<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Frieze Art Fair</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Last year I went to Frieze and I keep on meaning to do a post about it, and seeing as I have been so busy I thought it a shame to not do the post at all, so 3 months late here it is! My trip to Frieze.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Luckily I had VIP Passes thanks to friends,so we walked straight on through. The queues to buy tickets were massive and about 1 hour long, I felt amazing walking straight through, I felt so important!, a taste of what is hopefully to come in my future - hopefully.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The basis of Frieze is that galleries from all around the world exhibit what they have to offer for the coming year, with key pieces from their collection showing the direction they wish to take. It is essentially a networking event within the art community however the public can have a look too. It was very busy, that being an understatement. A massive tent in regents park, held the exhibition, literally incasing the trees similar to that of an art great exhibition, just a bit smaller!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The beautiful regents park is surrounded by white georgian town houses, which are my dream home, so I enjoyed walking past these on the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The fair is set out with stands for each gallery which are sorted by country, as if you travel around the world. I loved the cardboard box label signs for each space. This vibrant pink floor seen below was part of Pilar Corrias gallery London, this image does not show how bright the flooring was, you may think it would take away attention from the art but it oddly complemented it and proved London for being the rebel capital. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Dairy lea Cheese laughing cow carpets, bizarre but great - I think I may replace my bedroom carpet! Doggy cube stools added to the arty environment and these little touches made it a great experience with something interesting around every corner.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My favourite work from the entire collection seemed to come from Mumbai, these up and coming indian artists, work tends to revolve around used products, due to western countries dumping their landfill in developing countries. Therefore these artists seem to have taken recycling as a fundamental aspect of their media creating interesting and new work that reflects their new environment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some of the work was even interactive, the whole fair felt relaxed and didn't have the stuffy feeling of a gallery when you are almost too scared to even look at the work let alone walk through it!</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The beauty of Frieze is that you will just stumble across an Emin and then an artist you have never heard of before. You are opened up to so much interesting work in one visit, it is slightly overwhelming the volume of work in this tent!</span></div>

I love the way Rae uses the paint, soft blurred edges, confident brush stokes, drips and flicks all coming together create a mesmerising finished piece.<br /><br />I would recommended booking in advance and taking a trip to frieze next year, it may be expensive at around £25 a ticket but there is a lot to see and it a great day out.</span></td></tr>

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Have you ever dreamed of being able to create your own shopping centre, filled with shops you love that are only a click away from each other?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I sure have; seeing as my favourite shops always seem to be as far away as possible in the shopping centre, resulting in me doing the equivalent of a marathon. Online shopping has always been the solution to 'shop until you literally drop', however Mallzee now combines the shopping experience with the comfort of your own home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The beauty of Mallzee is that it combines social networking, you can get that important advice from your friends before purchasing a product. In your Mallzee you can create your own wardrobe to check out later making sure there is no one else wearing the same as you to an event.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">And the best is yet to come...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Not only can you shop - you can earn. Whenever you or your friends shop via your Mallzee you will earn money that can be spent in Mallzee or donated to charity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">So sign up for an exclusive prelaunch at <a href="http://mallzee.com/">Mallzee.com</a> plus be in the chance of winning £100 ($155) for every friend you recommend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Some of the current brands confirmed are Urban Outfitters, New Look, Feel Unique and St Tropez.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Sign up, and we could be shopping in each others Mallzee very soon.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Basically a weekend advertising event for Diet Coke, Kinder Bueno, Compeed and Lavazza.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So my day began with an early morning drive to Newbury Park Station where we boarded the tube to Liverpool Street.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt21LwggcDxNHHjuuWWnsSBpH2pAk8jChKq-mDzZDwYFJPikSddb83ZAqD00-OBgmONnDKP4S7CMrGrwQUQLJUaepnA3WFMv8MNYBb_dd-FrgXQWlkaAbhqzY6inmUbg-ZjgKAeifK-EG3/s1600/IMG_2215.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt21LwggcDxNHHjuuWWnsSBpH2pAk8jChKq-mDzZDwYFJPikSddb83ZAqD00-OBgmONnDKP4S7CMrGrwQUQLJUaepnA3WFMv8MNYBb_dd-FrgXQWlkaAbhqzY6inmUbg-ZjgKAeifK-EG3/s320/IMG_2215.PNG" width="319" /></span></a><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Once arriving at Liverpool street we got the number 23 bus to Somerset house. A beautiful location and the fact that fashion week was there a week earlier is enough for me - to think I may have walked the same cobbles as Alexa Chung. When we arrived we were not met by an endless queue we just gave in our ticket and walked right on through. To quickly realise that you could only pick up your show bag from the stall before security, then we were confronted by a sign which read: 'No Re-admittance'. Therefore we had to wait until we wanted to leave to collect it - which was a plus as we did not have to carry it around all day. However the queue was massive by the time we left, an organisational error I do believe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We were not missing out, the show bag just contained a few measley samples from the above brands and in addition a self tanning mit, label m salt spray, cheap compact mirror, toothpaste sample, a smidge of Elizabeth Arden 24hr Moisturising Cream and the highlight of the bag a John Paul Gaultier designed Diet Coke!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't mean to sound ungrateful but if I hadn't of got a discount on my tickets that show bag would of cost about £10 which I do not think the contents would have even added up to in value.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">To be fair it was 'designed' by mulberry - more like they gave them permission to use their logo! However it is probably the closest I will get to owning a mulberry bag....</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Shortly after we arrived we had a coffee and some free lemon and orange water before hitting the shopping!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Beginning the crusade of fashion with the Designer section meant that: I would be disappointed that my bank balance couldn't stand a chance against the hefty price tags, have a spot of lunch and then finish the day on a high with the clothes that I could actually afford without having to live on half a can of baked beans for a month. I must admit if I was loaded I would be in fashion heaven seeing as there were so many great bargains - Valentino Red Label dresses reduced from £1,500 to £700, that really is a bargain in my eyes, just one I can only dream of attaining.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My first Purchase of the day was..........</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A pair of mittens!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These were not just any mittens - ( Read in M&S voice) - these were fleece lined 'Nelly' mittens and only £2.50. At this price everyone should figure what they are getting for christmas!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">'Nelly.com' is an online Scandinavian brand that had a pop up store just that weekend, you could try on samples of their clothing but you had to order it while you were there and then it would be delivered within a week. Their campaign range '5inch and up' designed by Sandra Hagelstam was what really interested me, the chunky knits and tailored trousers at reasonable prices was something to get excited about.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not only did they have some amazing pieces to order they had sample shoes all at £15! Unfortunatly they were all in a size 6, and no combination of insoles, heel grips and stuffing could make them small enough for my size 3 feet.</span></div>

We all know that leather is a massive trend this season, this was definitely confirmed by the number of woman pushing and shoving to get their hands on a leather garment or accessory from this store. My first choice was a large slouchy hold all but I put it down for one second and a frumpy unyummy mummy took it straight away, however I am ever thankful to this woman seeing as when I saw her carrying it, it didn't look too good! This clutch was a match made in heaven, it is large enough to use everyday with a zipped section and a purse section, the soft robust leather and screw top fastening gives it an edgy grunge feel, but could also be dressed up for an evening out. I could not ask for anything more. At only £50 I was sold.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Literally the best Grapefruit Juice I have ever tasted, I actually saw them squeeze 2.5 Grapefruits to make that Juice - AMAZING!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> After that last refresher I made my final purchase of the day (Dramatic Build Up...) A pair of velvet ankle boots by House of Harlow 1960. At originally £225 the price was slashed to an unbeatable £70. These shoes are so cute and comfy and look perfect with frilly socks, tights and dresses, unfortunately they are not so practical in the rain, but they are perfect for a dry spring/autumn day and I love them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> I also updated my Elle subscription, which was only £15 for a year with free Benefit Rita Perfume and sample size Bad Gal Mascara.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So after a hard day shopping and browsing I made my way home and said goodbye to the beautiful Somerset House.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I returned home to Essex after a fun day in London with a few good purchases. I will however never buy a show bag again seeing as it was absolutely awful this year, to think two years ago we were getting full size Juicy Perfume and full size Elizabeth Arden products and now the highlight is a self tanning mitt and Aloe Vera Tissues, knowing my luck next year it will be amazing and I will miss out, but I highly doubt that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Every year I say to myself I will not go again but I'm afraid I do, because every year I pick up those few items that are worth paying for a ticket and wanting to go again.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am a bit poor at the moment therefore I thought I would share with you an outfit I would buy if i could afford it!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is the perfect outfit for a winter night, worn with black tights, heels and a leather Jacket.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Both items are from the new Miss Selfridge collection, I love the lace shirt because of the cute subtle puff sleeves and the plum ribbon tie that luckily perfectly matches the Peplum Skirt. This shirt has been featured in many magazines so you may be fighting me and many others at the checkout on pay day.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This dress is made of a thick heavy jersey, perfect for the winter months, with a cute velvet collar. The only downside is the small cap sleeves as personally I am not a fan of them, however if that sleeve suits you then this is the perfect winter dress. This dress is also great to spin around in!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;">"You go to your closet and you select that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002,</span>Oscar de la Renta<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"> did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers." etc.....</span></i></span></span><br />
