A fabulous collection that would make any girl weep sweet tears of joy....inspired by the palette of Dutch painter Vermeer and the aristocratic silhouettes of Van Dyck, as well as the historic archives of Dior, these are the type of clothes you can only dream of. Yesterday The Dior Haute Couture Show in Paris presented us with a collection only to be described as Dramatic and theatrical.
Simply divine the full fifties skirts came suitably clinched at the waist, cascading into sea blue ripples, anchored by swags of folding fabric or beribboned and garnished with bows. The Architectural sleeves were offset by flamboyant and feathered hats (expecting nothing less)Finally the washed-out tulip prints – reminiscent of antique china - danced around dainty waists of ivory strapless ball gowns, it looked beautiful.
What is more about this show that not many people will know.. The last eight looks are taken from the Couture Collection of 1947. However these dresses of 1947 have been made from inside out for 2009…just to show you how perfect the construction of a Couture dress is. AMAZING.
"There's a credit crunch. Not a creative crunch....It's our job to make people dream." John Galliano… absolute genius!
LET’S START DREAMING LOVERS...REMEMBER YOUR THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS***
A sixteen –year old brainchild Luna Cedron is the name behind fledgling fashion label Venus in Furs. The label has already been seen on the backs of some of the coolest kids on the block. Catching my eyes while reading an article on Dazed Digital I thought she was incredible.
Luna’s exertion Features brightly coloured, almost childlike illustrations, shimmery fabrics and florals, the label defiantly has an elusive edge that leads to an inspired fantasy. With a following including the likes of Foals, MGMT and Connan Mockasin Venus in furs is no doubt destined for BIG things
COLOURFUL AND FUN
A LOVE FOR SPECTACLES

Words can not explain how blown away I was with the ray of talent that was on show last Saturday night! Charlee Drew a dear friend of mine had invited me to his first debut home town show @ the shed, extremely excited to see him perform along with other live acoustic bands the night was defiantly one to remember.
So the journey begins at 8pm, I drive down to Mr Drew’s to pick my lovely friend Nikki. On arrival (after 20min of frantic car park hunting…we finally make it) to our designated destination. Rachael Furner was first to be seen live on stage. For those of you who have not heard of her she is a 16year old girl from Northampton who is a singer songwriter. Rachael has been playing the piano since the age of 6 and writing songs since the age of 11. Currently she has been touring the UK playing gigs in the most unlikely of places. Seeing her in the Shed that night I thought Wow what a beauty, secondly amazing voice, powerful, soft and angelic. As she sat down playing the piano, singing her songs, Rachael would elucidate the thought process in which inspired her to write her songs it was so beautiful. I really felt the reality of her situation as she sang you could almost feel the heartache and emotion to what she had been through, it was real and that was the beauty of it, amazing!
Anyway next in line was my boy Charlee Drew, an extremely endearing character, having known Charlee for many years I have seen him grow into something beautiful! Formally part of a band called Freefall Felix, Charlee has now decided to pursue his musical career as a solo artist. A talented soul yet to be signed! Performing live Charlee Drew had the boys and girls screaming and jumping for joy once again. It was a pleasure to watch Charlee perform some of his own songs and various covers which all went down a treat! Especially the song Issues (Charlee made me and Nikki listen to this a million and 1 times!!) I’m not a big fan of the girl group as it’s not my usual preference of music but Charlee’s cocky version is quite cool I do like it. Click the link below and let me know what you think!
Apart from singing Mr drew also blessed us with a bit of stand up comedy, which was rather entertaining, I wish I recorded but my camera unfortunately ran out of memory :( Covering various issues including global warming, the world and how fucked it is and STI’s, Charlee rebelliously took the interacting with the audience thing to another level which was also quite fun! A perfect end to the night finishing with Charlee Drew I heart you!!
Today is the day I will bless you and the world with my existence are you READY folks??
I have no job currently so I have created myself a homemade position. Documenting my antics in life and discovering what other creative creatures are about, it’s now or never Love Leena has now landed.
So I’m dancing with myself, well there is nothing to lose and there is nothing to prove. The world offers me many pleasures it’s unlimited look at what’s out there!
