I have to admit i am really impressed not only with the song but with the amazing video! Beyonce looks incredible channeling I'm loving the 1950s housewife meets porn den feel!

Festival Fashion








This summer i am venturing to some festivals in Europe. First i will be hitting wireless in hyde park where i will be hearing the likes of Jay z, Drake, Roll deep, and Lilly allen. Next I will be heading over to Belgium where i am going to Pukkelpop to
witness artists such as Major Lazer, The prodigy, Blink 182, Kelis,
Boys Noize, Chase and status and High contrast. Last and certainly
not least I'm heading back to the UK to go to a relatively new
festival called SW4 on clapham common with headliner
Fat Boy Slim, Caspa, Ms dynamite,
Andy C and Skream and Benga. But as well has
seeing these amazing artists i wonder to my self what do i wear?
At a festival you need to dress practically
as especially with the weather being
so unreliable.
Above are some of my top picks for festival fashion...

Amsterdam -photo diary






















Just got back from Amsterdam! It is such an amazing city. One of the coolest city's i've ever been too... and thats not just because smoking Mary Jane is legal! Have a look at some of my photos from my new favourite city (Other than London). Dutch culture is just amazing, walking around and even cycling is so interesting. Thats right everyone i cycled! Living in London i get transport everywhere. But in Amsterdam everyone cycles. I'm thinking of buying a bike! Thank you Amsterdam for inspiring me!

Trend - Pastel Hair























































I have been noticing a new hair trend emerging in 2010. Pastel hair! When you were younger did you ever envy your 'my little ponies' for their glossy colourful manes, well now is your chance to obtain this retro hair do. Usually pastel colours work with peroxide blonde hair, because the colour comes out clearer. Due to me just having a fringe cut, i feel like it would be a bit OTT with the pink highlights....however i could take tip from Gaga and go for the not so subtle yellow hair.
