I have seen so many photos of the Fashion at this year's "Amazon India Couture Week" The pieces showcased on the Catwalk were so rich in colour and the designs looked ROYAL!

Fit for a Princess.

Firstly.. Can I just say that ever since I heard FARYAL's name.. I've always said it would be a lovely name for a Baby Girl. In some languages, Faryal means Angel. Its such a beautiful name.

OK.. Baby names aside ( and NO I'm most definitely not expecting lol) 

I recently found Faryal Makhdoom on Instagram and thought.. 

"Woah! This girl knows how to dress!" She posted a photo of a Valentino Bag and shoes and I literally went to Designer shoe HEAVEN! While I'm here in the States, my mission is to leave here with a nice Designer pair of shoes.. or a bag.. or both ;-)

No more words now. Just pictures of some of Faryal's best outfits.. I've left my best one till last.

Enough said.

JAMIE CHUNG!

 

 

 

Truth be told, I didn't actually know who this lady was until last night. I saw photos of her on Twitter and retweeted it straight away. What a dress?

There were so many lovely dresses on that Red Carpet last night but I must admit, this had to be my fave.

This Yanina Couture dress is gorgeous. How elegant and stylish is this?

I absolutely love it. Someone please send me this.. I'm in NEED!

Raishma is a boutique based in London offering bespoke ladies clothing. Raishma offers some fantastic pieces, I would say around half of the clothing is Asian style and the rest is quite Western. Raishma has an online shop which is currently offering 10% to customers if they sign up to the Raishma clothing Newsletter. Link to website, below.

www.Raishma.co.uk

The brand has been around since 1998, creating pieces of clothing that incorporate your design ideas, making the perfect designer dress. The clothing is of great quality. Raishma Islam has been trained under the very lady who designed Princess Diana's wedding dress, Elizabeth Emmanuel. How fabulous!

 Raishma is one very few British Asian designers who actually designs and creates the dress in the UK rather than designing here and having outfits made abroad. 

This is great as you can see your outfit being made bit by bit. I know that is one frustration I had when having my Bridal dress made, it was being made in Mumbai so I had no idea if my design ideas would go together. It was just a matter of waiting and hoping.

Raishma provides her clients with the best, personal one to one service. She is only booking 50 brides this year to make sure all brides get her personal attention and she is able to create the perfect bespoke dresses.

The 2015 collection ranges from Traditional Asian bride to Contemporary Western style. 

Raishma was recently at the Asian Bride Show, just look at how stunning this catwalk looks. The Vintage Rose dress was inspired by the gardens at Kensington Palace which I think is amazing. Raishma visited the palace and was inspired by her surroundings.

Raishma's brand is known to various celebrities such as Laila Rouazz, Priya Kalidas, Mel B, Shobna Gulati and even the lovely Meera Syal.

From gawping through this website, I can safely say that I am in LOVE with the ready wear on this website. The Kaftans especially, I can't get over just how beautiful they are. They are perfect if you're off to somewhere Hot and exotic. ( I kinda want to book a holiday now just so I can purchase one hehe ) 

Happy wedding season, people!!

I hope you enjoy looking at these pieces as much as I have.

So the challenge is to choose an outfit with a matching perfume, something you would add to your Christmas wish list all under £75. So here it goes:

I love this dress from FD AVENUE. This dress is very ME, so vintage and pretty. I have a habit of buying black & gold dresses, a lot!

 Especially over the Christmas period. It's such a gorgeous colour combo.

Purchase here FD Avenue

£46.99 FD Avenue

If I was to match this with a perfume, I'd go for Kate Moss's - Vintage. The dress has a gorgeous Vintage look to it and its gold just like this bottle. Match made in heaven in my eyes.

£12.99

Purchase from London Perfume Company

I love how now I'm growing my bangs out ( In UK.. "Fringe"), they're in again!

 I'm contemplating having mine put back in again after seeing these two. 

Yes, I admit I'm rather celebrity influenced lol Aren't we all?

I saw Kylie Jenner & Taylor Swift rocking their bangs at last nights AMA's and thought WOW! They both really suit that hairstyle. Kudos. Both ladies looked unbelievable.

Kylie Jenner.

bRECOGNISED is a new clothing store in Northampton (Gold St Mews, opposite Millenniums.) It is open 11-8 everyday.

This brand supports upcoming fashion designers & artists by stocking their pieces.

I love the concept of this store. They haven't chosen to stock brands we've already heard of, they've decided to support upcoming designers and artists out there.

If you are local, or visiting in and around the area, Have a little visit as this store sounds very promising.

The store not only debuts fresh fashion labels, they also have artwork up in the shop drawn and designed by new artists which is such a great idea. 

They are very affordable with items ranging from £10-40. 
This independent boutique has something special for both Men & Women. With its quirky decor (T-shirts in floating frames) & fabulous layout (clothing out on snooker table), I think it'll do very well.

I love supporting brands like this one as not only have they opened their own store, they have decided to help and support others and assist them to bRECOGNISED!

Good luck to bRECOGNISED! I cannot wait to shop there.

 You can follow this store on Twitter @b_recognised.

I FINALLY got round to watching a film called Aashiqui 2. The first one came out when I was about 3, since the day it came out, I have been obsessed with the soundtrack. Here we are 2013, OBSESSED with the sequel.

If you aren't familiar with Bollywood, I highly recommend you buying a bollywood movie as most come with English subtitles, you'll fall in love too.

Anyway, I watched this last night and fell in love with this saree. I'm actually considering to buy it.. £240!! Do I? Don't I? I think I know your answer lol

From Colours, to detail, to simplicity, to the blouse. Perfection.

Lotsa love Leesh of UnLeeshd x x x

I have nothing else to say than.. how STUNNING does Melanie look? This dress is everything I look for in a good wedding dress. It's classy, shows the correct amount of cleavage. The dress is beautifully shaped with the loveliest little detail. She even has a little sparkle in there too.

Theo Walcott.. always looks super handsome ;-) 

The couple got married in Florence, Italy. Perfetto.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Walcott. They looked amazing!

Harrods is a luxury department store in the centre of London. For those who have never been, it's really great! I walk around like I own the place everytime I go haha (I wish!)

It got me thinking though.. If I could actually afford to buy handbags and clothing from there.. What would I buy? I will do a double post on this, discussing two different designers.

I dedicate my first post to HERVE LEGER dresses!

The celebrity world seem to love these dresses with a passion. 

They are skin tight and look as though the suck everything in, 

making you look trim and ever so sexy.

Kim Kardashian.

 

J to the L O

Our very own.. Cheryl Cole.

I saw this one on www.Harrods.com and I fell in love. 

From shade to style, it looks great. I would never have imagined that I would ever like chic skin tight dresses, but I'm happy to say after going from a size 14/16 to now a 8/10.. I look at dresses like this and think.. THIS might actually suit me!!

Available at Harrods.com £2375.00

I adore Harrods and cannot wait to post again tomorrow. I have a big wishlist but I've condensed it down to two designers :)
www.harrods.com/brand/herve-leger/ 

Hopefully, my wish will come true one day and I will eventually own my own Herve Leger dress.

Hi my loves. So Fashionvouchers.com have set bloggers a little task of finding a killer outfit for less than £100.

Enter here: http://www.fashionvouchers.com/2012/11/16/xmas-party-outfit-blogger-challenge/

This is what I've chosen. Funnily enough, I've been thinking to buy this dress for one of my christmas parties.
I like it so much I'm including it on this too. I am the biggest fan of prom type dresses.
This type of dress is perfect for my weird, curvy yet slim yet slim yet curvy figure lol
You can NEVER go wrong with an LBD! They are sexy yet classy, always!



Upto 30% off £45

I'll be wearing this with signature shoes. Something different to the dress. I personally love Black & Gold together. So I would kit this dress with all gold accesories.

£25 Pixie platforms


Lastly, all I'd need now was a gorgeous, classy bag..



£16 Quilted lock across bag

 

This whole outfit comes to £86 and that is without taking off the discount you'd get from the dress :) YOU ARE WELCOME! ;-)
This whole oufit is from ASOS.COM!

Pop a little red lippie and red nail polish on. Smokey eyes and you're good to go :)

Hi my loves! I am SUPER addicted to bargain fashion. Especially since I'm trying to get rid of all of my larger sized clothing and slowly trying to replace it with smaller sizes, YAY!
Doing this has made me look into other brands and shop elsewhere.
About a year ago I came across Funky divaa.. now known as FD AVENUE!

Half of my wardrobe is full of their clothing. From Dresses to Cardigans to Casual tops. I'm a big fan of their stuff & it's so affordable too.
They always have discounts for their Twitter followers which is always a plus!

The link to FD Avenue. http://www.fdavenue.com/
I recently ordered 3 pieces from these guys. One of the dresses I ordered had sequins falling off, and instead of selling it to me anyway, they left a voicemail saying they didn't want to send me something of bad quality. I think this is such great customer service which makes me love this brand even more.

I think this dress is next on my list!

Thank you FD Avenue for a great service!
Use the code "ALISHA15" to get yourself 15% off :)

I can't help but love award ceremonies, purely to see what designers some celebrities have chosen to design their gowns.
Last night, I kept seeing images on Twitter of some of these gowns, claws were out this year huh? Some very beautiful dresses, but equally some not so beautiful. So this is my time to pretend I'm on Fashion Police ;)

Best.

1. Sophie Vergara - Wearing a Zuhair Murad turquoise sequin number. She looks like a mermaid, absolutely stunning!

2. Padma Lakshmi -  In Monique lluillier. Wow! I love this. Just goes to show, sometimes the simpler the better.



3. Julianne Hough - Like I said earlier, the claws were out this year. Another fabulous choice. This Georges Hobeika number is literally covered in Swarovski crystals.. Jealous much? To think she is only 23. So elegant!

They were my favourites, now lets get onto my not so favourites.

Worst.

1. Amy Poehler - Wearing Stella McCartney. For such a pretty woman, she could've chosen a dress that really flattered her shape and would've looked stunning. The bad fitting & design of this dress has made her look "Frumpy"

2. Ashley Judd - Wearing Carolina Herrera. Looks more like a bridesmaid dress. Not a fan of the colour, I think Ashley Judd could've done a hell of a lot better.

3. Lena Dunham - I do think this Prada number is nice, but its a little too much and not the right shape. Doesn't matter what shape or size you are, there are always dresses out there that FLATTER every shape.

Being Joan Rivers is kind of fun, although I've been a lot nicer lol
