JASON WU












































































































Bright neon hues and bold colour blocked pieces are huge this spring, with neon colour - blocking being the latest trend to hit the runway. At first, admittedly i was quite unsure about the neon colours and i thought id be swerving this hype, however i have taken myself by surprise as my wardrobe now features a number of neon items to pair with a number of different items such as my black leather waisted joggers or my black silk slip on. The rule is to only opt for one neon item per outfit, whether its accessories, bags, heels, clothing, or simply nail polish. Jason Wu compliments the neon colour - blocking trend perfectly, with just one bold statement item for each look. The neon yellow against the greys and blacks are my favourite. They look bold, yet classy.

OBSESSIONS/POSSESSIONS














































































































































Designer duo Nina Einarsen and Iselin Stromsvag (don't ever expect me to pronounce them) have together created some truly exquisite jewellery in materials such as silver, stone, swarovski crystals, feathers, wood, horn and leather. Their work is inspired by the Norweigen nature, balancing between the rough and fine, masculine and feminine. Each item is handmade, therefore no two are the same. I have fallen in love with their designs, i think each item is so unique, and yet modern in such a fascinating sense.   I have my eye on the copper earrings... i might have to make a wild purchase next pay day.

My lack of blogging is entirely down to my workload at the moment. Been going out of my mind with interviews and write ups, I'm surprised I'm not bald with stress. Nearly done though so I'm really starting to look forward to the summer... lots of gigs on the calendar x
