London Fashion Weekend

This weekend was an exciting one to say the least. We have so many exciting projects coming up that we are almost bursting at the seams. So besides lots of productive meetings we found a few hours on Saturday to pop down to London Fashion Weekend which showcased over 150 of the world's best brands. With irresistible shopping at exclusive prices it really was the ultimate shopping experience.  After a couple of glasses of champagne and a little squeeze of the wallet we took the opportunity to snap some photos outside the venue (Saatchi gallery.) Tell us which look you prefer? What's on top of your autumn/winter shopping list?

Miscellaneous Magic

I've been flicking through a random selection of shots taken over the past few months and utterly shocked at how quickly time flies! It feels like yesterday I was on a plane to Turkey or running around at Glastonbury in the 28 degree heat, yet here i am in the midst of September tucked in bed whilst the rain patters on my window pane not quite sure about what to make of time. It's suddenly hit me that time flashes before our eyes and before we know it we'll all be unknown to mankind...morbid huh? SO on that note guys i'm off to enjoy my life and eat CAKE..... until next time!

I fell in love at the sea side...

For the hottest day in August luckily we had booked a weekend down to the good old British seaside, Eastbourne. A cute little town down south where our grandparents live. It was so hot we even managed to take a dip in the sea.... but in great British fashion, the weather didn't hold out and it started raining the next day *weep* Take a glimse of the last piece of sunny weather we managed to savour.Well...it was good while it lasted!

Festival Lovin'
P1060496-e1437324398539.jpg

The thing I look forward to most about British summer is the festivals! I really don't think there are any quite like them (perhaps I haven't explored enough.) But nevertheless, I do love a good festi even if it means trugging through thick, slodgy mud in your wellies to locate your fave band playing in some hidden woods. I've had my fair share of them this Summer too... Glastonbury, SGP, Found and this little one... called Blissfields.

More of a family affair and for teenagers, this small and fairly untouched festival is located in Winchester. We spent the afternoon frolicking around taking snaps (and changing outfits whilst doing so), savouring our slices of watermelon and listening to some good old bands. Our fave: Glass Animals!

Fields of Gold & Emerald Envy

Sunday was such a beautifully sunny day! It actually felt like a proper mediterranean summer! We teamed up with the very talented creative photographer Joshua Bradwell and went to Scadbury park for a 'mosey' around. It's such a beautiful park right near our house which we'd never discovered before. Beautiful fields of bright yellow flowers and acres of green land. A perfect picnic spot and a super fun day out :)! This shoot was quite different from our other shoots in so much that the photos are of much higher quality and have a more artistic feel as Josh is most comfortable shooting landscapes and unmoving & unmovable objects, as he puts it!  Check out his website as he is an extremely talented photographer www.joshuabradwell.com  and we will definately be shooting with him again!

Think sun, rooftops, urban, city, London, retro, BBqs, drinks!! #WatchThisSpace

You may have noticed a similar pattern here...  but black and white have always been our go-to colours. A monochrome palette is classic, simple and can be worn for any kind of occasion! Pair a black two-piece with some simple trainers for that casual, chic look or a white airy blouse with a midi skirt. Don't be afraid of wearing too much of the same colour. We always say keep it simple!
