henna tattoos

Hi guys,

What an amazing weather and great start to the week. Let's hope it stays like this for a very long time.

Yesterday I had another opportunity to work with an amazingly talented henna artist Pavan (who btw happens to be the Guinness Record Holder for the World's Fastest Henna Artist). 

We did a great new concept for her up and coming look book (published later this year across the country) but I thought I would share it with you guys too as I just LOVE the tattoos.

I fell in love with them when I lived in India but henna tattoos aren't all about the typical bridal Bollywood look (although we all love those too). 

Do you remember Chanel catwalk collection 2010? Thats what I'm talking about. Obviously there are plenty of transparent ready-to-wear tatts (some of them better that the others) but you cannot replace the authentic henna ones. Pavan does it her way - combining East and West. 

She did tons of fabulous work already- fashion shows, editorials and projects with the Sugarbabes and Alesha Dixon. 

So, if you ever fancy spicing up your party outfit - Pavan's your girl.

Oh yes! I couldn't resist coming back from LA with some proper cool nails. They were painted using an airbrushing technique, which means just 20 minutes and job done! I think the guy that runs the place  - David (pictured) - is a genius with the digits. Definitely worth looking up if you're heading out west. Now I'm back and they're still going strong... but I'm struggling to find a good substitute nail place in London. Any suggestions?

pink hair

I loved pink hair last year. But this year- I'm totally obsessed with it! LOVE LOVE LOVE

(♥ Scroll down to see my attempt at adopting the pink look ♥) 

I made one attempt to join the pink parade last Christmas, but it was just for a celeb themed party, so it wasn't permanent...

This year I'm definitely trying dip-dye! It's a scorching hot trend right now, and I don't think I can resist giving it a go. What do you reckon? More pictures to follow soon...

♥ UPDATE ♥

My favourite pink haired lady - Charlotte Free has just been confirmed to be the new face of  Maybelline New York! Wow- I cannot wait to see the campaign.

To announce their new face - clever people at Maybelline recruited P'trique the men behind 'Shit Fashion Girls Say'. Check this one out- it's brilliant!
