LDR for H&M

When I was looking through my recent Elle magazine I froze when I finally saw a printed version of Lana Del Rey for H&M. Then I froze again yesterday when I saw her commercial for H&M. She sings 'Blue Velvet' in her signature style, like melting icing.

I don't know when H&M are realising this collection, but the day it does, I'll be there. Fo sure.

Also, yesterday I heard the full version of 'Damn You'. I remember when I was on Tumblr, I heard a 30 second snippet of the song. At the end of the clip I was nearly in tears because I wanted more. The song matched exactly what happened to me that night. Lying down in my room at 3am replaying and replaying the 30 second long clip.
It's such a simple song. Repeated verses and choruses. Sounds like a song that was made in a day on a cheap digital music software. But it's the simplicity that entices me.

Gaga X Terry #2

Again, my two loved eccentric artists come together for Lady Gaga's latest tour, letting Terry Richardson snap exclusive and raw behind the scenes and backstage photographs.

Here's my so far favourites.

More madness than before

Wishing to be a Nasty Gal

I know I'm not the only one who can spend hours on Nasty Gal.com

This is hands down my favourite American online store. And it's such a frickin' pity (American accent needed) that the shipping is incredibly expensive to deliver to the UK.
Shipping might even cost more than an item of clothes!

Therefore, when I become a billionaire, so frickin' bad, I'm gonna buy all of the things on Nasty Galllll. And I don't even have to care about the shipping, cos I'll just fly over to the states and get them delivered to my Malibu beach house or my Miami penthouse. Simple as.

Baby I got a plan, runaway as fast as you can.

Nearly the end of August. And I've only done three posts? -__- disappointed face is needed. And I don't even have an excuse for my bad blogging. Oh well!

I think it's another holdiay/get me outta here post... I definitely need some new scenery in life.

Reminds me of a scene from a Lana Del Rey song.

Busy street, somewhere in Asia

Who doesn't love a pretty pink sky?

New York City from above. 

I find it oddly interesting that everything is so perfectly structured. Boxes, squares, rectangles...

And looking at how HUGE Central Park is!?

A bank in Toronto. Fancy, huh?

Summer fruity tropicana chicas.

Charlotte Free (lookalike?) and that lovely pink motel

- You should know that I have an obsession with pink motels

RiRi got that summer beach look going orrnn.

Now this picture, I love it. Probably because I've taken it, but it reminds me of my holiday in Las Vegas this year in January. It was, possibly , definitely the most expensive restaurants I've ever been to. It's located in the heart of Vegas, called the Stratosphere. It's incredible. A restaurant that rotates at over 800 feet, allowing you to see all of the lights, sparkles and dazzles of Viva Las Vegas. 

Damn, I wanna get away.

But it makes me glad that I'll be gone for a few days to Manchester this weekend. I know Manchester isn't the sunniest or most thrilling places in the world. But I love it. I reminds me of my home town London, only half the size. And all my family members up there are the loveliest people, ever.

It's the only place in the UK, other than London, that I know and visit the most in the UK.

Gutted Manchester Uni don't do the course that I want to do.

Back To Braces

Braces are back. Really? I don't know if I'd actually be able to pull this one off, but I'll like to see this on the models or real fashionistas.

I remember when I used to wear braces with neon blue skinny jeans, pink Nike top and multi-coloured hearts on a blue hoodie from Primark. And, I thought I looked good. I guess I could get a picture of me wearing this... But every organ in me will cringe to the fullest that I would not be able to even type this post. Ok, bit extreme, but it would be embarrassing.  

Reading September issue of Elle with Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, there were sections of must wear for A/W. Braces caught my eye because I still have them in my draw, but thinking how could I wear them? Maybe wear them something like these two lovelies:

Or maybe it's just them that makes braces look super cool.

Hit, or miss?

Dior Addict Advert

Best advert out now. Whenever there's an ad break I pray that it will come on. It's fun, cute, sexy, cheerful and cheeky - all at once. The director of this work is the quirky talented Jonas Akerland. It was such a surprise when I found out he directed it, as he is my favourite director! The caption underneath the video on the Youtube channel says Dior Addict is the art of seduction and being free; which Akerland and the sweet and charming Daphne Groeneveld capture perfectly.

Enjoy, the director's cut version. It's longer!!

Sienna + Journalism Rant

I remember seeing Vogue's April 2012 edition of cover girl Sienna Miller. I've never been a fan of Sienna, heck, I've never seen a film that she's been in.

But after I saw Alfie (2004) I understood the excitement. She's effortlessly cool and so pretty it makes your confidence in yourself cry. Watching Alfie it is blatantly obvious to see the chemistry between Jude Law and her. I mean, who wouldn't want to run up to her and kiss her face off?

Ok. Bit too far.

I wanted to highlight this particular column in Vogue was because whilst talking about Sienna and her troubles with paparazzi it also states the problem of journalists becoming spies.
May sound strange, but journalists are wanting to know anything and everything about celebrities. From raiding bins and sneaking into deleted emails, Sienna has experienced it all from these Showbiz mags.
As an inspiring journalist, I don't see the joy in knowing the bees knees and all the dirty little secrets and rumors. Although I do enjoy the guilty pleasure of watching E! news, I still find it strange when you know who's dating who or who's talking to who. Especially when they have no clue who YOU are. We forget that celebs are individuals, humans, people! Just doing a job! They want privacy. Let's give it to them.

When did journalism become hated by celebs? When did entertainment become loving gossip about celebrity affairs?

Sorry, I'm having a big blog rant right now. But it's an issue that has to be dealt with. I hate the feeling of people questioning my job ambition wondering why I want to spend my career following celeb lives?... that's not what I want to do.

I want to talk about interesting and thrilling news, and not this silly childish bedroom bitchy gossip. Let's write about what they want us to write about, not what they are hiding away from us.

Word.

Oh, yes. To leave on a happier note. Aren't these pictures beautiful? Haven't seen a better editorial than this is Vogue in a while. 

The gracefulness of the birds and petals fluttering away leaving Sienna looking effortlessly peaceful, as always.

The last image of Sienna holding those funeral flowers are quite daunting, but yet remarkably pretty and quite humorous, right?
