Style: Twenty8Twelve jeans

We all know how difficult it is to find that perfect pair of jeans. They're all either too saggy in the wrong places, don't fit right, have the wrong pockets, or are just in strange colours that don't compliment your wardrobe.

There are a few brands out there that do jeans well (J Brand, 7 For All Mankind, Levi's) but my go to brand in the past three years has been Twenty8Twelve. I have seven pairs!! They are absolutely amazing and worth every penny, even at £120.

Why are they so amazing?
- They never sag on the bum or knees no matter how many times you sit with your legs bent or how long you wear them
- They fit 99% of people like a glove
- They are so stretchy, thin and comfortable I've even seen pregnant women buying them
- They make your bum look great
- They just look so cool!

What are you waiting for?! Go get a pair in Westbourne Grove!!!



Signature pocket design...love it



My favourite pair, the high waisted Devotos that elongate my legs

My newest pair, funky multi coloured polka dots

London: Crazy week

I've had the most manic week at work and even managed to go to Leeds to help out my colleagues open this year's biggest shopping centre in Europe - Trinity Leeds. After months of hard work, I was really happy to be able to be a part of the opening and see the team's efforts come into fruition. The big opening show was curated by designer Henry Holland who created the world's longest designer dress for the big moment. The dress is 15 metres long - equivalent to three double decker buses - and 480 square metres wide. Before it was unveiled, Cirque Du Soleil principle artist Colette Morrow performed a beautiful routine in a similar Henry Holland sparkly yellow bodysuit. See some photos below.

I also went to Portobello Road on the weekend and bought some gorgeous 18th century vintage plates for only £15. There is a lovely lady with a great stand just opposite All Saints, and she sells cute tea cups and plates which are reasonably prices, check it out!

London: The 1954 Casino Royale weekend

This weekend was filled with the usual hang outs with friends, cinema, and of course a party! My friend Samantha had a house warming party on Saturday in Notting Hill, where the theme was 1954 Casino Royale. I was having a bit of trouble at first thinking of what to wear, but figured it out in the end with a Twenty8Twelve emerald green dress, the amazing Nars matte lip pencil in Damned, some vintage heels and a vintage pearl hair clip.
