her rich mitts on next season.
I headed onto Yellow Door where A-wear were showcasing their new collection which was full on studs with a military jacket with embellished shoulder to die for!
I also found out that Paul & Joe are collaborating with Havaianas for a special spring/summer collection- super cute pastel colours which is a HUGE trend for next year.

Phew! & after all that I cant wait for a glass of champers tonight!

Clare x


So I got well and truly spoilt today for my big 25! The necklace Clare got me is gorgeous and I am literally never taking it off! I was so busy in the office today that I didn't go out on press days and left Clare to snap away all the keys pieces on her own (but she got fab goody bags so cant complain!).. I had another surprise when I got into the office- not only had Clare made me chocolate brownies but I was told I was allowed to go on a shoot with Danny Dyer!! Arrghh I love him. He was sooo hot! What an amazing birthday!
