Maria Lavigina Illustrator/Fashion Designer.


Maria is a Engineering and Design graduated from Central Saint Martins & Shenkar college. She worked in the fashion industry as a fashion designer, pattern cutter, and embroidery designer. I do particularly like the architectural angles portrayed in her designs.

Maria Lavigina also did a self structured design project on Matthew Williamson Spring 2013 collection.

G1, G2, G3 (greens) Vegetable Juices


ROOTS & BULBS
Apparently according to Sarah Cadji founder of Roots & Bulbs, anything cooked over 40 degrees kills enzymes.

We eat a lot of processed and over cooked foods in our busy lifestyles and we do not realise these foods have lost their natural enzymes this means they do not contain enough nutrients, but juicing is the easiest way of getting back all the nutrients back into our system. Raw fruits and vegetables help nurture your body enzymes.

Sarah is a Health blogger and launched her own a juice brand. She has recently opened her own shop on Marylebone high street, and is usually there to help give advice and suggestions.

Vika Gazinskaya Russian Designer

Though I have never been to Russian, i've always intrigued by their expensive yet impeccable taste I would love to visit Moscow someday to see the amazing Architecture, colours, Russian Winters. I have been obsessed with the country most especially after watching the movie xXx, you know, starring Vin Diesel? The night club scene in that movie was crazy and I had wanted to experience exactly that sort of night out.


However when it coms to the fashion I have to say the Russians are on another level, I have been reading a lot of blogs,  Russian Vogue, and i'm a big fan of Mira Duma, a former editor of Haarpers Bazaar Russia who now writes for a number of other Russian fashion publications. 
I have recently come across a young designer called Vika Gazinskaya. And I am obsessing with her work.

Vika last catwalk collection on her website was Spring/Summer 2011-2012 but I have come across more collections including her Autumn/Winter 2012 collection and Spring/Summer 2013 through research on the internet. I hope she keeps going and would love to own her outfits someday. I particularly love her Sweaters with the wood diamonds with magnetic gems that can be moved around. Amazing, hope you like her work too

Enjoy!

Alexander Wang Collaboration with H&M, November 2014



So Like Many H&M designer collaboration fans out there, I was delighted with the news of Alexander Wang designing this years collection. Great comeback after last years disappointment. I wasn't happy with H&M choice last year. My favourite have been: Matthew Williamson, Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld O, and don't forget Versace too.


I am a big fan of Wang, and have used a lot of his clothes to design sets in Polyvore (psst, I recently came 3rd in a polyvore competition out of 1,115 sets which I'm really chuffed about check it out here). Anyways getting back to the original story before I got sidetracked just then. 


Alexander Wang has a casual yet sophisticated and clean palette, thats the best I could come up with describing his fashion style.

The collection will be out November 6 and I cannot wait. So in respect of the designer, I will pay homage to Alexander by posting a set from my polyvore account with a creation I have put together with his clothes 
for the next 5 days. Hope you like them.

Dutch prison transformed to Luxury Hotel


Don't Know about you guys but I will definitely be checking out this hotel someday. 

The idea of an old prison may put certain people off but I guess its almost the same way as old hospitals, factories that are being converted to luxury apartments. As a matter of fact many delegated building and locations have been modified to suit our lifestyles these days, look at the meat packing district in New York, it has become one of the most sort after post codes for many fashion labels and bars.

Victoria Beckham Ready to wear spring 2010

Mrs Beckham has done it again with here RTW Spring collection 2010. From the pieces I have seen so far they are absolutely exquisite.
I Looooove the colours, shapes, the geometric cutout necklines on the dresses, These dresses look soooo flattering.




I love this quote form her recent interview with Elle magazine

On the prices of her own dresses
“Would I think twice about buying a dress that costs $2,000?
Yeah! Of course I would. I’d try it on and go home and think about it before I bought it.”

Are you for real Victoria? Because we are so used to seeing you splashing out when it comes to shopping so it's nice to make a comment like that.
Even though she has all the money in the world she still has to go home and think about splashing out cash on some of her splurges.

Mrs Beckham is the cover girl for ELLE America's October issue, in stores now.
