Editorial Flashback: Puffy Takes Paris For US Vogue

March 20, 2014

Editorial Flashback: Puffy Takes Paris For US Vogue

The other day I was a very un-intellectual conversation with one of my good friends about Sean Combs aka P Diddy aka Puff Daddy aka Puffy, yep the guy who has more name changes than Prince, about remembering how before Kanye West he was the hip-hop guy that fashion loved to hate, or in my friend and I’s case – just love, love, love!!! You see we were kind of more obsessed with his swagger, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, come on I don’t think J-Lo would have worn that incredible tropical printed Versace gown if she hadn’t been with

Editorial Flashback: A Merry Fairy Christmas From Vogue Korea

December 23, 2013

Editorial Flashback: A Merry Fairy Christmas From Vogue Korea

For the latest editorial flashback I have gone for a Christmas theme, well it did seem appropriate for the time of year, and I absolutely adored this ‘Merry Fairy Christmas’ fashion spread that appeared in Vogue Korea’s December 2012 issue. Captured by Louis Park, this stylish avant-garde editorial features models Song Kyung Ah and Stephanie Lee as human decorations, all lit-up and looking very festive in a spread styled by Seo Young Hee. As well as being stunning, there is a decadence about this Christmas editorial that I just love, with the oversized baubles, the reindeer antlers and the gorgeous

Editorial Flashback: Lindsay Lohan’s Superhero Shoot

December 11, 2013

Editorial Flashback: Lindsay Lohan’s Superhero Shoot

Over the weekend my friends and I were having a discussion about Lindsay Lohan, as you do, and we were trying to figure out how many comebacks this 27 year-old has had – not the most intellectual of conversations and to be honest we aren’t sure how we even came to be discussing her but it got me thinking about some of her editorial shoots. There have been a few that stick in my mind – like the incredible cover she did for ELLE UK in 2009, the Interview cover looking like Elizabeth Taylor in 2006 and who can forget her

Editorial Flashback: Remembering Steve McQueen

October 26, 2013

Editorial Flashback: Remembering Steve McQueen

When we talk about male Hollywood legends surely at the top of everyone’s list is the incredible Steve McQueen – not only for his rugged good looks but also his long list of amazing films. My favourite is hard to choose, I love The Great Escape, The Towering Inferno and the original The Thomas Crown Affair – but I think if I had to watch one right now I think it would have to be Bullitt. This gritty crime drama has it all – a great backdrop in the city of San Francisco, 60’s fashion, and one beauty of a car – the Ford Mustang. It was

Editorial Flashback: US Vogue ‘Beauty & The Beast’ Starring Drew Barrymore

August 1, 2013

Editorial Flashback: US Vogue ‘Beauty & The Beast’ Starring Drew Barrymore

I am a collector of magazines, which some might say I am a hoarder of magazines, but it is because of editorials like this that I can’t seem to get rid of any of my old magazines. Recently I re-organised my office and came across a lot of magazines stored in boxes, which of course meant I had to decide which ones stayed and which ones went, I have to be honest not a lot went to the recycling!!! This fairytale editorial featuring Drew Barrymore featured in US Vogue’s April 2005 issue and is one of my favourite celebrity editorials, not

  • While today the rain may have returned, just as I walking Falcon without a coat, I've been working on my garden series for my blog - I can't wait to show you more of my garden, the trends I'm excited to try this summer, decor tips for the ultimate picnic, and the spring blooms that I'm planting to brighten up the front of the house.
...
Is it just me who loves a fancy picnic? It's the thing I want the most when the sun starts shining and I'm obsessed with this botanical safari I did over the weekend - these cushions from @dekoria.de are amazing and I'm in love with these plates from @dunelmuk
  • Another day, another blossom tree - there is no such thing as too much blossom, it is seriously pretty.
...
I've been so overwhelmed lately with work, so many deadlines that I'm making an effort to make sure I get out every day and just live, enjoy the beauty of the moment and today's mini adventure was wandering around this beautiful farm taking pictures of blossom. Not going to lie was a great Tuesday!

  • Perfectly, imperfect!
...
I've been thinking about this need to be perfect, to have the most Instagramable picture, background, outfit, home and life, and how exhausting it is trying to keep up with social media expectations.
...
Over the last month or so I've been having more fun with my outfits, shooting more on the go, worrying less about whether it is an outfit that people will like, and how many followers I'm loosing, and I can't tell you how much happier I've felt with my content.
...
We can all get sucked into this Instagram vacuum and the idea of everything being perfect but isn't there something more unique and human about being a little imperfect?
  • I know, Little Bo Peep wants her basket back - but she's out of luck it's mine now!
...
I just couldn't resist getting in on the trend - I think this might be my fourth basket bag and I'm not even sorry.
...
Also, who's been loving this mini summer we've been having? It has been so lovely hanging out in the garden, heading to the beach and having picnics one of my favourite things to do in the summer. What have you been up to?
  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week.
...
This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out.
...
Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband?
...
Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger.
...
Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine!
...
So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed.
...
Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
