19.07.2010- Buenos Dias!

I got back from my holiday yesterday, after a really relaxing break. I've still got a mountain of unpacking to do, but couldn't resist posting this editorial from US Harper's Bazaar, featuring Jessica Stam. Shot by Alexi Lubomirski, the shoot is entitled Spanish Revival and, looking through it, I quite want to go back to the Spanish sunshine myself!

I really love the vibrancy of this shoot; you can just feel the sunshine seeping through the pictures. I hope to get some of my holiday photos up here soon, just as soon as I get my case unpacked!

03.07.2010- All my bags are packed....

Just a quick little post to say that as of tomorrow I'm off on holiday for two weeks, so won't be posting for a while. Hope to return rested, relaxed and with a tan (although I have a feeling I may just go a lovely shade of lobster like always!) Will get back to blogging as soon as I can when I get back, hopefully with lots of holiday photos to share.

Love

01.07.2010- Lula Loves

In celebration of Lula magazine's 5th birthday, editor Leith Clark and set designer Fiona Leahy have collaborated with Harvey Nichols to create and curate an exclusive pop up shop on the recently refurbished fourth floor of the Knightsbridge store. Described as a 'celebration of all things Lula', the pop up shop features exclusive pieces designed by the likes of Erdem, Rodarte, Sonia Rykiel and Miu Miu. And, as if that wasn't enough, Chanel is offering a very special (if somewhat mysterious) treat to shoppers upon their making a purchase from the collection. If you live outside the U.K or can't make it to London, the items that feature as part of the pop up shop are also available to purchase (or simply lust after) online at harveynichols.com. I love this pop up shop idea, as it transforms shopping into more of an experience and brings it an element of theatricality. The images I've seen of the design of the shop itself so far seem to encapsulate the aesthetic and attitude of the magazine perfectly. Here are my picks from the collection...if only I was filthy rich!

Miu Miu Glitter Jewel Peep Toe Shoes, £420

Rodarte Hand Marbled Dress, £2515

Rodarte Love Hate Sweatshirt, £115

The pop up shop is open for one month from today, I'll definitely be popping along once I get back from my holiday, if only to find out what this mysterious Chanel gift is!

What do you think of the idea of a Lula pop up shop? And do you like the collection?
