Hollywood. The neighbourhood I moved into when I got my first apartment. I was living in an amazing one bed apartment with a swimming pool in the front yard, in between the red ribbon church at Franklin/Highland and the Magic Castle Hotel. I had to walk down the Walk of Fame to get my local grocery store.
Insane.

California Dreaming

So I have a serious back log of photos from America to post, but there's too many to fit all into one post so I'll post them slowly over the next month so it's not California overload!





I found these in Forever 21, but apparently they're going to open one in London on Oxford Street sometime this year...I hope it's not true!

Happy New Year, only 13 days late..
I've been so busy, haven't had a chance to check in at all. It's under 48 hours til I fly to LA for a new adventure interning at Wildfox Couture..and I'm nowhere near ready.

Here's a quick update!
2010 brought a lot of things for me, most excitingly the internship in LA of course, but also to feature on the set of The Kings Speech, working with Emma Cook (some of the garments I made are up on the website now!), and designing some lingerie that will hopefully be coming out in La Senza soon..(photos to come once I'm settled in America!)

Over the Christmas period I gained a new member to the camera family..a very nice Canon digital SLR, which I cannot WAIT to get out and about with in California. I was also offered the opportunity to go to London Fashion Week to a selection of shows in February..and I am very gutted that I won't be here to take that offer up, although I'm hoping it might be possible to go in September when I'm back instead! In the mean time, I've just seen the new Burberry ad campaign shot on Brighton Beach, so here's a few from the preview.





I can't wait to hit a sandy beach in 23 degree heat..my first stop is going to be helping on the set of the next Lookbook..in Santa Barbara, possibly my favourite place in California!

Posts will probably be a little sparse until I get myself sorted in a house with internet, but for now, Happy New Year, may it bring you prosperity, love and happiness!
