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!!
