Instant Gratification



I have always been a fan of old school photography. You know the sort; the one that involves taking a leap and committing to pressing the shutter button and seeing what fate has dealt you instead of composing 100 shots on your phone and picking the best. Some don't always work out but the ones that do seem to be more special somehow. Perhaps it's because you have the actual photographs in your paws to show friends or put on your noticeboard? 

Anyway, you can imagine my excitement when the beautiful peeps over at Lomo HQ were sweet enough to send me my very own Lomo'Instant Montenegro camera. Yes that's right; instant! How pleasing. And made by LOMO - the experts of fun. It's as if they've taken the old Polaroid format and introduced it to Henry Holland. PARTY TIME! There are different lenses to play with, long exposure settings, multiple exposure settings, colour gels, a splitzer for playing with the composition and even a tiny mirror for checking your makeup (OK I lied, that ones for selfies) Of course I used up the two packs of film that came with it in about 10 minutes (warning - its addictive) but I have a stack on order. I'm planning to take it to the next party I go to as I just know everyone is going to want to get in on the action. 

If you'd like to find out more you can see all the Lomo'Instant's here>

Watch out high end designers, the fashionistas of the world have finally been given the opportunity to create their own sequin statement sweatshirts, and the options are limitless. Bow & Drape will, no doubt, quickly become a fashion favorite with their offering of everything from sequin emojis to favorite foods at the ready for sweatshirt decoration. After lusting after a friend's creation, I found myself designing sweatshirt after sweatshirt to bring back to London with me next month. I'm a woman on a mission- to make a serious statement with my sweatshirts...and this time it's personal!

Go forth and create, lovely people of the world.

It felt almost like I was strolling down the streets of southern France when we took these photos in the middle of busy Paris, god this city is amorous, carrying its romantic reputation for a reason. This jumpsuit (or anything that Mr. Self-portrait produces) is both literally and aesthetically everything, to put it lightly. It has been an ideal end of fashion week month ‘I’m-out-of-outfits’ savior. It has it all: A tailored-like fit, lace, culottes with a deep cool blue hue, not to mention the sex factor, all rolled into something that slips on you with just a zipper, leaving spectators admiring your well put together styling, when the truth is you only need the one garment to pull off the look. That is how I would best describe Self-Portrait, without a doubt the most discusses, worn and adored name in the bizz today.
