mywardrobe Lauch Denim Pop-Up-Shop on Carnaby Street

Denim is hot news - for this season more so than ever. I have to admit, I love a bit of denim - which is why am very excited to hear that next week, mywardrobe are launching the first ever Denim bar Pop-Up Shop next week on London's uber trendy Carnaby Street. The temporary shop will be open from 12-8pm on 27-28th May whereby you can enjoy a Tanqueray No.10 my-martini, whilst browsing the SS10 denim collections (denim shopping is thirsty work ya know?!)

There are also five pairs of tickets up for grabs for the spectacular Denim Bar Launch Party on Wednesday evening - to be in with a chance of getting your mits on a pair, you have to take part in the 'Urban Denim Dash' - to find out more and where/how to enter, just follow the mywardrobe Facebook Page and check for updates.

The new mywardrobe Denim Bar (with the help of the my-wardrobe experts and guest stylists including thechicgeek) aims to show us how we can find the perfect pair of jeans according to our shape and our style preference. The 8 brands involved are J Brand, CURRENT/ELLIOT, 7 For All Mankind, Nudie, Paige, and Nobody and new designers for Autumn Winter 10 such as the new Vivienne Westwood/Lee Jeans collaboration.

Sounds very exciting right?? I was lucky enough to receive a gorgeous shiny gold invitation to the Launch Party next Weds evening which contained a Nudie denim pocket!

I can't wait to fill you in on all the excitement!

Products I'm Loving at the Moment

I thought I would share a video I recently made, going through a few beauty and makeup products that I am loving at the moment!

What are you must-have beauty or makeup items?

Topshop Makeup: Does it Live up to the Hype?

A little video on my thoughts.......

Clogtastic!

Yes, I know I've jumped a little late onto the clog bandwagon BUT as it looks like they'll be sticking around for Autumn/Winter they won't be banished to the back of my wardrobe by September! Look at these little beauties I found on ebay for a very budget conscious £30 (plus £3P&P).



Can't wait to wear them with some cute ankle socks!

Playing Catch Up

So this is the first post that I have written on here in a month - I can't believe how quickly time goes! But, I do have an excuse :) I have recently moved into a new flat and unfortunately couldn't get the internet installed for 2 weeks (gasp!) which set me back somewhat!

Other than moving, here are a few other things I have been up to-:

1) I have just launched my Virtual Assistant business (admin and editorial) which I have aptly named Your Laura.

2) I have also been working on blogs and videos for a cool new website called StyleFrame. You can check out the video I made for them below!



3) I'm incredibly excited to currently be writing for my all time favourite street style website Hypeed which is based in Paris. I wrote a post about Hypeed here last month. Check out our latest Trench Coat feature where we received some amazing contributions!

4) I am also now blogging (yes I know, I'm a blogging whore - apart from on my own blog) for the amazing shopping website Shop Pulse. My first blog on Style Royalty went live today and it was covering the New Look Autumn/Winter 2010/11 preview. You can read that post here.

So that is about it in the land of Miss Laura. I promise to be a little more active on here from now on however as my poor little blog has become somewhat neglected.

Lots of products to review and more fash-based trash to look forward to!

A Sneak Inside Whiteleys Pop Up Stores Launch Party

Thursday night saw the launch party of the Whiteleys Pop Up stores and I was lucky enough to receive an invite from the lovely Carina at Self Service. It was definitely quite the fash bash and the pop up shops involved included Junk Food Clothing, The POP Store, The Bower of Bliss Store and FrostFrench - all of which are selling amazingly cool and quirky pieces by gorgeous brands such as Wildfox and Disney Couture.

A whole host of celebs were of course, in attendance. Jemima French and Sadie Frost both looked smouldering in their boudoir-esque setting, keen to talk about their latest FrostFrench collections and proving incredibly popular with the press. Other celebs we spied included Jameela Jamil of T4 fame as well as new T4 presenter Nick Grimshaw who was sporting a very impressive quiff. Singer Eliza Doolittle also rocked up in some cute short dungarees and Kelly Osbourne (pictured below) was perhaps the most talked about celebrity with her new slender figure and glamorous ensemble comprising of a classic white shirt, black leggings and a chic black shoulder-padded jacket. She also accessorised her new look with model boyfriend Luke Worrell.



Alice Dellal provided musical entertainment with her new band Thrush Metal which I have to admit was a little too shouty for my liking and the old man masks and suits freaked us all out a little, but she was certainly entertaining!

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, not only because of the great Pop Up stores but also the fab company including Alice from Shop Pulse, Emily from My Fashion Life and of course Carina from Self Service. The miniature champagne bottles were in full flow and the Tequila bar concocting all manner of Tequila cocktails also proved a popular stop-point in between admiring the clothes and indulging in a spot of celeb spying on the red carpet.




The Pop Up shops are definitely worth a look if you’re in West London as not only are the shops filled with some wonderfully unique and impressive pieces but the layout and fine attention to decor detail also makes the experience far more than simply browsing clothes and jewellery. The Disney Couture store has a wide array of stunning jewellery designs including a selection of amazing Tom Binns necklaces presented in circular domes against a forest inspired backdrop. There were also some super cute pet accessories including dog bowls and leads! The Junk Food and Wildfox tees are definitely sure to grab your attention with typically divine styles. Shopping heaven!

Thank you again to Self Service for the invite.

Whiteleys is located at 144 Queensway, W2 6LY if you want to pop along.

Rave Review: Revlon 'Minted'

I've limited myself to a pretty strict (well, more sensible) budget in recent months due to the nature of freelancing and moving house and have found that when I crave some fashion love, I just pop to Superdrug and buy some nail polish. Isn't it just the best creation to instantly and cheaply update your look? (Or, maybe I'm just sad..)

Yesterday, I was looking at the new Revlon shades and the 'Minted' shade caught my eye. Of course it did. It's a blatent copy of the Chanel Jade nail polish. I have also tried the Barry M Mint Green version but this just didn't quite do it for me. The shade is a little too what I would describe as 'alien green' but the Revlon polish is bang on the money for me. The application is smooth (I really like the long brush) and with two coats you get a lovely even finish with strong colour which is a gorgeous...well, mint green and is a little lighter that the Barry M version.

For around £7, this definitely satisfied my fash craving and comes highly recommended by moi.
