It's always exciting collaborating with new and budding photographers, especially when they’re not from the UK and instead from Sunny side, California!
We hooked up with the super cool and uber talented Max Rainoldi for an afternoon of wondering around London Bridge, stopping off at coffee shops, pubs, passing by the Thames, the Tate and freezing our little tootsies off!
Here are the shots:
When winter is coming and the weather's getting cold,
the last sun rays are beaming, our photoshoot unfolds...
Where in London do we shoot? A place that's classy and super cute,
colourful houses to kill those blues,
Perfect! Off we head to Notting Hill Mews.
Our photographer, Meeks, a real cool guy,
shoots us in our jackets from Superdry.
Zara boots and of course our culottes,
We know he's nailed some real good shots!
The breeze picks up, the chilly wind blows,
Sunnies on, strike a pose,
As our shoot draws to an end.
We're all in black, our favourite trend.
The sun goes down, it all goes still,
What a day, in Notting Hill!

We recently collaborated with PUMA, one of our favourite brands to date, so naturally we were super excited when they asked us to style out our favourite Puma looks for their new Forever Faster campaign – a global, multimedia marketing initiative for the brand’s new platform, as part of their mission to become the world’s fastest sport brand.
In the last couple of years the brand has made a solid mark in the women's fashion sphere, so we couldn't wait to work with them on their new Basket Jewel trainers, which almost sold out in 2 days when it hit UK stores.
The Puma Basket Jewel is guaranteed to elevate your style for every occasion. The silhouette can be perfectly teamed with a variety of wardrobes from casual street styling to a more sophisticated look. With two separate colorways, the styling possibilities are endless.
We spent most of the the day hanging from steep heights in and around London, capturing the shoes in their full glittering glory! The images were shot by the very talented Mollie Rose.
We had loads of fun and can't wait to collaborate with PUMA on more exiting projects to come. If you like the Basket Jewel, you can purchase them here: http://bit.ly/2f41oiO
On Thursday morning, Loanne and I flew over to Berlin to be one of the first to experience the MOXY Berlin, the brand’s new flagship hotel in the heart of the city’s cultural epicentre, Ostbahnhof.
You all probably know that we love a good ol’ party so not only were we extremely excited but also rather intrigued when we heard the launch party would be nothing less than an all-night party with scandalous dance performances, drag spectacles and a Berlin rave-ready makeover! (Sounds pretty epic, right?)
Upon arrival to the Moxy we were greeted by friendly staff whilst also becoming familiar with the Do-It-Yourself nature of the hotel which saw Loanne and I helping ourselves to the delectable choice of muffins, pastries and of course a cheeky cocktail. A big tick in our box already!
The contemporary interior of the hotel along with the young looking guests gave off a modern, fun and vibrant feel to the place. Though technically a budget hotel, it felt more like a boutique hotel with its slick interior, comfortable & cozy bedrooms and 24 hour food & drink service.
As it was a very quick 24 hour stop-over in Berlin we managed to squeeze in a couple of landmark visits during the day, one to the Holocaust Memorial & also to the Berlin wall - A cultural must & also a very touching experience.
As the evening approached we headed back to the Moxy to get ready for the party, the hotel had prepared our rooms with champagne and chocolates to get us in the mood for the night. Along with seductive, lace masks that were to be worn on the evening. (What have we got ourselves in for?)
The night was a true blast (So much so that we didn’t take any photos, unless you were one of the lucky few to witness our Instagram stories ;))
The 300 odd party guests were a true reflection of the brand; fun, cool & stylish- tapping directly into the millennial cultural movement. As the party started and the DJ hit the decks, we helped ourselves to cocktails & canapes. The entertainment continued upstairs in different rooms, each room offering a very different experience, in one room was one of Berlin's best tattoo artists giving free tattoos (we didn't get one unfortunately, kicking ourselves now!) and in the other rooms were bondage & scandalous naked women and teddy bears. It was definitely something we hadn't experienced before. Frivolous & hilarious at the same time. The night continued at the official afterparty in Berlin's famous gay club "Schuwz" where the amazing music continued and we partied until early hours of the morning.
What a night and an amazing 24 hours in Berlin. A massive thanks to Moxy Hotels who provided a party like never before!
It goes without question that an absolute essential for London Fashion Week is making sure you can get around with ease between shows, events and presentations. Making sure those little tootsies are as far away from any blisters as possible and that if you’re like us (running around like headless chickens), your shoes aren't the ones that are holding you back! It's safe to say, our converses were our life saviours here.
We paired up our absolute fave Chuck Tailors and One Stars during fashion week, to add that cool and causal look to our outfits as well as getting us from one place to the other, hassle free! And we weren’t the only ones either, it seemed plenty of fashionistas, bloggers and general fashion week goers were pairing up their converses with the hottest trends this Autumn.
Converses have remained a style staple for as long as we can remember and the variety of colours and styles you can get now, paired with their ultimate comfortability have made them our top choice to combine with any type of outfit. You'll catch us wearing ours on pretty much all types of occasion; exercising, shopping, Djing, partying, shooting, you name it!
When the sun is still beaming, your friends a photographer, he works on a rooftop in central London AND you've just been sent some pretty cool Tommy Hilfiger gear, a photo shoot is an utmost necessity!
A huge shout out to the amazing Jimmi Herrtage for these shots and for a dreamy afternoon frolicking in the sun and climbing scaffolding that could easily of ended up in a hospital trip....or two!
Hope you like them! x
