FASHION: From Sidewalk To Catwak

Last week I attended the media preview of the Barbicans new exhibition showcasing the designs of Jean Paul Gaultier. This theatrically-staged exhibition is unlike any other I have been to, bringing personality to each and every garment on display by using revolutionary projections alongside mannequins, bringing them to life. Talking faces, including one of Gaultier himself, are projected onto models so they wink, talk, and … Continue reading FASHION: From Sidewalk To Catwak

FASHION: ASOS AW14 Press Preview – Womenswear

The AW14 stories from ASOS have an overwhelming feeling of fun, exactly what we need to brighten up a dreary winter. Pop-art and cartoon style prints make an appearance, as do some glittertastic options. Pink is still a major player in both daywear and the Xmas party options. What a pity we have eight months to wait, I’ve got my eye on that pink sequinned … Continue reading FASHION: ASOS AW14 Press Preview – Womenswear

FASHION: ASOS AW14 Press Day – Menswear

I predict that men will be looking very sharp come Christmas. And I can say that with utter confidence because I’ve seen ASOS’s men’s AW14/15 collection… In April. Continuing with the current Americana craze (Five Guys Anyone?) there’s plenty of baseball inspired bomber jackets and sports luxe touches to the collections. Despite this American love there’s still a decent amount of British fan fair, with … Continue reading FASHION: ASOS AW14 Press Day – Menswear

BEAUTY: Nails Of The Week Racing Red

Sometimes you just feel like a classic colour, and red is a classic nail colour that’s anything but boring. Seen here: OPI “Red My Fortune” and Save The Nail 45 second top coat. I’m obsessed with this top coat, it really does dry in under a minute for a quickie manicure. It’s quite thick so use a small amount to avoid surface bubbles. Background Zebra … Continue reading BEAUTY: Nails Of The Week Racing Red

BEAUTY: Nails Of The Week – Black Out

I had my nails done and a mini facial at Rougz salon, Finchley Road, this week. I had purchased a basement bargain voucher from Last Minute.com (£10 for both treatments) so was slightly apprehensive about the quality. Upon arrival my first impression was that the salon is a bit tacky looking, lots of Rougz items and fake flowers. However, the staff were absolutely lovely. My … Continue reading BEAUTY: Nails Of The Week – Black Out

FASHION: LFW Diary Day 5

Dear diary… On day five of LFW AW14 I joined a cult. The cult of K-T-Z. Things had begun to wind down, and those of us who’d been wearing heels for 5 days straight were feeling a little fatigued. But it was a refreshing wake up call to see the ever interesting K-T-Z show. The crowd at the show were predominantly hardcore fans. The thing … Continue reading FASHION: LFW Diary Day 5
