Ruby Frost


Incredibly talented Ruby Frost released her Moonlight EP only a few days ago and it has already reached number 4 on the iTunes albums chart. Catchy and poppy with a Bjork-esque indie edge, you definitely want to get your hands on one of these babies!

sugar and spice and all things nice

Welcome to Candyland!

This shoot is so sugary sweet I can almost taste it.

Styled by Lucinda Chambers, these beautiful images make me feel like I've just walked into a candy-coated dream.

Enjoy!






i love rock 'n' roll













 
Prints, studs, denim and leather, it's all very rock 'n' roll! Such a funky and fun style, and one you can easily put together by mixing statement and classic pieces.

Can you feel it? It's burlesque

Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, is beautiful and captivating. Christina's acting debut as small-town-gone-big-city girl Allie is charming, and her powerful voice seems to belong in the Burlesque Lounge. There are some catchy songs in Burlesque, and I have to say the dancing is a-ma-zing. I found myself constantly asking "how do they do that?!" as the dancers strutted their stuff on the stage. There is no question about it, these girls are very talented at their art form. 

What I loved the most, though, was the costuming and makeup. Glitter, feathers and corsets. Striking colours, red lips and massive lashes. Sequins, pearls and diamonds. Classic 1930s/1940s inspired looks and the utterly over the top. It's all in a nights work for a Burlesque dancer.

free spirit








This shoot may be old (GQ Magazine UK, September 2009) but it's so beautiful I couldn't resist sharing it! The free-spirited gyspy feel is fun and carefree, not to mention Sienna Miller is stunning (as usual!)

oh the joy of summer




 





While some nations are currently in the heart of their winter, we in NZ are lucky enough to be experiencing the beautiful season of summer! I know I keep going on about it but lets be honest, talking about summer can put a smile on anyone's dial! I hope these summer-inspired images have filled your heart with sunny joy like they have done mine.

Coveted style: Leighton Meester

Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf is hands down my favourite television character. I'm sure I'm not alone in loving Queen B for her crazy revenge plans, her love affair which Chuck Bass and her freakin' incredible wardrobe.

The actress behind Miss Waldorf, Leighton Meester, has a very different style to that of her TV counterpart, but it is one I can't help but love.
