Coco's Tea Party x Next: Behind the Scenes

Last month, I had the opportunity to spend the day working on the recent Coco's Tea Party x Next summer styling videos. Next are great at creating interesting and popular YouTube videos to promote certain products throughout the year and this time round they enlisted the help of Ella Gregory, from the fashion blog Coco's Tea Party, to help style up three different trends for the summer. As an...

Editorial Focus: Vogue Paris March 2012

Maybe it's the full page image of the girl prancing around on white sands with turquoise seas but I love this editorial. Granted, my French isn't quite at the level it was when I left school so I can't read the article fluently, but I do know it's all about how to get your body in shape for the beach. The copy on the left hand page doesn't follow any set columns but I love that. There's a great...

Summer Wedding Guest

This summer one of my cousins is getting married. I'm looking forward to it for many reasons and one of those reasons is definitely because it means I get to buy a new outfit. I've been thinking about it a lot recently, keeping my eye out in shops, so I thought I'd pull together a few outfits for you all to give me your opinions on your favourites. 1 - Next 2 - Zara 3 - Next 1 - Asos 2...

Editorial Focus: Stella McCartney SS11

I'm a massive fashion magazine hoarder. I don't think I've ever thrown one away. I always thought one day I'd find a use for them and today I have. I've decided to add a feature to the blog, where I focus on a particular campaign or editorial that I love. It means I'll be able to finally have an excuse to read through all my old issues, but it also means I'll have a nice collection of my favourites...

Style Icon: Emma Watson

Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have opinions on people we don't know. More specifically; celebrities. Some people may be quick to judge tabloid newspapers and magazines about how judgemental they can be, especially towards the appearance of female celebrities, but we have to admit that one way or another we will have an opinion about a celebrity - even if it's just that you like their...

Sunsets & Night Skies

Sometimes, I get the urge to write a blog post even if I'm not sure why. This is definitely one of those occasions. A couple of weeks ago, I got a new phone (the Sony Z1 Compact). When I got it everyone was so shocked that I'd decided not to just upgrade straight to the next iPhone, but I was convinced I'd made the right choice because of the reviews the camera had gotten (It's 20 megapixels compared...

Bow Down: Queen Bey

I have become a member of the (not massively) elite club of people who have seen the queen of pop and booty shaking herself: Beyoncé. On a cold morning in December, I was sat in my living room in my pyjamas anxiously waiting the call.. did we get the tickets? I swore if we'd missed them again this time I couldn't be held responsible for my actions, but my friend Phoebe is a ticket wizard and alas...

The Kings Arms on Fulham Road

A few weekends ago I took a day trip to lovely London to see some family. After being practically chained to my laptop and desk for as long as I can remember, it was so nice seeing some of my loved ones and to have a break from working. We went for a walk around the South Kensington - Fulham area and ended up stopping for lunch at The Kings Arms on Fulham Road. As it was Sunday lunch, absolutely...

Chiffon Midis and Metallics

Quick! ASOS are having a 50% off flash sale for 48 short little hours for both guys and gals. Luckily, I like their Facebook page so always get updates and as soon as I saw that beautiful four letter word I jumped on the site like a dog on heat (ladylike metaphor.. I know). Below are my two faves from the womenswear sale and I may have to admit to buying the dress I've featured. It's just so classic,...
