Camellia Magazine Mugshot

Orange is the colour of summer dolls!
I am loving Vogue UK and Cosmo USA both going for orange covers!
I think I am going to introduce neon orange into my outfits like Christian Louboutin! -Just a small splash and it completely finishes a look- go for orange nails, lips or jewellery it will really make you feel summery! Add a brown blusher to complete your summer ensemble.

I recently bought a new Chanel nail varnish in Orange, Its called 'Holiday' (617) and boy does it make me ready for some sunshine! Check it out at Selfridges nowww!
Love Summer, Love Life. Love, Camellia Xo

Camélia Amour - Alexander McQueen

I am loving the new season McQueen! Especially accessories! I think these lace heels and clutch are amazing! Perfect with an LBD or jeans!
You could go for a rock chick look or a sultry evening look with YSL red lipstick!
The heels are not too high, they are the classic McQueen style- the shoe boot and I love them! Especially with the patent leather!
The clutch is so elegant perfect for evening and edgy enough for a smart day look with a messy bun.
The shoes are £790 -definitely an investment! The laser cut details are beautiful and go so well with the gold accents!
The clutch is £315- a little bit more reasonable! I love it! Just big enough for all the essentials!
I am loving nearly all the new season McQueen at the moment, its so fresh and wearable.
Check it all out at alexandermcqueen.co.uk !


Follow the Camellia Amour- be your own McQueen! Love, Camellia Xo

Camélia Amour- Dior

Hey Dolls! This is just a short one.
I Just looked through the Dior Autumn 2012 collection and I have fallen completely in love with Look 13! A dusty pink silk and cotton dress with silk leather satin detail. Perfect for a lunch with the girls or even a wedding!
Style with black accessories, a Dior patent clutch and simple Jimmy Choo pumps! I would also wear with a messy bun or an up-do, I dont like the styling Dior have done but it still looks fabulous!

Check out Dior Couture and ready-to-wear!

Dior Amour! Love, Camellia Xo

Camélia Amour- Louboutin




Hey Dolls, as you all know I love Christian Louboutin! I love checking out the new UK online boutique and my new favourites have to be the Lady Daf in black patent! These are uber sexy, stylish and classic! They are apart of the Classic collection I think and I'm in love! I think the little strap makes them look so cute and I may even prefer these to the classic Daffodile! I reckon these would look A-mazing with a skater dress and patent clutch-maybe Marc by Marc Jacobs.  They are around 625 GBP and I have to have them! I am waiting for my size to come in stock! Check them out dolls!



My second favourite may come as a surprise as I usually like to go to Chanel for my flats but these RollerBoy spike flats are to die! I love them! These are in leopard and I think they would jazz up any jean and blazer combo!
These are a part of the new fall collection and have only just been released online- They would go perfect with a  Lady Dior - Mixing classic style with Loubi spikes!
It is now official- Louboutin are perfect for heels and flats! I heard recently than Christian is starting a new beauty collection, I bet the lipsticks and nail varnishes will be so fantastic! I predict best sellers- just like the shoes!
Check out the spring/summer and fall/winter and Christianlouboutin.com

Camellia Met Ball


The fashion at the Met Ball this year was amazing! I see the Met Ball as a place for serious fashion, these celebs and fashionistas really do need to step it up!
My favourites had to be Rihanna in Tom Ford! I am loving this long sleek look on Rihanna she always looks flawless! Even though I do not agree with the alligator skin- I love it!
My next love was Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe, the turban looks amazing- perfect for the Met! Her make-up is flawless!
I have to say I love this Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2012/13 feathered gown worn by Cate Blanchette, she got it spot on just like Rihanna, using black but with such detail! I love it. Her make-up looks effortless and her hair is perfect to complete the look, she really stepped it up!

My best though has to be Rihanna in Tom Ford, I am loving Tom ford everything at the moment, dresses, glasses, lipstick- the lot! And Rihanna looks amazing! Rihanna teamed her gown with some simple black Christian Louboutin pumps- a girl after my own heart!


Well Done Rihanna! Love, Camellia Xo

Christian and Camellia

As you probably know, my absolute go to for heels is Christian Louboutin!
I adore them, they are complete works of art! I have recently uncovered a new favourite!
The Pigalle 120 is one of the most classic Loubis around but rather hard to walk in, the arch is just to high for me without a platform.
So, no more sore feet dolls! Try the Pigalle 100, still uber sexy but so so comfy! I can walk in these better than any heels I have ever tried on - ever!
They are 375 and I love them in black patent. 
Also, these are so classic they will never go out of style, they are really an investment as they are soo timeless!
The good thing about them is you can wear them for a day in the office or a dinner date with your girlfriends or even in the bedroom!
I love them, style with a cute black bag or make a statement with a patent Marc Jacobs neon clutch!
I am loving a non-platform shoe at the moment they were all over the runway and are really making an appearance in high street collections!
Where will you wear your Loubis dolls?
Love, Camellia Xo


What's all the fuss about Camellia?

Today, I got thinking, what is all the fuss about- what is she wearing? who has she married? what designer is her dress?
I love fashion, I think its such an art.
I love beauty and how you can be a different person every day by your lipstick or your Manolo Blahniks, but what is life without fashion?
I try every day to remember how lucky I am but so many don't even realise how much they are blessed. 
Many people I know have cut off from their family over money or possessions, all your left with is a few thousand and a vintage Chanel 2.55, but no love, support or a shoulder to cry on.
Is it true? Can you not trust anyone other than your family? If so, how do these people do it? Because when it comes to it, the closest friend will stab you in the back when a promotion at work comes up or the last pair of Pigalle Platos black size 39 are in stock.
I will still carry on sharing my thoughts, opinions and advice when it comes to new season YSL or Gucci, but remember dolls, a Prada purse won't help you when things get tough.

So when it comes to it, who chooses Fendi over family? 
Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Ted



I have been a fan of Ted Baker for a while now. It's what I like to call 'high street designer' Its affordable runway style and is really on trend right now!
I have been looking for the perfect New York day dress to wear when I go in October. The kind of dress Carrie Bradshaw would wear to a lunch date with the girls or a shopping trip on 5th Avenue - And I think I found it! Its £169 but could be used for day or evening. Its very flattering on all shapes and sizes and is also really easy to style. Wear nude flats and an oversized clutch for day and heels for night. Wear your hair up and have one small piece of jewellery. I would defiantly only use nude accessories though.
The bold print is very in right now, many designers have been using a print on the runways this season and are continuing through to autumn/winter.
I am also loving this Blue pleated skirt. Its very Halston with a rock chick twist. This skirt is fabulous. It is also available in hot pink. This is also really easy to style because it is such a statement already you don't need alot to make it look better. I think maxi skirts are really flattering and are perfect for a summers evening.


Speaking of pleating, Ted Baker also do this maxi dress in Orange. I think this is also a  nice twist on a Halston Heritage original, but Ted Baker has put its own twist on it. I love it - Wear a cute tribal sandal and clutch and your good to go! This dress is £199 - pricey but very classic - It wont go out of style you can style it up with anything that's on trend - leather jackets, a blazer, a denim jacket, a skinny belt, the options are endless!

I really do recommend you check out Ted Baker dolls, add some bold colours to your wardrobe this season!
Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia Camellia

Yesterday I journeyed to Selfridges and just happened to stumble upon Chanel - I wonder how that happened!
I check out new stock at least every three weeks and noticed a new pair of sandals. I have seen these before - around November and last summer in different colours but this was the first time I saw them and fell in love!
These are the new Camellia Sandal by Chanel. They are £185. Pricey - But the new Louis Vuitton flip flops are 285 and less substitutional than these!
They run small and are quite narrow, I am usually a 39 and I have a pair of two tone flats in a 39 but these I had to get a 40 - which is the first time ever!
They are so comfortable and you know the saying you can't judge until you walk a mile in their shoes'  - well walk in these and you will realise why I spend £185! The second I put them on I felt like a princess.
I cannot wait to wear these when I go on holiday this summer. The second the sun comes out this spring I will have them on my feet! I am so excited - I think these would go perfectly with a maxi skirt and tank or a mini dress. I think they are so versatile. Style them down with jeans and an oversized blouse- the possibilities are endless! I love them and I think you will too!

Journey to your nearest Chanel, splurge and feel like a princess! Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia Don't

I think its time to go through a couple of my dont's!
I have been recognising all my loves and likes but I think its time to get down to business with the bad stuff!!
I actually do find it hard to sit down and think 'what do I actually not like!?'
newlook.com £59.99 - The perfect patent peep toe!
First, lets go through the things I think are important - and when you get it wrong - I don't like it!
Number One: BAD SHOES - granny flats or tasteless heels or scrappy sneakers.
I know everyone doesn't have lots of money to spend on expensive things, I get that, but don't go round with hooker heels. If your stuck finding the perfect high heel for an event or dinner date - go simple. A plain black patent peep or pointed platform is great.
You will probably always find a simple black heel in Primark, New Look or Topshop depending on your price range.
from £12.99 to £75.00. It is not always expensive to look fashionable! Most high street stores create replicas of  the collections shown on the runway to if you cant afford the runway try River Island!
There is NO excuse for bad shoes!
My number two 'No-No' has to be chipped nail polish. Either take it off or touch it up!

Trends:
Creepers.
They are tasteless, Ugly with a capital U and should never ever be fashionable.
I am not negotiable on Creepers. I dislike them and they go under the title of BAD SHOES.

P.S I cant even bare putting a picture of a creepers so just google it instead!! 
I think that's enough Camellia Dont's for today dolls!


edit: I have just noticed Chanel have shown Creepers at their latest runway- I think it was Cruise 12/13- I love Chanel but I am still non negotiable! Creepers are awful from Primark and are awful from Chanel!

Keep it Camellia Do! Love, Camellia Xo

Check it out - those UK Dolls its on at 10.30pm right after Khloe and Lamar.
Coco has such good style - my favourites being her Hair - Cocos hair is always done perfectly. And this LBD is stunnning! I think for a curvy girl this is the best dress to wear on a night out, its so sexy and beautiful!
Also for those who don't already know - Coco is a 'SHOE FREAK!' She has one of the biggest shoe collections I have ever seen! It contains my favourite designer Christian Louboutin! Coco has every single killer pair of Christian Louboutin heels! They suit her so well making her look sexy and ready to rule the world! You will never find Coco in sweats and trainers - She is a true girly girl in beautiful dresses and Amazing shoes!
I have to say my favourite pair of Cocos Louboutins have to be her Barbie pink ones! They are and anniversary pair, and are stunning! Me and Coco are actually the same shoe size so if your reading Coco...*Cough Cough* Haha!
For those of you who don't already follow Coco on twitter- Check it out - @cocosworld
And also check out the best blog ever (after mine of course) - www.thecocoblog.com which has all kinds of news about Cocos busy life and her amazing Shoe of the Week which can not be missed!
You will always find Coco with a new Jimmy Choo or a limited edition Christian Louboutin!
Coco has an amazing personality and is so inspirational, she has worked so hard to get where she is today and is a true role model to everyone!
Coco has the most amazing relationship with Ice T who stars in the US Law and Order. They really do make you believe in true love!

Camellia meets Blue

Chanel have recently released a new collection of Le Vernis nail colours in three magical shades of blue.
My favourite and the most popular being number 555 - Blue Boy.
It is the middle tone of blue being exactly the right shade for spring - ideal for evening or day and perfect with Chanel's denim collections of shoes and bags.
The nail varnishes retail for £17.50 and are well worth the expense!
What blue are you? Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Tom

Nearly all my make-up is Chanel, I am rather a loyal customer! But when I was shopping in Selfridges yesterday I checked out Tom Ford!
I wear glasses and have done for years, my first pair were Armani, my second Chanel and my current pair are Tom Ford. I got these a while ago and Tom Ford was virtually unknown to me!
So back to the story- I was shopping and walked up to the Tom Ford space and fell in love with the bold lip and nail colours and the seductive eye shadows and bronzer!
I ended up buying rather more and I wanted, and as Tom Ford is quite highly priced my bank balance did suffer accordingly!

However, the lady who helped me was fabulous and did my whole face in the stick foundation and highlighter powder and the new 2012 spring collection eye creams which are in gold, platinum and copper shades, they are amazing. You only need a tiny amount and they look great and are seriously long lasting- i bought two- the Platinum and Spice at £28.00 each which is rather alot but I think definitely worth it. I also got the brow sculptor in Espresso which is also brilliant- well worth the hefty price tag of £32.00
My favourite though has to be the lipstick - its bold and bright and will make any outfit look fabulous, it is a must have dolls! Its a shade of purple and is called Violet Fatale. Its really long lasting and looks so glossy. The lipsticks are £36.00 but so worth it. Its perfect for night and day - casual or smart and defiantly perfect for spring/summer.
I also have fallen in love with their private blend fragrance - Black Violet. You have to check it out its AMAZING!
Check out Tom Ford cosmetics dolls at a Selfridges near you!  Come and meet Tom, I know you'll fall in love! Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Cath

Recently I have been cheating on fashion with furniture - As Carrie Bradshaw would say!
I absolutely love Cath Kidston prints and have bought a few sets of towels and bedding! Its so vintage and cute, perfect for any girly girl!
John Lewis, Selfridges and Asos stock numerous Cath Kidston products! Its very reasonably priced and is fantastic quality!
If you are looking for a new look in your house, apartment, or bedroom look no further!
The vintage rose is my favourite- bright and bold and goes with almost everything.
Cath Kidston do all things fabulous from bags and wallets to soap and wallpaper its amazing.
You must check it out on cathkidston.co.uk for more information.
Keep it bright and bold dolls! Love, Camellia Xo

Lady Camellia

Hey dolls! Its been a while! I have been going all over to find the new hot trends, do's and dont's and hot colours this season!
Most recently I have found a love for Dior. I think its elegant and classy and most certainly on trend! The lady Dior is my absolute favourite! Its so classic and off course given its name 'Lady' after Princess Diana.
I am still loving nudes this spring and the lady Dior does come in nude and black and then other statement colours such as red and pink.
I personally prefer it is lambskin nude and patent black and either in the small or large size. Large for day and small for night but really either could be used as an all day look.
I do love a large bag but the small Lady Dior is so petite and cute, who wouldn't love it?!
I prefer the gold hardware but both looks great, it is more personal preference than anything.
I would wear the large Lady Dior with a cute black skirt suit with a large statement coloured tie - going for the elegant man look which the Kardashian's are loving right now! especially Kim and Kris who looks fabulous in these neon blazers!
And I would wear the small lady Dior with Chloe high wasted palazzo pants and pussy bow blouse all in neutral tones with Chanel flats and gold vintage earrings.

Nudes, Neon and off course a good print have all been seen on the runway this spring! Topshop and River Island have all adapted the trend into their new collections this season, all at high street affordable prices! Check it out online at Topshop.com and Riverisland.com.

Lets use the Diamond Jubilee as an excuse- keep it fashionably royal Dolls! Love, Camellia Xo

Monday 5 March 2012

Camellia and Christian

These Christian Louboutins are my new favourite! They're called decollette 100 pumps! They are classic and perfect for night and day. I think they are classy, sexy and all things Louboutin! I think they would be perfect with a McQueen LBD or even topshop jeans and a Chloe cami! Rock with a studded clutch or a Chanel 2.55! The heel is ideal for night and through day because not too high and comfy, but high enough to be sexy! These shoes make you feel like a princess, but a comfortable one! Platforms are amazing but I think this season is all about lower and sexier heels! check them out at net-a-porter.com! I'm in love with these dolls, join me! Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia Vintage

I am a real fan of vintage designer fashion. Chanel vintage bags and accessories are lush! Its really hard to find genuine designer vintage fashion online, but I've found this amazing site called vintageheirloom.com It sells Chanel, YSL, Dior, Celine and more! I am in love with this Jumbo Chanel bag! Check it out, http://www.vintageheirloom.com/chanel/2.55-bags/jumbo-xl-classic-bag This bag has been discountiuned so this is a real find! Check it out dolls! Find a Vintage style. Love, Camellia Xo

Monday 13 February 2012

Camellia meets Karl


I really like Karl Lagerfelds new clothing line. I have to say my favourite is this slouch tee. Perfect for an edgy evening look with skinny jeans, CHANEL flats, and River Island leather jacket! I think Karl has some amazing edgy pieces if your looking for a biker chick look- Karl for the clothes and Jimmy Choo for the biker boots! And off course, Louboutin for a studded clutch! Check out Karl at net-a-porter.com! Keep it edgy dolls. Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia CHANEL

CHANEL has to be my favourite brand. To me it just bursts luxurious and classic. I love the classic look in black and nude which is exactly what CHANEL does! I love the fashion, the beauty and the accessories. I would rather have one amazing bag, wallet and pair of shoes than fifty okay ones. I currently own a pair of CHANEL two-tone flats and a small wallet/card holder. I also have a selection of the CHANEL beauty including some amazing lipsticks!
A cute pink Victoria Beckham dress with sky high Louboutins, a black CHANEL bag and pearls!
Or maybe jeans and Gucci bow shirt with a stand out cuff bracelet! So many ways to stand out dolls, so why not use CHANEL to do it!
The CHANEL Camellia is my favourite thing in the world, its pretty and classic yet edgy and powerful. Everyone deserves to feel feminine and beautiful and I think the Camellia does exactly that.
I am in love with the classic quilt in a bag and purse.
Wear some amazing stand out earrings with a simple nude Topshop dress, stand out in a pretty and subtle way!
Every girl should own some CHANEL, it makes you feel luxurious, beautiful and completely classic!
Some of my favourites are the black quilt purse, the classic medium shopper and some classic pearls.




Feel beautiful, be Camellia, Be CHANEL. Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Jimmy

I am really shoe crazy right now and these nude wedges are to die! I love them, perfect for summer with a cute dress or shorts and a vest. Wear with an oversized Chanel bag and gold bangles. Jimmy Choo have some amazing new arrivals at the moment, I am crazy about wedges, check out the new season collection at jimmychoo.com. Go mad with Jimmy! Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Manolo

These were the first ever Manolos I ever noticed and really loved. The electric blue is amazing and perfect with nearly all outfits, I love them!! You can also get these in black, white and pink- I want them all! Most people will have seen these in Sex and the City the movie. Carrie rocks these beautiful shoes when she marries Big! Wear it like Carrie Dolls, see you in the city! Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia Louboutin


Christian Louboutin is known for super sexy stilettos, but recently I have noticed a super sexy bag! This python studded statement is amazing! I love the pops of colour, the size is perfect and it really does turn heads! Add this to a simple Jeans and tee or a valentino LBD! Loubi Love! Love, Camellia Xo

Wednesday 8 February 2012

Camellia Love

Be yourself, be confident, hold your head high, breath, stand tall, and walk down that side walk like your on the Milan runway. Every street is your catwalk dolls, you don't have to be a size 0 to feel beautiful and confident. Love is stronger than your dress size, hair colour, eye colour or skin colour. Embrace your self and be strong. Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia meets Victoria

Even though I am from the UK I love checking out Victoria Secret fashion! I love watching the fashion show on E! My most recent love from the runway was everything from the PASSION section! I have just found a new casual Tee from PINK I think its cute and casual, ideal for the gym or a casual lunch! Even comes with a bit of sparkle, and who doesn't LOVE sparkle! Keep it PINK dolls!
Love, Camellia Xo

Camellia becomes a McQueen


I know I have said this season is all about neutrals and small pops of colour, but when I saw this new Alexander McQueen dress, my mind was slightly swayed! I feel like this dress empowers you to become McQueen, it is loud, bold, bright, everything McQueen is. And I LOVE it! The belt shows off your curves hiding under the luxurious layers of fabric so well, its just beautiful! If your hosting a party or going to a premier or even on a special dinner date this is the dress! Style with very simple accessories and a cute up-do! If you have a gorgeous back, this is the dress to show it off in, the low back is sexy and fresh! Become a McQueen Dolls! Love, Camellia Xo

Louboutin Love

I am crazy crazy in love with Christian Louboutin! I want to share some of my absolute favourites!
The new Pigalle Plato 120mm in black, nude and pink are my all time shoe, they are also the all time hardest shoe to get hold off! The plato really helps to keep these shoes on your feet for longer! For those girls who need a little platform, this is perfect!
I love the Ronaldo pump in the bright blue/green I think the pop of colour is lush and a must have in a cute casual lunch outfit! The heel is only small so ideal for a shopping trip!
And off course the classic Daffodile black pump 160mm! This is the perfect evening pump for a sexy night out with the girls!


Pink patent pigalle plato pumps! perfect for valentines day ladies with a Lulu Guinness lips clutch!

Lush blue patent Ronaldo Pump! style with a nude skater dress and simple Miu Miu clutch! Make this your pop of colour this season!

Cute Black Leather Daffodile, style with Alexander McQueen clutch and LBD!

Keep it Louboutin dolls, Love Camellia Xo
