On the prowl... This week's Daily Mail shoot

Hello all,

I'm hoping that you've already seen my Daily Mail shoot...if not, it's too late to buy it - naughty you! But you can still get an idea here.

I adore leopard print, so had bag loads of fun on this shoot! Here are some other shots from the shoot - can you guess Miss Magpie's favourite??



This one, of course!!






And here are the ones that didn't make the cut...





I love the leopard trousers - those I NEED!!

And in the spirit of all things leopard print, this is my latest obsession:


Courtesy of Chica Boutique in Spitalfields, I have recently added this fab leopard print dress to my repertoire (at least my holiday wardrobe repertoire). Here I am (above) in Marrakech pondering something or the other....

Everyone needs some leopard print in their life. Trust me, it's your instant ticket to style success. Go forth and shop!!

Coming soon... A day in Paris, a weekend in Antwerp, and the rooftop soiree that gave me an insight in to the world of McQueen. Stay tuned to find out more!

My DAILY MAIL feature for booby women

Hello all,

Miss Magpie has been a busy girl this week. I've been focusing on boobies - and very large ones at that. Check out my shoot for Femail magazine...and even better, go and buy the paper yourself, so you can check it out in the flesh (so to speak).

Here are a few of my fave shots from the shoot...


I love this Ingenue dress (I have it myself - but I'll tell you all about that in an upcoming post) - it's really slinky and hits all the right places. It suits small busts and big alike and it really makes you feel like a million dollars! It's from a shop in Spitalfields called Chica Boutique, which stocks a fab selection of dresses for all shapes and sizes.


This dress from Whistles was also a winner. The shape and colour are so gorgeous and show off the model's well-endowed chest without making her look top-heavy or tarty. I am also totally in love with the Angel Jackson bag I accessorized it with.





If I am being honest, I'd probably never step foot in to Ted Baker...but when the designers behind it are producing items like this, I might be convinced to change my mind. This peplum style zip up dress is as good for work as it is for play.

Anyway, go and check out the piece in the paper and let me know your thoughts...

I've got to go and vamp myself up for the Halloween party tonight (see below post). Pictures will come tomorrow!

AND IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ME TONIGHT, TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR AT MAHIKI FROM 7PM. IT'S GOING TO BE A FANGTASTIC NIGHT!!!!

Bingo wings are a thing of the past thanks to my DAILY MAIL shoot!

Check out my shoot for the Daily Mail here and more importantly, go and buy it TODAY!!!

Inspired by Helen Mirren's complaint about dresses not having long sleeves to hide her bingo wings, I've styled up some options or every occasion, style and budget.  Aimed at the more 'mature' lady, I reckon we could all wear these dresses.

Here's a taster:

The DAILY MAIL and MY feature

** READ ALL ABOUT IT ** READ ALL ABOUT IT **

Miss Magpie writes for the Daily Mail's Femail section.

The ultimate commission: The editors at Femail ask Miss Magpie to compile an A to Z of Autumn/Winter trends.

Yes dear readers, yesterday saw my name on a double page spread in the Daily Mail.


It was so incredibly exciting to open the paper and see all the hard work of the last week looking so fabulous across a double page in the country's most popular newspaper! Yes, I did buy five copies.


And there's my name!!! (Come on - you didn't think my real name was Miss Magpie did you?!?!)

Then, the excitement was doubled as my feature made it on to the Daily Mail website. Have a look at it HERE, so you can see exactly what you should be wearing this season.

As you can see from my recent shopping trip, I'm working my way through the list:

A is for Animal Magnetism...TICK (Zara leopard print top)
D is for Dramatic Accessories...TICK (Butler & Wilson jewellery)
E is for Easy Rider...TICK (Zara leather skirt)
O is for Over-the-knee Boots...TICK (Dune thigh-high boots)

What I would like next:

S is for Shearling Jacket
T is for Trekking in Style

But to be honest, I think (if I could) I'd get it all!!

WHAT ITEMS ARE ON YOUR WISH-LIST?

Let me know what takes your fancy this season.

For those of you who are too busy/lazy to click on the link, here's a taster of what Femail readers were casting their eye over earlier this week:


Goodbye Size Zero: Plus-size designer fashion finally makes its debut, courtesy of U.S. department store

The fashion world may continue to argue the plus-size debate for years to come, but one company has taken matters in to its own hands.
Saks Fifth Avenue, the ultra chic American department store, will soon be adding plus-sized clothing to the high-end floor of its world famous New York branch - a major coup for designers, shoppers and the fashion industry alike.
Due to hit rails in conjunction with the Autumn/Winter 2010 collections, garments that were last season only available up to a US size 10 (UK size 14) will soon be up for grabs up to a US size 14 (UK size 18) and some styles may even be produced up to a US size 20 (UK size 24).
Saks Fifth Avenue's legendary third-floor houses collections from the world's most exclusive and celebrated designers...
