Fur & Fluff


LUXURY
This autumn winter is all about fur, (all faux of course) fluffiness and luxury. I cant wait for it to be cold enough for me to dress like this, I love everything about a big fluffy coat and skinny jeans, it looks so warming but posh! Over the top sheepskins fluff is also beautiful on jacket collars. A seventies gangster look reigned at Gucci, whilst at Prada a slight aviator feel, and Louis Vuitton the ultimate cleaning maid of curly fur.
At Roberto Cavalli a drowned animal rising from the water look, looked amazing. Or that's how I interpreted the collection anyway!
The best thing is it doesn't have to look natural. The most extravagant coats were deep jewel green and purples, as seen at Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
P.s Everything looks even better when you have your trusty dog by your side, a la Sienna Miller.

Germany








I went to Germany to visit family which was really nice. I stay with my aunt who lives in a tiny village in the country, and I love it because all around you are huge fields and lots of vineyards and trees. Its so easy to forget that I have a job in London or that I need to study, when its such a relaxed lifestyle there.
The photos of the buildings are from a town called Trier - which is the oldest town in Germany. It has these beautiful buildings, all colourful and 17th centuryesque, the town was so pretty it was like a playmobile village! The weather was a bit grim when I went though, hence the rather dull facade to the photos, so they came out as a bit of a disaster to say the least!
Hope you're having good holidays!

Azaleas and Novella














In spring I went to the Isabella Plantation in Richmond and it was so stunning, all the azaleas were in bloom. The music above is from my friends band Novella, their first single, the things you do, is out on itunes now! I hope you like their music, I lurrrve it.
