Lovely music by lovely people x

maxi, maxi.

 Dresses, skirts, trousers, I want them all. I can't get enough of the maxi trend.

lookbook wonderland.

lookbook has quite recently become an obsession of mine. Yes, I'm not going to lie, I look at it religiously. Yeah it's pretentious but actually a lot of the photography and styling is really inspiring and just lovely to look at. Anyway, I thought I'd put a few pics on here that I have liked enough to save on to my computer (yes, I have a folder dedicated to this on my desktop..) Have a look for yourselves here: www.lookbook.nu

 From the success of the likes of folk singers Laura Marling and Emmy the Great to people like Adele, it would appear that there's a new spawn of female singer-songwriters on the block and that dance routines and miming performances are long gone from the stage. Husky voice and guitar at hand, Lucy Rose is the latest to arrive on the scene finding herself somewhere in the middle of the female indie, pop and folk genres. Still unsigned, you'll have to tune in to her myspace (http://www.myspace.com/lucyrosemusic ) or indeed head down to one of her shows to hear the impressive self-produced tracks including this incredibly catchy song Middle of the Bed:

This is out on the 8th of August as Lucy Rose's debut single! 

  

4?

So I believe number 4 of my Desert Island Disc selection would definitely be Noah and the Whale's Rocks and Daggers.  Why? Because, quite frankly, it's SUCH a good song.

Hair Today....Gone Tomorrow?

I'm currently loving Alexa Chung's bob. I'm thinking I may be sporting the look myself soon! However I must wait until after Summer, as it could be a little too high maintenance for my liking, what with all the RAIN we seem to be having here this season. Sigh...

Look Who's Back

Always eager to collaborate with the top trendsetters, Liberty of London is Nike's latest partnership. And what a collaboration it is. The original Liberty Dunks was made way back in 2008 and this season sees 12 new additions to the collection. Liberty's distinctive floral textiles mixed with some of Nike's most iconic styles including the Blazer and the Dunk, have together produced some fantastically stunning styles for this summer. I personally love the Kara's Tree Print Low Nike Blazers (pictured) which have recently come into Office, much to my delight!  I think I may just have to add these to a fast growing trainer collection of my own....
