The Elizabeth and James shades would probably be the safer bet out of the whole lot, having a small round face, can be difficult to find sunglasses for, I cant pull off the other funkdafied sunglasses, but sighs, I can appreciate the aesthetics of them from afar. Currently the weather here has gone back to dull and dreary dodging rain hour, so the only shades I currently own, have gone back to the drawer. For now the brollie is back in full use... mustn't complain though haha

SPEECH BUBBLE STATEMENTS
Chalk one up for this emerging young designer from Sydney, Blackboard Brooch, speech bubble brooches Make the statement you want to make, then rub it out and start again..... Mine should read SLACKER, since last week blog slackness crept in, I was swept up by the Roland Garros Tennis finale along with a BBQ blitz and Family Wedding. The brooches Available online at Oye Modern


CONGRATULATIONS RAFA
The nervousness was killing me this weekend, But I was absolutely elated for Rafael Nadal, who lifted his fifth Roland Garros title, after coming back from bad injury problems and enduring a tough year. He's a tennis player who I've followed closely over the last 6 years, and have had the pleasure of watching him play in the Monte Carlo Masters.  He's always been a class act on and off the court and I am so proud to be his fan - not just today but always.

DARCEL PAINTS THE TOWN RED
I think I've fallen for adorkable Darcel :) The ever charming and hopeful Darcel from the exciting blog Darcel Disappoints managed to charm his way in to toast the Opening of the Luxury Brand's New London Maison. 
New Louis Vuitton maison at New Bond Street, same Old Darcel

The person behind Darcel is a New York based illustrator Craig Redman.Redman’s posts are personal diary entries of what he does in New York on a daily basis, and through his computer-generated illustrations, he puts his alter ego of Darcel through the paces of simple but unfortunate events, where it could only occur in Darcel's world.

FRIDAY FILLER COLLAGES


Elzna Stirna of MissDIOR Couture blog, continuously creates aesthetically alluring fashion collages, that simply I feel would compliment any fashion magazine out there. They always inspire me to create some of my own using Photoshop and whatnot, but then I call to mind how self destructive I can be with any Art or creative project that I undertake without a given deadline or monetary value. I wish I could utilise my mini novice easel, take it to the outdoors and sit at peace with a canvas, but I don't have the inner calm or the patience. Feel free to meander at MissDior Coutures blog to see the rest of her creative collages.

Delightedly it would seem no more dodging raindrops for this coming weekend, perfect moment for some Al Fresco dining, and to visit a heritage park for the Tudor Festival. Have a smashing contentfull weekend Everyone!

YOUNG HUNGARIAN TALENT 
ADELUX DIPLOMA RELOADED

The Diploma Reloaded collection is a re-interpretation of GIORGIA FONYODI’s individual fabric manipulations.

It would seem as of late, the young designers of Hungary are continually popping up on my radar, with the likes of Dora Mojzes, the Used and Unused label, and forthwith Giorgia Fonyodi. I genuinely get animated when exploring new designers, they bring an all together fresh creative and a stirring hungry energy to there projects, whom I feel I can always matriculate from, although I always recognise the veterans of the industry and the longevity they are able to attain, nothing quite entices me like the smell of a new carpet i.e new designer. Giorgia Fonyodi has designed various collections, with a mixture of Haute Couture, visual forms of art and pieces for trendy every day wear or even for those wildest parities. 

Her most fascinating component to her designs, which piqued my interest, is her attentiveness played in pursuing extensive research of making chronological parallels, comparisons and clashes of classical vs. modern, traditional vs. futuristic, elegant vs. extravagant styles, then analysing them in terms of systematic folding (pleating, smocking, tucking...) and observing special aspects aesthetic, artistic, social scientific, economic demands, changes, developments...thus creating re-interpretations of fabric manipulation.

Giorgia Fonyodi feels It’s speciality lies in the sewing technology ideas that change the look and feeling of fabrics, thereby endowing fabrics with additional content: the texture is modified, an ornamental or shaping function is added, ergo it is reinterpreted.

These methods are something quite alien to myself, since I never took textiles, however I have the feeling even if I did, Giorgia Fonyodi, is on a whole other amplitude.

Reebok Easytone Trainers Trial

24 May 2010

EASYTONE CURVE



I was able to fleetly grab a friends camera to take a quick snap of my REEBOK EASYTONE'S which was long overdue, in order to share my Reebok Easytone Trial with you folks, that commenced over two months ago. Brief update for those of you who don't know, I received a charming surprise through my inbox, inviting me to trial the new Reebok Easy tone trainers along with receiving a few Reebok goodies. I was thrilled to get the opportunity to evaluate these trainers and to get down to really exploring whether these Reebok Easytone's developed for toning the glutes and legs whilst walking veritably 'Walk the Walk'! excuse the pun.

If you get to know me, It's a thumbs down to the gym, the odd moment I've been determined to tone up and visit the gym, I end up feeling like a guinea pig rotating on the wheels of the gym machines. The only natural way I can tone up my legs is by running and walking, (have I mentioned I dislike running too haha) the only running, I can muster is either if someone is chasing me or by playing sports! This was why receiving the Easytone Trainers was an idealistic way of making the most of the situation and getting my glad-rags on by instantly trailing out on walks near the canal side and hills.


One of the element's I was cautious about was, I have never really been an apostle of trainers, only because I've brought an odd pair or two trainers purely based on the aesthetic factor, I confess! I was attracted and lured by the designer trainer. The only problem was, I suffer from flat feet which put a strain on my muscles and sent waves up to the ligaments, whenever I wore flat trainers. The only trainers I was snug in were boxing trainers. But I don't hardly wear them any more.

When I battened on the Easytones, my concern was allayed by past problems and the EasyT's provided a bouncy spring every time I took a step forward, like you probably do when you're having a good hair day or something. In all honestly not only do I care about the comfortability factor, I needed to know whether they work and tone the glutes and legs, and after wearing them for over the past two months, I can noticeably say, I can feel them working the legs and glutes by the pull and burn sensation experienced. If I'm honest, the Easytones are not some magic potion for the legs, but naturally getting in plenty of walking in this nice weather, is giving me a more greater esteem about my legs and glutes, and I would positively say its not a placebo, seeing as it straightens my posture and propels my walking steps.

If you're further curious about the Easytones, have a meander at the Reetalk Toning community, where I and many fellow bloggers, are trialling these shoes and providing feedback. I will be sure to post some more pics of the shoes once my DSLR is fully functioning.
