ASOS inspire and Whooga Shoes

So with spring approaching fast (and at last), that means new lookbooks and lines out now. It's easy to look to far ahead with New York Fashion week and London Fashion week happening this month, so it was a welcome look at the new season when the ASOS magazine fell through my letter box. They has some great labels and looks and these are my favourite, I love that the 70's is coming back, pastel mellow colours and subtle womanly touches. If you are however still feeling cold and not quite ready for spring, or simply just love toasty feet, as staple that just seems to be enduring the test of time is Ugg boots.Whooga Uggs has a giveaway running at the moment on their site, and they have some really interesting styles, like the ankle ugg, made from merino thermofleece, they are certainly going to keep you warm.

Valentines

Sooo I am not a huge Valentines person, well not in the whole cheesy way, but I do like to celebrate a day of showing people how much they mean to you and to just love those around you. So my partner and I decided to go for a nice meal the night before Valentines day, and it was lovely and quite, with great food, wonderful wine and even better Mint Tea. We went to a place called Mina's, on City Road in Cardiff, it's always busy (due to the excellent north african food), but we got there at 7pm which is quite early and missed the rush. Had some lovely mezza's - pitte and hummus, falafle, tahini and such wonderful things. Valentines morning was also spent chilling out to some sweet fruit and pancakes and champagne (ofcourse haha) and I am in love with the little candle lantern my partner got for me. ...

Happy Feet

Just a few recent purchases that make my feet smile :)  I am in love with my super comfy indian hobo slippers and just wish they had thicker soles because I would wear them out and about. Penny loafers are my new thing...this cute pair is from ASOS and I am so very happy with them (and my polka dot socks) ...

LookBook Photoshoot

So another very busy week - getting more projects in for assessment, meaning more late nights. So I put together this little lookbook called "Sons and Brothers", I am pleased with the results, as I am trying to expand my male fashion photography portfolio. My inspiration for this shoot was to capture a sort of British feel with music grunge, similar to Ben Sherman or Fred Perry but with my own style. Hope you like it :)  Oooh another giveaway is coming up soon...(to be revealed) ...
