Looking back at Vouge Night Out 2012

This year is probably the first Vogue Night I'll be missing. I've been awol as the last 2 months I've been suffering from Hyperemesis, so far been in hospital 4 times for what is best to describe as extreme vomiting and dehydration seen in some pregnant women. Yes I'm pregnant and having a hard 1st trimester that blogging or anything has been on hold.

As an ode to my annual Vogue Night, I thought to put up the pics of last years. As last year I had no computer to post it.

Last year I went with friends and dinner at Patara after. The main attraction was the jive dancing stage out side Hermes and loudest party must have been Micheal Kors. It looked so packed and hands in the air rocking from outside!

 

I am upset I cant be there this year. Last year I was actually paped by a magazine. My hair was shaved on one side my outfit chinos rock vest and wedges. This year I was planning long tutu skirt.. oh well next year it is then.

Wish List: Get Your Geek On

This month there hasn't been many events form me to add to the facebook fan page apart from concerts that are to happen in the near future. May has been a month in movies. A few weeks ago was the premier of Iron Man, then Star Trek, that was on general release not so long ago, next was the premier and release of Fast and Furious 6, now The great Gatsby, and next week is The Man of Steal. I think I have been in the cinema almost every week! so to continue with my geekness as these movies are of true sci-fi/comic nature (I even caught myself talking to a man at a computer store about external hard drives and other computer jargon) I thought why not create my wish list as well as a geek-chic outfit.

Bringing the geek varsity to the street:

• The obvious Geek t-shirt, but in the boys fit (for the "I'm wearing my bf's tee" sexy feel)
• A pencil skirt (get it "pencil skirt" told you geek!)
• Customised converse which I want!!!! well it is a wish list!
• You can always add a varsity jacket for that school look and get your Gatsby look with the 20s hair, make up and heals. 

• The Nerd t-shirt from Amazon in forest green if you like
• Chinos for that american boy look but street it up from g-star
• For some reason I think guys are better in high tops, converse or supra?!

Tone Sur Tone

Tone On Tone.... "does exactly as it says on the tin" Same colour, different shades, different textures.

With all the bright colours and crazy prints available in stores there were times where I just didn't know what colour to buy, the green? blue? pink? For my own wardrobe I am worried to spend money on prints or items that are seasonal, plus I am very much a blue and grey person and love the rock star look, yet I like to mix it up every now and then. When you're creative I guess you just don't sit still.

So what is tone sur tone? With the trends for summer showing colour blocking, some people might be to scared to venture or you might just like to wear a lot of black? Tone sur tone is wearing 1 colour but not to look like 1 wash of paint just got thrown at you. The trick is to wear it in different shades and textures.

Here I wore grey. Silk satin skirt against the cotton linen roll up tee. You don't always need to accessorise depending on the look your going for, or the outfit. But it does dress up and complete this look. Without it, the skirt and tee would be missing something.

Doing black is easy. But if you want to really make it look like you made an effort without trying. Again texture! Try black leather on black fur?! On top of a long black dress or black leggings. Instant rock no effort.. Shiny wet look leggings with cotton tee!

Here is my black leather with my cape fur on top

Mixing Decades

I have been a tad bored at home waiting for pay day and thought I would play with my face and look. I did this the other day and loved it, and been doing my hair and make up like this for the last few days.

Inspired from the 50s. It means my skin can get a rest from the foundation as the attention is on my eyes and lips. Its simple and fast to do, with lots of glamour. To tone it down for a day look, I took some inspiration from the 50s war propaganda pics.

A bandana...

Curled my hair in a relaxed wave and a rock in roll quiff. Ready to go. 

Any outfit feels great with this look. I have rocked it with my long red skirt, but today was nice and hot. So with my army studded boy friend shirt, contrast vest, shorts and high tops. 

This look and a red bandana is already striking that you have to be bold and confident. It brings out the the classic rock feel, accessorising with more bangles, my home made cord bradded bracelet and rose ring to go with my vest.

The Shirt and the high tops are featured in my prevues posts in my shopping hauls. 

If you like my personal style and would like to just follow that (since I didn't really think to blog what I wear) you can also follow me on ASOS Fashion Finder. Click the link on the bug on the left <=

Night Out: Tyga Performs @ DSTRK

After my day out to Canterbury I also had to get home, get ready and make it down to DSTRK. Tiered but still holding on I managed a shorts jump suit that I usually wear during the day and just dressed it up with the gold multi layer necklace and matched it up with gold sandals and bangles. Think Jlo on this one. You can dress up a day dress with bling and metals. 

I have a members card for DSTRK that I have never used. This was the 1st time I was going. My members card lets me cue jump, member plus 1 guest gets in for free, access to VIP, 1 free drink at the VIP bar, and 10% discount on drinks.

The cue was long as they took a while to get people in. The door staff were nice and not as pretentious as the staff at China White on a Sat and Movida last Fri. Lets try the card... Went to the front of the cue showed them my card and hello, rope open and man shouts "member plus 1 guest". Get to the girl she says "£20" I reply with my friends guest list she say "oh sorry that wasn't for you, you can head straight through"

DSTRK has 2 areas a lounge area and the club. The Lounge had a wall of wine bottles and looks like some nice restaurant even. The club area joins by a curtain. They had dancers perform and the dance floor in the middle moves up and down for the performance. Tables and DJ around and the VIP section right next to it.

Tyga was late (nothing new) didn't perform on stage but did a bit from the VIP section that we were in. DuPree was in the house as well and I even bumped into one of my footballers (which made me feel like I was working a bit and didn't want him to see me party out, even though we are cool about it)

It was a good night, me and my friend partied like we don't care and it attracted some attention that other tables were asking us to join them. My inner Jlo even had me salsa on the dance floor.

Day Out: Canterbury

Its been  busy week, and regardless I decided to take time and drive the family down to Canterbury. Famous for a beheaded Bishop, a Smelly tale of pilgrims, and Orlando Bloom.

With the hot weather its was a perfect idea for a trip out. I wanted to take some pictures of Canterbury style but I got a bit occupied with making sure my mum and aunt was ok walking as well as looking after Pistachio our dog. I've been meaning to do a segment on street style in different locations but also scared to take pictures of strangers! lol.

So I went there in my tone sur tone outfit. I love this skirt, from Zara. The colour is mid season and, when you walk and the wind blows it looks cute. The tee is also Zara a rock edge vibe with the rolled up sleeves. I rocked it out more with my gladiator sandals with studs, a gold belt and, multi necklace. I feel very New York Ballerina.

The street style of Canterbury is not edgy. I can hear the guys on their phones talking about what to wear as they are planning to go out that night and the men's style is very Olli Murrs. The girls are in day dresses you would see in Top Shop and the likes. For a town that has many people acting and performing. Singing and juggling outside tourist spots and a school of arts. There is not much of individuality here or trying to stand out like London. You see many students around as well as school trips and tourists. They have lots of shops from jack wills and vintage markets.

I loved the area being small and relaxing. The people and town is dog friendly as well. If I went to school here no doubt I would be by the west gate park relaxing by the river. If you ever go take the boat ride!!
