The beauty about skype and the Eurostar is that you can be chatting to a dear friend living on the other side of
the English channel on a lovely Friday evening, recounting on how boring your week has been you think...what
the hell? Are you doing anything this weekend? He says no. And you say ok can I come over to Paris to see you
because I don't feel like spending a boring weekend in London. Sure. Pourqoui pas? So the next morning you go
to St. Pancras and voila in 2 hours you are smoking a cigarette walking along Rue St. Honoré and discussing life
in French. My friend has an amazing apartment, as he also works in fashion as a photographer. We went to a
rather odd exposition (Jeu de Paume) on a British photographer called Martin Parr. I say odd because the life size
photos outside (Jardin des Tuileries) were more relevant and interesting than the ones we paid to see inside, which
were of other photographers.

But the best thing is that I have ordered a fujifilm instax mini + film from ebay which I should get before my trip
to New York !


So let me leave you with some mouth-drooling eye candy from a current Wizard of Oz collection on display at
Galeries Lafayette. These were my favourites.

For all of you out there who have "accidentally" used your grocery money or for the daredevils rent money on an item of clothing, please raise both your hands ... and now clap or pat yourselves on the back because in the end it was worth it. We either lied to ourselves by pretending to fast or we dug into every Starbucks or supermarket food sample, which we previously snubbed. Then we called our parents and gave them the .. "do you want your innocent defenseless child to sleep on the streets, delve into heroine and prostitution, do you?!" ..speech .. if they threatened not to help pay our rent just this once. And they gave in. So you got to have your cake and eat it too.

t-shirt. Zara

I had a lazy bank holiday this past weekend. I felt so tired I could barely fight off the insane and what-are-you-still-doing-in-London-with-this-shiteous-weather tourists when my friend and I went shopping. Here I was in front of my mac, so I decided to revisit photo booth with a recent purchase. Grace Jones tee. Yep that's my virgin kitchen in the background where no cooking has ever taken place. Ever. Don't be fooled by those cooking utensils. When I moved in I just stared at them and they stared right back at me.

Victoria Beckham RTW FAll 09 Collection





Et voila ! The finale of the Victoria Beckham video I was in. There I am in that infamous red dress from a previous post. I did not expect that kind of soundtrack but it's still pretty awesome. And it looks like Bergdorf Goodman are part of the showcase.

I have always loved Cassie's look, even when she shaved half of her gorgeous hair off ; something I wish I had the guts to do. I came across this shoot she did for a brand called Dimepiece. These are five of my favorite pieces. I'm loving uncle Karl on that tee. check out the rest here.

Porto Alegre, Brazil is where this gorgeous specimen was born. His name is Jose: pronounced:[ʒuˈzɛ]. We were playing around in my studio with my Polaroid sx70, Canon50D and a disposable Kodak. sigh. Here are two of my photos I love. Obrigada Brazil

plimsolls. salt & pepper shoes

I was in brick lane today and I came across one of those shops that sell plimsolls for ridiculously cheap. I got myself a shiny pair. I've never had shoes this shiny in my life and they have velcro straps, which is something I haven't had on shoes since I was about 10 years old. I can't wait to wear them with skinnies in the winter.

tweed jacket. Zara clutch. All Saints bag. Zara jewelry. Vintage & Topshop


I could not have been more excited to see this Chanel-esque tweed jacket, which is part of Zara's new collection. So many brands have tried imitating the Chanel jacket and this is the first time one fits me properly and does not make me look like someone's granny. It sits on you almost like a bull-fighter's jacket. There were other styles more black than navy, but for me this is the best rendition I have seen.

I just bought the September issue of InStyle UK which came with two free eyeliners. Yay.! I saw this shoe and my heart sank. I want them so bad. Even if to just watch TV in. I wonder, would anyone ever dare to do a head-to-toe studded look?

Today I got the opportunity to work with Victoria Beckham on a video for her collection. She went through our looks upstairs before we stepped outside to shoot. Talk about paparazzi galore! So I found some clips online at dailymail.co.uk. That's me in the red dress, and I took one on my iphone before the wardrobe stylist ripped it off me, thinking I was gonna make a run for it. Ha ha ha !

WILL POST THE VIDEO ONCE IT'S OUT!
