Cover Loving: Emma Stone For Interview Magazine

It feels like I have been doing blog posts about September issues for months now, I am over exaggerating I know, but there has just been so many incredible covers, and I have to add Interview magazine’s sci-fi-inspired cover with Emma Stone to that long list. This is Emma Stone’s debut cover for Interview and what a statement cover. Shot by Mikael Jansson and styled by Karl Temper this is one of the edgiest editorials I have seen from the actress, normally her covers are more girlie, elegant and kooky – but never have I seen her work such gorgeous strong high-fashion pieces

AW11 Campaign: Louis Vuitton Ladylike Dominatrix

I love it when all the new campaigns are released and Louis Vuitton has really raised the bar for autumn/winter 2011 ads shot once again by Steven Meisel. It is a very sophisticated, polished campaign styled by Karl Templer, and features the amazing Daphne Groeneveld and Anais Pouliotin working their chauffeur hats on the backseat of a vintage convertible, complete with the latest fashion accessory two cute doggies. The Louis Vuitton autumn/winter 2011 runway show was a hotel-come-S&M palace and I like that comes across in this campaign. I love that it is very ladylike meets dominatrix, especially shown in the label’s luxe accessories. I love

  • Had a denim love affair at the launch of the new blue Olympus Pen - it was so much fun getting tips off @stylonylon @jaysinstaworld & the whole @Olympusuk team - like doing custom white balance - such a simple thing but totally made this flatlay so much better with less editing. ... The new Olympus Pen is not only prettier - hello lovely denim blue hue, which is exclusive to @johnlewisretail, but it has also had a software update with a clearer menu and better picture quality, it can film in 4k, which would even make me consider doing more videos say for this new IGTV, and it just feels better to hold and shoot. Not going to lie I want to upgrade! ... I also got to play around with the lens and I really want to add the 17mm the collection - anyone else have it and love it? ... #OlympusPenParty #OlympusPen #Epl9
  • Friday flowers - went for lovely sunflowers over peonies - I know controversial blogger choice - but there is something so cheerful and beautiful about a sunflower that I couldn't resist them. ... Scroll to the next pic as Falcon certainly wasn't impressed - cheeky little bugger always photobombing my shots! ... It was nice to have an afternoon in the garden with him though he is such a happy dog hard not to smile - but now I'm off into London to see the Olympus gang and hang out with some of my favourite people - will I see any of you there?
  • When I think of Paris, I think of all the beautiful old doors, it's like giants used to live there. On my recent trip I think a quarter of my photos were of doors, there are so many pretty ones from bright colours to ornate beauties. I'm not fussy I love them all. ... Also, I've been asked a lot about this @joanieclothing dress it is the Natalie and it also comes in blue - it is super comfortable and perfect for a hot day as it is light. It also has these cute bows detail on the sleeve that is so charming. I love it. ... Dress: Joanie (Gifted) Trainers: Ego (Gifted) Bag: Zatchels (Gifted)
  • Celebrations on the beach. At the weekend, Paul and I had a romantic picnic to just take a moment to celebrate that we've been in our forever house nearly a year, and oh boy, this year has flown by. It really is amazing seeing our house transform with us. ... What made it special was drinking Thatchers Family Reserve sparkling apple wine listening to the wind with sand between my toes. This wine is super refreshing and perfect for a summer picnic and come on you can't have a celebration without bubbles! Oh, and the weather certainly helped. ... See more on my stories and on my latest blog post - link in bio. #AD #thatchersfamilyreserve #thatchers #SomersetAppleWine #applewine
  • Stripes and tulle = my kind of Parisian chic. ... What makes this look even better is that this @joanieclothing tee has this exact street on it - Rue Montmartre - that just happened to be round the corner from the hotel - I may have been a little too excited to have my pic taken here that my husband really didn't get it! ...

  • Happy Sunday folks - what another good day - I do love this warmer weather - it was so lovely taking Falcon for a walk down the river, while snapping pictures of the beautiful swans. ... I also finally got to see Jurrassic World - I'm a dinosaur junkie and I love these films - more so now that Chris Pratt is in it - so it felt right to put this pic of my Jurassic Park tee I wore when I was in Paris. ... Random fact about me I really wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger, even before I wanted to be a journalist, part of me still wishes I had taken it further and I still get excited when I hear about a major archaeological find. ... What career did you want to do when you were younger? ... Tee: H&M Skirt: ASOS Bag: Cath Kidston x Disney (Gifted) Trainers: La Redoute (Gifted)
  • I do love a beach day. It really is one of the many things I love about our move to Kent - being super close to the sea and this beautiful coastline. ... Today, was a really lovely day, a little picnic, a wander through the dunes, and then I went and picked out my new bike, after yesterday's mini adventure with @goodordering I just decided why wait - I can't wait for it to arrive to next weekend. ... How has your Saturday been? We're hoping that the weather holds out long enough to have a BBQ I bought posh brioche burger buns! ... Dress: Boohoo Shoes: @emuaustralia (Gifted) Hat: Mango
  • This week has been amazing, normally when I return from a great trip I'm not motivated and basically just want to eat holiday chocolate and what Netflix but I'm so glad I mixed it up and stepped away from my computer. ... Today I went on a fun cycling ride with @goodordering - who you guys need to check out I'm obsessed with their bags and eyewear - head over to my Instastories to see more - I just love that the bags click onto the bike either on the handlebars or the rack over the back wheel - plus they are super cute. ... I also conquered one of my fears I cycled on London roads and didn't fall off, even when a huge bus when super close. I really couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it, and how my confidence grew, it was so much fun whizzing through East London and checking out some incredible cycling businesses. @armourtexcycles showed off the most incredible mermaid sprayed bike which I so need and Jenni from @ldnbikekitchen explained all the maintenance courses you can do so you can repair your own bike. ... Thanks @lucieloves for the 📸 Bag/Sunnies: @goodordering (Gifted) Bike: @tokyobikelondon (Rented) Tee: Matty Bovan x Barbie Jeans: @tuclothing Trainers: @primark
