The Jam - A Town Called Malice

Thanks,ButI'dRatherFakeIt

It's seem like lately everyone is talking about transfer tattoos (No, not the type you used to get from those machines down at the shops when you were 8)

This is all thanks to Rodarte, Jean Paul Gaultier and, most notably Chanel.

As I'm a total wuss and would never get a real one, this idea seems like a fun alternative :)

Most seem to be a cross between a tattoo and a piece of jewellery, are available in a wild range of colours and last for around 4 days.

Prices start at €14.99 from brastraps.ie which isn't too bad for one of this year's biggest trends!

RingStacking

When it comes to jewellery this season, more is definitely good. Ring stacking, wearing two or more rings on one finger, is the hot trend for 2010 and Daisy Jewellery has some excellent examples.

The fashion editors at Cosmopolitan and Grazia magazine are already huge fans of ring stacking and Daisy Jewellery is fast becoming a favourite with celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan and makeup artist Jemma Kidd.

Individual rings range in price from €30 to €94...which is fairly steep but there is a lot of choice from ring just as nice in highstreet shops such as Miss Selfridge, Dorethy Perkins and of course Primark! :)

ARoughDiamond

Marina Diamandis or 'Marina and the Diamonds' which is her stage name, is set to be one of this years biggest music stars. Growing up in Wales with her Welsh mother and Greek father, she has been compared to the likes of Kate Bush with her musical style ranging from keyboard-based ballads to more up-tempo new wave-style songs with full band backing. She quickly rose to fame after reaching number two on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list, coming second to Ellie Goulding, whom I also like . I love Marina's eclectic sense of style which isn't just about trying to be noticed (see Miss GaGa) She wears exciting and classic clothes that compliment her amazing figure and lets her great personality shine through...Can't wait to see and hear more.

LaModeDeMoto

These shoes are just too flippin cool, the stud detail on the wedge heel is just amazing..biker chic anyone? They are by Jeffrey Campbell and will set you back $150...hmm counting them as an investment piece might lessen my guilt just a little.

Acne Summer 2010 Collection

Just look at those metal plated leggings...I want a pair so bad. A lot of tassle detailing in this collection too such as the black leggings and suede blazer. The collection doesn't exactly strike me as summery though..what do you thing?

FieryFlorence

"Singing takes over your whole body and your brain. It’s like coming back from a weird place every time you stop"

One of my favourite bands at the moment is 'Florence + the Machine' who's frontwoman is the lovely and quirky Florence Welch. I saw them live in Dublin recently and  loved how she interacted so well with the crowd. To me her style is effortless and personal, it really shows her kooky personality and isn't too groomed which is what i really like about her.

Alexa Chung's collection for Madewell....LOVE IT!!

ClassicBrigitteBardotHair

Step 1: Wash and dry your hair, rinse well ensuring not to leave any conditioner. Comb through gently to take out any knots.

Step 2: Add a small amount of serum to your hair and some light mouse at the roots will help give your hair volume. Blow dry your hair with your head down and using paddle brush

Step 3: When your hair is completely dry backcomb it to give lots of volume towards the back of your head. When your hair has the desired volume take two sections of hair from the front and pin them back loosely. Leave some strands of hair towards the front of your face to emulate the Brigitte Bardot look. Use your favourite hairspray (mine is Wella's Silvikrin in firm hold) to hold the style.

FauxLagerfeld

It may not be the real thing, but i'm sure it's a hell of a lot more entertaining. Check out (fake) Karl Lagerfeld's Twitter - FakeKarl

Here are a few funny things he has tweeted..

- "Wondering why a man's wearing a baseball cap in front row. Did he mistake the show for Disney World?"

- "Apparently it's Valentine's day. Human emotion bores me."

- "Coco Chanel didn't "invent" or "create" the little black dress - she stole it. And managed to convince everyone it was her idea."

- "Whipping the seamstresses. It's couture. That's what you pay for, hm?"

Sunday was spent recovering under my duvet with copious amounts of tea & toast...yumm. Off college for the week so going to catch up with some work and visit my parents, can't wait :D Hope you all had a lovely weekend however you spent it! x

NightOutEssentials

When i go out for a night on the town I like to be well prepared but then again I hate carrying around a full bag all night, especially when there's some dancing to be done!

Here is what i usually bring with me on a night out:

• Purse
• Seperate cash in case I lose my purse
• Phone
• I.D.
• Lipstick
• Eyeliner
• Powder + Brush
• Concealer
• Small hair comb
• Plasters
• Chewing Gum
• Mini hairspray
• Pen

..............etc...

So i was just wondering what are your night out essentials? are you a minimalist with only the bare necessities or do you like to pack that poor sequined clutch as if you're going away for the weekend?..

TheWishlist

• Topshop Vintage Denim Biker Jacket £45...This jacket is so beautiful and it would go with anything, i need it!!
• NARS Sabrina Lip Balm $24...Saw this lipstick/lipbalm in a magazine review lately and have coveted it ever since, an amzing colour and it has SPF too..what's not to like?!
• Lush Candy Fluff dusting powder £6.10...Got a smell of this in Lush at the weekend..ooh yummy
• Barry M Mint Green Nail Paint £2.95...I really like mint nail polish lately, perfect for spring
• Accessorize Oversized Bow Alice Band £6...Tavi anyone?
• ASOS Leather Slouch Bag €93...In desperate need of a new everyday bag!
