Work’s been so crazy lately.

However I had to do a little post on my new absolutely favourite shoesies. I spied them and fell in love with them in a preview of the SS12 Topshop Unique collection and after they were  worn down the runway at London Fashion week the amazing amazing shoe designer Mel gave me my favourite a pair! Sooo thrilled!

As the temperature has dropped to a rather chilly 4 degrees the weather has not permitted me to wear them just yet, however I am taking a short break to Marbella next month so I will certainly be wearing them then.

I love their A/W 11 update of their sell-out gold glass ring with these yummy gold flecks and this  INSANE snake effect and agate disc cuff new in on net-a-porter. They have been swiftly added to my wishlist.

Can someone buy these for me please? Thanks.

I hate packing. However, needs must.

Got 3 days to go and am spending this rainy Sunday trying to piece together my Eivissa wardrobe. I raided the sample cupboards at work to get some basics, a few crazy numbers (including a fabulous cotton floral bloomer 2-pieces) and a few lovely spangly bits to reflect the light as I dance away at dawn (!). However I seem to have lost a lovely silver sequin number which is driving me insane. How do I lose clothes??! Where on earth do they go??

Just in time for holiday #3 yay!

In theory this should mean that I should update my blog much more frequently with fabulous snaps for your viewing pleasure…in theory (must try harder).

I’ve been doing some work from home today in the form of shoe research (yes, seriously) and helping to inspire me and help my creative juices flow has been Osunlade’s new Pyrography album I bought off iTunes today.

I went to the album launch last month at Corsica Studios and the set was brilliant as usual. Osunlade is one of my favourite house DJs/producers, like, EVER, and me and my other super-fan friend Mercedes always go to see him play when he’s in town. We’re literally always the first ones at the door, awaiting eagerly with baited breath and waving meekly at him when we spot him in the smoking section.

He is literally the godfather of deep & soulful house music. You’ve probably heard his music and haven’t realised. I’ve liked him being our secret for about 4 years now, but I think it’s time to share…

My favourite tracks so far are I’m Happy, Walkin’ in Paris and Pheramones (playing now), but the best thing about Osunlade albums is that you can listen again and again and discover a new track – or even a small section of a track or beat  that you didn’t realise was even there. Slow releasing goodness. I’ve heard it’s his last house album but I really hope not as that would make me really sad.

His music reminds me of amazing holidays past and this album has got me really geared up for the summer despite the crappy weather outside.

Bring on Ibiza September 2011!!

Apparently she’s a TV & radio presenter too, but I can’t say I’ve seen or heard of her until flicking through this week’s Grazia.

Anyway the hair is good. That is all.


I shall be experimenting with several bags of 22″ hair extensions.
