A little while back I posted some photos taken at Easter when I visited one of the fashion capitals of the world: Milan. While there I visited the infamous concept store Corso Como 10 which is such a wonderful store to visit. As well as all the fabulous things to buy it has a cafe, gallery and rooftop terrace, where some of these pictures were taken. Although expensive … Continue reading Milan Street Style Corso Como 10
What to pack for Glastonbury It’s just three more sleeps to Glastonbury 2015 so I’m getting myself organised for four days of festival fun – and of course the unpredictable weather! Luckily I’m glamping at Worthy View so I don’t need to carry my tent, but nonetheless my backpack is pretty heavy with a sleeping roll, air mattress, sleeping bag etc. That doesn’t leave much … Continue reading Festival Wardrobe: Packing For Glastonbury
On my recent trip to New Zealand I “rediscovered” one of my earliest designer favourites, Kiwi Karen Walker. I was given a gorgeous necklace from her range of more affordable costume jewellery, news of which hadn’t made it to me in the UK. The range, Fantastique Magnifique Mainline Little Critters, emcompasses many Karen Walker trademarks in more affordable materials. While my piece in particular is … Continue reading FASHION: Karen Walker Critter Necklace
I saw so many fantastic designers on the catwalks and in he showrooms at London Fashion Week, but the brash fun, sports prints of Fyodor Golan caught my eye (how could they not!). While it may seem hard to wear I love this picture from Fydor Golan’s Instagram showing the outfit worn in real life by Rita Ora, she has the attitude and confidence to … Continue reading FASHION: LFW Designer, Fyodor Golan
This is a vintage bag I purchased years and years ago at a thrift shop for $3. It’s a classic that has come in and out of fashion over the past few years and I’m still not sick of it. Photos by Snap55: http://snap55.com Continue reading FASHION: The Vintage Bag
I adored this outfit from London Fashion Week, the kitsch accessories are perfectly matched with the chic stripe dress and beige jacket – it certainly helps to have a model worthy face as well as this lucky girl does!. The sunglasses are Prada Poeme 2013 Square Tortoise and the bag is Chanel from the 2014 Cruise Collection. I’m absolutely obsessed with the novelty Chanel bags seen in their past few … Continue reading LFW Looks: Coming Up Daisies
I used to be a vintage lover, I could even have been considered obsessed, 100 vintage handbags and counting… But then the trend got to popular, the prices to expensive, and the offerings too curated. I hated that vintage dress hems were pre-cut by shops to make them into more fashionable mini dresses. I hated that the selection on show was chosen to reflect current … Continue reading FASHION: Vintage Revival

A few weeks ago I visited a special evening event at Jo Malone Selfridges to indulge new products from their new range. In stark contrast to the usual Jo Molone minimalism, this range was eclectic vibrant and floral. Hand printed boxes covered in fruits and flowers are intertwined with old tin cans, paint brushes, street art prints – even the odd post it! It’s all … Continue reading BEAUTY: Calm & Collected For Jo Malone

Boohoo hosted their AW14 press day at One Marylebone last week with a bang, and a party bus. There was so many fun activities it was almost distracting from the clothes; fishing for rubber ducks, a live Instagram wall, a video message feature, hashtags on coffee cups…All very entertaining! Clothes wise Boohoo provided it’s audience with what it wants, trend led collections grouped into different … Continue reading FASHION: Boohoo AW14 Press Day
Fabulous Friday frivolity kicked off last week with a ‘catwalk extravaganza’ from Kiss Me Deadly lingerie. KMD always throw the best shows, (with past models including fire performers) so I knew the night would be no exception, and they didn’t disappoint. Combining cabaret, burlesque and lingerie is a winning formula. KMD knows it’s target customer and ensures their products are displayed on beautiful, talented and … Continue reading FASHION: Kiss Me Deadly
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
