Get Started: tips on starting a blog, from the right technology to fighting fear

This month marks the seventh anniversary of FFG's existence. I like to think of it as lucky seven, really, as each and every day that I get to call this crazy world of mine a "job" is another day where I'm feeling pretty lucky indeed. But, as I've said before, and I'll say again and again, it's not all been smooth sailing. There have been ups and downs, crazy times and hard times. But there's a bigger story here and it's about getting started and keeping the momentum. To tell the story, and to hopefully provide some inspiration to those of you that are sitting here thinking, "how can I move forward in starting a blog or a social entity," I've teamed up with Currys PC World to share my "get started" adventure. In truth, this is a collaboration that is near and dear to my heart as I believe...

The Flamingo clutch you need in your life right now!

I feel as if this is sort of a public service announcement for those of you that are crazy about flamingos. It should be said, I am a part of that particular population. Flamingos are most definitely the hottest bird in fashion. Maybe it's the long supermodel like legs or the bright pink feathers that have us all head over heels for these lovelies. Who knows, but the trend has no end in sight. The latest must have for flamingo fashion collectors come courtesy of a British legend - John Lewis. Yes, this flamingo clutch is a John Lewis original and it's coming to the table with a very reasonable price tag. Get thee to John Lewis immediately. This is summer fashion at it's best and most affordable. ...

Style Update: Total Texture

I've become a student of texture over the past year. Call me obsessed but I love soft silks, sumptuous suedes and scaly snakeskin. And yes, this whole ensemble is a bit of an ode to texture, combining all of the aforementioned favourites. What I'm wearing: Marks & Spencer parachute dress, Marks & Spencer Suede reversible jacket, Aspinal of London clutch, Empire State Finery Necklace  ...

The Dorchester launches Ice Cream Afternoon Tea

Londoners and visitors to the big smoke, get ready for afternoon tea with a summer twist. The Dorchester have once again added a bit of flare to their Afternoon Tea, launching the Ice Cream Afternoon Tea in The Promenade, and it all kicks off today! In honour of such a monumental movement, I was given a sneak peak at the goodies on offer just days before the big public reveal. Consider this your official first look. Maybe not be suitable for work... as in you'll be tempted to bail on your desk immediately and head over for a mini ice cream. I think the pictures say so much more than words ever could, so I'll let you peruse and drool as you do. But, let me leave you with a reason to keep a heads up in a week's time. I'll be co-launching a very special competition with The Dorchester to celebrate...

Shoe of the Month: Dior Conquest Pumps

DIOR Conquest Pumps Available in a few last pair in black and white H&M shirt THE KOOPLES leather jacket Before we dive into August, I’m going to tease educate you with a pair that truly deserves a shoe of the month feature. As already firmly stated before, Dior really did some magic this year by created these insane beautiful patent sandals right after I had already splurged on the Cruise collection’s satin boots. Although it’s not often that we talk about Dior’s shoes under specific names, these go under ‘Conquest’. Pointy, sharp, high heels really sets my soul on fire, that you know! I’ve spent the last year hunting down the best, oversized ruffle blouses on the market without even thinking about how that idea would translate into a pair of heels. Well, now we know....

Discovered: A Lavish Lavender photographer's paradise in England

From the moment I stepped onto the property I knew what I was about to let loose a not so secret secret about the perfect place to do a fashion shoot. Of course the people of Mayfield Lavender Field have seen many before me come to capture their purple haze for days. They even have a setup, whereby if you are a professional, you must register your interest in shooting in the fields. Don't let that sway you from popping by. This is as much a place to be enjoyed as tourist as it is a professional snapper.  Located just an hour outside of London, this is truly a place that will blow your mind. Yes, I know I say that a lot, but having lived 14 years in London and then stumbling upon such a place threw me for a bit of a loop and now has me thinking of all the other little hidden gems that...
