Lady Gaga

She's known for rocking a body suit, wearing weird collars and having outrageous hair-do's and make-up...but I think this outfit takes the cake!





Ironically she wore this to the ACE Award ceremony in NYC where she was presented an award for her contribution to fashion!
I must say though, I do love those Heels!
This quote from Bricks and Stones made me laugh!
"Lady GaGa continues to contribute to the world of fashion in an interesting outfit showing off her unique style as usual, but was this one over the top? GaGa’s arrival made a photographer at the event pass out while standing on a ladder causing him to fall to his death! This was an accident but still a shock to the world of the photographers."

Haha who was it that said Fashion Kills?

Designers for Chain Stores

I am absolutely LOVING Kate Moss's range for UK Chain Store "Top Shop"!






I am definitely a fan of Designers for Chain Stores, we were lucky to have Stella McCartney for Target a while back.

But my ABSOLUTE favourite would have to be the designer range's for Sportsgirl, they always (!) have a continues flow of different designers with very different lines available.
They have some delicious pieces in stock at the moment from the Rachael Gilbert for Sportsgirl(link) range and while its quite pricey, these little gems are defs worth it!


My all time favourite Sportsgirl purchase was this purple Minty Meets Munt dress I bought for the races :)

My 21st!














I came across this as I was stalking my way through Gala Darling's iCing archives, and decide that although this challenge was made for February I will give it a go this November! It is exactly what I need to kick start the festive season and prepare myself for my big move overseas.
My iCing Transformation Challenges are as following:
-Lose 3 Kilos

-Complete my style Journal

-Post at least 4 times a week on Girl With a Pink Balloon

-Sew/Create more beautiful things

-Ooze Positivity and Banish Negativity

There we go. Those are this months goals! I'll be starting it on the 1st of November and working through until the 28th...If it goes well I may even use it as a way to set and meet my goals every month!

Since this is my first time doing the iCing Transformation Challenge I'm going to keep a diary of how I go day to day (which will also hopefully help me check off item number 3 on my goal list!), and in those postings will include links to her daily inspirations.
