MK + ASHLEY

Always cursed for their devilish wayward ways, the Olsen twins have had their fair share of criticism to overcome. The latest surrounds MK's decision to date 43-year-old Olivier Sarkozy. I say who cares... these girls may not have the most exemplary track record in obedience but their style has never faltered. I adore these girls x

Such a rare bird

Iris Apfel, style icon, interior design god, the women that defines 80 as the new 20. You are never to old to strut your stuff, dress up to the nines, Iris is the epitomy of this ideal. As she so famously said..."You only have one trip you might as well enjoy it”. So much love for her at the moment, especially with her new collaboration with M∙A∙C Cosmetics. Inspired by a rare bird who has always been ahead of her time, M∙A∙C presents a colour collection featuring Lipsticks, Beauty Powder and Eye Shadows with as much flair and joie de vivre as the woman who helped create it...Iris Apfel.

V.E

I just stumbled across an incredible blog, V.E was just featured on the Solestruck blog and I have just fallen in love with this girl. As I am soon to leave for America to live for 8 months, I chose this photoshoot of hers to post! But definitely jump onto her blog to find some serious inspiration! xx
When something devastating happens it is so easy to let it defeat us, to wallow in our own self pity. By all means react, be emotive, ball, cry, yell, give devil eyes... whatever is appropriate... I know I sure do. In saying that it is so important to make self pity short lived. Instead, go back to what you know you are good at, where your gifts lie, get swept away by your hopes and dreams because no one has a right to tell you they aren't possible. I hope you like these bright, happy pics. Peace out xx

A HANDSOME PROJECT

Whipped cream flying, the best swimwear in town, greesy sloppy pizza tantalising our taste buds and big nurf guns locking and loading, oh it was a playful affair! We Are Handsome's The Romantic Collection was used to style the photo's for A Handsome Project. We wanted to capture a girl, running amok in a big french house, in the middle of the night, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Using vintage furs, sequins and colourful leather jackets that began as creative experiments, we wanted to portray an edgy, more hardcore juxtaposition against the beautiful timeless backdrop. The shots turned our perfect, a little crude, a little out-there, something that will be sure to get a reaction out of people. The Brilliant photography was done by Daniel Le Breton if you have a moment be sure to check our the rest of his talented works. As for the Model, Lola Van Vorst is damn fine. She has the camera eating out of the palm of her hand! Have a sneaky cheeky look at her blog lovelola, as well as her portfolio on The Agency Models Website. Be sure to check our the rest of the works of A Handsome Project on their Blog but for the moment have a peruse of our photoshoot. Much love xxx D

Pasteltastic

Is it just me or does the recent race to the hairdresser's to go pastel crazy resemble something not to dissimilar to a troll dolls hair do? Who would have thought that this iconic 90's childhood novelty toy that I spent hours playing with was strutting a hairstyle I would just die for many years later! Just waiting for my courage.... but soon I would love to add a colour out of the rainbow to my already balayaged hair!
