11.05.2010- Always in this twilight...

Florence and the Machine's latest single Cosmic Love, is one of my favourite tracks from the album Lungs and I'm so happy it's the final single to be taken from the record. The video has just been posted on florenceandthemachine.net, and it is epic! Have a watch and see:



A-MA-ZING.

Also, for those of you who couldn't get tickets or live outside of the UK, this Friday (14th May), Florence's gig from London's Hammersmith Apollo will be streamed live from 9pm GMT, go to the website for more details.

Finally, Florence has created a window display for Selfridges, for a project called Sounds Of The Mind, which is a celebration of the power of lyrics. Other artists participating include Hot Chip, Dizzee Rascal and Marina and the Diamonds. Here is Florence's window, based on Cosmic Love:

I can't wait to get myself to Selfridges to have a look at all of the other windows.

11.05.2010- Urban Love

For a long time, Urban Outfitters has been one of my favourite places to shop. I love the eclectic mix of clothing brands that they retail (which are usually not available anywhere else in the UK) and adore their home accessories. This Spring/Summer, they have got some fantastic pieces in, all of which I'm lusting over:

Pins & Needles Peter Pan Frock, £58. I love Peter Pan collars, and this pale nude colour is perfectly on trend.

Rodeo Fringe Colour Boot in Brown, £75. Every pair of worker boots I tried on over the winter were either horribly painful (hello blisters!) or made me look like a clown. These, however, look quite promising; the chocolate colour is divine and they don't seem overly uncomfortable. Fingers crossed!

Antique Rose Pastel Scarf, £12. Perfect for the brisk spring mornings.

One Of A Kind Vintage Sequin Top, £65. Sadly, this has now sold out online, but I really loved the pink and purple colour combination.

Vintage Leaf Pearl Belt in Nude, £16. So cute, again a way to work a little bit of neutral into your wardrobe.

Lace Up Suede Ankle Boot in Black, £55. Perfect for the transition into autumn, these ankle boots are simple and versatile, a wardrobe staple in the making.

At the moment, they are also having an absolutely killer mid season sale, with many items retailing for less than half the original ticket price. Also, if you buy any three sale items and enter the promotional code 'SALE3' at the checkout, your items will be delivered for free! So far, I've picked up these:

Rose Stem Necklace in White, was £14, now £9

Bonjour Mademoiselle Tee, was £28, now £9.99

Pastal Feather Appliques in Pink and Mint, were £16, now £10 each

By Johann Safari Shorts, were £38, now £17.99, will be perfect for my holiday!

And I recently bought this lovely mirror for my bedroom, which has sadly now sold out online:

Thoughts? Do you love Urban Outfitters as much as I do?

04.05.2010- MET Ball 2010

Here are my picks of last night's Costume Institute Gala Red Carpet:

Alexa Chung in Phillip Lim. I adore this look on Alexa, the bow detail really reminds me of a scene from Coco Before Chanel (if you've seen the film you probably know what I'm talking about.) Hair and makeup are styled to perfection, she looks effortlessly chic and really at ease here. Love!

Diane Kruger in Calvin Klein, clean, sophisticated and elegant, I really love her makeup here as well.

Chanel Iman in Michael Kors. I love the fact that Chanel chose to wear a jumpsuit rather than a gown, she looks radiant.

Anne Hathaway in Valentino, looking every inch the fairy tale princess.

Nicole Richie in Marc Jacobs, perfectly co-ordinated.

Kate Bosworth in Valentino, love the Jean Harlow-esque hairstyle, and the beaded detailing on the gown.

Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte for GAP; I am utterly in love with this dress.

Who stood out for you? Any I've missed? And who disappointed you?
