I think there are so many great trends for this Autumn/Winter and Romantic Goth is one of my favourite. It’s so easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. I know people either love or hate ruffles but this trend isn’t so much about being girly as it’s more about being strong & sexy. You might already have something in your wardrobe that’s part of this trend. It might be a ruffle blouse or lace top – and it doesn’t just have to be black, it might be purple or even turquoise.

I love the new Dr Martens – Black Patent high-heeled boots only £75.00! They’re perfect for the romantic Goth trend.

Or would you rather pay £375.00 for these lovley Fendi short patent lace up boots?

It’s great to see a second issue of Zink Canada! I loved the first issue and I’m a fan of Zink international – which really is the Zink US edition and you can buy it at RD Franks but the Canadian version in only available in Canada!

The beret has been around for ages and has generally been worn in the military since the mid-20th century. Although military is not a big trend this season I think the beret will be great for this Autumn/Winter 08! I love this Chanel beret; I tried it on and it’s so cute!

If it’s a bit out of your price range just look for a beret at Accessorize they have loads of styles starting at £8.00. Customize it with a couple of cool broaches, badges or even flowers. This is a good opportunity to check out your what’s in your mum’s or grandmother’s jewellery box!

I seem to always have a love hate relationship with my mobile. I can leave the house forgetting my keys, money and all sorts of other stuff but I need to have my mobile. I recently got a new HTC Touch Diamond mobile at Vodafone. It’s nice and light, very thin. It has a large touch screen and it’s windows based.
I love the fact that I can mo-blog and that I can receive e-mail. I can’t imagine life before mobile phones.
I don’t particularity like upgrading my phone as it always takes a bit of adjustment and I do feel attached to my old phone.
I’m not sure if my new phone is faulty but the predictive text doesn’t work and I’m still trying to figure out the camera settings…You might have noticed that the white balance is not working properly and my images look a bit yellow or orange or blue… Not great for a blogger or fashion stylist…The mobile does have a button for the weather which I really like & google maps are quite useful at times.
I don’t tend to customize my phone and I can’t attach trinkets or charms to this mobile – it’s suppose to be a business phone so I guess the makers assume you won’t decorate it.
I find it very difficult to chose a new phone – I hope I’m not the only one!!
