Feeling rather Floral

Roses signify beauty and love, a tulip is the emblem for a declaration of love, it points in the direction up the garden steps. Ladybirds are associated with good fortune.

'The garden is a place of emotional attachment'

I have been spending too much time online! I really really love the kind of 'schoolgirl' shaped dresses with collars at the moment for autumn. Rodarte for Opening Ceremony especially. Oooh and the Charles Anastase dress is so beautiful, I've held one similar to this. But why oh why is it practically £1000!

Martina Olssen and Linda Sagum

I really love this shoot, called Emma's Dream, by photographer Martina Olssen, stylist Linda Portman Sagum and retoucher Johan Miderberg. Or collectively they call themselves The Grain but I don't think they've done much together recently. The model is Emma Karlsson who I think has this amazing fragile doll quality to her...

Beautiful Delivery!

At my internship I was asked to help get ready for a fitting. Whilst the editors assistant had to rush to Heathrow to pick up a Rodarte dress, I was in charge of collecting the many many deliveries of shoes and clothes. I had to pack everything neatly in the suitcases ready for the fitting and sew buttons on a stunning but incredibly delicate chiffon vintage Charles Anastase dress (hopefully its still alright!) But the most amazing thing was when we got a HUGE delivery - a box of Chanel Haute Couture straight off the eurostar from Paris! The box was bigger than me and when I opened it and saw the beautiful velvety hangers with their gold double c emblems my eyes lit up! The Chanel dresses were so beautiful and I couldn't believe that I was surrounded by 10 dresses worth thousands of pounds haha. My favourite two are in the photographs, I love the dark navy shift dress with big white flowers especially...

And lastly this beautiful Louis Vuitton Speedy, oooh if only it was mine haha!
