My Little Projects

Fashion: Monsoon Season

Whilst looking for a new wedding outfit I came across Monsoons new autumn/ winter collection. The photography is lovely and the clothes are fantastic! See the next post for my favourite Monsoon dress of the moment!

Photography: Sean Ash for Miu Miu

The spring summer collection for Miu Miu is very shiny & glam... The campaign photographs were shot by Sean Ash and are really striking. On the Miu Miu website you can also find 'behind the scenes' images which are just as beautiful as the campaign shots...

Fashion: Getting Stitched

As a bridesmaid for two friends next year, I have just started helping them research their wedding dresses. One of the lovely brides sent me the link to a site of a dressmaker. Jenny Lessin creates bespoke made to measure dresses that are beautifully crafted and completely unique. Jenny Lessin's creations are so lovely that I may have to persuade my friend that maybe us bridesmaids deserve one of Jenny's creations too.

Fashion: Greg Kadel

Greg Kadel is a photographer based in New York. Greg has a wonderful portfolio of images for many top fashion magazines like vogue, harpers, I-D and face. I could have put so many of his photos on here, but narrowed it down to nine, hence the larger picture than normal. The dresses in his shoots are fabulous too!

Inspiration: Berry Hot Summer

I can't believe it's April and its over 20 already. We had our first BBQ this weekend. Summer really is on it's way! Here is a bit of fruity summer fashion & food...

Inspiration: Hippy Chic

I have often been called a 'champagne backpacker' and was really excited when I spotted these luxury Yurts in Conde Naste Magazine (Aug 04). There are also some gorgeous bohemian dresses in various designers collections this summer.
