Carine Roitfeld shot by Terry Richardson Welcome to heaven. Eye masks are few and far between which means that fab ones are a true rarity. After solid testing, Sodashi’s Eye Mask makes ageing around the eye area not so daunting after all. Filled with macadamia oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil along with [...]

I recently did a test with a super girl team: photographer Zanita, stylist Kat Wotton and model Vanessa Breuer from Chic. It was AMAZING. We worked insanely well as a team, shooting plenty of outfits and having so much fun. The picture above is by far one of my favourite images I’ve shot. I adore [...]
This is pretty much how I remember the ages of 18 to 22 to be (minus the shoulders and expensive totes). An explosion of colour, flats, high ponytails and circles of black eyeliner. Oh! Hanne Gaby and Abbey Lee Kershaw shot by Steven Meisel for the Mulberry Fall 2010 Campaign.
My latest eye obsession is up at A New Muse. Time to play! xxo
Dree Hemingway, what a charm! The great-granddaugther of Ernest Hemingway and blessed with an athletic body, strong jawline and lush locks, she’s definitely got a lot going for her. Shot by Sean Thomas and styled by Dree herself, the following i-D shoot is accessible, fun and flawless. Her simple makeup and natural flowing locks are [...]
Move over middle part, you’re last year’s baby. All over the Spring/Summer 2010 and Fall 2010 Ready To Wear catwalks was the deep side part. Parted over one eye and wispily falling over the other, it’s easily wearable and super sexy. Blaise Reutersward shot Marloes Horst for the cover of Vogue Nippon (April 2010) wearing [...]
I’m absolutely blown away by photographer Craig McDean’s latest editorial in W. It’s a hypnotic story of two girls aimlessly meandering through the night. The smokey atmosphere and glazed expressions isolate the girls which funnily draws the viewer into their world. However, I’m pretty sure it’s not only The Virgin Suicide’s vibe that makes it [...]

Besides seeing lots of gigs this summer, I also found myself in the cinema quite a few times. Fantastic Mr. Fox (10/10), Bright Star (another 10/10), Once Upon A Time In The West (Who knows!? I fell asleep…) and more. One of my most anticipated films ever (besides the whole filmography of Wes Anderson), is [...]
Now, after the crazy creativeness that was the last post, here are the best looks of the first few days that are definitely ready-to-wear. Starting with the ever popular rock chic look, dark smokey eyes were sported at Nina Ricci and Lanvin. Nina Ricci’s girl was quite angelic but with a darker side. Beautifully glowing [...]
I started learning Italian at university because of three men. The first was John the Baptist by Caravaggio: John the Baptist by Caravaggio, 1604. (Pic from Wiki) After discovering this artwork I became fanatical about baroque art. All of the drama, rich colours and intense lighting pulled me in. The other two gentlemen were Domenico [...]

Oh my my! I’ve had such a busy week! I can’t believe I missed the end of London Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week (although it was only four days long this time around so that’s not too bad). On the plus side, I will have some beautiful new photos for my portfolio soon so [...]

Day 3′s looks were either really fresh or quite dramatic, but definitely not in an overdone way. As the outfits were all bright and colourblocked at Lacoste (above), the makeup was exceedingly minimal. A clean face with moisturiser, a dab of concealer under the eyes (and on spots if necessary) and a row of black [...]

I love colour! And it turns out that the majority of designers on Day 1 do too! The looks for the Spring were either dewy skin and not much else, or little pops of colour. At Rosa Cha, cute outfits were accessorised with either orange, black & white, and yellow headscarves, as seen above. I [...]

So I’m growing out my fringe. For most of winter I had a Bettie Page-esque short fringe so I played a lot with my brows and bold lips. (Pic of Bettie from Wiki) But after trimming my fringe every week (my hair grows really fast), I’m a bit over it. It’s perfect timing though, I’ve [...]
