Fashion: Show Me Your Wardrobe #SMYW

Show Me Your Wardrobe Logo

Do you know the phenomenon when you’ve just discovered something you really like and shortly after that the product is taken off the market? It has happened to my favourite Kinder Happy Hippo chocolate bar, Branston’s Peri Peri Mayonnaise and the TV show Show Me Your Wardrobe.

SMYW was originally a blog run by stylist now turned photographer, Jackie Dixon. She shared insights into the fashion world of celebrities and the blog existed in various forms, such as a 2 ½ year running photo column in Elle UK and a TV series in late 2012. I’ve discovered the TV show earlier this year when repeats aired on PICK. Jackie and model Zara Martin get invited into the personal wardrobes of celebrities such as Stooshe, Paloma Faith and Whitney Port. They reveal the keys to each celebrity's style, then head to the high street to recreate that look on a budget.

I love the show because it is fun to see the girls hanging out with celebs. It is effortless to watch and Jackie and Zara are very charming. It actually makes you feel like you’ve joined them on their girly shopping tour. Most of the time I recognise the shops and now and again they go for items I have bought myself!

It is also fascinating to see the amazing celebrity wardrobes with unique items and rare treasures. The styling tips are easy to follow and though it is sometimes a bit too girly for my taste, Jackie still keeps it cool. When the girls discover the key styles it feels like a big fashion party and we are invited to join them. The idea to recreate outfits, but not to copy, taken from the affordable high street is superb. I love hitting the high street, looking through the shops and bagging some bargains. So first we get peeks into a celebrity wardrobe and afterwards we go shopping, what’s not to like?

There’s only one season with 10 entertaining episodes. Have a look yourself over at vimeo where you can watch S01E07 with Erin O’Connor and Alexandra Burke. Hope the show comes back one day.

Have fun watching and let me know what you think about the show. Do you like the concept? Which celeb wardrobe would you like to check out?

Till next time

Fashion: Undressed - A Brief History Of Underwear. My Visit.

Image
The V&A in London is always worth a visit, and after seeing the amazing Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and Louis Vuitton’s Series 3 on the Strand last year, I was ready for another fashion related exhibition. Last weekend, a new seasonal exhibition opened at the V&A museum called “Undressed – A brief History of Underwear”. Though I’m not too bothered about lingerie, I was intrigued how the museum and its curators would display and showcase the historic development of undergarments. Tickets were booked in an instant, so I invited my friend Mille from Pass For Fass to come along and join me for a Saturday afternoon in South Kensington. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures. Since the V&A prohibits photography and wouldn’t reply to my enquiry to get press pictures for this blog post, my iPhone 6 had to do the job. The Exhibition: What You'll See The exhibition is located in a separate part, right in the heart of the V&A and runs until 201

Film: My Top Three Christmas Movies

Image
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the wonderful films that you can watch all over again to get into the festive mood. Ever since I moved out of my parents home, it is my very own tradition to watch a film on the evening of the 24th December (instead of unwrapping presents) and then celebrate Christmas in the morning of the 25th. Some of the films are mostly anime and cartoon-based as they remind me of my childhood and I feel that these movies bring back that special festive magic which I experienced as a child. I don't really like the modern, hyperactive American movies ala Home Alone ,  Miracle on 34th Street , Santa Claus or Jingle All Away . My ultimate all-time-classic Christmas movies are: 1. Anastasia (1997) In a dramatic night, the entire Russian tsar family Romanov is killed by the evil magician Rasputin. Only grandma Romanov and the youngest daughter Anastasia can survive the attack and flee, but are separated and Anastasia suffers from amnesia. Many years later

Lifestyle: What's In My Handbag?

Image
List and What's In My Handbag posts are my favourite blog reads, because I'm quite nosy and I love to know what other bloggers carry around and use daily. My recent list post on  The 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome was picked up so well that I've decided to do a handbag post next. I've been dying to do this post for a while now and I finally got around to do it. Hope you'll have fun exploring my Kate Spade shopper and its content. |Practical| 1. TomTom Sat Nav, Car Keys & License, Visconti Leather Wallet When I'm out I barely use public transport (except for London or when I go into Birmingham) and I drive a lot in Britain and Germany. A few years ago I would refuse to use sat navs, simply because I've learnt in driving school, how a good driver prepares and studies a map BEFORE he goes on a trip, which makes it easier to focus on the road and traffic. However, when I did my first massive tour around the UK in 2011, having a sat nav proved to be a massi
