Combining my two favorite things

I was browsing one of my favorite websites the other day, www.thecoolhunter.com, when I came across something so mouthwatering and aesthetically pleasing that I just had to share it with you all.

I have a slight addiction to unhealthy food, give me a burger, french fries, ice cream and chocolate and I am so happy...in my world, there is no dieting, so teamed up with my addiction to fashion and design, these luxury fast food photos are really dangerous.

Yup you guessed it, after finding these, a day of binge eating was triggered...lets hope you have more will power than me!

London Street Style

Last week I ventured out around London to find the city's most stylish women.

It takes a lot of courage to be approached out of nowhere and agree to be photographed for a random girls fashion blog within less than a minutes notice, and no time to fix your hair and make up, so thank you to all of you who so kindly agreed to take part!

Here are a few girls that I found about London... I'll be back on the street style hunt at the end of the week, so get your best clothes out and prepare to be photographed!

"It's called the simple life..."

Wedding Belles

Everyone loves a wedding, a reason to celebrate and a royal wedding makes it that much more exciting.

I woke up at 7am this morning and immediately turned on the TV to watch the start of 'The Royal Wedding', by 9am I knew every detail involved, who was invited, who was wearing who, and what was going to happen next, to the minute. I almost didn't want to leave my room to switch TVs just incase I might miss the first glimpse of Kate's incredible Sarah Burton dress, a dress that was definitely worth all the suspense. Kate was a beautiful bride and I know which designer I'll be calling when it's my turn!

Like most Brits today I am feeling very patriotic so I wanted to dedicate today's post to our new happy couple, William and Kate and share a few wedding photos that I love.

 

Pamela Love. Classic Collection

If you are anything like me, you will like jewelry that other people don't have, the non conventional, original 'one of a kind' type. So I thought I'd fill you in on a secret, Pamela Love.

The New York based designer creates the most eclectically beautiful jewelry, each piece is unique, hand made and can make any outfit.

Pamela's signature pieces tend to include elements of nature and are hand carved and cast in precious metals. She is inspired by religious imagery, traditional African and South American jewelry and often collaborates with other designers for the likes of Zac Posen, Yigal Azrouel, Phillip Leff and Jordan Sullivan.

To bring some of Pamela Love into your jewelry box, visit www.pamelalovenyc.com. Definitely a must have.

Poppy King for No.7

After being away for a week I am now home and excited to start blogging again!

I don't usually do reviews but I found a great new lipstick that I wanted to share with all of my viewers. I am usually quite picky about what make up I wear, especially what brand I wear, so I can say that I was a little skeptical before trying Poppy King's range for No.7, but as soon as 'Allure' was applied I had a change of heart.

I can never find a lipstick shade that I like, I usually stand in the store for what feels like forever, trying to find one that actually works for me (and doesn't make me resemble a clown), before giving up.

Allure is a beautiful, natural, nude shade which I wore throughout my whole holiday in Israel. It's just one of those lipsticks that is an instant 'pick me up'. I'm yet to try out the rest of the range but will be stopping off at Boots to do so asap. Go get your Poppy King for No.7 lipstick or Click here to view the entire range. Who says that make up has to be so expensive?!

Jewellery by Tom Binns

I love jewellery by Tom Binns. The way he combines classic, Dada and gothic themes is beautiful.  Each one of his pieces are so intricately made, just like a piece of art.

Binns has now adorned icons ranging from Beyonce to Cate Blanchett and Michelle Obama to Lady Gaga. Which is your favourite? Will he capture you too?

Head over to Dover Street Market or http://www.tombinnsdesign.com/ to bag a piece of your own, I know I'll be buying the safety pin necklace.

Prada SS 2011 Campaign

I came across this video campaign for Prada's Spring Summer 2011 Collection a few days ago. The video is so animated, enjoyable to watch and really brings the clothes to life. I am certain that it was extremely fun to make. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

With Olivia Palermo as the face of the Spring Summer '11 campaign, I am loving Hogan's ads right now.

Versatile Blogger Award

Last week I was kindly given the Versatile Blogger Award by the lovely Adjo at Statement Art, Design & Fashion (http://www.statementadf.com). It was by no means expected but nevertheless very much appreciated!

The idea of the award is to explore, discover and recognize great bloggers around the world. They might be blogs that you have discovered and have been following  for a while or even ones that you have just come across and love. Its a great way to get to know the blogger community better and find some great new blogs to add to your follow list. 


So now that I have introduced it, the way that the Versatile Blogger Award works is this. 
Once being awarded you must follow a few simple rules:
Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog in your post.
Tell us 7 things about yourself or your blog.
Award 7 recently discovered bloggers
Get in touch with those lucky bloggers and let them know about their award.


Now heres the hard part...7 things about me (lets hope that they're interesting):
1.) I am one of 5 children, smack in the middle, but I don't think I suffer from middle child syndrome.
2.) I love finding new and exciting things to share with all of you that follow my blog.
3.) I started a blog because I always found things that I thought were amazing and thought, 'Wow, I need to share this stuff with people! They're missing out!'
4.) For me, there is no better holiday than sitting on the beach, with a Bloody Mary and a good book.
5.) My prize possessions? My King Charles Cavaliers, Brandy and Chelsea.
6.) If you're looking for me and cant find me, your best bet is probably at Snog on Brewer St. I'm addicted to Frozen Yoghurt.
7.) Something I couldn't live without...My converse.

GAGA Inspired

After the afro I did last week for the '70s Revival' shoot I decided that I was pretty good at doing hair (it must have something to do with my childhood dream of being a hairdresser when I grew up) and decided to have a go at some other hairstyles. 

Lady Gaga always does amazing things with her hair so I taught myself how to do her signature bow. If you want the easy way of doing this then visit Hersheson's where you can buy a clip in bow.

Here's my attempt...Let me know what you think! 

Every girl's must have accessory.
