LET’S PICNIC!

5 July 2013

My goodness, could it really be true and we are about to experience a small heatwave in the UK? I’ve excitedly checked numerous weather sites, painted my toe nails and bought some sunscreen. Roll on summer!

So, weather forecast is sorted, Andy Murray is in another Wimbledon semi-final today (yes I’m a fan and to prove it check out my Wimbledon fashion post) what better time to celebrate summer vibes with a picnic. Ok, most of you are probably on your way to work or sitting at your desk and the closest you’ll get to a picnic today is a quick half an hour lunch break with a stale sandwich, sitting on a hanky trying not to get your bottom too dirty on a small spec of greenery surrounded by half the world’s working population not to mention the busses, cars and fumes.

Even more reason to indulge in a bit of day dreaming with today’s picnic mood board. From large and styled outdoor get togethers with friends and family to beach barbecues and spontaneous ‘let’s cycle somewhere with wine, cheese and bread in a basket’ adventures. If you’re planning a picnic, this weekend is your chance! And if you live anywhere in northern Europe you know that these chances don’t come around that often. So, shake out your picnic rug, pack some delicious nibbles and indulge in a bit of adventure and treat yourself.

I truly believe that time spent outdoors is good for the soul – a win-win situation. Let’s hope that goes for Andy too!

CRAZY COLLAGES BY BARB BRUNO

4 July 2013

Oranges for eyes, bananas for hair, a slice of melon across the face and a dog with a huge ice-cream cone. Welcome to the crazy and slightly surreal world of Barb Bruno’s illustrations.
 
I saw one of her commissions in La Petit Magazine (USA) and immediately loved her style. She combines photography and illustration to create her collage art and stands out with her unique sense of humour. Her work is beautiful, imaginative and different, and I’m so keen to get a sneak preview of her next commission that I’m currently following her on Pinterest.
 
Oh, and by the way not only does she paint watercolours, draws, illustrates and photographs but she designs kid’s clothes too! What a multi-talent.
 
PS: Enjoy her illustrations for ‘hairy… a little story’ at the end of this post

WHISTLES – THE THINKING WOMAN’S FASHION BRAND

3 July 2013

Well, wouldn’t we all like to call ourselves the ‘thinking woman’!?

It’s a fitting description for the English fashion brand Whistles where Jane Shepherdson, former Brand Director at Topshop, has been the Chief Executive and figurehead since 2008.

On the website she describes the Whistles aesthetic as an effortless way of dressing, unique, easy and laid back, but also luxurious. When she thinks about the Whistles woman she references Sofia Coppola who is creative, intelligent, stylish, very understated and confident. In other words a ‘pretty cool woman’!

Jane loves fashion and the ever changing nature of it, the way that trends develop and grow and that nothing is certain. Fashion is the thing that gets her up in the morning – interpreting trends and creating something unique is what she loves to do.

Below are some images from the Spring/Summer 2013 lookbook and you can judge for yourself if Jane and her team have achieved what they set out to do: create pieces that stand up on their own and have a timeless quality.

I for one won’t argue with her.

VINTAGE 1950s SEASIDE SHACK IN NEW ZEALAND

1 July 2013

779685-1_lp

This modern and inspiring seaside shack belongs to stylist Anna Church and is nestled in the picturesque cove of New Zealand’s Waiheke Island.

Anna takes inspiration from her surrounds and has painted the hallway in a shade of turqouise echoing the colours of the sea. A girl after my own heart she says “I love to achieve a look on a budget,” and she customises roadside and beachcomb finds. “I like elegant, layered interiors, with a bit of quirk mixed in,” says Anna of the bedroom which has a tropical feel with an artwork by Waiheke artist Emma Wright. Anna says “it’s nautical, but not in an obvious way.
