I am loving the pop art work of Chicago based illustrator Jay Fernandez. He loves mixing the old and the new and takes images from fashion magazines to Illustrate them in a traditional comic book style. The use of colour adds a pop art feel - great work!…

HONG KONG

I am planning a trip for early next year and am so confused. There are so many beautiful and mind blowing places around the world, the hardest decision is trying to decide on one? The current choices are Hong Kong (above) OR a combined trip to Dubai and Turkey - seeing that I have not been to any of the above please help me decide if you have been to any of…

I stumbled across this recent photoshoot of blogger Chiara Ferragni from The Blonde Salad shot and styled by Nima Benati photography. I am so super in love with this shoot, everything about it screams innovation and excites my fashion taste buds. I adore the juxtaposition of the floral accents against the geometric back drop. Definately a future shoot idea to keep in mind and attempt. What do…

The black and white graphic trend is a winning combo, especially when it comes to stripes. The look is classic and timeless and has been around for ages (and is not going anywhere soon) My favourite way to wear this trend is to rev up your monochromatic look with pops of bright colours, such as teal, chartreusse and hot pink. Stripes can also be taken into the accessories and shoe…

Accessories for me (apart from my hair hair) are the most fun you can have with any outfit. You can go bold rocking a different styled jewel on each finger or you can…
