MILANO!

I am going to Milan with my family this weekend to see a close family friend who has just had a baby, I'm so excited- going to eat pasta and ice cream, until I'm twice the size, oh yes.

So in the Italian spirit today, here are some Valentino's finest pieces from the 2010 Autumn/Winter collection, beautiful ruffles, frills, sheer fabrics, and off the shoulder subtly sexy dresses, and an element of total European sophistication you cant help but admire. Valentino is the most inspiring, flamboyant Italian designer , he used to drive around in a red bullet proof Mercedes......(totally low key...?!!) Valentino was born on May 11th 1932...woah......hes no spring chicken anymore...!!

East End Shoot continued.....

Here are some more images from the shot in the east end i posted earlier this week, I love these stripey vintage trousers i borrowed from a friend, and the vintage jumper with little animals across the top-so cute, i kept  after the shoot to wear with little denim shorts.

My other favourite thing is the fisherman jacket, which i gave my boyfriend , its literal mazers, and perfect for the approaching festival season-whoop!!

EAST END PHOTO SHOOT ;with Louise May

I had the pleasure of helping my friend , louise May style these images she took round where i live, she is exploring all types of photography, not just fashion, but wanted to do a shoot which involves architecture aswell as a styled fashion focus too. East London has so many lovely places and building's to photograph, and most people are too busy/pissed/in their own world to notice them, it poured with rain in true British fashion from the first shot, but we still had a laugh taking them, and i think the shoots look great-take a gander!

pretty much all of the clothese are vintage, many from beyond retro in cheshire street, shoreditch. The bowler hat, and leopard print boots- which are so mazers, are topshop numbers.

i will post more shots soon, as there are so many....

links to Louise Mays website is below, aswell as the models blogs, Luke (fashion blog) and Alexis (weeding blog) which are also fantastic, and worth a visit! ta ta x
