A Bikini Kinda Life

I spend a lot of time browsing through Billabong's various channels. Their website, Instagram and Blog keeps me amused for hours, just staring at the lush blue sea and gorgeous surfers. Pretty much every lookbook they post on their blog makes my heart burst and break in equal parts. Bursting because of how much I love everything about it, but breaking because it just makes me miss the sea...

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.

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...

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...
