This year was my first year at The Clothes Show, I've been wanting to go for a few years but its up in Birmingham and thats just effort to get there, but this year they held one in London, So I just HAD to go its about £40 a ticket but I must of got the ticket price back in Pantene freebee shampoo alone! First off we watched a 45 min Fashion Show (fashions from world capitals) on the largest catwalk in London ever, and presented by George and Larry Lamb! Theres so many places to have your photo taken and nails painted and hair done etc I booked up to have a talk with personal stylist Natalie Robinson (who has styled Beyonce and Sharon Stone among others) and we got free Martinis its so much fun and I'd recomend it to all you girlies!! real girlie day out! My favourite was The Style Stage where lots of fashion professionals get up and make speaches or interviews its like reading Vogue but its happening live!! I met Caryn Franklin and designer Gareth Pugh!! and we wandered around the stalls, the Vintage ones being my favourites obviously!! We also got approached by BBC3 to interview us on "weird habits" so watch out for us on zee telly! anyway, heres some pics and me......

So I've finally done it!!! got my tattoo done on my wrist of John Lennons autograph (from the Imagine era) I've wanted it done since I was 18! Its healing nicely now, looks a little sore in the photo but it was well worth it! "its for you John" *she looks up* I've had this obsession with him for as long as I can remember, well since my mum sat me down to watch Help! aged 9 and I fell in love there and then (superintendent he's got a plan, he's got a plan superintendent)
I am selling my Austin Mini Super Deluxe Model, its 1966, and has only 21,231 original mileage!!! Red with Union Jack roof If you know anyone who might be intrested pass on this link pleeeeease
This was my first time at the Fashion & Textile Museum, Founded by Zandra Rhodes, since it opened in 2003 The building itself is fab, bright orange and pink certainly stands out from the rest.
We went up to see the Foale and Tuffin exhibition, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin were young designers in the early 60's and opened up shop in 1965, just off Carnaby Street. There were so many gorgeous dresses and trouser suits out on display at the FTM, I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, or a dog in a butchers!
It was like stepping back in time with the walls covered in pictures of Foale & Tuffin Illustrations, photos of Twiggy and Pattie Boyd, among others, and 60's iconic pop drifting through the speakers! I was in Heaven for a short while.
Here's the infamous "Double D" Dress as modelled by Jenny Boyd in 1966 and the "Domino" Dress, (the print was designed by Zandra Rhodes) I will definitely be popping in there again, I vote Biba next time! Keep an eye on their website to see what exhibitions they are doing next! www.ftmlondon.org
I just love wondering around London with a camera, theres always something to be snapping at! Here a few pics from my last adventure!
Preparing for Chinese New Year, which is this weekend peeps! will be going back to get more picciepics!
These cute lasses where in Beyond Retro, one of my favourite shops I got a cute vintage 50's style americana cheer leaders jumper, its to die for so cute!
The best window display I've seen in ages!
This strip joint reminded me of the vintage/retro ones of the early 60's, if this was on the Reeperbahn Hamburg then you probably would of seen The Beatles piling in!!
Last but by no means least Girlies.... Look who I found lurking around Covent Garden!!
Well Hello 2010! My bad! I havent posted anything in nearly a month! hope you had a great Chrimbo!

I got a fab new camera a Nikon Coolpix p90, clothes, dvds, cash, smellies, make-up, a Vivienne Westwood Orb necklace and other stuff (so obv my fam love spoiling me too!)
Re my last post O. M. G. Nowhere Boy is sooooo good! its done so well, better than anything like "The John Lennon Story" or "Backbeat" (although I do like Backbeat!) Ive seen it twice already, Aaron Johnson who plays John is amazing, hes got Johns magic and accent spot on! (and looks beautiful with hes Buddy Holly glasses and teddy boy hair do!)

I'm just so excited about this film its unreal!!! I've been a Beatles fan (thanks to my mum) from birth!!! and a John Lennon fan since my mum showed me the film Help! when I was 8 years old, and I fell in love there and then! Well this film is gonna be good I just know it, if anybody out there has read 'In my Life' by Johns school friend Pete Shotton (which by the way is my fav JL book) then this film looks just like an adaptation of that book AMAZING! heres the trailer
I can see me seeing that a few time at the cinema!
Went to see Gok Wan today at Bluewater, he was there signing hes new book, Work your Wardrobe, I made him a GOK Scrabble necklace, which I might add, he LOVED, he bounced around like a kid at Christmas and put it on straight away, he also said hes wearing it to The Clothes Show tomorrow so it will be in all the press shots, YaY! Gok,Me,Beth,Nina
