Silver Nail Stickers


Besides from my bad hair i am really pleased with my Silver Nail Stickers purchased from Superdrug a few weeks ago. Downside is that they are a nightmare to get on and i have been receiving electric shocks from every light switch, but upside is that they are so SHINY and look especially fabulous in the dark so roll on New Years Eve.

CV experiments

Here are two quick snapshots of different CV's I'm working on. I can't decide which i prefer. I want the second one to look more like a letter but there is just too much text. No matter how hard i try i just can't narrow it down any more. And perhaps the first one looks too much like a menu. So for any aspiring chefs out there, take note. I was also debating doing my name and the titles in my own handwriting to give it a personal edge. 



I have also done a covering letter for my potential work experience coming up in April. I have looked into applying for a placement at Nicole Farhi in e-commerce so this is an example of me trying to sell myself.

MUSE Magazine

So i'm just browsing around on the internet and found this Fashion Magazine that i am now officially in love with. Its called MUSE. 


"Muse – The Fashionart Magazine is an independently published by-monthly publication that was launched in Milan in 2005 with an international vision and worldwide distribution.
Muse is a sophisticated editorial product positioned in the fashion sector with Italian text and English parallel text.

High design quality, a refined layout, strong images, exclusive content and established contributors from all over the world make the magazine something different in the Italian scene and simultaneously accessible internationally.
Fashion is the core of the magazine, fresh and elegant images, surprising new boundaries to visual culture.
Muse is the power of images associated with the search for trends. Muse is a fashion and visual melting pot combining all the relevant culture of art, design, architecture, cinema, music…
Muse is what's going on and what will be next. A constant search for the ultimate expressions of beauty."







The whole editorial layout and the photo shoots are really slick yet innovative. It is quite dreamy but also edgy. I need to get my hands on this magazine asap. Anyone know where i can find it?

Beauty Photo Shoot

Eva Herzigova photographed by Sølve Sundsbø for Numero Issue 33







I just love this photo shoot, it is so beautiful, so sculptural it reminds me of still life drawings. The black and white strong lighting look reminds me of why i do what i do.

Kate Moss for Vogue Italia December 2010


Kate Moss by Nick Knight for Vogue Italia December 2010 styled by Edward Enninful with clothes from Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier. 


I love the vintage pin up look of this shoot, the huge hair, retro makeup and mix of pretty silks dresses with lingerie in such an ouvert way is so glamourous and alluring not sleazy.
