Ray & G - NYE

The fabulously talented, Brian Cleaver, was in town from NYC to celebrate NYE in style with is TO family. Lucky for us, we not only got to ring in the new year at his super fun hotel room party, but he also took some lovely pics of all of us. I was allowed to keep the top one, but could only take an iphone snap of that beautiful picture of Ray. More photos to come soon, but for now you can check out the rest of his work HERE.

A wrist full of love and memories!

From Dusseldorf with Love

Hallo! No I have not forgotten about London Snog, I've been away in Dusseldorf, Germany for the past four days sans internetz! Well, I did have internet but it was the equivalent of dial-up from 1997 which equals no blog posts for moi. Anyhoo, now i'm BACK in London and back to blogging!

I had such a nice time in Dusseldorf, heading over I wasn't expecting much from the city but it blew me away and I can't wait to go back! My younger brother recently re-located to join the city's ballet company and as he was performing with them for the first time over the weekend, my mum and I both flew over to visit and support his debut. It's a shame that my four days full of fantastic arts, food, family and sights went by so fast but it was a great mini-break indeed. More photos to come soon! x

I Think I Hear The Rain

Little ballerina, please don't you fly away

Love me here forever. Oh why won't you stay?

My eyes are dark and twisted. My hair is in a mess

But you don't only love me when I am at my best

Keep close little darling, I think I hear the rain

My love for you just kills me. It's driving me insane

This is it my love. Our final hour has come

I'll hold you close in to me until the rain is done

Smile that little smile. Stick out that little tongue

There is no question to it. I know you are the one.

(aka my brother! Isn't this absolutely beautiful?)

Mornings Are Great When...

a) You get to enjoy a Grande White Americano, homemade banana bread and Rosie Huntington Whitely on the cover of LOVE all at the same time.

b) You receive the cutest postcard of all time from home. Basically, HUGGS is the best ever and if it weren't for him, I would only ever receive mail from ppl asking for my damn money.

Jackson On GQ.com!

My brother, Jackson, was recently captured hanging out in east London with his friend Erik. He had no idea it was for GQ.com until my friend Louise spotted him online and sent me the link! The photographer told them he was focusing on east London boys and their style and so I've included a couple of other snaps that I like below.

When Cleaver Came To Town...

He took pictures of me, and I took pictures of him. Check out more of Brian Cleaver's lovely photos HERE.

I Heart Presents!

I have the best brother ever! Jackson bought me these Alexander Wang inspired clogs from Dune that I am simply obsessed with! I've been living in them ever since he gave them to me, they're soo comfy! Hooray!
