A Sunday Kind of Love: Getting Back to Reality

Kat

May 20, 2012

After the whirlwind of the past fortnight, this week has been a bit of a... OK not 'downer' as such... but just, you know, a very normal one. Getting back from a long trip away invariably means that you have a mountain of work to climb when you return (and emails ahhh so many emails!) so in all honestly I haven't done much except playing hostage to my computer and make grilled cheese sandwiches for tea (domestic goddess? oh yes!)

A Sunday Kind of Love: Rooftop Dance Parties, Brooklyn Bridge Paparazzi & Extreme Cinemaing

Kat

May 13, 2012

After the aceness of last week I wasn't sure my New York adventure could get any better...oh how wrong I was! On Monday we waved goodbye to The Lasertron's (boohoo) and Gala & I then basically spent the whole week distracting each other. I'd love to move here one day, but if I did I fear neither of us would ever get any work done! We had too much fun doing things like this...

A Sunday Kind of Love: Hanging Out with The Darlings & The Lasertrons in NYC!

Kat

May 6, 2012

The last 3 days have been a whirlwind of excitement and adventure as Gareth & I have meandered around New York City with our friends The Darlings and The Lasertrons...wow our surname is so boring! We've been a right motley crue of chaos with late night pizza dates, neon pedicures, being papped in Tompkins square, flower crowns, florescent skirt purchases, passing out on sofas (yeah...that was me) and shopping til we dropped (sorry Gareth!)

A Sunday Kind of Love: LipSense/SheerSense Liquid Lip Colour

Kat

March 25, 2012

When shooting in Vegas, make up artist LaVey asked what I'd like on my lips, "bright pink please" was my reply (obviously!) "Well I've got something that will blow your socks off," she replied, "this stuff won't budge all day." And she wasn't kidding. When we wrapped shooting at 5.30pm the lip stain still looked exactly as it did when she applied it that morning. I'd eaten, drunk, talked, giggled...all in the desert heat, and this stuff was still there! Nope, I wouldn't have believed it myself if it wasn't me wearing it! Look at these photos if you're still not convinced...

Kat

January 22, 2012

This is how stupid my life is right now. Can someone please tell me how I got here and what planet I'm living on? Last week I hung out at The Dorchester...at a party hosted by wedding planner Mark Niemierko...for Darcy Miller, editor of Martha Stewart magazine...Oh and there were male models dressed as soldiers...not to mention the fact that I got to meet/chat to/be in the same room as to David Fielden, Charlotte Castigliano, Stephanie Allin, Sassi Holdford, Ritva Westenius, Suzanne Neville, Stewart Parvin, Phillipa Lepley, Elizabeth Emanuel, Bruce Oldfield and Johanna Heir. Name dropping? Moi? In fact I have nothing else coherent to say about it really except...HOW THE EFF DID I GET INVITED?!

A Sunday Kind of Love: Upper Street Launch A Range of Ballet Flats – Design Your Own Shoes!

Kat

January 15, 2012

If you've been reading the blog for a while, you will probably have heard all about Upper Street Shoes before. Last summer, they asked me if I wanted to design my very own pair of shoes using their online software and...well I wasn't going to say no to that was I? You can see the first pair I designed here. However when I received an email from the girls recently to let me know that they were launching a ballet flats range, I just about jumped out of my chair with glee! I do love the look of sky-high platforms, epic wedges and cute kitten heels, but oh how I suck at balancing and walking in them...I'm a little clumsy to say the least. Anyway, this was like music to my ears and when they asked if I'd again, like to design a pair myself, well I just about wet myself with excitement.

Kat

My friend and designer extraordinaire Tobi Hannah is just about to launch her Lara Hannah 2012 bridal collection and I've got the exclusive first showing of it on my blog. How cool?

A Sunday Kind of Love: We’re Going Through Changes…

Kat

November 20, 2011

Gareth has been a busy little bee this week. We have some pretty exciting new ideas for the blog (it's just a matter of him now implementing these grand plans, so watch this space over the next few months!) but this week he's been thinking about the bottom of the blog. Scroll down and take a look... Firstly, he's added page numbers for easier archive surfing (which I'm not entirely sure is actually a good thing, most of my early blog posts are SHOCKING!) He's also added social media links (now including Pinterest) to the footer of the blog. We've also added the much overdue subscribe/RSS button. You're welcome. Happy Sunday y'all!
