Pink Haired Princess

Happy Halloween! 'Tis a very important day for my kind (!) I actually very nearly cast a spell on a delivery man today, who had the audacity to take the mickey out of my hair, for the second time (kinda creepy that he remembered me from last time). I gave him the 'Gemma death stare' instead which we all know is far superior to any wicked spell as it's been used for at least 20 years and most definitely puts the fear in any man! Haha! Or muahahaha, I should say! Anyway, he brought me sparkly shoes, so I'll let it go this time. What are you all doing for Halloween? I don't have any parties ( not because of my death stare), but I wanted to get into the spirit (haha) with some fun, freaky nail art. I sat during X-Factor on Saturday with a pile of different colours and nail pens and just did it all free-hand. I wasn't even particularly sure of what I was going to do, but it all worked out wonderfully in the end. I was really impressed that I man...

Do you know what Kellogg's 'Tony the Tiger' has in common with Lady Gaga and The Queen? Well he celebrates his diamond jubilee this year (like the latter) and to celebrate has been given a little makeover by celebrity fashion designer Philip Armstrong, who has dressed the likes of Ms Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry! Armstrong has revamped the iconic neckerchief Tony wears, in vibrant red and purple animal stripes with a paw print. The neckerchief has changed position over the last 60 years but has never been redesigned until today. A small number of these scarves have been made, which will be available to buy in an online pop-up shop to commemorate the big 6-0. There will be 500 of the limited edition Philip Armstrong scarves available from 6pm on November 2nd priced £6.99 each. The shop will be on eBay or you can like the Facebook page for a chance to win one and for more info. All proceeds will be donated to Fareshare food banks to provide 12,000 ...

Miss Selfridge have just launched their ' Little Princess ' story in perfect timing for the forthcoming party season. The collection is super romantic in pastel shades with chiffon, metallics and luxe detailing such as lace, faux fur, brocade, embroidery and embellishment. It's such a beautiful range that I wanted to share it and I'm wishing more than ever that they produced bigger sizes! My favourite is this floral embroidered, lace shift dress £195 (sizes 4-16). It's expensive for the high-street, but it's part of their exclusive premium range and looking at the online images I feel you could easily mistake it for designer. Dolce & Gabbana have made very similar styles for example. It's absolutely stunning and a classic that I'd wear time and time again. I love the subdued colours and the embellishment which even carries over onto the sheer sleeves, just beautiful.  The range also includes separates such as sheer blouses, peplum tops, ...

Just a quick post tonight.  Remember the Love Moschino handbag debacle last month? Well I kept my eye out for further Moschino sales and one day Brandalley had a mixture of items and designers including one of the handbags I'd wanted. It was the nude quilted one and there was only one in stock. Normally I'd have danced around trying to justify the spend, instead I just chucked it in my basket and checked out as fast as I could! I had a £10 gift voucher to use, so that covered delivery and a bit extra. Sadly they didn't have the letter-logo one I wanted and I've still been looking for it, but no luck so far. I wonder if they did have it that day and it had already sold out before I'd logged on, because the items were just disappearing from the site rather than saying 'sold out' next to them. I'm kicking myself-although there's nothing I could have done (I'm just annoying like that). In the end the bag arrived before it would have done i...

You know I love glitter and sparkles and also shoes. So glitter shoes are a no-brainer! This season, sparkly uppers aren't enough though; embellishment has progressed to the soles.  Yep you heard right, glitter soles is where it's at girls!  I think it's utterly fan-freakin-tastic! I happen to own a pair of glitter soled shoes (my Kandee 'Diamonds') because y'all know I'm soooo ahead of the trends! However these savvy pairs have no glitter on the base, just sparkles where you can see 'em.  I can't see anything against having pretty soles to look at especially when it in no way affects the way you walk in the shoes and in these instances isn't ruined by walking on them.  Here's a selection of what Net-A-Porter currently have to offer The stones on these Lanvin crystal embellished pink satin courts  (£970) are exactly like those in the heel of my Fashionistas Corso Como suede courts.  I have to admit to finding several little cone shaped...
