I am so glad I came across this post on the Guardian! I totally agree with these Teen Vogue readers.

Girls who read Teen Vogue, need to be encouraged to feel good in their natural skin. Seeing pictures of teen celebrities, air brushed and pampered, is not what they need to be seeing. Like the latest TV ads from Dove, about girl’s self esteem (Click the link for more info!), it shows that girls are worried about what people may think about how they look, and how they feel, and seeing people who look ‘perfect’, is not a great way of boosting their confidence. If you want to feel safe in their own skin, then models and teen celebrities should be natural to the public. Air brushing is a way of showing off no natural beauty, and covering up it all. Yes, the magazine companies want their magazine cover to look the best it can, but maybe it can look great without the Photo-shop editing!

I am totally on your side girls!

Oh. My. Gosh! I was browsing around, and found the new Valentino Autumn Collection! It is sooo nice! I am fortunate enough to own a real Valentino bag, which I couldn’t believe was real myself! Now looking at this had made me think, ‘I HEART VALENTINO!’. Take a look yourself… I must say, this collection is like the Holy Bible of an Autumn Collection! (Sorry about Picture quality!)

My favourite, has to be the Green Peplum Top & Trousers. That outfit is gor-ge-ous!

Some interesting news about Valentino, is that it was bought out this Thursday by the Royal Family of Qatar for a reported £550… Million! It is the second renowned Italian design firm, to be bought out by the Gulf’s investors. The company’s founder – Valentino Garavani –  signed his last collection in 2008, and 10 years before that he had sold the company for £195m, to an Italian conglomerate. The work of ‘Valentino’ are now in the hands of Maria Grazia Chiur & Pierpaolo Picciolo, who worked with Garavani before his retirement.

I must say getting Next Day Delivery, is great! You don’t have to wait for things you love! Here’s what my new Ear Cuff looks like…

Ear Cuff on my ear!

Here’s my review…

Comfort – 9/10, Size – 7/10, Look – 9.5/10, Stylishness – 9/10, How Much I love it – 10/10. Total Score = 44.5!

It fits quite well at a certain point of my ear, but that’s understandable, because it’s not really meant to fit an ear of my size 😉 but you can adjust it so it grips on better. The size is good, and the Swallow stands out quite well, but it’s not massive. The Look is awesome, it is silver and I usually flick my hair over, so it looks really rock chic! It is really stylish, and I have looked around, and they are very in trend! I love it so much, because for £3.00 in the sale, it is a bargain! I am so glad I bought it, and if you want one, I really do recommend it. There are different styles, like ones that go around your ear, and other ones that have earrings attached. They totally rock!

I must say selling my iPod has really payed off! I have been able to buy 2 things I have been wanting for ages! Plus, the 70% ASOS Sale is brilliant! £4.50 for Nail Rock & £2.70 for a Swallow Ear Cuff!

As you hopefully know, I did a post, a while back on Spring/Summer 12′ Best Campaigns? Well, here’s one on this Autumn’s Best Campaigns & Covers!

If you read the Summer Campaign post, then you’ll know what I like to see in Campaigns & Covers. I like to see, the product, the style and the Season! I like to see how well brands can involve the Season into the Campaign or Cover. Let’s take a look, at some of my favourites…

I like this Cover because you can tell what Season, it is, and it shows off what it’s trying to say about Ashley Smith, and I love the Sunglasses!
