H&M - The Conscious Glam

3.4.13




Good evening style socials,

I bring you some love from very very cold London, its meant to be spring but it is still oh so COLD!! Rant over how are you guys doing ? hope you had a great Easter too...

Unto more exciting stuff H&M is set to launch its new line, the Conscious Exclusive ,Exquisite design for a more sustainable fashion future, is this exciting or what ? See below for detailed information on the line and photos.


Combining old Hollywood mystique with sustainability, H&M’s new Conscious Exclusive partywear collection brings eco-friendly style to the max.

The Conscious Exclusive collection is inspired by the dramatic dresses and red carpet glam of Hollywood – both of today and yesteryear. A dusty pink maxi-dress made from 100% recycled polyester cuts a striking and elegant silhouette, while a feminine three-piece suit, made entirely from an organic cotton blend, offers an alternative to the party dress. For the guys, classic tailoring is mixed with a retro vibe and attention to detail, and as with the ladies’ range, every piece uses sustainable materials to mix partywear with conscious dressing.








One Word - CHIC, I love the dresses, perfect for spring and summer weddings

Enjoy the rest of your week

Love xx

Miu Miu short film : THE DOOR BY AVA DuVERNAY

13.2.13


Hey style socials,

Hope you are well and having a fab fab time....

I just saw a very nice short film, The Door by Miu Miu starring Gabrielle Union, Emayatzy, Alfre Woodard, Adepero Oduye, and singer Goapele.

It was so lovely to watch, the beautiful house, the stunning dresses and the lovely music gosh its absolutely breathtaking :-)

It features Goapele's song called For Love, what a beautiful song, and that Gabrielle Union is such a stunner !!!!


Below is the description by Miu Miu, its worth reading :-)

Hope you enjoy watching the video.

Peace and Love xxxx


The Door, by Ava DuVernay, the fifth Miu Miu Women's Tale, is a celebration of the transformative power of feminine bonds, and a symbolic story of life change.

The symbolic centre of The Door is the front entrance of the protagonist's home. As she opens it to greet a friend in the powerfully framed opening scenes, she is shrouded in an oblique sadness. "In the film, characters arrive at the door of a friend in need, bringing something of themselves," explains director DuVernay. "Eventually, we witness our heroine ready to walk through the door on her own. The door in the film represents a pathway to who we are."

Clothing is also a symbol of renewal, each change of costume charting our heroine's emergence from a chrysalis of sadness. In the final scenes, she takes off her ring, pulls on long, black leather gloves, and walks, transformed by the emotive power of the clothing, through the door.

Ava DuVernay was the first African-American woman to win the Best Director Prize at Sundance Film Festival, for her second feature, Middle of Nowhere, in 2012. The Door stars Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Adepero Oduye and singer-songwriter Goapele.



































Spice up Christmas dinner , some festive cocktails

19.12.12




Six more sleeps and its Christmas... I hope you all have exciting plans, here are some christmas fun ideas to enjoy the festive season.


Crafting the perfect holiday for the whole family at Christmas can be hectic. With this in mind, it’s understandable that some people might believe that they have no time to do anything other than stockpile bottles of wine for their Christmas meal. However, there are plenty of easy-to-make festive drinks recipes out there that won’t cut massively into your planning time.

Rum punch
A gingerbread rum punch is the perfect winter warmer to serve guests when they first step indoors from the harsh cold. To make one drink, take 2 fine slices of root ginger and ‘muddle’ them into the base of a cocktail shaker. Then mix in 2 measures of gingerbread rum (or perhaps spiced dark rum if you can’t get hold of gingerbread) and 1 teaspoon of clear honey. Add 2 dashes of fresh lime juice and 1 dash of sugar syrup; shake with ice and then top up with ginger ale and a lime wedge.






Snow Queen
If you’re after something slightly more refreshing, then why not go for a Snow Queen? Pour 1 measure of Snow Grouse Whisky and 2 teaspoons of elderflower cordial over a lime wedge, and then fill with ice cubes. Add sparkling lemonade to suit your taste. For a special celebration drink, add around 15ml of black raspberry liqueur to a champagne flute and then top with your favourite champagne. Pop a raspberry on top and, with such little demand on your time, the Snow Queen could be a big hit!

Coffee
If it’s simply too cold outside to play Santa at the local shopping centre, why not shop for your gifts online – that way you can browse from the comfort of your sofa, with a mug of coffee in hand! January sales offer some great bargains.For a wintry take on the popular drink, add a measure of amaretto liqueur to your favourite blend and stir in some chocolate powder: instant tiramisu in a mug. Alternatively, add a dash of mint liqueur to a fresh cup in order to make it more of a Christmas treat. Or, try adding a hint of peppermint flavouring to a mug of hot chocolate to create a decadent treat that even the kids can enjoy.




Enjoy
