Yesterday I travelled to London town to shoot with the lovely walnutwax. I had to get the train at 8.55 and my first train was late meaning I had to collect my tickets, enter the damn reference code and sprint the whole length of the platform in 2 minutes flat- thankfully I made it and my friend Hal held the doors. We got to London early and went on a spontaneous shopping trip before the shoot where I ended up caving into the Margiela hype and bought this gorgeous necklace which I wore later in the shoot. More on this coming soon!

STYLE | Contrast

shoes - Dr Martens

blouse - Cow Vintage

trousers - Moschino

dress - American Apparel

I am totally in love with vintage Moschino prints right now and low contrast colours mixed with strong blacks and whites. Oh, and it's my birthday soon so I'm trying to subtly hint at what I want!

STYLE | Metallic

I recently fell in love with the silver windbreaker by Acne,  but on closer inspection in Selfridges I realised that it wasn't at all worth the £200 price tag it had, hanging forlornly from the zip. So I did some research and came across a Sirocco silver windbreaker on eBay, not of the same weak material, but a stronger one. It was a complete bargain for £13.

But my love of metallics continue, I spotted these Marni brogues in a random i-D Magazine I found lying around in Andy's flat, the bond was instantaneous. I am searching for some very similar or a spare pair that I can DIY (I don't want to ruin my other pairs).

The windbreaker will also appear in a future music video for Chad Valley, where I play the part of an extraterrestrial girl wandering around a barren planet, or a deep, excavated sand quarry located near Severn Trent (the smell was awful). I think I took most of the sand home with me!
