New Year Clear out: ditch the old for the new

Happy New Year! It's the end of February so perhaps its bad luck to say that but its my first post of the year :)
As we bid 2010 a farewell last month (be it a fond or fast one), I just had to post about this shoot from last years 5th Anniversary Sept/Oct issue of Wonderland magazine; Katie Price, looking nothing like the old her.
Yes its from 4 months ago but everytime I find this mag someone hasn't yet seen it so I've posted it here for those of you who haven't.
Looking almost unrecognisable (or is that just the black and white photography?), she looks less 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' and more natural. Below are my fave shots from the shoot.
Well done to Aitken Jolly who photographed her in this way, maybe she'll swap the old for the new....in an ideal world perhaps.



More to come on Aitken Jolly.... 

Last of the Summer Fayre's find

At Victoria Hall just off Bethnal Green Road was the bi-annual 'Bust' fashion fair for young designers. Its a great place for unique jewelery, custom-made clothes & vintage finds & includes a bar & a tea room with delish cakes and pretty ladies dressed in forties fashion that serve you. The themed dj's played 90s old skool pop that you remember dancing to at school discos - those were the days!
Anyway, back to the task at hand, these are the designers that caught my eye:

Pushing the boundaries

I ran into this store under cover from the rain & WOW I picked the right shop to do so. Just off Carnaby street in Fouberts Place, this 2 floored shop boasts collections from a range of new cutting edge designers. All pieces are hand-made & one-offs at great prices! Ideal for that last minute impulse that actually won't be regretted in the long term.
