New Years Eve!

New Years Eve.

This film follows the lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve. It is by the same producers and formats in the same way as 'Valentine's Day' and 'Love Actually' so I went to see it expecting it to be as good as them, but it was a bit of a dissapointment. Whereas the other two films has an obvious plot in most story lines this one didn't. The plot with Abigail Breslin and Jake T Austin (Who looked mega-hot!) was thin and I felt the younger generation's story line could and should have been stronger. Even though Ashton Kutcher and Lea Michele's story line had a predictable ending it was cute. Katherine Heigl and Jon Bon Jovi's plot was a nice twist. 

Overall I would say this film has nice ending's but not much of a plot in the middle. I would recommend this as a film you see once!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

I hope you all had a lovely christmas!

I got lots of lovely presents, the two main things that I got were Clothes (Of course!) and Books!
I got a pair of deep sea green jeans which go with anything,
A pair of black and white knitted aztec leggins - I've wanted them for ages and they look good if you know what to pair them with.
A cropped knitted grey jumper - So cosy!
A white long top with a collage on - goes perfect with jeans or leggings!
The Books:
Life as One Direction - Appropiate as I am going to see them in 13 days! (I did also start and finish it all within Christmas morning!)
Dollhouse By Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian - A load of rubbish but quite comical!
Crossed by Ally Condie - Sequel to 'Matched' whcih was excellent but as I haven't got round to reading it yet I can't give you the full review!
(My Sister got) The World of Downton Abbey - Absolutely amazing!
Overall it was an excellent Christmas with clothes and books to keep me going a long time!

Little Mix!

As I'm sure you all know, Little Mix won Xfactor! 

Little Mix were by far my favourite but I hope that winning doesn't jeopardised their chances of doing well in the music industry. One thing that I have loved all the way through the Xfactor was Little Mix's fashion.

They know how to look all wintery and cosy, by matching Big cardi's and scarf's with coloured jeans, Aztec leggings and shorts (Top right.) 

Here (Bottom right) they play on a simple black and white tux but have changed with shorts, skirts and skinny jeans. Then play with a bif bow tie or small tiny bow tie's, Adding chains and jewellery to make it more classy.In the Bottom left picture I love the play on different patterns and colours.

I love in the top two left pictures how they go for the dressed up look but have a colour scheme throughout,  They have accessorized well.

Anyway, I'm very happy that Little Mix have one!

Stuck on what to wear for Christmas day?

Stuck for what to wear on Christmas Day?
If your stuck whether to go dressed up with heels or jeans and a T-shirt.
Why not settle for the middle. Go for a classic dress and pair it with ankle boots.
Not too dressed up or not too casual! If you want pair it with a pair of brightly coloured tights.

Their album came out on Monday, and yes I've already got it. My favourites songs are Moments, What makes you beautiful ( such a classic!) Gotta be You, Taken and Same mistakes. I'm going to see them (the day before my birthday..woooo) on January 10th. Yes, I am that cool. And to be even cooler I hope you're gunna watch ' One direction: A year in the making' tonight - ITV2, 9:00.
Actually I don't feel the need to pretened I'm ashamed I like them, I would say EVERY teenage girl likes them.

Also, Check out today's Google...So cool yet very distracting!

Shorts, Skirts and Woolly Tights!

Shorts, Skirts and Woolly Tights!
A new winter trend, Don't you just love it?
Its a way to bring our summer clothes into Winter so its save money too. (Woo!)
Match a pair of denim shorts, or swap them for a pair of cord shorts, With a pair or woolly tights! The perfect winter 'snuggly' look.
 Or wear your tights with a skirt, don't go with the safe colours! Go crazzy with the colours, Match a pair of gray ribbed tights with a bright blue skirt and red knit cardi. Anything goes.
Winter is about keeping warm but you can match that with looking stylish aswell.

'You know you love me...xoxo Gossip Girl'

Ahhhhh, Gossip Girl!
Right..I'm talking about when it comes out in England (Wednesday 9:00 ITV2) - Don't give anything away if you've watched ahead!
The episode I've got up to is when Serena tells Dan she thought he was her love of her life. How sweet! But then she's jealous because Blair was the star in Dan's book, Inside. Dan is in love with Blair but Blair is getting married to a French Prince who has just picked Blair over his mother because Blair is pregnant with 'his' baby (and her daughter set all these ridiculous conditions and the mother agreed with them.) But the question is, Is it Chuck's baby?! And Louis (The French prince) has just found the real test but hasn't opened it, Now we think Chuck and Louis are both going/ going to go to the same psychologist!
If that isn't enough, Serena's 'cousin' Charlie ( Who is actually an actress which was hired but now is not called Ivy) is pretending she is Charlie and is now being blackmailed by a her boss who Nate is 'with.' and is also his Boss!
As you can see I think you need to watch it, Overall I think this rates above Waterloo Road, Glee, 90210 (and thats high praise!)
 ' You know you love me

xoxo Gossip Girl'
 
P.S I just had to.

Gotta be You

Omidayyyyysssssss, One Direction!

Xfactor tonight! I'm guessing you will of heard by now that Frankie has 'left' the show (Kicked out?!) And the four acts that were sent home the first week ware now being voted back in!
So, who do you want? James Michael, Jonjo, Two shoes or Amelia Lily? AMELIA LILY
I definitely think Amelia lily should come back, I never thought she should have gone. I don't know what I'm going to do without Downton Abbey tomorrow night, 'I'm a celebrity' is coming back on but I just find it too gross to watch!  Anyway I'm hoping Amelia Lily will come back tonight :)
I'm off Christmas shopping now, Without the freezing cold weather it still feels a bit too early!

Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Kendall and Kylie

I absolutely love Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Their fashion sense is amazing and they have some many good fashion photoshoots, Kylie admits she wears the most black in the family whereas Kendall wears the most colour. They're both stunning!
If you watch them in their some of the video's they post online they seem just genuinely normal nice girls.
Gabby (My friend) and I are quite weirdly obsessed with them but...Oh well!

Trouserss!

With all this talk about Knits and Shoes I can't forget to give you some advice about trousers!
So...What trousers to wear this winter!

• Coloured jeans - Perfect to brighten up a standard outfit. Add a brightly coloured top or jumper to go for the 'colour clock' look.
• Leggings - Its all about the layering with leggings. Wear a long top or two then long socks to really stand out and look good.
• Chino's - Everyone wore them in the summer but they can be carried out into the winter too! Pair then with some pretty ankle socks with frills to give turn-up chino's a girly look. Or Pair with a simple top to make a statement.

Hope that helps!

Party shoes are everywhere!

As it gets into November we all know Christmas is coming up!
The ultimate party season. Who doesn't need a pair of bright sparkly colourful heels to pair with a dress skirt or jeans to wear out to a meal with friends, Family gathering or party.
As I went shoppingearlier there were lots and lots of shopsour on display,all getting ready for the party season.

Everybody cut Footloose!

The new remake of the hit 80's film Footloose.
Featuring Kenny Wormald (So cuteee!) and Julianne Hough (So stunning!.)
From the Imdb description 'City kid Ren MacCormack moves to a small town where rock 'n' roll and dancing have been banned, and his rebelious spirit shakes up the populace.' I went and saw it last Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised. I went to watch it thinking it would be a complete dance flick similar to some of the Step up's but it was completely different, It was an interesting story with dancing just part of the story! 
I also absolutely loved the clothes all the cast wore, There was one corset which although personally I am not a fan of corset's it looked amazing. Throughout the film there was a 'denim feel' with boys and girls all wearing shirts and jean (shorts,skirts,trousers!) 

I absolutely loved it.

Teen Vogue - November issue

Teen Vogue's November issue is out!
What do you think?
I Love how its about Alexa Chung who's English and her photo shoot was done in Brighton ( Or commonly known by my sister at B-Town Massive) Where recently I stayed there for a few days. It brings a brit spirit to the magazine. Absolutely LOVED the photo shoot with Logan Lerman 'Close Knit' The pictures are fab, the clothes and amaze and Logan is perfect. I think the 'My world - Touched by an angel' is a really cute article aswell and the name for her scarf brand 'Donni Charm' is original, catchy and has a sweet meaning behind it. I always love the articles with the contributors to the magazine and it gives you a little insight to what happens in making the magazine which is very interesting. Overall this issue is a good one!

Winter Accessories

As I write this I'm sat inside all cuddled up whilst its tipping it down outside - Winters here!
Do you have a nice winter outfit and don't know what shoes to wear? or bag to take? or what coat to wear?

Shoes- This winter its all about matching short frilly ankle socks with ankle boots; Leather, suede - whatever! Either small Biker boots or cute pixie type boots!

Bags - Anything goes! Clutches, shoulder bags, Handbags, Anything! To turn a unique twist on your outfit make a statement colour bag. Either a bright pink clutch. Bright orange handbag.

Coats - Aswell, anything goes. Quite a lot in teenage fashion are barber coats. From Topshop, New Look and any other high-street shop, As well with coats; Make a statement!

Half Term

Woooo, Now everyone is on Half Term

Xfactor tonight...
I peronally love all new judges but with the singers not one of them sticks out as 'THERE GUNNA WIN.' But I must say that there are a few people who you think 'What are you doing?!' not naming any names...Kitty, Johnny and also I liked Frankie at first but now I just don't.
Rock week this week, I think if Amelia lily stayed in she would of done so well this week!
Hope everyone has a good start to there half term and if you have any comments about anything feel free to post them!

Examples...Most from New look

Hats,Scarves, Gloves and Snoods!

I went shopping today and took a lot of time looking at Woolies!
These are all great because just one Hat or Snood just accesorize's an outfit alot.
Take a simple brown trousers with a plain top and cardi and add a colourful snood makes it way more fun. Or with Denim shorts fashion tights and a t-shirt and match it with a playful hat.
If you just wear a simple fashion dress with some boots mix it with some mittens or armwarmers, it makes it way more casual and comfy.
See there are a lot of different things you can do it knitwear making your clothes look more fashionable. Also a plus is that it keeps you warm and you might not need to wear a coat in these autumnal months.
Enjoy!

TeenVogueHandBook

Get it :)

This is me.

This is me, Christina Storey.  I am taking Natalie Hormilla's advice ( from the Teen Vogue handbook) and starting my own blog which will mostly be on fashion but also photography, culture, media, music and cooking could be featured. I intend to get this blog well-known even if it is just through-out my school or dance school. I went to Radio 1's 'teen awards' on Sunday and instantly fell in love. It was absolutely amazing there were acts such as 

One Direction - AHHHH

Pixie Lott - I want to be her.

Ed Sheeran - What a great Ginger dude!

and a couple others but those were the ones that stuck in mind. People such as Fearne Cottton, Tom Felton (wooooo), Matt Lewis and Rupert Grint, Olly Murs and other celebrities were there.

'If you want to be a fashion blogger, what's stopping you? You can start your own blog tomorrow! Post the things - clothing, culture, whatever - that you wish you could see on other sites.' - Natalie Hormilla
