Monsters - make beautiful Music

I have recently been introduced to the beautiful sound of Angus Powell...

https://twitter.com/anguspowell

His website says he:

'Sounds Like: Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow, Justin Nozuka, Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne'.

However, I think is angelic voice is completely individual to the music scene at the moment.

His debut EP is called Monsters and is out now!  His tracks can be found on his website. I highly recommend you have a listen! 

I would definitely love to use the music at a future fashion show of mine!

Nothing Like A Catchup In Fashion

Had such a lovely day yesterday returning to STELLA&ALF after too long ( gosh I missed that place)!
So much exciting stuff going on; new items for the collection and a new website to show these off launching very soon!
In the meantime I highly suggest you visit their blog!

.. Or even better visit them in person at The Old Tile Works, Barton!
I also had a great catchup yesterday with a friend of mine at the coffee shop restaurant there... Mmm - delicious!

Bloomin' Romantics

Womanly charm is the main key to the season for  female fashion.. 

This, like most major trends causes sub styles.. 

Mood, Romance and Florals accompany one another to create a sophisticated, yet sensually seductive style suited to the season. 

Burnt oranges, reds and blacks

Over ripe hues across dark silks and chiffons

Dark florals

Glamour

Sober skirt lengths

Severe Necklines

Givenchy

 Christopher Kane 

 Dolce & Gabbana

 Gucci

Capes just for Captains?

Heroes wear them, vampires wear them, but should the metropolitan men of the world wear them? 

Well the fashion favourites seem to think so. Capes have hit the Autumn/ Winter 2013 Men's Catwalks heavily.

Valentino

They are not for everyone and can prove to be either very practical, or very unpractical depending on the wearer's lifestyle. However Fashion Fellas this is a must for you! 

Although Action Man is another trend this season, I suggest that you don't pair capes with Lycra Super -Hero suits to avoid style sabotage! 

INDiGO BEACH

I love finding new bands and have found that twitter is a great way to do so. 

Indie, Dance and Chart music are what I tend to listen to depending on my mood etc. 

The most recent band I have come to appreciate immensely is INDiGo BEACH.

They describe themselves as a:

'Pop // Indie // Rock Band, From Brighton and Lewe'

This is the music video to song that is currently my most played tune! Take a look! 

Follow them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IndigoBeachUK

Fashion and Alexander McQueen go together like Black and White

Made-up to Perfection... Prizes!!!!

I have been informed of an exciting competition today hosted by the lovely, bubbly Tina Brocklebank. 

This talented lady knows everything worth knowing about make-up having studied and worked in that field for many years. 

The makeup artist is giving away makeup 'from Bobbi Brown, Daniel Sandler and MAC! (UK ONLY)

5 items (worth about £70!). For more info check out the event page!'

Having been transformed myself by Tina for a STELLA&ALF photo-shoot, and being made to feel amazing thanks to her and the fabulous clothes, I would use her any time that I need to look my finest. 

Weddings, Proms, Photo-shoots and lessons (,which I intend to book sometime in the near future!), she does them all! I definitely recommend you like her page to get the latest on her work, makeup trends, competitions and all you need to know about makeup ... and her contact details of course!
