I'm not one to get overenthusiastic about make-up. If it does what it says on the tin, I'm a happy customer. However, i recently indulged in Chanel's Vitalumière in duty free and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. It's light, smooth and you can barely tell you're wearing it. J'adore!

KEEP IT SHORT.

British Vogue, June 2010

What a great summer, "traveller" themed editorial. I love the majority of the styling particularly the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th images. Miranda Almond has selected a show-stopping range of tribal-style heels to compliment the shorts the model is sporting. The shorts are, each in their turn, eye-catching and very wearable, coming from the likes of Celine, Prada and Gucci. For me, the final image is the best, sufficiently modern and that necklace is wow. Not to mention, Constance Jablonski is simmering.

Sort of sums up how I'm feeling about leaving Paris...

It's a Foals moment.

Been seeing this campaign everywhere in Paris. I love their swimwear, it's innovative and totally wearable.

Envie de l'été...

Vanity Fair, Italy, April 2010.

This editorial really makes me want it to be real summertime. We had a glimpse of it a week or so ago in Paris, but now back to the grey chill I thought had left.

Could it be magic?

It's true, the Eiffel Tower is synonymous with the city of Paris. No visit can be made without at least a glimpse of the protruding spire wherever you are in the city. It makes itself known. And the view from the top is just unbeatable.

Hazy memories.

I have just 2 and a half weeks left in Paris...I don't know where the time has gone! I really don't want to leave, but I am looking forward to spending some time in London and then at home over the summer. 


It seems like a split second since I first arrived in Paris, bamboozled by the lights and hopelessly foreign. Now it feels like home. I do think I'll return one day.

Prim I Am.

This Danish label began in 2008. A mix of clean cuts, fresh colours and simple designs. They have just collaborated with Topshop and will be featuring in the London Oxford Street store. 


Here is an interview with the label, taken from Inside Out Topshop's own blog.


How would you best sum up your design ethos?
Good quality, attention to detail, organic materials and affordable too!

What's your favourite thing about your job?
Doing what we love doing every day, being creative and working with wonderful people!

If you had to pick one favourite piece from your current collection, which would it be? 
We have many favourites, but if I had to pick I would say either the sexy Bounce dress or the very soft Allure t-shirt in organic cotton. Or the denim shorts, Blast, which I love the fit of.

Where's the best place in the world?
Copenhagen in the summertime!

What are your must-see London spots?
We love Covent Garden and all the small shops and cafés.

What can you absolutely not live without this summer?
Wedges, denim shorts and tank tops.
