Erdem

Now we all know that the fashion industry likes to stay five steps ahead of the world, which is why even though we're a day shy of good ol' Christmas, most fashion houses and brands have already introduced their pre-fall 2013 collections.

One such brand which has done so is the British brand Erdem, which I discovered on a Kate Middleton fashion blog of all places.

I must say that I've fallen in love with their sweet, floral pieces such as elegant, ladylike dresses and GOSH the most gorgeous shoes I've seen in a while. Take a look:

I must say that I was also significantly wowed by the Pre-Spring 2013 collection as well. It was fresh, full of beautiful simplistic pieces and contrasting intricate designs.

Little Mix ♫

If you don't already know who Little Mix are, let me break it down for ya :)

 Meet Jade, Leigh-Anne, Jesy and Perrie (in that order). Together, they won the eighth season of The X Factor UK and now, you could basically say they're the female version of One Direction :P

 Their first proper single was "Wings" which only a released a little while ago. Honestly, I'm quite impressed. Living in Botswana, you don't obviously get X Factor UK here or maybe you do but no one really watches *Bots is dominated by the "Idols" series* so obviously I hadn't heard of them and I wasn't expecting much.
But their music is really cool. What I like, is that their music is empowering and uplifting and they don't feel the need to show skin and turn the music video into a semi-porno.
Which is I think is really cool, so props to that ✔

Fact: Little Mix used to be called Rhythmix

Another thing that immediately draws me to them is their amazingly fun and funky fashion sense which I positively ADORE.
Seriously, I'd totally love to raid their closets.

 Fact: Perrie *the blonde one* is Zayn Malik's girlfriend.

 Fact: Jesy has been a victim of cyber-bullying and used to be a barmaid before joining Little Mix.

Fact: Jade auditioned in season 5 and season 7 but couldn't make it past the bootcamp stage. Now that's perseverance for you.

Fact: Leigh-Anne used to be waitress at Pizza Hut

I think they're going on tour soon too so watch out for that if you're lucky enough to live in a first-world country lol ;)
