The Model Actress Scenerio!

Every so often someone new on the scene rolls along and causes a stir in the fashion world!  Rila Fukushima is no exception. She will be a more commonly known face on Britian’s side thanks to her role in the new Wolverine film (she plays the flame haired Yukio) but she has also appeared in many top end ads, music videos and short films.

 She falls into the very large Model /Actress bundle alongside Rosie Huntington Whitely, Rebecca Romjin, and Lily Cole etc.

But there is something about Fukushima’s look that sets her way above the rest.

Her style is understated yet colourfu, dynamic, and wildly futuristic

Rila Fukushima’s look is different! and truth be told I personally can’t wait to see

Topdog, Topshop!!

I actively avoid Topshop, i usually scour online and vintage boutiques to find one off pieces, but when i read about this i had to say something!

Topshop have launched a range of hand crafted silk scarves made by women whom have sought shelter under the Key of Freedom project.

Topshop have been working with the Key to Freedom project for a year, and their aim is to provide a safe environment for vulnerable girls in West Bengal.  these girls are given security and the opportunity to learn how to dye, sew and print to become independent through work.

 A spokesperson from Topshop has stated that these women earn a good wage (hopefully it’s above the minimum status) and that any additional cash left over goes back to the charity.

I must admit though, despite people’s cynicism all of this is for a good cause. And thanks to their message and how they look, i’m on a bit of a mission to collect all four scarves before they sell out!

Their simply perfect for summers,  (head wraps, sarongs etc) and cold winters.  I’m in love with the blue floral pattern one and my friend recently bought the peach coloured one.   (You can show off your scarf on Instagram and Twitter).

These hand crafted scarves come in a variety of gorgeous Indian patterns, are made from silk and cost roughly £32 (online price) and they are only available at the Topshops located in Oxford Street and Brompton Road.

Summer of 2013, the year music came back!

Sorry to all my readers for my total absence! the last year has been crazy busy but i have found some gems (both fashion and music wise) to paff on about. This summer has been all about music,The Rolling Stone at Glasto, The Arctic Monkey's SMOKIN hot and more adult return (see below to see what i mean!)

To psychedelia making a full scale comeback!

the super freaky Tame Impala has been on a steady repeat on my I-Pod, with sick songs like Mind Mischief, Half Full Glass of Wine, Elephant and my favourite Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.

and The F.U.R.S have also left a major impression on me and my music list with their old school 60's California/ San Fran style tracks and music video's.

i can only wonder what more could possibly come from the year 2013!!

Doh'ing for Homeade Doughnuts

4 cups of self raising flour

2 tablespoons of caster sugar

1 teaspoon of salt

1 beaten egg                                             

10 fl oz of warm milk

Light oil

105g (31/2) of warm melted butter                     

2 tablespoons of dry yeast

1)    Combine flour , sugar, salt and yeast in a mixing bowl, and combine milk, eggs and butter in a separate bowl.

2)     Gradually fold in the flour mix to create a soft dough

3)    Turn the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 min, the dough should turn soft and pliable,  roughly the same consistency as pizza dough (but don’t over knead, otherwise the doughnuts will turn rock hard!)

4)    Put the dough in an lightly oiled bowl before wrapping in clingfilm and placing somewhere warm, 45 minuted to an hour should be fine.

5)    Once the wait is up knead the dough for a minute before letting it rest for a 5 minutes.

6)    Roll out to roughly 5 mm thick before cutting into circles with a biscuit cutter,  leave the discs on a lightly floured surface for 20 minutes to rise.

7)    Heat the oil ( the oil should be up to about 21/2 inches) to 130 degrees (be sure to let the oil get hot first, and be sure not to the oil smoke up the gaff)

8)    Fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, a few tester balls should be made first, and drain the doughnuts on paper towels.

9)    To make the cinnamon sugar take some caster sugar and some powdered cinnamon and mix in a bowl......that’s it

10) Be sure to toss the doughnuts into the sugar while their hot, so the sugar can crystallize and cling to the doughnut.

Lolita Has It All

My deep love of Lolita fashion grew after this style just relishes in being quintessentially girly!

I'm now focusing my attention to coats! the now ugly troop of grey and khaki adorn our streets

while these gorgeous gems stay locked away in a vintage shop.

i love a mac as much as the next girl but just look at this style! the flair! the unblushingly good taste.

Regency and Victorian heavily dictate the Lolita look, the detail in the fur trimmed (also available in faux)

just oozes innocent sex appeal, while the lapels and gold buttons scream sophiticata chic.

Welcome Back Marina

the gorgeous husky voiced lady that is Marina has now taken over the charts with her new hit Primadonna, 

a while after her long absence she's no longer the smoky brunette, she's now a cheeky blonde with a 60's twist

 very Brigette Bardot, i must say!
