First Full Day in NYC

Yesterday was our first whole day, on this trip here, in New York. It rained. STILL, it is New York so I can not complain! Anyways, here are the photos from the adventure so far:

Picked up from the Airport in a Limo. Dat's how we roll.

Across the road from our hotel, LML! Bought a sweatshirt-grey tee from here with that logo. It's rad, I will have a picture of it on here when I get around to taking a photo.

LAZY BLOGGER ALERT.

Hotel on Rivington, swanky stuff.

I don't show a lot of pictures of my brothers on my blog, but some times they blow me away with their amazing fashion choices and beauty, as shown in these pictures:

Conor wearing my Luella bow. WORKING IT GUUURRRLLL.

Finnbarr looking ravishing my accessorize bow. That smile is truly... something else.

NO, my Father and I did not take these photographs whilst my brothers were asleep... pft, why would you even say such a thing?! They just close their eyes... in pictures... yeah, I am sticking with that story. Back to the blog!

In the lift and the front entrance of the hotel wearing my new Zara jumper, my new Zara brogues and some black leggings (not sure where they are from :P)

Went to the amazing Japanese shop, Tricofield, and bought a killer shirt that I am wearing today, so I will take a photo and it will be up later. We also went to Betsy Johnson where they had this gorgeous dress in a size zero!!! That is veeerrrryyyy rare, so I had to try it on, obvs. The really nice shop assistant brought me the matching shoes too. I felt like a princess (HAAAm sorry, sounds so lame but true) and my Father offered to buy it for me as a birthday present (OCTOBER 3RD) and I was thrilled but I can't commit myself like that! I asked if I could go to Dover Street and choose some presents instead, so I am still a happy bunny. LUCKILY, I got a photo of me in the outfit anyways, score!

Outfit: Betsy Johnson, duh. Socks... probably like Marks & Spencer.

Something high fashion and practically Couture like that. Maybe it was even Primarks! Fan-cay.

My evening outfit: Skirt and lace Leotard Urban Outfitters, Cardigan Zara, Bow Luella, Shoes Converse. Not a fan of this photo but I thought I might as well put my outfit on the blog.

Oh yeah, also, I thought I should tell you for the sake of it, I went to see 'Eat Pray Love' with my Mother whilst it was raining yesterday. It was pretty good and I recommend it. ALSO, I am really really really looking forward to seeing the new film about Facebook, can't remember the name. Well, the advert makes it look pretty good and the song in the ad is a choir version of 'Creep' by Radiohead, which is one of my favourite songs of all time, so it looks like a winner. PLUS, Justin Timberlake is in it, ha!

I am off to start my second day here,

pictures and updates will be coming your way!

TRUE DAT.

Je suis arrivé!

Impressed by my top French skills shown in the title of this post? Mhm. If you are not a natural at 'le Francais' (that probably doesn't translate correctly, but hey, it sounds like I know what I am talking about) it means... I HAVE ARRIVED!!!!! I am in my swanky hotel room right now, unpacked and ready to hit the cit-ay. Blimey, I have missed New York. Can't wait to post about my adventures here for the next week... stay tuned :)

Pre-New York Trip Post

IN 24 HOURS I WILL BE ON THE PLANE TO MY BELOVED NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!! As you may be able to tell I am a tiiiiny bit excited. Just a smidge. (AAHHHH :D :D :D :D). Playing it cool is my angle, obviously. Anyways, I am thrilled and I will be bringing my laptop so I will try my hardest to update the blog regularly with news from the trip along the way. This is just a short 'n' sweet post about how incredibly excited I am about my holiday and a few photos that I didn't post last time and some more new clothes (yes, more clothes already, and I haven't even started shopping in NYC! My closet will over flow, WOOO! :)

Me at the Hermes stand at Port Eliot. They use one of their fancy scarves and tie it in a cool way to suit your outfit. Playsuit Urban Outfitters, Shoes Vans, Scarf/Headband Hermes (duh)

Jumper and Shoes Zara. 60's or what?

T-shirt Zara, Gloves and Hat Dover Street Market. How adorable?!?!

Wearing my new hat, excuse my just-out-of-the-shower hairstyle.

T-shirt Lanvin- stole it from my Mum :)

Close up.

New - Lace Leotard Urban Outfitters.

Older items - Chanel tattoos + Karl Lagerfeld Diet Coke (!!!)

Did ya know I did a German homework presentation on Karl Lagerfeld one time? You do now.

Close up of the leotard. Ain't is perty?!

This is the drawing that Dinos Chapman, a family friend and INSANE artist, did for my Dad. My Brothers and Dad are getting tattoos done by Thomas Hooper in NYC! Anyways, this is the design my Father is going to have done on his arm.

My Chanel tattoo. Who needs Thomas Hooper when you have a wet sponge and an

un- permanent CHANEL tattoo? :P

My Mothers tattoo. We match, how hip are we?

I am off to pack and look forward to our early flight to....

New York, New York!!!!

P.S It's a hell of a town :)

UPDATE Summer '10: Up and Running

Howdy, again I apologize for my terrible late posts but hey. I am busy, it is summer after all! Even if when I say busy I mean watching the entire collection of Desperate Housewives. (If any of you want to know, I am approaching Season 6. NEARLY THERE!) BACK TO BLOG BUSINESS:

A few weeks ago I attended the Port Eliot Festival in Cornwall. It was awesome. There was music, poetry, cooking, fashion, YOU NAME IT. Very creative, along with some... interesting characters. Yes, interesting. I will show you a few pictures from the weekend adventure.

LULU AND THE LAMPSHADES :)

In the fashion tent undergoing the transformation.

After the outfit was assembled and the (play glitter) make up was pasted on my eyes. Yes, it is green. Mmm. This was a cool experience but I wasn't thrilled. Sorry to be a joy kill!

Full view with the family.

By the way, to keep this a fashion blog, those boots are from All Saints, the shorts are Topshop and the T-shirt is Luella.

Latest buys:

LOVE these bad boys. Practically live in them. Comfort+Coolness = happy Erin.

Urban Oufitters Skirt (x2)

Urban Outfitters Boots

There are also some un-pictured brown brogues from Zara that I will be wearing for my next year of school. A few American Apparel tank tops and this navy Zara cardigan that has these camel-coloured elbow patches. BASICALLY, my summer shopping has been goooood!

Next on agenda for Erin's Summer 2010.....

NEW YORK CITY!

Me and the family are taking one of our beloved trips to New York for a week. LOVE MY LIFE!

To make it even better, we are going up to the Catskills (spelling?) for a weekend, which is basically the countryside of New York, just outside of the cit-ay. Cannot wait!

Well, that is all I can remember to update so far. Hope summer is going well for you guys! (Still not sure who I am talking to here, but before I go, thank you random people who bother to read this 'fashion blog'. I appreciate it, really I do, but please, COMMENT or contact me of whatever. I would love to know if anyone/who actually reads this thang. Apart from you, dad. Hi dad. Talking of dad, maybe pepper jermaine reads this! Private joke, don't even ask.)

Wow, that was a long bracketed section of writing.

TA TA FOR NOW.

Seeing as I still doubt that this blog gets any views, I thought I would share this with 'you all'. C'mon, I can not deprive the internet of such a flattering photograph. The double chin is working for me.

SCHOOLS OUT

Hey hey. I am going to update you on my Summer 2010 so far:

I recently returned from my week-long holiday in Portugal with my pal, Kim. It was rad :) Obviously, I am super tanned. I look like African, seriously. PFT, yeah, right. I look like an albino naked mole rat. With braces. Hot stuff, I know.

Enough about that, lemme give you the details from my Paris trip!

My grand arrival, outside hotel Costes.

Shirt Commes des Garcons, Shorts Topshop, Shoes Office, Bow Luella

Look at that interior decorating. This hotel is the bomb.

I'm a happy bunny. Dress Commes des Garcons, Shoes Kurt Geiger, Bow Accessorize.

Me eatin' my falafel. Yummay.

We met this guy who was friends with our friend, Laurent, he was super cool and this is his tattoo which is a drawing his daughter did. RAD, huh?

This is Laurent. He ALWAYS looks this incredible, no joke!

My 'Off to Versailles' look. Dress Commes des Garcons, shoes Kurt Geiger.

Me outside of Colette, what an insane shop.

Versailles y'all.

Ain't she a beauty?

Skirt Topshop, Socks Topshop, Shoes Office, Top Charles Anastase.

We went to 'Clignacourt marche aux puces' which is a vast open air flea market with vintage goodies. My mum told me she came here as a teen, sweet huh? Anyways, I got this insane hand made lace dress there. Mmm :)

Feast your eyes on these vintage shoes, as far as the eye can see!

Well, that is my Paris trip, quick and simple for ya :)

Next stop - NEW YORK!!!

Yes, off to my beloved city in nearly a month; CAN'T WAIT! :D

Happy Summer guys.

Summer 2010 - Looking Good!

Bonjour. So, a couple nights ago I went to Hyde Park with my pals Ruby and Beth (and my parents) to see..... KINGS OF LEON!!!! Yes, they were beyond incredible and Caleb, the lead singer, might be God. Just saying. They were just as good live as they are on the CD and the atmosphere was really cool. I was told I looked like a photographer. Bonus!

Us in our KOL t-shirts. Lookin' good, huh?

My shorts - Topshop

Here is a close up on my t-shirt:

Notice the 'nerdy braces' smile at the top of the photo. Yum.

Me and my future husband, Caleb Followill. Sorry to be a

typical-annoying-young-teen-lead-singer obsessed girl. but he is GOD!

Look at that raw, intense emotion. Bootiful.

That was probably one of the best starts to the summer! Before I leave, I need to remind you that I am off to Paris and Versailles for the weekend tomorrow with my parents. WOOP WOOP, so excited. I miss Paris so much, can't wait to go to Collette again! (Collette - Incredible shop, like Urban Outfitters but about 1000 times better. And cooler!) Versailles will be beautiful and I will probably be too busy to listen to the factual business. Busy pretending to be Marie Antoinette/Kirsten Dunst playing M.A, frolicking about and eating macaroons. Can't wait! Pictures will be on 'le blog' (getting ma french on) when I return. LUSM!

P.S Yes, I am having trouble with my blog layout. It is so hard to choose the back ground and the photo and all that shizzle! I will hopefully get a photo from my weekend trip to use on the blog instead of my Rankin one. Yes, I will treasure it forever and it is pretty 'rad' but I gotta keep up beat and new at all times. Which is hard, as I am a 13 year old granny. With Braces.

AU REVOIR!

I know she was executed, but c'mon, you wish you were her. Well, I do.
