Press: The Barry M Style files with The Broken Hearts and Cosmo

Here I am being interviewed by the lovely Broken Hearts as part of their Barry M Style Files for Cosmopolitan UK.

 

The series of films show the DJ duo meeting some of the UK's 'most exciting places and faces', with Barry M manicures to match.

You can see me getting my nails done in the classic 1920's Half Moon style, and because they are Barry M nail products they are completely animal friendly (a must in my book). 

Whilst getting pampered inside the Beyond Retro cafe I chat about my prop work and show case one of my hand made headdresses, which will be coming to my Etsy shop.

The Barry M style files will be launched every Friday on the Cosmo UK website. Head on over there  to see the first in the series featuring the beautiful presenter duo themselves.

I would like to say a special thanks to The Broken Hearts, Barry M and Beyond Retro for giving me the opportunity to be involved in such an exciting project. 

Look Magazine Downton Abbey Feature

Here I am doing my best Lady Mary impression for a Downton Abbey inspired feature, in this week's Look magazine. My bedroom was used as the location and you may also recognize my friends Jessica, Amber and Rob who are also featured. 

For those of you who know me in person (and even those who don't) you will probably guess that they might have slightly exaggerated on my interview. ;-) That being said I am so happy with the feature and would like to thank the very lovely girls at Look, it was a pleasure.
This issue is out until Tuesday so go and have a look.

While we are on the subject of Press I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at The Vintage Fair.
I have been included on their guide to Vintage bloggers. I was absolutely thrilled (and honoured) to have been included in amongst so many amazing blogging ladies.
Check their blog out here.

I am still slaving away on my Etsy shop, it won't be long now. In the mean time if 1950's Kitsch is your thing I will be listing lot's of homewares up today on my Ebay.

Sunday love to you.

The Kelly-Marie Capelet

 

The Beyond Retro Lable named a capelet afer me. 

The 'Kelly-Marie's' are made from vintage Silk Scarves and come in a beautiful selection of prints. 

My one came from the Cheshire Street store and was found for me by the wonderful Kristofj ( of Christophe clutch fame)

 

 

The print on mine is made up of fans, filled with Goddesses and Cherubs that are surrounded by Elephants and Lions. Perfect! 

The Kelly-Marie Capelet can be found in all the Beyond Retro UK stores. 

Read more about them here. 

A very special thank you goes to Jessica Spinks.

I am wearing mine with:

1940's Gold Satin Dress: Beyond Retro

Necklace worn as a headdress: Charity Shop

Pictures by Craig (who also has a Beyond Retro vest named after him).

Pictures were taken in my Bedroom which you will get to see in a post very soon. 

Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday.

Work: Kylie Minogue - Time Bomb video

I was the cast wardrobe assistant for Kylie Minogue's new video 'Timebomb'. Directed by Christian Larson  and produced by Jacob Swan Hyam as part of the RSA Films.

I had to spray paint this jacket to get the neon colours and dress all the extra's in various outfits. 

I would like to say a huge thank you to the amazing Lydia Kovacs, head of wardrobe and who I assisted.

 We had such a great day, the cast were so much fun and the video is fantastic. I know I'm probably a little bias but I LOVE the song. Can't wait to go out and have a dance to it.

The video is below, enjoy.

Press: Love Magazine- TRASH by Mario Testino

My very own vintage 1950's black pleated tulle skirt photographed by Mario Testino for Love magazine Issue 7 S/S 2012.

It has been worn by Natalia Vodianova and Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and has shared pages with Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Beyonce! Lucky skirt.

One day I will show you the skirt in it's traditional 1950's glory but for now I will let you enjoy it as the fabulous Panos Yiapanis intended.

A very special thanks to Helen Rendell for making use of my weird and wonderful collection of Vintage.

You can see more images from this shoot here. I would highly advice buying this addition of Love as it has some amazing shoots inluding my new favourite ' The Origins Of Monsters' by Tim Walker.

It also has Lindsay Lohan looking like a smokin hot femme fatale, Karen Elson in a Prada archive shoot, a Busby Berkeley style story for Louis Vuitton, and a hauntingly beautiful White story entitled 'Cold Summer'.

Money well spent!
