Chanel Temporary Tattoos

So, as much as we cite ourselves as uber-cool London chicks, the idea of someone sticking needles in you for a prolnged amount of time is a teensy bit off-putting when it comes to getting inked up.  Transfer tattoos are an easy pain-avoiding alternative, yet they can’t help but remind us of dodgy halloween costumes and the ones you got free on a magazine aged 9. Enter Chanel. Following their S/S 10 show where the models showed off cute swallows and Chanel logo’s on their skin, the house are putting a set of transfer tattoos on sale from mid February. The tatts, called ‘Les Trompe L’oeil Chanel’ come in a set of 55 at a price of £49. Pricey yes, but at an affordable way to buy into the brand, we predict seeing them on the thighs of fashionistas everywhere…

Street Style Sunday

A Weekend of vintage rummaging..

The weekend is finally here and this week we could be more excited… tomorrow we (along with every other london fashionista) are getting up bright and early and heading to wembley for the chance to stuff our bags with vintage goodies! Famed film and TV costumier Angels clear their warehouses by having this sale in which you stuff as many clothes as you can into a bag priced at £20 or £50 dependant on size and last year the angels sale was a roaring success, so they are back again with the promise of another huge selection of gorgeous fashion pieces from the 1960s through to the 1990s filling a warehouse in wembley. Last year there were reports of people camping out the night before in order to get best dibs on the goodies and queues stretching back crazy distances so we shall have to see how we get on! We are hoping for some exceptional fashion finds considering we are giving up our saturday morning lie-in for the cause!!

Music Crush – Chew Lips

Pop-dance-electro trio, Chew Lips, have been popping up on ‘ones to watch’ lists everywhere, from NME to Grazia. Their debut album, Unicorn, hit shops on Monday, and the band have shows lined up at the likes of the HMV: Next Big Thing gig and the NME awards. They’re even playing at a Skins house party, talk about being down with the kids! We predict big things from these infectious beats…

Love Magazine Reveal 8 Naked Covers

Brainchild of Katie Grand, Love magazine, has released it’s 3rd issue with not 1, but 8 different covers. Each features one of the world’s most ‘perfect’ bodies, including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova and Lara Stone, completely stark naked. The magazine has also printed the measurements of each girl to show how they all differ a lot from each other. It’s quite refreshing to see the girls so vulnerable, and shows us that not all beautiful girls are the same. We’re not sure we’d be too chuffed if someone printed out measurements for the world to see, but hey if you look like this lot then why not!

Tuesday Trend Tip – Couture Inspired Workwear

The paris spring couture runways were loaded with tailoring, whether in bold colours, structured designs or dripping with beautiful embellishment; tailored trousers, dresses and jackets were everywhere. This insipired us with the idea to liven up your smart workwear, so that every day you can feel like you have that little bit of the couture look, even in the office! Some nicely detailed brass buttons or silk lapels can allow a work outfit to go from day to night, plus its always nice to dress things up a bit once the warmer months approah and a winter full of dark and earth tones in thick practical and warm workwear is almost behind us. Here at FashAddict we have a few key pieces which should do the trick! And best of all, they are all available at our fabulous website www.fashaddict.co.uk
