summer styling

As you may know, I love dressing up... dresses, handbags, shoes, I'm well and truly addicted! I like to buy a range of highstreet mixed with vintage and hand-made items. The more of a bargain the better! Unfortunately my price range does not reach to designer (one day...le sigh...)

the sassy minx

I just had a fabulous interview for Roxie Sweetheart from The Sassy Minx!

They have a super cool website with a blog filled with fashion, make-up and lifestyle treats, Sassy Sessions where you can have a personal life coach to become 'the mistress if your own destiny!' and even a personal tarot reading service called 'Diva'o'Destiny'.

Check out a my interview!

my favourite things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in a white dresses with a blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad...

All Hallows Eve

My theme for this years Halloween was a scary doll... the sweet meets the sinister!
Yellow frilly dress with lots of layers of lace and vintage under-skirts, combined with lacey blue gloves, pink mary janes and a Hello Kitty headband.



Check out my friend Katy who went as the Queen of Hearts, with an oversized Tatty Devine heart beaded necklace and heart crochet headband made by Gemma Marissa : )

Also check out extra special nights out at the Working Mens Club in Bethnal Green. They put on an amazing night with dance shows, magic tricks, pop corn and scary frame backgrounds for your halloween pics!

this is Neurotica

As you may or may not know, I am currently on an internship with an amazing independant fashion label called Neurotica. They specialise in original illustration, print and textiles that explore the contrast between the sweet, the sinister and the beauty in the everyday.

Each item is hand printed in London and the designs for Spring/Summer 2010 have been inspired by insects and flora and fauna.

On the 9th September it was a real FASHION EMERGENCY (9/9/09) at WAR! Magazine's extra fabulous fashion show at the Double Club, Angel Tube, London, showcasing the preview of the Spring/Summer 2010 Neurotica collection.

The prints feature vines, honeycomb, bees, butterflies, butterfly wings and flowers. 

It was an amazing day and evening with lots of free bubbly and the show was a definite success. Check out the photos of the models and see Neurotica's beautiful clothing at:

Ma petite sirène

I love films like Walt Disney's the Little Mermaid and the oysters from Alice in Wonderland.

Ma petite sirène, her hair is flowing and entangled with seaweed and shells.

I like to combine nature and humanity, a girl who's hair transforms into an Octopus's tentacles.

Lovely Kitty

After my little seaside break away from the city I feel much refreshed...

...I was surprised to stumble upon a shop called Ever After in the sweet little seaside village of Swanage, Dorset, full of goodies! To my sheer delight (which I could not hide to everyone else in the shop), lots and lots of Sanrio!!

I also discovered a fabulous treasure trove of Tarina Tarantino jewellery including the brand new Wizard of Oz themed collection.
Originally the images were illustrated (not sure if this was limited edition) and now the photographic images are used from the film.

I have yet to find the pennies to buy a piece...

*Sigh* One day...one day...

Other delights from the seaside :)
