A Many Splendored Thing

I am not entranced by the noise and boisterous clashing hues,
as many are...
Do you find me weird?

Is my inner self that hard to comprehend?

I am a quiet person.
I like intimate spaces that speak of stillness, of tranquillity.

Let's get away from the bedlam and make a placid place of our own...?

The Wedding Party

What is bliss without the bride? With wedding Saturdays happening in this last month of 2009, December, I'm putting together a dreamy bridal special. Highlighting the wedding of Russian Model Sasha Pivovarova and her husband Igor Vishnyakov, reenact their "I Do" in a dreamy nuptial. Loving it!

# Alexa Takes Manhattan

There is an effortless 'I really didn't bother vibe' to everything Alexa wears and a laid-back, London street chic vibe infuses her entire wardrobe. Lucky girl! With this post, I'm officially expressing my love for the one-of-a-kind Brit girl...

Alexa Chung, who made her name in the entertainment industry through her jobs as a television host/presenter, actress and model, is originally from Privett, Hampshire where she was born to an English mother and Chinese father.

She came to New York to save MTV and became her generation’s smartest, coolest, and most-talked-about talk show host in the process. Now that’s a big build up.

Although America may have adopted our style icon temporarily, we’re pretty sure she’s still a London lass: “I don’t really have any friends in America…I just don’t tolerate douche bags,” she said. We’re glad to see she hasn’t changed.

And despite her shooting success over here and in the US, the TV presenter confesses she still gets nervous: “I’m worried my guests won’t like me,” admitted Alexa, who recently had a Mulberry bag named after her – fashion’s ultimate seal of approval, non?

Don’t worry Alexa –I love you.

So Juicy...

2009 is coming to an end. More and more ad campaigns are revealed towards the closing of this year, but none get any better than Juicy's "Do the Don't" campaign. Try and top those bunny ears Mr. Jacobs, maybe the adverts are over the top but that's why I love Juicy Couture!

Chloé Gets Its Mojo Back

Great news to every Chloé lovers all around the world -especially me! The hip and girly fashion label finally gets its mojo back!

The magic at Chloé quickly faded when Phoebe Philo exited, but I am finally excited about the label again. British designer Hannah MacGibbon, who assisted Philo while she was at Chloé, has definitely tapped back into the look Chloé fans want.


Think Kirsten Dunst, Sofia Coppola, Michelle Williams and anyone else who works the minimal makeup/muted colour palette/ballet pump look. I'm loving it!

Burberry Classic perfume.

It is a very fresh and crisp combination that is very inviting to the nose. It has a tender, but sweet, aroma that is as much warming as it is cool. This Burberry Perfume features honeysuckle, Clementine, top notes of rose, peony, lower and jasmine. It also has base notes of patchouli, sandalwood and musk.

The bottle that the Burberry fragrance comes in is very sophisticated. The bottle itself has a sample of the famous Burberry design placed around the main area of the bottle which leaves the top uncovered. The famous Burberry design is tartan in material that is cloth.

Burberry classic perfume has hints of sweetness that carry it into the truly classic collection that it was made to be. It is a fragrance that you can wear anywhere.

*New Moon

The phenomenal success of Stephenie Meyer’s teen-vampire book series has Hollywood salivating over what could be the biggest film franchise since Harry Potter.

Yes, apparently we’ve been bitten! By the Twilight bug, that is. VF.com went back to photographer Peggy Sirota and asked for nine more images from the shoot, at California’s Ventura Farms. Feast your eyes!
