My 2010…

Looking Back On An Extraordinary Year

2010 was a massive year for me! I moved across the world to London from the Gold Coast; had my first year of married life; and started Uptown Twirl!

Moving to another country is an amazing experience that is extremely rewarding yet ever so challenging. Living in Brighton and then in Belsize Park, North London; I have so many amazing memories that can never be replaced. Buying Cupcakes from Selfridges every Saturday; taking walks around Hampstead (and spotting our future home) in the snow; taking the tube everywhere; celebrating special occasions at The Ivy; always shopping on Hampstead & Oxford Street (Whistles most frequently); and falling in love with the incredible city that is London! And as for married life…. I couldn’t be more happy, inspired or  in love!

Since starting Uptown Twirl in mid-July this year, my life has become a fashionable whirlwind where every day I am transported into a magical world of all things exquisite! With Uptown Twirl, I have met some incredible people; attended some amazing events; and even sat front row at London Fashion Week!  Next year Uptown Twirl is going to the next level. I have so many new and exciting things to share with you and I cannot wait! But more on this in the coming days…

And finally, I would like to say a very special thank you to everyone who visits Uptown Twirl. I am so appreciative of all your comments, emails and feedback. I love receiving them and chatting with so many of you on Facebook and Twitter.

So again Thank you xx

My 2010…

I say bring on 2011!

Do you have any New Years Resolutions? xx

My Christmas Day Outfit…

 

I was dreaming of a white Christmas… & being in Australia, I knew the best way to achieve this was with my outfit!

I wore my white Stella McCartney for Target Lace top & tulip skirt – ever so kindly gifted to me by my mummy and daddy! I teamed it with a gorgeous black Sportgirl handbag I just received from my sister; while my grey heels are from Kurt Geiger.

Although it rained all day, I had a wonderful Christmas Day spent with lovely family, delicious food and lots of fun!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & are enjoying the festive season! xx

P.S. What outfit are you wearing on New Year’s Eve?

Editor’s Letter

The week that was…

In this week’s letter from the editor, I have two bits of exciting news!

One… Uptown Twirl and I were featured in the Gold Coast Bulletin, an Australian newspaper publication. I was so excited and flattered to be featured and I have included a link below to read the article on the Uptown Twirl Facebook page. Click here to read the article…x 

Two… I thought I would tell you a little bit about me – the girl behind Uptown Twirl…

Q&A’s with me…

I think my best quality is…
Being Kind… I try to be nice to everyone.

My worst Quality would be…
Impatience or indecisiveness… I really just can’t decide.

My best feature…
My smile. I smile a lot :)

Favourite Fashion Designers…
Chanel is my all time favourite. Attending a Chanel show would be a dream come true and when it happens I will most likely cry… a lot! Some of my other favourites include: Chloé, Dior, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Burberry and YSL. But there are so many more!

My Style icons…
Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Diane Kruger and Zooey Deschanel.

My fashion style…
I would say my style is feminine, colourful and I try to choose classic pieces. I love 60’s style, so 60’s shift dresses, coloured tights and mary-jane heels make up a large part of my wardrobe.  

Top Of My Autumn Wish List…
Love the Louis Vuitton 50’s inspired wasp waist circle skirts!

First Fashion Memory…
My Nanna loved sewing and I think that is where my love of fashion came from originally. Seeing clothes being made from scratch right in front of me I found very intriguing. When I eventually learned to sew I was obsessed with fashion!

Favourite City…
Paris! I have been many times and still cannot speak French! It is one of my goals to learn.

Favourite Websites…
Love Net-A-Porter for admiring potential purchases; Style.com for fashion week coverage and collections; Vogue.co.uk for all round fashion news, events and photos.

I am happiest when…
I am spending time with my husband James, eating great food, travelling and discovering more about fashion (i.e. shopping!)

I relax by…
Shopping! I live right near Hampstead and love shopping on Haverstock Hill!

My last supper would be…
Pancakes and maple syrup with ice cream.

My addictions would be…
Fashion, buying fashion magazines (Vogue & Elle a must!), cupcakes and working on Uptown Twirl.

So that’s a little bit about me. But I would love to hear about you! Let me know your obsessions, must-have fall pieces and favourite things…xx
