Great Scott(s)! What time is it?

Yes I do most of my blogging at night time when my creative juices are in full swing, but now I can check the time so I'm not hitting the pillow too late with a super cool cartoon-inspired Jeremy Scott for Swatch watch!
His design talents on the catwalk have now transferred into pop culture inspired avant-garde watch designs.

The three that have been designed are named 'Lightning Flash', 'Winged swatch' and 'Opulence'.
At £40 they're perfectly priced for a full on collection grab or just buy one for fun. My fave is the lightning Flash, perfect with a pair of Liberty Print Nike collab high tops.

A modern take on traditional wares

So the quest continues for fabulous new room finds and in celebration of their online launch, House of Hackney opened a pop up shop at the beginning of March with a Lilli Vanilli exclusive tea room, so I went along to be inspried. After tea, cake & a reading from a 'doctor' who reads your palm and then types you up what you need to action on his cranky typewriter (sort of confession without the three hail Marys), you are shown round the showroom aka the upstairs rooms of the house which have been transformed into three looks:
Dalston Rose - inspired by the traditional English rose, this collection transforms this idea into a lavishly comfortable setting, making you want to curl up on the bed or sink into the quilted chairs.

Hackney Empire - A racous array of colour & characters stewn over the walls and furniture and my personal favourite

Queen Bee - The 'Mother of the whole collection', she is the contradiction of clean and untidy/ diva and tramp/ extravagant yet reserved. Awash with gold and sky blue, its bound to get you feeling luxurious with the different textures & trims adorning each item.

Everything you see, you can own. From the crimson velvet chaise long & hookah smoking sloths printed wallpaper to the custom made four poster bed.
This is definately indulgent, but definately worth it!

If only -->Coachella Festival 2011

Ok so I'm not going but it marks the start of the festivals to come! Summer has arrived!
It also doesn't mean I can't show you my fave outfits from it either. The three day event takes place at the Empire Fields in California where the young, fun and some famous head for music, art & fashion parties.
Rihanna, Lauryn Hill & Diane Kruger were among the few watching Kanye, Mumford & Songs, Duran Duran & Arcade Fire to name a few perform.

Dita, I  love you : Its festival time so one must always wear Dior (ofcourse??!)
I love her  South Pacific inspired dress


Erykah Badu, I love you. Just looking at you makes me feel calm


Kanye in Celine (?!) Interesting


This year, Outlook, next year Cali-for-ni-yey! :)
