Fifi Lapin

This stylish bunny is doing a 'year of the lapin' feature at the moment over at her blog.

She's up to may today and doing a new month every week.

May - I love that she's done a cupcake inspired look!

March

I may be a little slow on the uptake but for me this girl is a grower.
She was big back in the Summer and this fall, featuring in several campaigns; Valentino, Tom Ford, Balenciaga. Max Mara and notably Chanel alongside Abbey Lee Kershaw.

Freja also starred on the front cover of British Vogue in August.

So why has it taken me so long to like this girl? Because everyone makes her look so darn moody in so many pictures! I know most models are dark and moody and are told to look like that but I don't think it suits her. It wasn't until I saw her in the Vogue spring/summer 11 Catwalk report as one of the "Smiley Girls" that my opinion changed. I saw Freja in a completely different light when I saw the glowing smiley picture of her.

Now I think she's stunning!

Freja Facts: 23 years old Freja stands at five foot ten and weights 108lbs (49kg) and size six. She was born and discovered in Denmark.

I really really really want to be ginger!

Have you seen the Mulberry s/s 11 show? If not then what are you waiting for! Get over to glamour magazine now! (I am a long term supporter of Vogue and love the site for the latest fashion but Glamour has bigger pictures which is important when looking at significant details like broderie anglaise, nails, collars, trims, bags & shoes).

Possibly the best thing about the show is the models hair. Each model has crimped to perfection gorgeous auburn locks with big blunt bangs on top (fyi I know that I'm not American but I couldn't resist the alliteration).

Ahh I am insanely jealous! I wish I had the complexion to be a redhead!

p.s the clothes are pretty sweet too, expect a big Mulberry post later in the week.

Get to know me

Like most people my age I'm all over the internet, I have facebook, twitter, formspring, I even still have a bebo account!

I don't like to add people I don't know on facebook but I love to follow fellow bloggers that I read, then I know a little more about them plus I usually get a heads up when they post something. My twitter is: @emilyluptonx

I love formspring too, sure you do get some weird and inappropriate q's but you can block whoever sends them and ignore the question. You also get lots of funny questions and recently I have become quite the agony aunt. So go on, ask for some advice, what I like in a sandwich or what I wore to school today: Emily's Formspring

Blog design

I like the design of my blog but there are some things that I'd like to be different, mainly that the posts are very thin and I'd like something wider on my page. Unfortunately I can't adjust that without adjusting the whole template, I seem to be using a realllllly old one that you can't even use anymore and you can't adjust hardly anything either.

So I tried another template on a blog that I don't use. I tried to make it as similar as possible. I quite like it but I'm not keen on the picture borders, and there doesn't seem to be any way to make the post background the same colour as the background background! On the positive side I can adjust the post width and make it up to 1000 pixels which is effectively converting to a 7 bedroom house from a tiny flat. Currently I only have 400 pixels to work with!

Opinions please.
