Meadham Kirchhoff : Luella hits puberty

Since the absence of Luella, Meadham Kirchhoff have been in the spotlight at London Fashion Week.
They are teen rebellion embroidered in to their parent bought childish clothes.
Luella has obviously hit puberty.
You can see it in the designs...

The colour palettes and colourful hair are so very similar. I loved Luella and her youthful style but I must say, I love Meadham Kirchhoff more.

My love affair with Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff began when I interned at Goodley PR last september. I was surrounded by the A/W 10 collection and fell in love. It is still on my to do list to make a metallic pipe cleaner crown. The Meadham Kirchoff boys know what they want and they are going to get it. Infact Benjamin himself said "I want this and we're going to do it."
Style is all about attitude and my god does this label deliver!

If you are as any bit in love with the duo as I am, yet don't have the budget to buy, well, much atall on my student budget, do not fear!
Start saving, for the boys are collaborating with Topshop again. The new range will be available in selected Topshop stores and online in April.
Here is a sneak peak!

You can also get some good deals on the main label at Browns Labels For Less. 

I have already bought myself the £90 Teddy Print T-shirt. Down from £220, what a bargain! 

ps. My LFW internship got cancelled, but it all worked out in the end, I had to work anyway. September though... here I come! xxxx

LUELLA DOWNTURN!

" British fashion designer Luella Bartley's label has ceased trading after her main financial backer pulled the plug on any further investment." - BBC NEWS

How uber depressing. I didn't think her s/s 10 collection was great but overall she is one of my favourite designers and this devistates me. I really hope she gets the funding again because it would be such a shame for such a talent to disapear.

WE LOVE YOU LUELLA BARTLEY!!!!!!!

Fifi Lapin.

I just can't get enough of Fifi's recently!
Or rabbits for that matter.

Firstly a BIG hello and welcome, but most importantly thank you to all my new followers. I have had about 9 in the past 3 days so thats awesome :D
If anybody would like to swap blogroll links just leave me a comment and we can sort that out :)



I have been seeing pictures like this for ages now and wasn't sure what they were, but I did think they were absolutely darling! But now I know. It's Fifi Lapin from : http://fifi-lapin.blogspot.com/ .

These are just some of my favourites in Luella and Chanel/5Preview



I found out the name and googled it and found this on http://wikifashion.com/wiki/Fifi_Lapin. (Wikifashion is a new one on me :| and is rather rubbish from what I can tell, but meh.)

"Fifi Lapin is an extremely stylish rabbit.

Fifi was born one of 257 brothers and sisters (you know what they say about rabbits) but sadly there was an outbreak of myxamatosis when she was just a year old and she was the only one to survive. Her parents are therefore incredibly protective and spoil her rotten. As an ‘haress’ to her fathers fortune (which he made playing fast and loose with carrot and lettuce shares on the international stock market) she loves nothing better than spending her time shopping, browsing fashion magazines, shopping and attending the opening of an envelope. People may think she's just a socialite but behind that sweet smile lies more than just an extremely stylish clotheshorse. Her best friend Ruby Gatta also has her own blog dedicated to design and all things nice."

Im in loveeee!!!!!

London Fashion Weekend

Yesterday I went to London Fashion Weekend which was really good. First stop was the Luella stand! There was alot of the same stuff they had in March and it seemed clothing wise the left overs were too big and the sample sizes were too small. As I was contemplating over some long trench coats I had one of those 'It's a small world!" moments. I saw a girl who had been in my group on my 'Introduction to the Fashion Idustry' Short Course at London College of Fashion (LCF), which I did summer 2008. She is from Birmingham, and a year older than me, but is now doing a foundation design course at LCF. It was so strange to see her after a year, and we were both in the same Luella stand at London Fashion Weekend. It is a small world.

In the end I bought 2 Luella Bags making my collection of Designer Bags include a total of 3 items! They are all a bit bright and not normal. I really love my Mulberry which was a christmas present from my dad and with the other two costing only £75 and £40 for the quality real leather, and suede interiors, they were a beautiful bargain. I really need one that is more neutral, say black, white or brown, or maybe even that terracotta colour. I would like a classic aswell, a Chanel 2.55, or any Chanel for that matter im not too fussy. A Gucci perhaps? or a Prada? a Chloe? Just as long as it is not brightly coloured or metallic.

Pink - Luella (Margo)
Gold - Luella (Agnes)
Purple - Mulberry s/s 09 (Roxanne A4 Tote)

Next I came across this B-E-A-UTIFUL faux fur coat at the DKNY Jeans stand. I fell in love and tried it on and then the woman told me it was a sample of the a/w 09 collection and won't be in stores until October. When it goes on sale it will retail at around £580, I got it for £150. I checked the sample label inside aswell which clarified this information.

I found some beautiful stuff at the PPQ stand aswell. I bought a cute brown/black cardigan (seen below) and a colourful paisly dress. I have no idea what season they are but its PPQ none the less so who cares. The sales assistant had a sidewards plait like they had on the a/w catwalk. I wish my hair was long enough to do that with.
Apparently this is how you are supposed to wear your hair this season :| ...

Faux Fur Coat - DKNY Jeans a/w 09
Cardigan - PPQ
Skirt - Urban Outfitters
Tights - Customised
Shoes - Preen at Topshop

I also got a free goodybag with my ticket which had a free Britney Spears 'Believe' perfume in it which I was ecstatic about, being the Britney fan I am. My mum gave me hers aswell. The catwalk show was also excellent and I overall had a very good day.

I was wondering if anybody else has a designer handbag? Which one? Whats in it? That would be a great post infact.
I would love to do a post 'What's in your Handbag?' with pictures of what you girlies, aswell as myself, have in our handbags. I would of course link your blog in the post and add you too the blog roll. I would need enough entries though so if you would like to participate just send me a picture of whats in your handbag (with a picture of your handbag aswell would be preferred) to my email...
either : little_miss_fashion10@hotmail.com or jasminemeaden@hotmail.co.uk

Blow me a kiss, simple as this.

Luella S/S 10 : mixed emotions :) :( :| @ ! :S :o





Its very wearable, but lacking creativity. Perhaps a little simple for me? Im not sure. There are some really wierd unflattering silhouettes used aswell. I haven't posted them, these are just the ones I like, but if you think youve got big hips you stand no chance. To me this seems like a mixture of House of Holland S/S 09, See by Chole and some old Luella designs from way back to the beginning of the decade. Well I guess thats the recession for you.
Not her best.

(My Favourites were the 2008 collections. S/S 08 will be available at London Fashion Weekend [or should be due to my calculations, and in times of recession I'm sure Luella needs to make as much money as possible so should be there], and I am going to get some :DDDDDD. Sexy Grannies saved by Superheros and Witches of the West. What could be better?)

I can't say much about the House of Holland collection either. He has tweaked old designs and stuck house pictures on normal items of clothing. The only things I like are the 'OLD' 'NEW' 'BORROWED' t-shirts and shirts. I might buy a white t-shirt and make one of those myself.
Another disapointment.


Now for the good news...

Christopher Kane S/S 10 : put a spell on me.




He is really growing on me. I love his stuff. I love this pattern; it reminds me of picnics and tea parties :)

My top tip? Buy pastels in the sales for a good bargin.

Here we go round the Mulberry bush, on a lovely spring morning.

The S/S 10 Mulberry collection is just to die for!!!!!!





I already have this bag but its just not enough!


I can not wait until the Luella pictures are put up tommorow. Expect a huge post on it. Punk fluffy dresses and the like; it should be amazing!

I got my London Fashion Weekend tickets today too. I am going on saturday and hope to buy a S/S 08 Luella bag and maybe some clothes depending on the prices. I definately want something batman printed. If I don't have it my life will be over and not worth living. Im sooooooo excited! :D

Oh and I also applied for jobs at Topshop Oxford Street and Urban Outfitters Oxford Street at the weekend. I really hope I get one. Not only do I need one, but they owe me with all the money I spend there. The discounts would be so awesome!
Wish me luck :D!!!!!!!!!! xxxx

Dress for the Ocassion : Juniour Apprentice Interview

Dress - Luella A/W 07

I got this discounted at London Fashion Weekend earlier in the year for £75 I think which is not bad for silk and velvet! I also got my Sara Berman jacket worth £300+ there too which I also wore to the interview. You can see it in my post 'Party like its 1999'.

The interview was on Monday, it went well and I am waiting for a phone call until the 24th and if I hear nothing by then I am out. Lets hope I get a call!
Fingers, toes, knees, legs, elbows, tounges, heads, necks, thumbs, ears, mouths, lips, eyes crossed :D xxxx
