here comes the sun

Sometimes life throws so many things your way, you don't have time for them all. Having moved house and passed a driving test I don't think I could have fitted much more in. Moving into the house that my boyfriend and I now "own" is lovely. We can begin to decorate how we've always wanted. It's been near impossible at the moment, we have such a blank canvas and so many little things that need doing, we don't know where to start. This is also when you realise that you like everything, some days bright poppy colours, other days muted neutrals. The biggest challenge which has been said before by Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere blog wonderfulness, is finding that balance between masculine and feminine tastes.

So for now I will leave some pictures that have inspired my current colour clash obsession. (these photos are not mine, if on the off chance they are yours please e-mail me and I will instantly credit you).

Only the brave

My old new favourite things are:

1) Feather earrings from Urban outfitters (only one at a time though).
2) My boyfriend's Harley Davidson T-shirt, that I wear with everything.
3) The fishtail plait, after months of only lusting over wang plaits I finally looked up a tutorial.

Lookbook shizzness

Teenage Engineering

Every now and then a song pops up that I can't stop listening to. Swedish House Mafia-One takes that accolade, as one friend pointed out, how is it that everything Pharrell touches turns to gold?



The story goes that David Guetta actually stole this beat from them, hence the reference to the F*^& me I'm famous tattoo at 3:10...apparently they both stole the beat from Ryu. Whoever did what, the video is prety dark and I love it!! Anyone for violet mascara?

On further research the cool bit of equipment they have in the video is Teenage Egineering's OP-1. If that thing can make that track then I want one (although SHM admit that it wasn't used to make their track)...marketing at it's very best.

Tsunami

The bfs bday was this weekend, to celebrate we went to our favourite Clapham restaurant Tsunami, it's perfect for a date as it's all about sharing. We go for the cocktails if anything, which are all orientally influenced. From there it was onto firefly, gigalum and be at one. Sore heads all round today.

The main reason of my post of course, was to show you my nails..which were done by WAH nails in the basement of Tophsop on Oxford Circus. They literally do anything you can think of. Check out their blog here.

As summer seems to be drastically coming to an abrupt end, I'm trying to get the most out of my dresses, the silk grey dress is from Miss Selfridge, love ring from accesorize, bag is from aldo, shoes are dune and the cute feather earring is one of a pair from urban outfitters....last but not least the toywatch which I wear with everything.

OH MY GOD

Check these out..

Total amazeballs

The Christmas Party 2010

Last Thursday was the christmas party, finally!!!! The theme was 20's so there was plenty of bugsy malone, prohibition references. Our company always get someone good to play at the party, in recent years we've had Blondie and The Sugababes, this year was a little more bizarre.
First we had a burlesque dancer Immodesty Blaize, followed by Bryan Ferry, followed by Sash, (the DJ who did Encore en Fois and Ecuador). I told you it was a strange mix.
I invited an old school friend, I wore a long grey dress from ASOS, feather bag from ASOS, hairband from Oasis, pearls on my wrist from H&M, neckalce was a gift but I think it was from John Lewis. My friend wore a dress from French Connection, fur shrug from Accesorize. So without further ado, enjoy the photos.
