My play list

There are songs, then there are songs. You know what i'm talking about, the songs you just cant stop listening too, that you listen once and cant get enough of. Or an oldie you hear whilst browsing through the music channels or radio stations, then you look it up and and thats when you start the obsession.

The following songs have become my "can't get enough songs", have a look maybe you will hear something new that you will become obsessed with. :)

Vince Kidd feat. Lady Leshurr - SICK LOVE

Loving this song! Don't know much about Vince Kidd apart from the fact he has appeared on X factor in a boyband called futureproof and not to

long ago on The voice, Jessie J was his mentor and although he didnt win, I think he is doing better than the winner, who i can't even remeber.

The song is out on November 4. I heard this is a cover and that the original is better. If anyone finds the original please send me a link, i would

like to compare them.







 

 

Natalia Kills

I don't know much about Natalia kills, but i love her music. Its like jessie j mixed with Rihanna and Lady Gaga. I don't know why she hasn't blown up in the charts like Rita Ora has,  I say this because her songs are clever, they have meaning behind them.

She is not "trying" to be something she isn't, honestly she is like a british version of Lady Gaga. She is experimental not only with her music but her fashion.

She writes her songs, and is creatively behind all her videos. she also has other talents outside music including experimenting with films, art and the stage, she tries to incorporate all this into her music to create the total experience. Oh and to cap it off she is very beautiful! Check out some of her songs below, and feel free to let me know what you think. check out this interview  and perez hilton website to find out more about her.

 







 







 

I can def relate to this song. You know when you have the urge to spend, not necessarily a shopping addiction, but you're broke, got a credit card, spending money you don't have , its so tempting...I like when she sings MY WALLET IS ANOREXIC! lol

 







 







 







 

I can relate to this song. You know when you love someone but they don't love you or treat you like crap in front of everyone but in private they "really" want you. Mixed signals, playing hard to get, playerz, unrequited love....amongst others lol

Future Hits !

Below are songs that i belief will be dominating the charts as we approach November, some are already hits lol.

Rihanna - Diamonds from her upcoming  seventh album Unapologetic, which is released on November 19...does she ever take a break!



This song is very optimistic. I love the message in it particularly the chorus “ we’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky”. The song is a change from her dance tunes of late, allowing her to show off her vocals, towards the end of the song, I even thought she sounded like Justin Beiber. A mixture of rnb, pop and soul. If this is what the first track off Unapologetic sounds like then this is sure gonna be another hit for Rihanna, especially since Diamonds has already debuted at N0.1 in the UK charts this week. More recent than future hit then I suppose. Have a listen below, and tell me what you think.







JLS-Hottest girl in the world ( right now) from upcoming album Evolution released
on 21 October.

Wow, that’s a huge statement to say to a girl that she is the hottest in the world RIGHT NOW..unless its officially proven aka like esquire, fhm..vanity fair, vogue etc. I doubt if a boy used this chat up line on a girl, that it’s going to lead to first date let alone ever wanting to see him again. It’s not insulting but it’s an overdramatic  statement that logically cannot be proven...unless you take all the girls in the world today and compare her to them.

But lets focus on the music, the vocals are good but like many JLS songs I feel that Aston merrygold carries much of the vocals, and he’s got the strongest vocals out of the four. The song is catchy, smooth rnb/pop sound with high pinched vocals by Aston. The song has received mixed reviews, some saying it’s a rip off of Justin Timberlake circa 2003, some saying it sounds like a motown song, which is a sure hit. Listen to it below and tell me what you think, I personally love the song.







Leona Lewis - Trouble: released on October 7 and the album Glassheart released on October 15

This song is typical Leona. The press has tagged her as the wholesome,  girl next door, can do no wrong, too nice, safe and boring.But i fear this tag won't be going anytime soon, not that she minds, as she recently said she liked being known for being sensible and is like that due to the environment she grew up in, that is East London- hackney . Unfortunately although i do like the song, it is quite boring and forgettable. the fact that it will be competing with the likes of Rihanna's diamonds and Adele's skyfall will see this struggle in the charts. I think Leona should stay true to who she is but try to experiment a little, after all, being an artist is about evolving, you can't do that by staying safe.







Adele - Skyfall, from upcoming James Bond film Skyfall.

This song is okay not great. For a James Bond theme, i find it quite bland and boring, I sat through it waiting for a huge chorus or bridge, like previous James bond themes, my favourite being Tina Turner's Goldeneye and Shirley Bassey's Diamonds are forever. But it did not happen, it seemed to have the same tone all the way through, sounded depressing tbh. I was expecting much more from Adele. But its not doing bad in the charts, debuting this week at no.4..guess who beat it to no.1..her name starts with the letters RI..i'll let you finish it off.







Christina Aguilera - Your Body from Album lotus, out now

This song is catchy. It is a typical average pop song. Christina debuts her more vuluptious figure in the video but its not the old school Christina, her vocals are not mind blowing and it feels outdated. She can do better.

FASHION ALERT!

Hi guys, I know, haven't been posting, actually i haven't posted for a few months now, what can i say, have been enjoying the weather lol. Just been doing what I like best, writing a wish list of shoes, bags, nail polish...well the list goes on. When i'm bored, I often find myself going to online retail websites eyeing up potential fashion items that i would like to buy when i get the chance. In my opinion, everyone should do this, its called planning ahead, if all women did this we would leave the house knowing exactly what to buy and where to buy it, saving you hours in one shop and slashing your day by half, not as quick as men but almost there, remeber walk first, not run lol.

Below are screen shots of my wish list comprised of what i think is a must have this season and where you can find them, enjoy, please leave comments on any thing that tickles your fancy.

Coats / Jackets ( coats with leather sleeves)

The it jacket at the moment is mixed materials. I love jackets with leather sleeves. Its unique, bold and daring. It really stands out and looks like something a superstar would wear and it instantly upgrades any outfit you wear, however drowsy it looks.

Rihanna, is definately rocking the style below. If you want to copy her look for a reasonable price that won't set your credit card or overdraft into space, then get a copycat version with faux leather sleeves on ebay! I'm currently bidding.



If you insist on getting a designer version, check out the following websites, good luck, some have sold out fast!

shopstyle.co.uk, farfetch.com, selfridges, The village bicycle ( www.imavillagebicycle.com)

For highstreet prices check out : zara, asos and asos market place, debenhams, topshop and ofcourse ebay!

1and2: www.imavillagebicycle.com , 3and 4 :asos marketplace and 5:Debenhams



bAGs/Purses

I love bags. You know what they say: A girl can never have too many bags or shoes. My favourite places to shop for bags are river island, asos, house of fraser, matalan, warehouse and javari.

Below is a compilation of my favourite bags and purses from high street to designer. I think some will be hot this season, especially designs with glitter, studs, patterns and block colours. I always like simple chic, as it matches any outfit.

Designer bags ( my dream wish list)

I love a bargain. But with designer bags, I always believe one should be cautious and not easily fooled. If a bargain is too good to be true, then it possibly is. Buying designer goods online should in my opinion be brought from reputable websites such as harrods, house of fraser , asos, farfetch,javari, debenhams and selfridges. Unless you are good at spotting fakes, it would suck to get what you think is the real thing to find out later its a copycat. I would rather splash the dosh and be rest assured than save money and end up with a fake, after all its designer, unless you wait until christmas, it is unlikely they will sell for more than half price. My advise would be to buy designer goods in a store than online.

JUICY COUTURE,Crown Miss Daydreamer shoulder bag from Selfridges £200. I love this bag, i like the velour material, it looks fit for a queen.
 
 
GIVENCHY, Antigona medium smooth leather tote, from Selfridges, £1,165. Rihanna has been spotted with this bag several times...



 CHLOE, paraty small shoulder bag  from selfridges £1,020


ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, De manta large tote, from Selfridges , £845. I love the edges of the bag, the way its tucked in.

MARC  JACOBS,  single shoulder bag, from Harrods, £515. Like the quilted look, similar to the chanel bags.



MCM, Reverse shopper bag, from Harrods, £515. I like the print and the fact its reversible, saves on the washing, if one sides dirty, simply turn over, lol.



MULBERRY, Oak printed leather bag from Harrods, £795. Love the crocodile skin fabric. Elegant bag, good to take to the office.



FOLLIE FOLLIE, K Vintage handbag, looks similar to Givenchy's antigona bag, but far cheaper.
