New Hotspot - Trailer Happiness

Yesterday me and my friends ventured to Notting hill to go to a new bar we had heard about. Trailer Happiness was full to the brim with Portobello road hipsters! The small venue was decorated in a eclectic style with a mix of modern sofas and tables mixed with trinkets and decorations from all over the world. A great mix of people, and a very comfortable smoking area (which was much appreciated!). Drinks were very expensive - vodka and coke was about £5.00! However if you feel like something a bit more exotic they have a huge list of interesting cocktails presented in pitchers, which often seemed to be set on fire or have sparklers poking out the top. Over all a really enjoyable night. The music was particularly good!

Some of the many drinks you can order from the menu.

Designer to watch - Alexander Wang

Taking the fashion world by storm is 25 year old Alexander Wang. Graduating from New York's prestigious Parson's the new school of design, and winning the council of fashion Designers in America as the CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winner. Wang is known for his edgy somewhat masculine and androgynes womenswear designs. Wang is also known for using colours that reflect the city that he lives in - New York. He tends to use grey and black tones. However in his spring collection in 09 he switched things up by using bright colours such as orange, aqua and hot pink. "They wanted colour they got colour!" he said.

obsession du jour - Model Lara Stone

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GIRL!

she has been credited as the model of the moment, and has been commended for her hourglass shape. Stone is Dutch but grew up in Paris. She was discovered at the age of 12 on the Metro. She looks to me like Kate Moss - without the emancipated figure. Stone has been voted Vogue's 'Girl of the year'. I love her fashion sense, she sticks to the super models uniform of black jeans/ leggings, loose tees, blazers, boots, but looks anything but ordinary. Stone is extrodiary looking, and i believe she is the new face of a trend of models about to appear. She may be the end the the size 0 model!

New Photography

photography from a recent trip to new york. New York is one of the most of exciting cities in the world. so i tried to capture this in my photos. Manhattan island is full of history however the only natural thing left in Manhattan is the huge rocks in Central park, everything else is man-made.
