Getting Glacial with Sam Barker

Photographer Sam Barker and his team travelled to the southern shores of Iceland to the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull  Meeting Sam through a good friend of mine, here in New York and getting to hear about this spectacular scenery and dream like trip, I couldn't wait to see the photos and of course do a little feature on the ol'blog. The shoot in conjunction with Harrods and Men’s Health took place in the natural ice caves that form within the glacier. Now these caves come and go in a matter of days and are pretty volatile - making finding the perfect location to shoot, somewhat tricky to say they least. 

Nonetheless, this shoot is something that even Elsa would be proud of yes that’s a Frozen reference. With lights clamped to the sides of the ice rocks and just a dingy to manoeuvre along the river which slowly precipitated as the cave melted, not a moment was spared to capture the perfect moment in this exceptional shoot. Crystallised luminous blue hues in one of the most naturally beautiful settings. Over a day and a half locations were set up both inside the caves as well as on top of the glacier, resulting in a pretty spectacular spread.

Girl Stole Lookbook

As part of my final project of my Fashion Styling & Photography module, I created a kaleidoscopic style look book featuring all the wonderful clothes by GIRLSTOLE.COM. Over Easter on one of the few sunny days, team girl stole hit the streets of South London to shoot the grunge, 90's, vintage, urban..... lookbook. Here's my cheeky spin on the psychedelic collection. Get yourselves over to GIRLSTOLE.COM to pick up some serious swag of your own.

Yeti In The Snow

When it snows in London, it instantly reduces us all to children. Gigantic grins appear on all our faces with the knowledge that a sprinkling of snowflakes will postpone all forms of of transport in and around the city. Trains stop, cars come to a halt and stiletto's and chelsea boot's are swapped for moonboots and hunters. This huge coat arrived from ASOS yesterday and it certainly is the perfect costume to embrace my inner yeti, especially in beautiful dusting of snow. Oversized and ridiculously warm, the perfect way to stay warm over the next few chilly weeks (click here to get you're very own yeti coat).

Silver Frost

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Fur Coat, Topshop Sweater, MissGuided Kitty Skater Skirt, H&M Necklace, Kurt Geiger 'Vera' Boots. 

You can always tell its winter when the fur, cashmere and tights are whipped out. Today was certainly one of those days. Barely reaching zero degrees, it was a tremendous struggle to pull myself out from under my duvet this morning. But, I just love fresh footprints in the frosty grass, which make a gorgeous crunching sound as you walk. This metallic skirt from Miss Guided is perfect for crisp winter days and can't wait to wear it with a cropped tee and some killer heels this weekend. And it's finally here! Hope you all have a great weekend!
