Neon




My wardrobe is filled with black,beige,white,grey and some more black. It is a big deal for me to be embracing colour into my wardrobe further than red lips or pink nails, I am loving fluro/canary yellow at the moment and they way it adds a 'pop'  to any outfit! All the items above are from H&M i got the necklace as a gift and its my new baby, the blazer is currently sold out but I AM going to find away to get my mitts on it....my neon yellow mitts painted in 'i am not a kiwi' shade.

Dreamy Dellal

Chanel’s Boy handbag campaign video, featuring Alice Dellal, has arrived. In the old-timey, grainy video, Dellal carelessly tosses gowns and grapes about her estate—but worry not, she never leaves her Boy bag behind.
Miss Dellal has been a lady crush of mine for a few years and the combination of Alice and Karl is a treat for the eyes!
The kohl-eyed beauty has previously fronted campaigns for Agent Provocateur and drums for a band called Thrush Metal, who started their own record label Sweet Dick Music. 





The new campaign will feature in the latest issue of I-D magazine, which Karl features on the front cover for their "Royalty issue'

Steven Meisel spoofs QVC for Vogue Italia

I love this shoot, so refreshing from alot of the stale shoots that appear in Vogue.
Vogue describes the shoot as "an artistically ironic simulation of telesales programs, nowadays much in vogue in the United States. Where cult garments and must-have accessories, from purses to shoes, to the most sophisticated jewellery, are presented by It-girls and chic ladies."
The shoot as featured in the Febuary edition of Vogue Italia features the latest s/s designs from Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Prada and Gucci modelled by supermodels Joan Smalls, Natasha Poly and Karlie Kloss.
Luckily for my battered bank balances, shopping channels can only dream of being this chic

Chanel Christmas



I received this pop up No5 display from my cousin in Paris, I could watch the dainty gold perfume bottles and double C's twinkle round all day, simply the best christmas card ever!

New year, new diary!

Last week i bought this 2012 Action Diary, made by wearewhatwedo.org is a non-for-profit company. 3 things you should know about the diary: Its printed with soya-based ink, shipped not flown from printers in Singapore and all profits go directly to We Are What We Do schools and community projects.
The diaries come in vibrant array of colors (I opted for pink) and each week there is a different challenge such as Action 094: turn off the tap whilst you brush your teeth. or Action 061: speak rather than email. I'm a sucker for cute stationary so this diary will be right at home in my bag along with my macaroon covered pens and heart shaped sticky notes!
