My heart is locked

Hi guys,

Today an outfit, which I was wearing the other day. I don't wear black head to toe very often but I was feeling very monochrome, one of my ninja moments! Or maybe it's because I just wanted the star of the show to be my new Disney Couture necklace. This amazing Heart Lock necklace, for the Alice in Wonderland collection.

I totally fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. For me it's has a slightly punk appeal to it because it's a padlock, yet very romantic because it's a heart! Together with a few chains and a key, which is ohhh the cutest!

This fabulous necklace was also kindly sent to me, by Made in Wonderland. Thanks so much guys, I am really chuffed with this gorgeous gift! I have been wearing it now for days in a row and got loads of compliments.

That is why I love Disney Couture jewellery, it's so much fun, so cute and really get you noticed.

I was wearing: Blazer: Zara, Leggings: American Apparel, Bag: Alexander McQueen.

PS: You too can easily win, A fabulous Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter necklace by Tom Binns for Disney Couture!!! - Click here to have a look at this amazing GIVEAWAY!

See you soon.

Friday Charm School - How to Sit Like a Lady Part 1

Welcome to Friday Charm School! Today's lesson is part 1 of how to sit like a lady. We'll look at how to sit down and get up from a chair like a lady with feminine grace and ease.

1. Approach the chair holding your best posture. Turn so your back leg brushes against the chair seat.
2. Slide one foot back 2-3 inches under the chair seat.
3. Lower yourself into the seat keeping your head erect and your back straight. Most of your weight should be carried by the thigh of your back leg.
4. Ease down into the seat gracefully...don't flop.
5. For deeper seats or upholstered chairs where you can't slip your foot under, sit as above but on the edge of the seat. When seated, lift your weight slightly and slide back.

To rise from a sitting position, simply reverse the above steps. Lift yourself gracefully in one easy motion letting your back leg muscle do the work. Don't push up using the chair arms.


Practice makes perfect with this method of sitting down. Make your practice fun by lining up three chairs of varying heights. Put on some music and practice sitting in each chair in succession. Then do the same reversing the foot you slide back. Repeat until the motion becomes second nature.

Today, notice how you sit down and get up. Try the above rules. This method will probably feel alien and strange at first. Now move a chair in front of a mirror and compare how you look when sitting down normally and how you look sitting with the rules. Is there a difference? Which do you prefer?
