Tata Naka:



I love Tata Naka's brand website. (I first caught a glimpse of their live modelling on the backlash of the business of London Fashion Week). It is set in the style of a magazine, and as you would see a contents page, the website contents page shows the different sectors of the website. I think it's such a cool way of presenting the way a brand works and all aspects of what the brand wants you to see. 
Not only that but the graphics are bold, attention seeking yet simplistic with a quirky edge. The front cover also makes a statement; the monochrome styling of the models contrasting gowns against the colourful printed logo looks startling and shouts for your eyes to look at every aspect of it. I know one thing though, I am definately going to keep track of this brand from now on.

FRESH SHIT.










Bought some new 'swag' (in other words, new clothes) the other day so thought I would share a few images with you seeing as it's what I do, (sometimes). I've started to implement abit of AW11 into my flurry of beautiful bright SS11 wardrobe. Therefore I have gone for, Burberry Studs, and a spark of glitter and shine, as favoured by Michael Van Der Ham. 

My new Place of Work.

The accessories launch! 


This September saw the brand new birth of Kurt Geiger accessories. It also saw my new place of employment, and lucky for me I got to see some of the new accsessories first hand, and I can honestly say it will not be healthy for my bank balance. 
Here's my top 10 choices that I cannot wait to get into my wardrobe!

The bag I crave.

I've spotted both of these delicious bags just recently and my Gosh they should be sat in my tiny walk in wardrobe right this minute. (Metallic: New York based designer Emily Cho, Snake Print: Zara). I was reading Topshop blog when I saw the delightful exotic silvery embossed clutch and found that it is also hand cut and hand made in Florence using the finest of leathers...all I can say is maybe the Zara bag is more within my reach at this moment in time. Dreams.

Trendboard: THERUNWAY

A cool way to display trends and catwalk reports in my sketchbook.

Artur Wesolowski




 I first spotted Wesolowski's beautifully talented photographs on Trendland, and ever since I am amazed by his work. I think its the juxtapositioning between model, styling and location. The styling has no boundaries and is yet still very tasteful, leaving alot to the imagination, if you are viewing it in a sensual and seductive approach. The camera angles also are exquisite, I love how the model is either cropped, looked down at or up at, or not in the centre of the photograph. This technique I love because everytime you look at the image you see it in a different way; a different viewpoint, keeping the viewer continuously intrigued and entertained.
