"The glamour of the East had cast its spell upon him; the mystery of lands in which no white man had set foot since the beginning of things had fired his imagination; the itch of travel was upon him, goading him to restlessness"

TAXIDERMY... substitute!

My parents are building a new house which means i get a nice new bedroom to dec out. All summer i have been on the hunt for one of THESE 

A taxidermy STAGS HEAD 

This would just look perfect pride of place looking so proud above my bed! I am yet to find one suitable under £300 which is slightly out of my budget! i thought id get one down the local tip or car boot sale.. but no.. so the hunt continues.

BUT in the mean time... today when looking through Trendpulse's blog i came across these beauts!

 Kids bedroom lights made from paper spotted in Paris at Maison Objet

The stuffed animal heads were seen at Magna Carta on the rue de Bac on the Left Bank. 

Id take any as a substitute for the taxidermy.... FOR NOW ANYWAY.... 

If you happen to find a beautifully proud STAGS HEAD on your outings, please let me know  : )

CHEERS.

On|Off round up

So my time working for On|Off at London Fashion Week has come to an end... and i am exhausted! It was a great experience and a wonderful opportunity to see amazing designers collections up close. My last 2 days bought many more celebs, Abby Clancey, Michelle Williams, Olivia Palermo (she seemed so nice in real life... poor old whitney!) , Diana Vickers an the fierce Amber Rose who i am now in constant awe of! Lucky old Kanye! and it was an honor to share the room with the one and only Jimmy Choo. I could get used to brushing shoulders with these fabulous peeps! 

I thought id show you a couple more of my favorite collections that have surfaced since my last post: 

Erdem

London Fashion week Day 2 round up!


So amongst my busy schedule at On|Off this week i have been trying to keep up to date with the other fab shows and Designers show casing their collections all over London for SS2010. Exciting stuff! With help from Twitter and style.com making sure i dont miss the latest celeb action, street style or hot new collection to grace the runway London Fashion Week, it's definitely keeping me on my toes. Working at On|Off i get first look at the amazing collections by designers all week, As well as meeting the talented designers and a few famous faces like Paloma Faith, Janice Dickinson, and Shingai Shoniwa, lead singer of the Noisettes. Along with Susie Lau (who of course i got some blogging tips off!) 
 
Yesterday Jean-Pierre Braganza rocked up to begin the days shows  along with Bora Aksu to follow who both later emerged to be my favourite collections of the day. 

Ants and Corset's

Rocking out to a brilliant soundtrack


Leather, Lace and Satin

This mornings early wake up call was totally worth it to see the queen of customisation- Louise Gray's fabulous textured collection. The presentation made by Simon Ekrelius caused a sensation and bought something Bold and refreshing to the On|Off space. My favorite collections of Day 2 at On|off. 

Amazing lilac paper shredded Hair pieces. 

And PAINTED ON pop sock! (yes! there painted not cotton!)

Bold and Bright pick n mix treats
