Prada Nail Art

I love these Prada-inspired nails

featuring the iconic S/S banana print.

Can't wait to try these out at home!

IPR Press Day

I recently went to the IPR press day on the Kingsland Road, Shoreditch.

Here are the highlights from my visit:

The beautiful bold rings and knuckle dusters

(sorry can't remember the name, can anyone help?),

and the Prism glasses which I am obsessed with and desperately want to own a pair!

Cos Spring/Summer 11

It's no secret that I'm a huge Cos fan; I rave about it to anyone that will listen.

However, I took a friend in the Oxford Street store to break their Cos-virginity recently, and felt personally responsible when we both walked out empty-handed and a little disappointed.

Please don’t despair, as I’ve just browsed through their spring/summer collection and it’s fantastic. As we come to expect, there are some great easy-to-wear, minimalist pieces in classic muted colours. These are perfect for bridging the gap from day to night, and work wear to out-of-hours. My personal favourites are the black high-waisted trousers (above), and long-sleeved v-neck dress (below). I can’t wait until pay day to start shopping!

What’s not to love about the

feel-good Prada Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaign?


The film features top models dancing energetically in


a striking array of clashing coloured stripes and accessories on acid?


On my wish list are the crazy sunglasses - they are crying out to be worn at summer festivals.

LFW S/S 11 Highlight: Mary Katrantzou's Lampshade Skirts

With London Fashion Week A/W 11 almost upon us and therefore in the forefront on our minds (of course, like, when isn’t it!?), I have been thinking about my highlight from S/S 11. After thinking long and hard about this, there were several contenders to the London Fashion Week Swarowski jewelled crown.

The shortlist included Julien Macdonald’s sexy, sheer collection , the pure shock and hilarity of Janice Dickenson flashing at the LOVE Magazine party, Erdem’s picturesque open air theatre setting and his beautiful floral collection, the 70s revival at Giles and the Mary Katrantzou lampshade skirts.

The winner is...Mary Katrantzou’s lampshade skirts. Who would have thought that our favourite everyday household appliance could be transformed into this? Katrantzou mused: "With this collection, I wanted to put the room on the woman, rather than the woman in the room." Mary, we salute you!

Jeffrey Campbell Shoes

Jeffrey Campbell’s shoes seem to be the hot topic

of the moment in fashion right now!

Every time I open a magazine or

surf the blogosphere,

it isn’t long until I come across

Campbell’s name and his beautiful designs.

I really like his chunky, wearable designs,

which look amazing in his

S/S 11 lookbook.

I know,

this is quite a bold statement but...

his lookbook is quite possibly my favourite one for 2011!

I love the rural middle America backdrop

with the deserted scrapyard,

fast food drive through and petrol station,

it’s beautifully shot.

I salute you Mr Campbell!
