The Banana Dress

Today I'm wearing a vintage 80s banana print dress, D&G spectacles and my brand new camera. I'm hopping out to take a few snaps of my cousins newest brood. There's hundreds of them so I'm going to be pretty exhausted by the end of it and may just have to treat myself to a paw massage at Grace Belgravia. Daddy just treated me to membership and I'm already addicted to their veggie patch smoothies. I guess that wasn't his actual reason for getting me in but the cafe is halfway to the gym so I'm almost there!

A feel good Christmas Wishlist

Today I'm wearing a vintage party dress. Don't you just love the party season!?
 
And don't you just love Christmas?! Having an excuse to show our loved ones how much they mean to us is so lovely. But how about channeling all that retail enthusiasm into something that gives a little something back? I have a little something from all of these stores ready wrapped and waiting under my tree (Hence my extra warm inner glow today!) Go on, get yourself some glow...

Super cool bangles that support African artisans by The Base Project

The Base Project is also available at The Marketplace on the TOMs website alongside other cool and ethical brands like  Stone + Cloth and Out Of Print

Beautiful scarves and jewellery supporting local artisans around the world by A Peace Treaty

The Africa collection from ASOS supports Kenyan communities. I quite fancy the slightly bonkers Leopard jacket for myself!

Lots of lovely things for men and women at certified fairtrade organic clothing company kowtow

Yooxygen at Yoox.com marks each of its punchy, Spanish-designed garments with a traceability tag that identifies every worker in its manufacture chain, from India to factories in Portugal or Italy. 

Some beautiful ethical Kenyan jewellery over at MADE (I especially love the rings)

...and if you don't fancy any of those you could always buy a goat

Hoppy Easter Everyone

What a lovely weekend I have had! Sonny and I have been hopping around enjoying the 'very unusual for this time of year' British heat wave. I've already polished off both mine and Sonny's chocolate eggs (Thanks Mr Easter Bunny) and I will be burning up the extra calories with an extended shopping session as soon as all my favourite stores open tomorrow. Until then I'm topping up the sun cream on my non furry bits and enjoying a leisurely day by the seaside....

Happy Easter everyone!

A Vintage Winter

 I'd like to think I can be of some inspiration to my readers. Especially when it comes to shopping. How about a bit of two tone leather?

From left to right simple satchel, cute shoulder, sweet briefcase, mini holdall, lovely saddle

Oh and isn't this vintage Fendi bag just darling - unfortunately it's reserved otherwise I would have snapped it up myself!

Layered up...

Here's me in full on vintage yesterday. I braved the cold with bare legs - It was actually quite warm in the sun and luckily I do have some natural protection! I went on a little cake mission with two of my girlies. I was very tempted by the miniature pink fairy cakes but not wanting to appear greedy by having two I opted for a huge piece of lemon drizzle. Yum! One of my secrets to staying cheerful in these long winter months is that cake should be a regular occurrence and  actually while I'm thinking about it tea from a proper tea pot is essential. As are candles, log fires, fluffy kittens and plenty of cute knitted accessories.

Today I have been trying on some yummy Charles Anastase Spring Summer 2011 for Elle Magazine. Just one perk of the job as an international furry fashionista. Unfortunately you'll just have to wait until the magazine comes out for to see how cute I looked. I'll let you know when it comes out...

Stockings and Slouch

Went to visit some friends at the weekend in Paris. We visited some fabulous antique markets and I came home with rather more than I intended - A 10 foot painting of the Matterhorn and a collection of antique pickled onion forks, I don't even eat pickled onions! They were just so pretty, I couldn't resist.

I received the proofs of my book cover last week, it was so exciting to see myself in official print and I was pleasantly surprised that the title is foiled. Don't you just love that font? It's just a little bit "Elvis the Vegas years" ...and here's the back. Please do excuse the quality of the shots, I just did them quickly on my iphone. (By the way, if you're as excited as moi, you can pre-order my new book here)

Don't forget to enter MY COMPETITION! - You never know I could be wearing your design on these pages. Don't forget to pass it on if you know an amazing creative who you think deserves some exposure.

...and for any budding photographers out there have you seen Vogue's amazing photo comp? I'd be tempted to enter myself if I had more time. Being a furry fashionista keeps me to busy for anything else!

Festivities

I popped over to Glastonbury last weekend - got a lift in a friends helicopter, it's so useful having connections you know. Just seeing the queues from the air was enough to make me feel faint. I don't mind a bit of roughing it - so we stayed in a gypsy caravan! It was so quaint. Sadly I failed in my attempt to hire a horse to complete the look and move my new home wherever I wished - just imagine sitting atop the steps watching Florence and The Machine rock the Other stage!

On the friday night I wore this Vintage harem pantsuit, it was so nice not to have to think about waterproofs, the weather was out of this country - literally!

So two words to sum up the best of the festival
- Stevie Wonder....
Amazing!
