Abbey lee kershaw gone platinum!


Abbey lee kershaw has swopped her natural brown locks for platinum blond ones, she also now has a bob. This runway model got her hair done at the 8th september (i know im late sorry) in the Orlo, Orlanda Pita’s salon. It took a whopping 7 hours to complete the hair style and the model was quoted to say "it was a long day". Abbey before (see left) had long flowing brown locks and had never dyed her hair. When asked she said she had never dyed her hair before and it was time for a change. Another source confirms she dyed it too suite the needs of eyewear designer tom ford. She was photographed wearing  a number of his designs including over sized black ones (like the popular 3d glasses you get from the cinema, don't pretend you dont know what im talking about) Abbey with the hair dye(right) is also sporting a rather short bob, dont get me wrong she pulls it off, i mean she is a supermodel and all but i can't help feeling sorry for her old hair. It was so natural. But the platinum does make a statement ill give her that and i guess thats what you want if your a model? i wouldnt know i meanhave you seen me latley? i got no chance.

H&M's new concious collection

When?
It is set to be released on april the 14th 2011 so get your running shoes on and your coats by the door.

What?
The new concious collection is all about minimilism and the environment. The colleciton is made from enviromentally friendly materials and other sustainable sources such as cotton and recyled polyester. The collection comes in a variety of shades of white, perfect for a subtle yet suitable outfit in the spring. Plus white is going to be IN IN IN so yh, ive never been a white fan but everyone's got to start somewhere right? and this collection is really cute. The style features tailored lines with a hippie spring influence. Flowing hems and layers with a sheek twist. Its all very exciting really. Its just so adorable i wanna eat it all up, i mean that in the least weird way possible.
How?
well they like deisgned them and then sew them :/ and stuff.

To sum up
So H&M are trying to tell us that spring is going to be minimilistic chic in pastels, whites but with a hint of unique style. ok girls we can do this, and boys.




a great magazine, ive never actually bought it but it looks awesome :)

stack heels
These are like the wedge heel but are slightly more elegant and have a desirable slimming effect on the ankle.

Definition: Usually brown or beige, stacked heels are designed to give the illusion of thin layers of wood that have been stacked up to create a flat, wedge or high heel.
