Lula Loves 24/5/09

Also I must mention that (above) my spelling is appalling but only just realised! but someone that can write and impart wisdom is the eccentric and iconic Karl:



Follow his twitter here. Incidentally I have just joined the site to follow such informative quote. Yes I caved to more Internet sites!

In addition, this week I fell in love with the peculiar named artists work 'my dead pony' by Raphael Vicenzi. I think the "I am not a Cupcake" print would look fabulous on my wall.

Squish squish

je nais sais quoi

Photobucket

Today I received May's Issue of Jalouse Magazine from Magazine Cafe after longingly looking at these images (above) for quite sometime. I was not disappointed. The editorials are beautiful, with inspiring styling which captures the french 'je nais sais quoi' impeccably. Only Problem now is to learn french so I can read the highly intriguing articles! If like me you enjoy the images from the magazine (and to be honest who wouldn't) whole issue of the magazine are available to view online (and there's a nifty button to turn it to English! Hooray!)

Oh Mickey your so Fine






In aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital charity, Disney has joined forces with a whole bunch of characters to create 'My Mickey Ears Auction'. The likes of fashion designers Henry Holland, Luella, Giles Deacon (and more) and celebrities such as Patsy Kensit, Katie Price, Peter Andre, Geri Halliwell and Estelle, this unusal collection certainly has a cheaky and british feel to it! All bids are to be made at the auction site linked bellow and if you are in London in the near future I highly suggest visiting START Boutique in East London to see the beauties in person. I did myself yesterday and was excited by the encrusted ears of Luella and Katie Hillier. So I ask you, what are your favourite ears? and how would you wear them?

Get over'ear! couldn't resist!

P.S Yes, I agree, the hands are a bit creepy- they are actually made out of soap...not sure if this makes it more creppy or less...

Model as Muse

Photobucket

I couldn't help but indulge in the images taken at this years Costume Institute Gala. Last years theme was memorable as superheros took front of stage and this years seems no different as models become the theme for 2009. A lot of the outfits (above) I fell in love with; bright colours and luxurious fabrics and a 1930s glamorous grandeur. However there were a few outfits that are a little cringe worthy- all I need to say is bunny ears (which in contrast looked fabulous on the catwalk) and you get the idea of what I'm talking about.

P.S: Doesn't Blondie look fantastic!?

Home Sweet Home

Photobucket


Recently the idea of 'home' for me has been turned upside down. I guess there is that type of 'home' complex where once you move out from your family you feel like you lack a home as when you go back, its never the same as when you leave. The solution may lie in creating your own sense of home for yourself, through decoration to suit you. For me I have a lot of decorating coming up with the decoration plans for my bedroom back 'home' and my new house that I will be moving into around August time. Coming up with these ideas have been with me a lot recently and ways in which you could decorate in a less invasive way (for rooms that you wont be in for long- hotel rooms, halls of residence, e.c.t).
Above there are a few inspirational images, plus here are a few ideas to get you going:

Cover your walls with cuttings from magazines. I did this for my halls of residence walls as it was easy to take down and put up. Its kind of like creating a large collage full of your favourite images.

Fold up lots of paper origami cranes (or any other shape) in different colour papers. Attach them to invisible thread and hang from the ceiling above your bed.

Brighten up your room with a bunch of beautiful flowers.

Cover the walls with framed photographs of good times, friends, family and places. Choose different styles of frames in different shapes and colours. You could spray paint old frames to make them more modern or cover them in fabric.

Arrange the books on your shelves in rainbow color order. May sound a little anal but the colours really do look fabulous in this way and if your anything like me and can only remember what the book looks like and not what its called, it will be much easier to locate.
