Power

To say that Power is evident in many forms it state the obvious, but the following images taken from this selection of 52 images of women through the years who have defied expectations and societal norms to fight for, engage in, and advance the things that are important to them is really just that - Powerful. Oh and some are just plain, badass.

VSCO to follow


Recently I fell off the whole social media wagon, I spent next to no time on instagram, Pinterest and we won't even talk about my Twitter abandonmnent... I was of course, still active, busy and creating, but I had gotten caught up in the rush of life and didn't take time to capture, edit and share. Recently I've been back and active a little bit, and have been reminded of how many incredible photographers there are out there. VSCO has definitely been the app/site that has always been the most inspiring for me, so every once in a while I'll share some photos from VSCO feeds that I've started following.

Just a heads up for those who don't know, VSCO (Visual Supply Co) is an art and technology company building an ecosystem of digital tools, services and community for modern creatives. They are "unabashedly by “creatives, for creatives,” dedicated to those that make, build and create with reckless abandon". Honestly, check it out.

But with no further ado, here's to the first of the VSCO to follow series, Japan based photographer Hideaki Hamada check out his beautiful website as well here

Summer with Rose & Rina


These new Rose & Rina necklaces (NEREID//IONA//CARYS and HERA) were inspired by my recent trip to Corfu. The beautiful blue-green tones of the Ionian Sea and the rich mythological history of the island had me brimming with ideas when I got home.
The necklaces proved to be a hit at our recent stall at Camden Market. They are all sold out except for one! So I'll be making some more with a few interesting twists.... I'll keep you posted.

Bold bright tones against neutral walls and floors or pops of colour on muted dark backgrounds make these homes lively but livable.

Music: Elli Ingram


Browsing through one of my favourite blogs Simply Cyn, I came across the excellent Elli Ingram. To be honest, my attention was caught by the super styling on the cover of her upcoming album Sober, but watching her YouTube videos, I'm sold. I won't make any of the usual musical 'the next Adele/AmyWinehouse etc etc' comparisons, but will let this Brighton girl's voice speak for itself. Check out her Poetic Justice cover below.....

Stella Jean 2013-2014

I had to share some looks from Haitian-Italian model-turned designer, Stella Jean's Spring 2013/Fall-Winter 2014 collections. It goes without saying that I LOVE her use of wax printed fabrics, but the styling, shapes, colour combinations and textures are what really blow me away. Style Crush.

Ruski Ruskital

The ordinary meets the sublime in photographer Stefan Giftthaler's editorial for Qvest magazine.
Gold wrist cuffs, pom poms, leather and silk scarves meet hay, manure and baby farm animals. The strong Russian influence and whimsical feel reminds me of the work of Ulyana Sergeenko and brings a modern flair to old Russia.
