Style Note: The Isabella Oliver Cape

Posted by London Darling

Yesterday was one of those cold and breezy days in London when you really need something warm and snug to wrap up in. And what better way to wrap up than in a cape. It's the perfect alternative to a winter coat. I received this beautiful one as a Christmas Gift from one of my favourite labels Isabella Oliver.

London Fashion Week Diary: BODYAMR

Posted by London Darling

The BODYAMR show was one that I was particularly looking forward to, and it was well worth the wait. The signature draping that I love still played a huge role in the collection as an abundance of luxe fabrics and beaded embellishment.

I recently changed my beauty regime to include the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, the Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Skin Repair Moisturiser. It's been just six days, and already I've seen a noticeable difference in the clarity of my complexion and the texture of my skin.

Congratulations to Luce, Ally and Alexia who entered the Vitality Show competition. Their entries were picked at random and all three have won tickets to this year's show.

I'm always interested in learning more about Pretty Stylish London readers, so I asked the winners to share some interesting facts about who they are and what they do:


Luce writes Get Lippie a blog fueled by her makeup addiction. She is accountant by day, with a sideline in cosmetic personal shopping. Handy with an eyeliner, not so hot with a digital camera. She loves putting products through their paces exploding myths about organic and natural beauty.

Ally is a 21 year old lover of all things beauty related, colourful and sparkly. I am a freelance make up artist in my spare time specialising in Indian Bridal hair and make up as well as Henna. Her beauty blog shares her passion of all things beautiful. Some of her favourite things include cupcakes and tropical islands, Lipsticks and shoes. Her daily life consists of plenty of books, world politics and lots of eyeliner.

Wow how time flies?? It was exactly a year to this day that I set about creating a blog dedicated to notes on fashion, beauty, and the buzz of my hometown London.


I remember the day vividly; I spent hours that Sunday evening making the blog look pretty and feeling excited about publishing my first post. Now more than 100 posts later, I sit here again reflecting on the journey so far, and feel compelled to say a huge thank you to all my readers and blog supporters.

It might sound cliché, but the fact of the matter is that without you stopping by, leaving me a comment or two and being the lovely people that you are, this blog wouldn't have the following it does and this blogger wouldn't have the enthusiasm that I still possess!

Stick with me for 2010, spread the word on Pretty Stylish London and look out for more exciting developments in the months ahead, I won't say too much now, but I just know that you'll love it.

In the meantime, I'd really appreciate your feedback on the blog thus far, it will help me to continually improve, post by post.

Thank you, Hugs!
xx

Thanks to everyone who entered the latest giveaway to win the gorgeous Kipling clutch bag and OPI goodies.

To win the prize all you had to do was was tell us what your coveted party outfit will be this year. A big congratulations to reader and fellow blogger Charlotte. Her comment was picked at random this evening and it read: "Ohhh any excuse to wheel out that LBD! It's so cold that I'm going particularly wintery this year and combining with a faux fur shrug and thick woolly tights."

With the weather as freezing as it is right now, her party outfit sounds like a very good plan! And now she has a brand new clutch bag to accessorize the ensemble. Charlotte's blog Lipglossiping covers all things beauty with a special dedication to lipsticks, so check out her beauty musings at www.lipglossiping.com.
