Nails, Nails, Nails

bored and don't know what to do?! There's always one thing to keep you occupied and you have a blank canvas to be as creative as wild as you like on, and that's your nails! Be it finger or toe nails, painting them can keep you occupied and you definitely feel happier when they're looking prim and proper.

But then what can you do with your nails? I can imagine a lot of you have an extremely large collection of nails polishes, (I sure do). This was a while ago but when I couldn't decide on one colour for my nails I just did them every colour, but they look pretty nifty. Ice cream colour galore!

More recently I have ventured into doing ombre nails as they're pretty easy to do and the end result is brilliant! Here are two attempts at it,

Above is when I went a bit crazy on my obsession with all things ginger, but ombre nails are incredibly pretty and so easy to do!

Basically all is needed is two colours, a white base then a clear top coat. Apply the white base, then once that has dried apply a few strips of each colour onto a sponge so the colours are side by side each other. Then dab the sponge onto your nails, it doesn't matter if it goes all over your fingers just use a cotton bud and nail varnish remover later. When you get the desired effect apply 1-2 coats of clear nail polish to make sure it stays in place for a few days and viola! Ombre nails ready to be shown off to everyone.

That's one way to keep you entertained if you find yourself short of things to do.

I hope they turn out alright for you as they did for me!

Stag House Fashion Show in Newcastle

"Creating fashion shows to promote new and upcoming designers within the north and throughout the UK. Creating Opportunity."

Okay, it's been a week today since the Stag House fashion show which I have to say was amazing! With feature clothing from Apparel Polo, Rita Roushdy, Goldiva, Yeh Designs and it also featured Fitri Alamsjah, who is an amazing upcoming designer with a unique flare to their wonderful collection.


How the night panned out...
I went with a couple of friends from University who wanted to view the show for research on their own, and with them there it made the night all the better! It all started with a champagne reception (what’s not to love about that!) and after having a chat with some of the hosts and people viewing the show we entered the Chandelier suite of the venue to start the catwalk show. Now that room in itself was beautiful! A very historic room with low hanging chandeliers with a high ceiling was our view for the evening, very grand indeed.

The show was about two hours long and there was a range of entertainment acts in between including two singers and a dance act, we were spoilt for entertainment! The room was packed with friends and family of the designers which was nice to see all the support everyone was receiving.

The Designers...
The designers were all unique and each brought something different to the show. I have to say they did save the best till last the host of the show Apparel Polo stole the night the clothes were incredible, and having some eye candy definitely helped! From the velvet jacket, to the oversized bags so much work and effort went into this collection as did for the rest of the designers. 

Although all the collections each had wonderfully superb designs, I felt a lot lacked consistency with the outfits but some of the garments were amazing and the detail in them was incredible. It was altogether an amazing show and everyone involved should be extremely proud!
 

They say a photo says a thousand words so here are the snaps I took from the night I hope you enjoy! And watch out for the next Stag House fashion show that will be coming again soon… 

The last few images were captured by a photographer on the night but I had to include them as they show Apparel Polo's designs so well, and I had to share their amazing clothes with you!

Also this girl was amazing, I have never seen a girl with longer legs! I am sure my height would be the length of her legs, the outfit and styling on her was perfect as well.

And that was the night! If you ever get a chance to go to a fashion show even if it is just a small one, you must definitely go they're absolutely brilliant to watch and you will no doubt have a fantastic time. I have another fashion show lined up in a couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for the details on that!

Ciao for now! 

Stag House Fashion Show

First post on the new layout but as you can see my blog still has a fair way to go before I think it's complete! This post needs to be created though and I am very excited to talk about it.

On the 12th April (next Friday night) something very special is happening in Newcastle.

After much time of planning and organising for this event it has all come together and this event is the Stag House Live Fashion Show! This will be the first show I am blogging about and have to say am super thrilled to even have the chance, which is why I am telling all you lovely people about it. So anyone in the North East  needs to come over to this!

It is taking place in the Chandeilur Suite at the Assembly rooms, Newcastle between 7 and 11. There are various designers from all over the UK who will be involved and a designer from Indonesia is also taking part.

There is also a Champagne reception, 9 amazing brands, and entertainment acts throughout the night and a surprise still to be revealed on the night! And who doesn't like a good surprise?

This is how the night will pan out;

First hour of the show: there will be mannequin displays of an outfit from each designer, Look-books, and Champagne reception.

Second and third hour: Catwalk with entertainment breaks

Four hour: Pop up shops from the designers, so if anything catches your eye you can snap it up the very same evening. What is not to love about that!

So if any of you lovely folk are interested the tickets cost £10, and all the info to get tickets are shown in the poster below. So why not have some fun and see some amazing designs on the catwalk, not a bad way to spend a Friday night. But if you can't make it I'll be blogging all about the night, on the night and after so you won't miss a thing!

Revamp

I apologise for my complete uselessness at being able to do constant posts! I am currently re-vamping this blog and hopefully then it will give me inspiration to create more posts and get in the habit of doing them frequently.

It'll have more of a space theme if you can already tell as this is something I am completely infatuated with but I'll still natter on about the same subjects; fashion, beauty and all that jazz.

The blogging mojo will come back to me!
