So onto other things... I've been working on  a focus called watch this space for this coming weekend. its all about promoting those brands that a lot of people wont have heard of. Everyone Knows the Topshops and H&Ms of this world but theres so much more out there that needs to be seen. One of my favourite brands at the moment is Never Fully Dressed. It was created by an East End girl and is full of wearable yet ultra girly designs with vintage influences thrown in. If you haven't checked it out then do! (www.neverfullydressed.co.uk):





Another of my newest favourite brands is Studio Nicholson. They've got the androgynous look down to a tee and i'll definitely be sporting some of their clothes this Autumn. The Androgynous trend is going to be big for next season so if I was you id check it out (www.studionicholson.com):

up to the eye balls



Firstly i'm sorry for my lack of blogging lately. I've been on my own in the office this week and honestly haven't had a chance to do anything else. Also xmas press days are in full swing so i'm trying to get out when i can to see what fantastic things are out there- it is slightly depressing though that i'm already thinking about xmas stories in August!!!!
Anyway last week I was busy shooting a tailoring story with Vincent Dolman out on the streets of Sloane square and thereabouts. It was a great day. I had the wonderful Carlos Palmer doing hair and make-up and let me tell you he's a genius!!Here's a sneek preview of what we shot:






I also shot a fashion shoot to celebrate Per Una's 10th Birthday collection but thats not out until the beginning of September so you'll have to wait to see that. The clothes are definitely worth checking out though!

So onto this week....... Im shooting an accessories story tomorrow which i'm quite excited about. Ive got some fab pieces in. If you've never heard of Carole Tenenbaum then her website is definitely worth checking out-http://www.caroletanenbaum.com/. It sells vintage costume jewellery which are designer stamped and limited edition. When I start making my millions this is the first place i'm headed meanwhile ill have to make do with just shooting them and returning them. Check out some of my favourite pieces:

Christian Dior snake chain necklace


Chanel geometric cuff


unnamed claw turquoise ring


After my shoot tomorrow i'm going to concentrate on sorting out a few In the Closets with... Im shooting Lydia Rose Bright from TOWIE next week so have to sort out all the details for that and i'm also doing Imelda May which i think will be a really interesting one.
