CC Skye

Photobucket

Established in 2004, and based in Malibu CA USA. CC Skye are best known for "Edgy but elegant, fashion-forward jewellery and accessories" but have only just surfaced in my fashion peripheral with being one of Asos' latest brands and 'coming soon' on my-wardrobe.com. It seems to me that this US brand is becoming more apparent and lust-after in the UK market and even though they are not particularly unique I can see retailers of the likes of Topshop speedily copying their designs. And with their premium prices and, I assume great quality to go with, I can see why this brand would quickly take-off over here. Bunnyhug.com state CC Skye as being the most sort after hand-made jewellery. Nominated by GEN ART for their prestigious Best New Accessory Designer and with featured Magazines including: ELLE, In Style, People, US, In Touch, Life & Style, The Book L.A., Elle Girl, Flaunt, Cosmopolitan and so on.

Celebrity fans of CC SKYE include: Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Janet Jackson, Courtney Love, Denise Richards, Paris Hilton, Darryl Hannah, and most recently spotted being warn by The City's bitchy Olivia Palermo and Rihanna.

I'm a huge fan of the current range and fortunately for me I've managed to find this ring in the Outlet section of Asos for a steal £16! RRP £95!

www.shopfriiscompany.com

I stumbled across this website www.shopfriiscompany.com whilst admiring everything a fashion blogger was wearing. When I saw that many of her items were from 'Friis Company' I had to check it out! I was totally gutted when I went to the list of countries they ship to and the UK wasn't there! Bring it to us!!!

These are my faves

lookbook.nu

You probably all know about it but I only came across www.lookbook.nu a few weeks ago and I think it's great! I like scrolling down the homepage every few days just for something to look at really. That's all I really buy magazines such as Look for...to look at the images to feed my love for fashion! The website is also a great opportunity to promote your blog, especially if you make it onto the homepage from the website's voting system, or 'hype' as they call it. And it's a great way to discover new fashion blogs to follow. I particularly like these users:

The fight to get fit!

Now I work for a fitness company (we hold the main licenses for Reebok, adidas etc fitness equipment) along with going out with a professional athlete I can't avoid the subject of exercise. I guess with exercise being all around me and the fact that I'm not at all fit or happy with my non-toned, lethargic self, I decided I needed to a plan of action. I started off with eating healthily for 3 weeks... no complex carbs for my evening meal etc. I did really well but gave in and binged on icecream, cake and white bread rolls last weekend at a BBQ! The odd treat here and there is obviously allowed though but once I got a taste for bad food again there was no stopping me for a couple of days! I am now back on track, but eating healthily isn't enough. A friend from work and I decided to go for a jog every Wednesday night, and go to the gym every Friday night. It's perfect as we work 5 mins away from the huge centre parc style woods by my home, and we get free gym membership with work at DW gym which is also very near by. Plus we finish at 4.30 on Fridays so its not too busy, and Hannan is very fit and pushes me to my max so she's a great training partner.

My boyfriend who is Great Britain's no.1 long jumper is a great influence but he goes through different phases with food... sometimes he'll be very strict, usually around the time of competitions (May-Sept) but at other times he will eat healthy meals but binge on junk snacks such as icecream, cake, etc! (He can though as he works out 4 hours 6 days a week - I do nothing!) At the moment though he is on a strict no carb high protein diet in preparation for the European Games at the end of July so it is easy for me to eat healthily as we live together so I eat what he eats! A friend of ours has just moved in with us and he does amateur athletics so he is also a great influence. This week I have been for jogs with the both of them while we walk our dogs. Together they started to teach me how to run, which to some might sound plain and simple but actually there is so much to running properly. I'm trying to learn how to run most efficiently so that I can jog for longer. At the moment things are going pretty well, but I think it has something to do with all the good weather we've been having. Sunshine puts me in a good mood therefore makes me feel motivated, and it is also obviously so much more enjoyable being out jogging in the sunshine than the cold and rain! I'm not at all someone that enjoys exercise, I find it a great struggle but I'm forcing myselfSo time will tell... hopefully I will blog shortly about my continued success and not about giving into the easy life!

Check out www.feelfit.com it's a great fitness website that is cross between a social networking website and foursquare. It is doing extraordinarily well and is about to collaborate with us, Reebok.

Miroslava Mikheeva-Duma

Miroslava Mikheeva-Duma, 25 year old Russian socialite and editor at Harper's Bazaar Russia doesn't always hit the nail on the head, but when she does, she does it well. Here are some of my favourate examples of her style.

Glee perform at The White House Easter Egg Roll 2010!

Seeing as I am currently visiting the States I thought that it would be rude not to document a national event on my blog.

The singing and dancing cast that everybody loves gave a live performance at the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll yesterday. Here are a few cute images that I thought fellow Glee fans might enjoy.

Oh and FYI... Due to the success of the first installment of the show, FOX has already ordered a second season of the show and announced that it will soon be launching a nationwide search to cast three new roles, which will be documented on the network in the multi-part special. These newest additions will make their debut on the second season premiere. Cannot wait!

'The Biebs' as Perez would put it also performed. He's an arrogant little beep but I secretly love his music!! Look at him go!

Sky Ferreira

She's the next big thing to come out of the LA music scene... she's also beautiful, talented, fashionable, friends with Katy Perry and only 17.

She is rumored be collaborating with Britney Spears on a 90s-style electro track produced by Cisco Adler titled 'Age is Just a Number'.

But what I'm most interested in is her mix of great style, predominantly dark vintage punk and light feminine romance... both with a real 70s and 80s vibe. She's a little irritating in interviews but man she knows how to look good!

Oh and on a bitchy note, she'd be less than half as striking without her incredible hair, right?

Love birds looking suave

Photobucket

My current favourate couple were looking extremely suave and in love whilst displaying Katy's new engagement ring at a gala event in Beverly Hills on Saturday night. I follow both of them on Twitter and can't get enough of their twitpics of them with Katy Purry - Katy's cat and their constant showing of affection to each other. One example being this:

"I call this little number "cat-nips". FILTHY! X" - Russell's post last night of Katy Purry. Sickeningly adorable!
