  • Teen Choice Awards 2015 | Red Carpet Round Up

    Here’s a bit of a colourful lift to get you out of that midweek funk! The Teen Choice Awards were held this past weekend in L.A. and there was plenty of California sunshine to accompany some fantastic red (or in this case blue) carpet looks on the night. Here are some of my favourites…

    Best Dressed Award | Zendaya Coleman

    There was once a time when I would’ve passed over Zendaya’s red carpet attire as simply alright. Nowadays she’s pulls out all the stops to stand out and for that I’m truly grateful, as we get fantastic looks like this. Too haute couture for the TCA’s? Who cares! I adore this Ashi Studio look which is all about that crop structured top. It’s bold and unexpected, yet has a subtle sophistication about it. Very few could pull this off, but Zendaya does it with a fierce and fiery attitude.

  • Travel | Rome Bucket List

    Guyssss my trip to Rome is exceedingly imminent! Though I’m heading out with the famalam, there’s no real plan set in stone. So let’s just say I’m hoping to hijack the trip and head on to a few of the places on the bucket list below…

    Palatino (Palatine Hill)

    I expect history when I head to Rome and nothing says history more than Palatino or Palatine Hill. It’s one of the most ancient parts of the city, the most central of Rome’s seven hills and where Romulus supposedly founded the city in 735BC. It was also home to many a Roman Emperor back in the day, as well as the ruins of the Roman Forum and Imperial Palace. I’ll be honest, I’m more of an Ancient Greek history nerd, but the thought of walking within the ruins of one of the greatest Empires known to man is pretty exciting.

    Villa Borghese & Gardens

    Snaps from Rome photo diaries are usually splashed with faded sepia and warm Summer tones, but the gardens of Borghese look like they’re a welcome respite from the Ancient Ruins of the city and offer a more refined side of the city. The museum also holds the reputation of being the ‘Queen of all private art collections’, playing host to pieces by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Bernini. The museum is currently displaying a some pieces by couturier Azzedine Alaia’s – Rihanna and Naomi Campbell are big fans.
