Rizzle Kicks!

        Rizzle Kicks

Sorry for the rather late update as we've been rather busy, but on Saturday 1st December, we went to see... Rizzle Kicks! Apart from being squished within an inch  of other so-called 'ravers' in the middle of a mosh-pit, and being covered in not the nicest of substances, it was one of the wildest, loudest and funniest concerts we've ever been to! 













We had spent the first part of the day in Newcastle, dressing up in Topshop and going for a Chinese ( don't eat banana pancakes ) and Starbucks. We queued outside, being the dedicated fans we are, and managed to squeeze our way to the front of the stage, without being trampled on! Harley and Jordan looked as beautiful as ever, and played all of the songs from their album, plus some of their remixes, including their duet with Ed Sheeran! That made us HAPPY. 









Supporting them was Little Nikki, who used to be in UK band Soundgirl, who I seen when they supported Pixie Lott in 2010. She is now a solo singer/rapper and you should DEFINITELY check her out! She wore a bodycon skeleton dress, which is from Topshop for £50. 

Their other support act was upcoming rapper Mikill Pane (pronounced Michael...but we're gonna call him Mikill ). He is destined to be big, and was even drinking on stage! We got  lucky and met him outside after the gig, and got his autograph on the back of our tickets! Wowza! We don't have any proper pictures of our outfits, but we do have our sassy pictures in Topshop :-)

Here's the videos (they most definitely aren't perfect!)

This one's not ours! Mikill Pane:

After the concert, we had a sleepover at Olivia's, and had cheesy nachos for our breakfast and went on Take That and High School Musical Sing Star. Righteous. We couldn't take any pictures because I had a Mikill Pane tattoo in the middle of my forehead. Not righteous. 

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the videos and we'll talk to you later!

Love you all, 

  R & O xo.

Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung, former British model, TV presenter and at just 29 years old she is definitely one of the UK's biggest fashion influences to this day!

Style Crush ♥

At the age of 16, she was scouted by a modelling agency while in the comedy tent at reading festival.  Chung was then taken on by a London based agency called; Storm Model Management and began to work for multiple teen magazines such as Elle Girl and CosmoGIRL! Not only has she modeled she has also worked for companies such as Fanta, Urban Outfitters, Sony Ericsson, Sunsilk and Tampax and has featured in music videos produced by The Streets, Westlife, Delta Goodrem, Reuben and Holly Valance. She also stared as 'Jake' in a reality TV show broadcasted on Fashion TV called 'Shoot Me' in 2005.

After four years in the modeling world, she decided to go a different direction and set off with the intention of beginning an art foundation or becoming a fashion journalist (Just like me and Becky!) However, after becoming a TV personality, she returned back to her modeling days and became the face of  Australian fashion label called Antipodium's SS 2008 collection and Oxfams ethical fashion range, Revamped. In 2009, Alexa strutted down the catwalk as part of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer show at London Fashion Week.

Through a course of 3-5 years, Alexa has found herself becoming the face of many well known high street shops like New Look, Next, Lacoste and many more! She has also moved on to a new modeling agency; Select Model Management and taken part in London Fashion Week 2012 with Stella McCartney. 

With her shoulder length brown waves and her famous winged liner, and not to mention her AMAZING fashion style, Alexa is one of my favorite people to get inspiration for a 'new' look.

She can put two of the most clashing items together and make it work. Plus many of her outfits are very 60's and unusual to today's eye which is one of the things I love about her! I mean, leopard print and stripes? I would never be so daring! Not only does she go for daring prints, she also goes for big statement jewelry like huge chunky necklaces and an array of coloured gem rings.

In many of her outfits, she never seems to wear heels but I think that's one of the things I love about her. She doesn't need 6 inch glittery heels to make her style 'look good'. She seems quite happy with a pair of oxfords or boots teamed with a thrilling outfit. (Seriously wish I could see her wardrobe, I'll be like a kid in a sweet shop!)

She also dated the magnificent and so god damn beautiful Arctic Monkey's front man, Alex Turner. Well jel!

  

Here are some of my Alexa Chung inspired outfits!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween 2012

 Kate Moss as a Vampiress, Gwen Stefani as Grease's Sandy, and Chloe Grace-Moretz as Harry Potter's Bellatrix Lestrange

Much to our disappointment, Halloween is dead and buried for another year, so it's time to put your inner ghoul to rest. 

Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj and her friend as a Toddlers & Tiaras paegant queen, and Robert Pattinson as....we're not really sure.

Despite this, we were more than impressed with the efforts put in by the famous faces. To my surprise, there weren't masses of 'sexy kittens' or clads of short-skirted pirates, but in fact many creative, and SCARILY good ideas! 

Ashley Tisdale as Batwoman, and Ashley Benson & Shay Mitchell as Tweedledee and Austin Powers' Foxxy Cleopatra

From Halloween parties, to trick or treating around their neighbourhood, these celebrities really went all out!

Elle Fanning as the Statue of Liberty, and P Diddy as Prince

Many starlets were attending infamous gossip blogger Just Jared's Halloween bash, who dressed as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland (yes,really!).

 Featured are One Direction's Zayn Malik & Louis Tomlinson as Kiss band members, Jessica Alba, her husband Cash Warren and daughter Honor as The Incredibles, and the rather wonderful Ed Sheeran as horror film royalty, Chucky.

Lucy Hale as a magical unicorn, Kim Kardashian as the mermaid from Splash, and Sharon Osbourne as the Queen of Hearts.

Lauren Conrad as Mary Poppins, and Sarah Hyland as Spinelli from Recess!

My favourite costume is...

Katy Perry & friend as Jane Lane and Daria!

Dressing up as the stars of hit 90's MTV show, Daria, was totally original and they were INSTANTLY recognised when they attended a Halloween party in L.A. She is never one for shying away from dressing up anyway!

And another outfit that was particularly AMAZING was Ellen DeGeneres  as Sofia Vergara! She even cut a slit down the back, revealing a fake butt, referring back to Vergara's embarrasing dress-ripping incident at this year's Emmy Awards!

And here's my outfit! A last minute Minnie Mouse and my friend as Aria from Pretty Little Liars!

Hope you all had a HAUNTING HALLOWEEN!

The 64th Annual Emmy Awards

The 64th Annual Prime-time Emmy Awards

Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga, Kerry Washington in Vivienne Westwood & Lucy Liu in Versace

On Sunday night at the Staples Center in L.A, the stars of TV came out for the most anticipated and prestigious awards show in television, the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards!

Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen, Emilia Clarke in Chanel Haute Couture & Tina Fey in Vivienne Wesrwood

Despite the sweltering heat, the celebrities donned their best dresses and tuxedos for the night. 

Julianne Hough in Georges Hobeika, Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad & Nicole Kidman in Antonio Beradi

Some of the stand-out starlets were Emilia Clarke, of Game of Thrones, in a white and purple patterned Chanel Haute Couture dress, Sofia Vergara (of Modern Family), in a tight sparkly aqua number, and, my personal favourite, Zooey Deschanel of New Girl, in a Cinderella-esque gown (which just so happened to get caught on the metal spikes of Lucy Liu's Versace!)

Zooey Deschanel in Reem Acra, Giuliana Rancic in Romona Keveza & Ariel Winter in Katherine Kidd

There was a beautiful array of colours, with fairly unknown designers being thrust into the spotlight by the actresses wearing their stunning dresses. 

Above are the starlets we think had the best gowns of the night!
