come on, feel the noise.

Are you ready for this? A full update of whats been going on in my life lately. I know I said I'd include fashion so I will tryy.

Basically we are making a magazine for Uni and it is sapping all of my time and is really hard work but I'm really enjoying it. Our magazine is called 1440 and is based around time and extraordinary events you can do in that time. To research my 1500 word feature I went to watch the Roller Derby and The London Rockin' Rollers were playing The Tiger Bay Brawlers. The Rollers won 112-73, it was really exhilarating and I'll definitely go and watch it again.

It was my brothers birthday on the 26th so on the Friday we went to The Comedy Store. There were 4 comedians on and they were all hilarious. Phil Nichol was my favourite because he was crazy mental lol and he sang 'The only gay eskimo'. This is a video of him at the Edinburgh festival.

But the biggest surprise of the night was when an extra act was introduced before the last comedian. He came onto stage and it was the one and only Michael Barrymore. Nobody could believe it and everyone started taking photos until he started talking and everybody realised he had lost his funny personality. He is not a stand up comedian and it was actually quite sad, he seemed like he was really drunk and then got heckled. Somebody shouted "GET OFF". Apart from that a very good night had by all :)

Finally here are some faves from Paris and Milan...

Alexander Mcqueen

Miu Miu

Dolce And Gabbana

Emporio Armani

New York ,New York and panic on the streets of London

With Milan nearly over and Paris starting tomorrow I thought I would reflect on some of my favourite autumn/winter shows from New York and London.

NEW YORK

Michael Kors

With a palette of mainly black, grey and white it's a very sharp clean collection with a variety of shapes. I love the midi skirts, trouser suits and puffa jackets. 

Helmut Lang

With cropped 'lego' hair the continuity of this collection is excellent. The androgynous tailored trouser and jacket combination works really well with the baggy shirts and black boots.

L'Wren Scott

A very brightly coloured collection with a mixture of mink pink coats and stunning dresses. This dress was worn by Amy Adams at the Oscars yesterday.

Marc by Marc Jacobs

I always enjoy Marc by Marc and the Marc Jacobs shows. The animal print used looks amazing on this dress and on the hareem trousers.

Marc Jacobs

Polka dots are always a huge trend whether it's S/S or A/W and Marc Jacobs has pulled them off perfectly. With a fish scale texture also used on tops and shirts the different textures go together nicely.

Marchesa

Marchesa are known for gorgeous luxurious gowns and this year is no different. Using red, white and black as well as light pinks and greys the contrast of strong shapes and soft materials makes this all absolutely work.

LONDON

Felder Felder

Love the dark blue and green jewel colours and the rainfall print. The A-line skirts and dresses make a gorgeous collection.

Jaeger London

This jacket is really cool with the wide neck and one row of buttons. Jaeger have used very autumnal colours like mustard, ochre, orange and brown.

Mulberry

I absolutely adore this, always love Mulberry's catwalks and this bird print is so sweet. Somebody buy me this outfit, yes?

Nicole Farhi

The print and material for this outfit is really interesting and the calfskin used with jersey for some of the items in this collection is a really smart look.

Richard Nicoll

Nicoll has mixed sporty with classic designs. I like the ruched collar and delicate look.

Topshop Unique

This is a very cheeky collection, with the dalmation print and cutesy hair it should not be taken too seriously.

Giles

I really like Giles Deacon as a designer and his fall collection is a triumph. I love the concertina effect on this bright white shirt and the cute bows in the models hair.

Mary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou's prints are wonderful and this outfit portrays this perfectly. Her collection was eclectic and her quote of put "the room on the woman" is spot on.

Sunday, Sunday

that's just how it is

I genuinely think people do think in facebook statuses and tweets...

never let me go

Just watched 'Never Let Me Go'. It's about three children brought up in a seemingly normal boarding school until a new teacher is appointed and tells them the truth about why they are really there. Starring Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley, there was no way that I couldn't go to see it. They find out that they are specially created to be donors for terminally ill patients and that the world they live in is one where people live till they are over 100 years old. Whereas they don't get a proper life and are just organ giving machines. It was a terribly sad film most of the way through but very poignant and makes you think about the way you live your life. It's not all doom and gloom though, there is a love story that interweaves with the main plot. I think the last line of the film sums it all up...

"We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time."

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly

With New York fashion week nearly over and London about to begin the Autumn/Winter shows are in full swing. It takes me back to September when everybody was really excited about the Spring Summer shows. Alexander McQueen's show debuted by Sarah Burton was one of my favourites. It's inspiration was firmly rooted in Nature and a few dresses included amazing brightly coloured butterflies. Butterflies were also seen at other Spring Summer shows such as Loewe, Carlos Miele, Jun Jun Cambe and on a blouse at Sportmax; confirming them as a Spring/Summer trend for 2011.
