Giuseppe's Sculptures

Giuseppe Zanotti shares sculptured booties in his A/W 12 collection. They will range between £400 to £2000. If you have cash to splash I'd recommend you get a pair as it'd make a great addition to your shoe rack! Especially the ones with the golden spikes, very Lady Gaga-esque. x x

Isabeli Fontana x H&M Beach Sensation

Ooh La La! The Brazilian beauty, Isabeli Fontana sizzles in the campaign for H&M's collection 'Beach Sensation'. The swimsuit collection consists of one piece and two piece bathing suits in the season's trends of floral, abstract prints and bright colour blocking. I love the cut-out one piece in the photo above. Isn't she too tanned though? I think they got too carried away with the bronzer .. x x

The Beautiful & The Damned

I was going through photos from last year in the process of trying to move them onto my backup drive and delete from my laptop (my drive is very close to reaching max storage capacity). Anyway, I came across these snapshots from stylestalker's a/w 11 lookbook, and couldn't help but want to share. Their monochrome wardrobe palette screams androgyny with hints of sexiness, enhancing the dark and enigmatic theme of the photoshoot...x x

the snapshot: sharp edges

Daphne Groeneveld in an issue of Vogue Italia creating a sense of utopia. I like the 'Black Swan' inspiration behind this photograph and the use of striking metal jewellery.. x x

The Regime...

Morning.Beauty.Ritual

1. Vitamin E Hydrating Toner from Body Shop: I dab some on a cotton pad and swipe my face with it

2. Clinique, All about the eyes Eye Cream: I like using it in the morning as well as at night before going to bed, just to ensure there are absolutely no signs of puffiness or hints of bags

3. Dior, Hydra Life Serum: This thin milk-lotion feels light on your skin and keeps it moisturized all day

4. MAC Prep+Prime: I wait it out for fifteen to twenty minutes after applying the serum until its completely dry to put on this skin base. I tend to dab only a tiny amount since I only wear light make-up during the day and its enough to make it stay on.

Yesterday

James Perse t-shirt, Topshop trousers & shoes, H&M belt, Gucci sunglasses

Finally back in London after a month of traveling back home and America. For now I'm indefinitely here all summer working on Ava Mirabelle's Summer Cruise 2012 collection which is out in two weeks. I'm super excited and can't wait to share it with everyone.

One of my favourite colour's from this summer's trend of brights is orange. I paired these high-waisted tapered trousers with a pale gray James Perse t-shirt and a bright neon skinny belt to highlight my waist. Folding them from the bottom gave them a bit of a informal edge. I adore these contrasting gray and coral pink Topshop heels that I convinced myself to wear them here even though there was too much colour going on for my liking...
