testing testing be-yon-ce

so, with me getting my ebay site ready imminently, i have decided to rope in photographer and make up artist friends to do a fun b&b shoot. "huzzah!" i hear you shout. well; so you should when you see the wonderful theme i have for it.

i have a ridiculous you tube obsession as it is, but this next little treat has caught my eye and inspired me muchly and increased my current youtube usage by about 400%. "why don't you love me" is the next in the line of awesome releases from beyonce. i love this song. however, i love the video MORE. it is a mixture of the ridiculously good styling and beyonces great tushy that does it for me.

"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.


i LOVE this.

so see below for some inspirational pictures, and hopefully the results will be with you in a month or so! any suggestions?

and shout huzzah again please?! thank you.

fit for a princess

So generally when i buy stuff for b&b i ask myself a few questions. you know, the usual. what size is this is? is this damaged? is it good quality? but these are all irrelevant when i ask myself the final question: WOULD PRINCESS DIANA WEAR THIS?

If the answer is yes, I will always buy it.

I love Princess Di. I know Alexa Chung wants to look like the Queen. But I'm from Essex. I want to look like a forever young, hotter, more famous, cooler version of the queen with highlights. And that for me is Princess Di.

What I also love about her (in a non-offensive not disrespecting the fact she is dead kinda way) is that she will always be known for one type of style, the style that my Mum wore in 1989 that isn't out of place in a Robert Palmer or Bruce Springsteen video.

Yes there are many icons I love. Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, all of Kennedys, but Princess Di floats my boat right now. Below are favourite Belles & Buckles bits that feel the Princess Di vibe, plus a little visual treat at the end.

Let me know what you like the most! And give me some good Diana memories!
