STYLE/ My Favourite Things

This week some of my favourite items range from strange little
soft toys, odd but very good movies, original clothing designs
and yummy food that is also great for you. Come and have a
look and hopefully you will be inspired.




And here is the rest of it.

You may have heard of the name Christian Joy before, if not, don't
worry. Christian Joy is the fabulous designer who created all of
the bright eccentric outfits for Yeah Yeah Yeah's singer Karen O.
You will be happy to know that the talented Christian Joy has now
released a new collection, FALL 08! YAY! This collection is made up
of reds, whites, silvers, black and all in a sort of vintage 80s
circus feel. One thing for sure is that you will never look like
an average joe in one of these outfits.

Wear: Fall 08







Red Wolves is a shoe company from London. Amongst their influences
there are some fantastic bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the
kills. Red Wolves definitely have this London rock'n'roll look to
their shoes and I could picture many rockstars in a pair. Their
styles are bold colours like red and gold, big shiny buckles,
pointy toes and lots of straps. These shoes are very cool and I
would love to go to my next music concert wearing a hot pair.

Katherine Pont was an Illustrator, now she is a very talented
fashion designer hailing from the United Kingdom. Her clothing
is cute and folky, light brown, cute classic patterns and ribbons
make up her very charming collection. Katherine was born in
Sydney, Australia and recently showed her collection at Fashion
Week. She is now living in London and has been there for 7 years,
completing her art degree.

I am a nerd when it comes to food, I get addicted to certain types
of yummy food and then I eat it non stop. At the moment I am
obsessed with Sweet Potato or Yam as it is commonly called in
America. It is tasty, easy to make (put it in the oven), fast to make
(30mins), filling, cheap to buy and healthy for you. Sweet potato is
high in vitamin A and C and is a complex carbohydrate (it keeps you
full for longer). I also hear that Oprah is a huge fan ;)

Eat: Sweet Potato Chips






The other day I was reading a blog who mentioned this fantastic
designer Mimi Kirchner. Since seeing these dolls, I have been
obsessed with them. They are like quirky little artworks made into
a 3d soft form. The cute little dolls take on characters such as
pirates, circus men, old English ladies, robots and much more. They
would definitely add life and conversation to any room

The Savages is definitely one of the better movies that I have
seen this year. Starring Laura Linney and the always entertaining
Philip Seymour Hoffman, this film is strange and entertaining. The
story is a black comedy based around a brother and sister who's
father is dying. In the film they have to deal with getting their dying
father to a nursing home, there is a lot of comedy since everyone
also has to deal with the fact that they have drifted apart emotionally.
This film is happy, sad and amazingly well acted.
