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.

Away in the clouds...

When I was young, I would spend all my time in the treehouse in the back of the garden, be it with all my friends or for some alone time. My treehouse could not be measured against these but it still felt like a magical, invite only, secret place . I'm not even sure that my siblings and I allowed my parents to come up. Now at 23 years old, I still love treehouses so I wanted to share a few incredible  ones with you.

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.

The utilitarian kitchen

I recently came across this beautiful, sleek and modern industrial style kitchen : my idea of the perfect kitchen. White and stainless steel furnishings dominate the room creating an open and clean space. 

Using the original brick alcove to house kitchen pots, pans and bowls and fitting a wall-mounted rail for accessing utensils that much easier, is a functional and great use of space. 

The whole kitchen has been simplified to the max, reaching the full potential of the room and  creating an easy, clear and relaxed environment. This is my kind of heaven.

Find your favorite brick tiles to lay over your bare walls plus your perfect pendant lamps and start to have a similar kitchen of your own!

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! 

NOWNESS.com presents: Richard Ashcroft's "Are You Ready?"

We all used to love The Verve. You couldn't listen to Bittersweet Symphony without singing along, at least I couldn't so when I heard that former Verve frontman was making a go of it on his own, I immediately went on a search to find out just what he was doing. 

The result? "Are You Ready?", a funk-infused rock anthem that samples Bee Gees B-side “Our Time.”, the first single off of his solo album 'The United Nation of Sound'. 

“The dream’s always been to create music inspired by Marvin Gaye and the legends of soul,” Ashcroft says. 


Take a look at the amazing "Are You Ready?" music video by Giorgio Testi. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did. Watch Are You Ready? on YouTube
