The Statement Necklace

This is my current addiction. Browsing the internet for massive statement necklaces like those in this post (sourced from theautumnissue.com and Elle.co.uk) The bigger the better! Neon colouring and metallic finishings are all over the high street and are the perfect addition to most outfits at the moment. Pictured here, most street style looks are already somewhat perfectly composed but I almost prefer when I see a piece of jewellery such as this chucked on over a slouchy jumper or relaxed tee. A quick and easy flash of colour that is instantly on-trend. 

Storyteller : Tim Walker at Somerset House

"The creation of fictive worlds and parallel lives is the stuff of fashion photography. Walker sees the world through a childs eyes, one honed to the singularly beautiful, the other primed for the monster under the bed. Of course its not real life for many of his recognisable figures: being trapped by clockwork or in the second dimension or in the backs of armchairs."

Tim Walker at Somerset House

Whilst at Somerset House for the ice-skating with Amy, I couldn't resist visiting the Tim Walker exhibition. It would have been rude not to after all. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was free to attend. As expected, the layout was quirky and very much fitting to the style of Walker's photography. Props from the images were scattered throughout and the fairytale wonderland settings created within this photographic genius' creations were brought to life. An oversized doll and the famous swan carriage that appears in multiple shots acted as explanation to the process behind the result. 

 As an avid fan of  his work and a proud owner of his PICTURES coffee table book, I was delighted to see some new work that I had never yet come across featured within the display. Pink Fireworks was a favorite on the day and I instantly started searching for prints of 'Charles Guiskab and Chandalier Tree: 2010' and 'Stellar Tennant on Ladder with drapes' to buy and hang on my now seemingly bare and boring bedroom wall. I am yet to have any success with this venture.

Josh Olins : Vogue December 2009

Texture upon texture. Metallic vs Faux Fur in this image from Decembers Vogue 2009 is powerful and striking. Love this!

Gwen Loos for Elle UK : The Tempest

Stunning photography in Elle UK June photographed by Enrique Badulescu and styled by the extraordinary talent of Anne-Marie Curtis. Shoots like this never fail to amaze me.  

Karl Lagerfeld's 'Little Black Jacket' Exhibition

'Lagerfeld Style' featured in this months issue of Vogue Japan. The Chanel designer posed for photgapher Eric Guillemain in his signature glasses and fingerless gloves. Taken stood next to his own images featured in an exhibit starring 113 celebrities and models in the iconic Chanel 'Little Black Jacket'. Styled by Carine Roitfeld and taken by Lagerfeld himself the online exhibition is one hundred per cent worth a browse. Iconic is certainly the word, classic, timeless and the epitomy of Chanel style, this collection of black and white imagery is inspiring and eclectic. A few of my favorites are below.

Aquabumps : #BondiNostalgia ...

These images were taken and produced by Australian photographer Eugene Tan. I am obsessed. For anyone who is either visiting or residing in Sydney I urge you to take a trip to the Aquabumps gallery to see these beauties in person. A huge array of fantastically mesmerizing images can be viewed and although my preference in this particular post is very clear (because who isn't partial to a pink sunset?) the shots are diverse and varied. 


Capturing some of the most beautiful moments at a variety of beaches, in a variety of countrues, with a variety of features these images sum up my love for Bondi. Take me back... #nostalgia

EO : New Kid on the Block

It was only a matter of time until the youngest female Olsen appeared on the covers of our fashion magazines. And introducing the American March 2012 collection for ASOS is how Elizabeth has made her debut. Looking fresh-faced and innocent, she wears an Elizabeth and James silk blouse to adorn part of the shoot. Photographed by Todd Cole in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York the look is certainly introducing the idea that Spring is on its way! Relaxed and comfortable, Eizabeth Olsen has certainly set herself a standard and created an impression on the fashion scene. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this actress.
