It's......

We all know what day it is... so I'm not going to say it.

Just bring it... give it... do it... live it.

Enough said.
















Oh and if you can't do any of that... just have a dance.

Bugs, Butterflies & A Summer Lost

I know the pain in your inner core that comes from a shitty summer. Having grown up in Oz, I was always told we are spoilt when it comes to the sun. It was only when I moved to the UK did I really realise that a brilliant summer did not always follow a long winter. In fact in the 8 years I was there, I think I only had one proper summer (and by proper, I mean mostly sun... cos temperature is irrelevant at this point.)

Oh there was always talk of an Indian summer ( Mork, I'm thinking you here) and you always got excited that the good weather was starting if you had sun for more than 2 days in a row... but the reality is, there is a lot of grey in a UK Summer.

When I stumbled across these adorable images on I-D Online all this residual anxiety around an average summer surfaced... closely followed by a wave of empathy. These images are basically what you have to do in your mind when the sun has let you down. You just take the grey that is around you and superimpose as much colour and summer as you possibility can....

Awww, to be honest living in London was so amaze I actually found the grey charming..... well, most of the time anyway.

Is It Time For A Change?

I don't want to shock you all but maybe a hair colour change is on the cards. Eeeeeeeek, I know!!! 

After a misspent youth of chip-chop-changing to every colour under the sun,  I have had black hair for years and years now. I'm getting itchy feet and think I need a change. I want to go for an orangey tone... something like these deliciously, perfect locks from the latest Schön Magazine

I think I'm in love with the drama.... and I sooooo wanna, so should I?

Have no idea if I am brave enough for a such a dramatic colour change any more..... I hope I am, cos it's kind of exciting just thinking about it.

Leather Cover Up

There are some fashion combos that you can't help but love. They look so cool in magazines and for a moment, you think.... I'm so going to rock that look one day. Sadly, in the cold light of day reality wins and usually for logistical reasons this desired 'look' is never going to happen. SAD FACE.

A perfect example is the bikini/ leather jacket combination. It looks so hot on the printed page but no one is ever going wear leathers on a 35 degree beach day or bikini bottoms to the pub... much as we all want to. Unfortunately, it's reserve for the moments at home when you pretend that your French and in some sort of indie movie....

BUT, let's live the dream a little and take a look at these killer images From T Style Travel Summer 2013. Tell me you don't want to rock every look? It's such a perfect contrast of leather and skin and so, so sexy.

Hypnotic Take Over

If Monday is anything.... it's goofy giff day.

So ignore the grey clouds, nagging bosses and boring day time telly... just let the hypnotic giff magic take over.




My brain hurts... but totally in a good way.

There Is Stuff Going On Up There

Your head is definitely where all the interesting things happen. Mine is scatty some of the time, sharp when it counts and despite trying to focus....constantly dreaming.

It's interesting to see that lately there has been this trend towards elaborate head wear. I like to think its some sort of visual representation of what's happening in your noodle or a result of a brilliant tail-spin, tangent the world flew into... brought on by the flesh coloured, Nutrigrain shaped hat Princess Beatrice wore to Will and Kate's nuptials. Either way, this latest editorial in V Magazine #83 shows of some off the killer head wear of late.

Nothing like a bit of drama on your head to get a whole lot of attention.

I want to see some of these 'hats' at the races... If I see one more boring fascinator, my eyes will instantly combust!
