1:Face Watch

I came across these beauties while surfing the web, they are a sleek design and come in lots of different colours and each one you buy helps change the world!!

THE WAY IT WORKS

Each colour represents a different cause and each one carries a particular metric, for example if you buy a white watch their supporting charity One Day's Wages provides food supplements to 16 children in the Horn of Africa. Through their website and social media channels, they let you follow the help that you have aided.

So for once its not just a fashion product, its something more.

What Each Colour Means

 HUNGER: WhiteOne Day's Wages

The horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia) has recently experienced its worst drought in 60 years, leaving 13 million people in need of assistance and food. Along with their long term work in the region, for every white watch purchased, One Day's Wages will be able to provide treatment for 16 malnourished children with food supplements they desperately need.

WATER: YellowCharity: Water

30,000 people die every week from unsafe drinking water. For every 625 water watches purchased, Charity: Water will build a well, providing sanitary drinking water for an entire village.

 BREAST CANCER: PinkNational Breast Cancer Foundation

1 in every 8 woman will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. A simple mammogram can help save these woman's lives.  However, millions of women don't have the money to pay for this procedure. Every 14 pink watches purchased will enable the National Breast Cancer Foundation to provide 1 mammogram for a woman in need.

ENVIRONMENT: BlueThe Adventure Project

Everyday, 3 billion people in developing countries are exposed to toxic smoke when preparing meals.  The Adventure Project will provide 1 charcoal efficient stove to a family in Haiti for every 3 blue watches purchased.

AIDS: RedKeep a Child Alive

Over 30 million people live with AIDS worldwide. For every 5 red watches purchased, Keep a Child Alive can provide the AIDS care necessary to keep a child alive with AIDS alive for one month.

CANCER: BlackAmerican Cancer Society

Millions of people are affected by cancer each year. Many of them aren't educated about the treatment options available and even more struggle with the emotional impact this causes on them and their family. To help these people, for every black watch purchased, the American Cancer Society can provide the necessary education and support to 8 cancer patients and their families.


Their Story

This project began its life at MIrza Minds, a product and branding firm in Chicago. The watch brand was originally the vision of Creative Director Fam Mirza. Having experienced both the hardships of the 3rd world and the comfort of the 1st. Fam desired to create something that could bridge that gap and ultimately make the world a better place.

'Change originates from within. That is why the face of the watch is designed as a mirror. When you check the time, you see your reflection looking back within you.' - Fam Mirza

This is so tottally amazing and I'm definitely adding it to my Christmas List, now all I have to do is decide on the colour!!!!

There is so much more to this project so please go have a look and buy one :) because they are sleek, dynamic and down right amazing.

What I Wore..... Yesterday..

I think this is possibly one of my favourite outfits. These harem pants are from tesco and years old. I <3 them though. As you all know I think you can find some real gems as long as you are willing to wade through the rubbish!!!


P.s thats totes new hair colour. Brunettes have more fun, I wouldn't listen to anyone else if I were you!!!

Vivienne Westwood Red S/S '12

Vivienne Westwood has always been the leader in change and development. Like the Balmain Pre Season show, I'm getting a 40's and 50's vibe mixed together like a good milkshake. 

Here are my favourite pieces.








Not sure about the horrendous make up though! The playsuit is definitely my favourite though! So make sure you've got your Tommy guns, tailored waistcoats and ya dolly birds.

P.s the shapes are tottaly to die for!!!!

Balmain Pre season S/S '12

Balmain has always been one of my favorite designers. The line ooze's sexy maturity, the cut and shape of each garment is something that no other designer has achieved to the level of quality that Balmain have. It flatters and shapes each figure like a tiny little package perfectly wrapped and decorated like the sight of the Harrods Christmas department for the first time!!

So here are my favourite pieces from the Pre Season show.














Anyone else getting a 1940's vibe mixed with the power 80's look. The mix of patterns are intriguing and I wish I could get my hands on that Balmain staple piece (Cigarette pants).
