LIU WEN by GREG KADEL for VOGUE

Liu Wen in “Wild Dreams” photographed by Greg Kadel and styled by Katie Mossman for Vogue Germany November 2010.

This multi textural shoot is pure amazing, apart from the fact that I just want all the key pieces for myself. The styling is crazy and in some ways wrong, yet it breaks rules and thats what I love about these set of photographs. Its fur and tassle extravagence, yet with sharp tailoring it gives the styling a subtle edge to stop any feelings of being overwhelmed by floaty and feather like fur. 

Eclectic Boudoir.

My bedroom is my favourite place on earth. It's where I keep my most treasured items, presents, gifts, things that hold memories and of course my beloved clothes and shoes. I often sit in my room for inspiration, as it is beaming with colour, sparkle, bright objects and beautiful patterns. I sometimes like to think I'm in Marrakech, with all the exotic jewel colours, golds and mirrors. 

All the things in my bedroom mean alot to me because they either hold a memory or i've took time and customised them myself, with beads, paints or just throwing a necklace across a mirror or a mannequin to make it unique to my personality and tastes.

I'd love a pure white room with no colour, but I think I would get bored easily, yes it would be tranquil, peaceful and relaxing, but with so much colour, vibrance and energy in the room, inspiration, new ideas and imagination is never far away!

BANGLES

Matthew Williamson and Scott Wilson. A collaboration out of this world. Evocative, luxurious and definitely provocative, as they have certainly left me pining.  Its strange how the bangles can grace the utmost delicate arms of a fragile runway  model yet still look fantastic, they look like they belong there. Of course, in the eyes of Matthew Williamson, the collection has to have lustre and shine, which fits in with the mesmerizing shimmering spheres.

RIVER ISLAND:THIS WINTER

River Island AW11 definitely has it for me this winter. It feels like the prints that I have adored this summer have been implemented into key winter pieces (Chunky knits, Ponchos, Leggings), and I cannot wait to rock them up with suede, leathers and wool. I already have the Parka coat too! One thing I am not too sure about is the straight legged jeans, I dont think I'm going to be able to give up my Topshop Leigh ultra skinnies just yet!
