Disney is a GoGo

I love Disney! There I've said it. 

I am a Disney princess. Don't hate! At the moment I'm still waiting on my happily ever after but in the meantime, I'm enjoying what life has to offer. I could try and say that I'm the shy girl who waits on others while hoping for Prince Charming to save me from my dyer existence of servitude, but I won't. I can't, for fear I would be struck down by the heavens for lying. I'm not really that type of girl to stay in one spot waiting around. Haven't really got the time or the patience for that. In fact I think that's how my appreciation for Disney started. As a young child I was easily distracted. Jumping from one thing to another (not sure I have actually changed that much lol). The TV/Video combo was the saving grace for my mumzy. The bright colours and great catchy songs of Disney had me hooked. I confess, I think I have watched nearly every Disney movie ever made (including some of the many questionable sequels). 

Coming across the Disney collection by Gogo Philip was so exciting for me. It was like brining my childhood into the present day. They have taken the fun spirit of Disney and mixed it with their signature vintage style to created a collection that even the non-Disney fan (if there is such a thing) would love. 

I loved it so much that as a prezzie to myself I got the Mickey Mouse necklace. Definitely had to go classic Disney in my choice.

And also the earrings :)

So now I have the perfect set. They go hand in hand like a Disney princess and her Prince Charming

I was going to get the bangle as well but unfortunately it was out of stock on their website and on ASOS (who are selling the collection too). To be fair, three is a crowd and there was never a Disney mistress involved in the happily ever after, so it's best to keep the set to two.

Having a collection based on Disney brings to mind the younger days and can push designers to create collections which can be childish and overly theatrical. Throughout the collection of Gogo Philip it is evident that simple designs makes statement and works so well. It's a mature collection which nods to the fun of Disney.  

Here I am working it with a basket ball jersey. B-ball chic I call it. Look how happy I look with my new bling :)

You can find more info about Gogo Philip and the Disney collection on their website www.gogophilip.com or follow them on Twitter for daily updates in the world of Gogo Philip. This brand has definitely been added to my favourites list and should be on yours too.

Until next time...

Why so blue MsChiVious...?

I am blue because I have reached the end of an era! The time has come to say goodbye to an old friend. A friend who has served me well over the last 10 years by providing comfort and protection to me. R.I.P to my dear friend Maybelle...

Let us take a moment to mark the passing of Maybelle, my wellies (from Schuh)

With the summer festival season in full swing, the passing of this shoe closet staple could not have come at a worse time. So as the ghost of Maybelle rises to shoe heaven to meet the other greats which have passed before her, I must solider on and find her replacement. 

When it comes to day festivals I usually follow the same fashion formula; 

FOOTWARE = WELLIES 

and everything else works around it. 

Pretty simple really. With the British weather being the way that it is, rain should always be expected, so it's best to be prepared. And besides I'm not really about that muddy festival look so wellies are really the only option for me.

Wireless 2011 I went with a bright orange 'le sac' dress from American apparel which can be worn a number of ways. I chose to wear it in the Grecian style.

Wireless 2012 was cold so had to wrap up warm with the hoodie, woolly hat and leggings. And again Maybelle make her appearance.

It's a tried and tested formula which has worked for me over the years and I plan to stick with it. So the time has come to locate a replacement. But where to start...

The choices are endless in the world of wellies from the more traditional farmer style to bright colours and prints. I'm going to share with you my picks:

Cheap and cheerful

These cute ankle wellies by Joules just totally make sense. Bright and fun, they will brighten up any festival outfit

Priced at £34.95. Available from www.joules.com

Cash Madame

Neon and Black? You can never go wrong and these boots prove that...I luv them!!!!

Priced at £155. Available from www.hunter-boot.com

With the surprising heatwave we had in this great city of London, this year was the first time I was wellie-free during a festival. For Wireless (note the festival trend) I played it safe and comfortable and threw on a pair of trainers. It just made sense.

The chosen look for Wireless festival this year. 

Denim shorts

Black sheer spike top, New Look

Shades, Jeeper Creepers

Chain and bangle, Disney collection by GoGo Philips

Instead I used my make-up as the way to make my outfit pop (and i'm feeling blue remember)

close up on the make-up: Blue lips, blue hair, don't care ;)

what do you think?

lips: sleek blue lip stain, Superdrug

face: MAC Studio fix powder, MAC

hair: dyed the tips with Pravana Blue, eBay

The great thing about festivals is that it's all about being comfortable, having fun and enjoying great music. So have one item in your outfit that's a bit fun and out there and just make it work for you.

Until next time....
