Music Monday - Do it like a dude

Jessie J

Jessie J is someone who I cannot stop listening to at the miniute. I only found her a few weeks ago after seeing her on the Jools Holland show. She is out of this world. She has so much attitude and swagger, I want to be her! Her voice has so much soul and she deserves to be going places in my opinion. I am dying to get tickets to see her live.

She must be good if shes being hailed by Justin Timberlake as "the best singer in the world right now." Hes a massive mover and shaker in the music business. She had been a songwriter for the past four years before she went into releasing her own material. She won the Critics Choice award this year at the BRITs.

This was orginally written for Rihanna but she decided to release it herself. I can totally see Rihanna singing a song like this. This is the explicit version, just thought id warn you in case you got offended :)

Vampire Love

Now I know vampire are not really anything to do with fashion unless you have a thing for fangs. I was planning on doing an outfit post but after walking home from work I really cannot be bothered to get out of my tracksuit and am quite happy with looking like Waynetta Slob. I am bloody freezing!

Since handing my coursework in, I have been obssessed with True Blood. I had been after another vampire style thing to get into after being sucked into Twilight. My friend lent me the first series and since watching them during the week I have become hooked. I need to own the books.

They are extremely sexy, so sexy in fact I felt like I was intruding and had to look away. I felt my inner prude coming out. I must admit sometimes Snookie grates on me a little but I can overlook that. I have only watched the first four eposides but already now its a television show that I will be making sure I own on DVD. I feel like im going to have a massive crush on Bill Crompton. Edward Cullen who?

Anyone else watch it?

The snow is insane here, we didnt really have any when it first hit the country but boy are we making up for it now! Its at least 4 inches and it suppose to continue snowing until 9pm so it will be extremely fun trying to get into work tomorrow morning!

Velvet

Now I love Velvet, I bust out the velvet dress every christmas. Once Ive got it on I know that Christmas is only round the corner. However not very many people share my love for velvet and I cannot for the life of me understand.
Especially where there are velvet beauties like this:

I think I might have let out an internal squeal when I saw this in Look magazine. How beautiful is that statement shoulder? It goes perfectly with her hair and the pale skin really sets it off. It just screams Christmas party at me! I think its the best dress i've ever seen Nicola Roberts wear and she always looks stunning. I have no idea where it is from, any ideas? I need to know if it is within my budget!

I've handed all my work in now so I can now relax until the New Year and look forward to my work experience at Nuts! Magazine at the end of next month. Im rather excited about that. Ill be working right next to the Tate and will be able to go to Borough Market in my lunch hour so life will be good!
