Monday

Tom Ford

While scanning the Vogue gold pages i stumbled across this campaign. Its been a while since we have seen Nicholas Hoult. He is forwarding the campaign for Tom Ford eyewear. Looks pretty darn good to me..

Marie Claire -Nicole Richie

Busy again past few days. Job hunting and trying to have a social life yet still finding the time to write articles and catch up on my favourite blogs ...where do i find the time? Anyway, VOGUE this month is another delight. I treated myself to Marie Claire and Vogue - a total cost of a house, but i was feeling Monday blues so needed a pick me up. Nicole Richie is looking better these days, she has designed her own range called Harlow 1960.

She is looking pretty amazing don't you think? I love her new hair. This is one look i am interested in following..

Wednesday

Ashish - LFW

I have tickets to London Fashion Week for both Ashish and Bora shows. I cant wait!

I cant wait to attend the shows - Ashish for Topshop is amazing. He is an interesting designer, using the theme of 'surfing' and 'American Summer' as his influences. I hope he has some tailored collections that i can familiarise myself with. I love this black studded jacket and leggings.

Sunday

Liberty and Gillian

Gillian Wearing is a conceptual artist who i was impressed by while visiting the TATE. I picked up one of his images on a post card which was hilarious. Random women in white t-shirts with messages on them about their sexuality.

I have been really busy this week with OFSTED coming on Monday and trying to fit in all marking and coursework deadlines. I have not even worn out my Kurt G's yet!

I popped into London on Wednesday to vsiti my friend who works at Burberry. She gave me an interview, as she has been promoted to Stylist Asistant. Pretty darn good considering she was volunteering in Dress for sucess

Went to a secret Location in London on Friday for a warehouse party. It was insane! I loved it and cant wait for the next installment.

Anyway - that will follow soon which i will write for NJAL. In the mean time check out these pieces by Gillian (this is the postcard i got)

I am loving Aquascutum

And of course, Stella.

Pictures Of Walls

Another great book i picked up from London, Pictures of Walls. London, Manchester and USA is covered in this picture book of pointless yet funny vandalism.

Artists i am Loving..

While at the TATE on Saurday, this painting by Meredith Frampton (1894-1928) was the piece of art that stayed with me all day. When you investigate this painting up close, the detail is magnificent. The knuckles, her nails and the creases in the leather sofa are so realistic its amazing that something so real wasnt a photographic image.

Another artist i was taken by was Aurel Schmidt, who has recently done an interview for Tokion Magazine. The New Yorker takes her own spin on sexuality with references to grotty, mundane objects you could find in a bin. Her use of condoms, banana skins and cigerette packets are elegantly drawn on canvas to create happy faces.
