pure perfection...

These images of perfect summer hair are from July's VS magazines Solange shoot by Daniel Gurton.

Absolute gorgeousness and causing major hair-envy.

scrumtiousness...

Ok so crap summer weather equals me feeling very depressed. So I've been on a bit of a baking spree- there are currently five tupperwares of baked scruminess in the kitchen. Here are some of the things I've made this week-  barabrif loaf, chocolate and ginger cookies and lemon cupcakes.

summertime and the living is easy...

(Top asos, jeans uniqlo, converse, sunglasses asos, necklace mix from holidays & vintage)

This was a while ago, just when I'd got back from uni and before it started chucking it down...grr! Will the rain ever end? Walking the dog on a gorgeous summers day and took some snaps et voila...

the second wedding of the year...

Two fashion history weddings in one year, we have been spoilt.

Another Kate but a very different one, just as happy a wedding and just as big a fashion story!

On Friday 1st July Kate married her rocker beau Jamie Hince wearing a John Galliano

bias  cut gown with gold beading while he wore YSL by Stefano Pilati double breasted suit

with the obligatory skinny trousers. Rock'n'Roll heaven, after the ceremony they posed for

the paparazzi outside the church looking like the happiest people in the world.

Her dress itself was beautiful and so very Kate, simple and flattering with a vintage feel

it was true to her style and with the veil (Lily Allen take note this is how a veil should be worn

not an earmuff in sight) trailing behind. Hair and make up was simple and understated.

The bridesmaids dresses, there were ALOT, were cute and the floral garlands

the perfect touch.

I really cant fault it, and can only hope she inspires lots of people to have equally simple

yet stunning weddings, as much as I loved the royal wedding it was a military operation

with everything planned to the last detail this in comparison felt organic and relaxed.

Although both couples could not have looked any happier and thats the key.

After all the scandals, the boyfriends and the cult fashion following its lovely to see 

Miss Moss/Mrs Hince settle down and tie the knot. 

fresh meat...

Ok so after a month of uni/work free life- which has revolved around the

sofa/sunlounger with TV/book... exciting I know.

Anyway now that I've recovered from THREE DEADLINES ON ONE DAY(!!) 

I've been paying more attention to models, don't ask my why before I thought they were

an integral yet interchangeable part of the fashion industry but now after seeing the

gazillionth cover with Kate Moss I want to see NEW FACES!

So here are some of my current faves...

Bambi (real name Stephanie) Northwood Blyth

Harpers Bazaar Spain May 2011

These are the first images I saw of her (here) and needless to say she stuck out...

those eyebrows are incredible! Added to the name and the face makes her

memorable.

Originally from Australia, a tattoo of Bambi on her wrist and the biggest eyebrows since

Charlie from Busted. She's done campaigns for Pepe Jeans and CK One, walked for

Chanel, Emanuel Ungaro and Loewe, had 3 Harpers covers and done shoots for Vogue,

LOVE, i-D and V magazine.

Most recently I've seen her on the cover of another Harpers- this time June July 2011.

The styling is so simple which means the focus is really all about her and the photography,

roll on a Calvin Klein contract!

Arizona Muse

Vogue might not chose generic choices for their covers but in their July 2011

issue there was Arizona, gorgeous and everywhere this season.

Another memorable name... and face.

Campaigns for Prada and Yves Saint Laurent, editorials for numerous Vogues,

 LOVE, Dazed & Confused, W, Numero and V magazine. AND she's walked for Tom Ford, 

Chanel, Valentino, Miu Miu, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, John Galliano, Dior, YSL,

Prada and Balenciaga... phew I'm tired just typing all of those.

Anyway if you haven't seen her where have you been! She's everywhere and

well worth a look for (check out her profile here), stunning editorials for the best in the

industry something not to be missed.

Polaroid

Her S/S 201 campaigns for Prada and YSL

Below is an editorial she did for Stern Magazine May 2011 shot by Peter Lindbergh

Saskia de Brauw

French Vogue March 2011

Polaroid Summer 2010

A while back I posted Coeur a Corps Perdu editorial from Vogue Paris which featured Saskia.

I loved the editorial and she was stunning in it. I saw her again on Grazias website (here)

and found out she was 29, a muse for Donatella (thanks to the Vogue editorial which was

Carine Roitfeld's last issue), walked for Chanel's 2012 Resort collection and has 

campaigns for Givenchy and Versace.

Ok I have insomnia hence the 5AM(!!) post... one of the joys of uni life!

Anyways these are the edited versions of the photoshoot-

I tried to make it darker and the colours more vivid... enjoy :)

photosoot part one...

For uni we had to do a group photoshoot for the brand Bedford Street Laundry to

launch them into the UK.

These are some of my favourites pictures we took- wondering around

Nottingham looking for location we found this incredible rooftop

which is perfect for our brand.

I'll post the edited final images soon :)
