START the weekend early

To celebrate the in-store launch of the brand Irwin & Jordan, START

invited us along to check out the collection and wind down with some drinks and party chatter. START is my favourite shopping destination, so getting the chance to take a camera and snap the store was a real pleasure. It was lovely to meet all of the START girls, who have been working so hard to give us a shiny new START website, so be sure to check it out.

My eye was drawn to the shoe section, and with a 20% off for the night, I must say I was very temped, but as I will be off to the Antwerp stock sales at the end of this month I need to save my temptations untill then...

The Irwin & Jordan collection is a mix of ethereal silk dresses, collaborating with different illustrators created a story between the rails, from flora and fauna to a human figure. Some pieces are limited edition and are only 100 of them, so this is something really specail for this store.

Vintage Antics in East London

In the new summer campaign for Vitamin Water, titled “Show your Vits” Emma is the new face of REVIVE, the refreshing and fruity morning after hydration drink. The new ads feature ‘real people’ but not only is Emma gorgeous she’s a very talented lady too; being a university lecturer, a singer in an afro-cuban choir, running a club night, and now her latest venture- opening a vintage shop in Hackney called ‘East Of Eden’.

Over breakfast with the lovely ladies- Charlie from Girl a la Mode, Amy from Wolf Whistle, Cyrenea from Freak Deluxe, Charlotte from Style Cartel, Leigh from Style Canteen along with her little boy Jase and also Paul from Exposure PR,

We had some tea and toast in the cafe Nude and planned our day of vintage hunting…
