I just happened to pass by this crochet exibition. It’s not often that one comes across a crochet exibition – this is the first one I’ve ever seen and I just had to go in. It’s Olek’s first UK exibition as she’s based in New York. The exhibition took 6 months to prepare. You have to look closely to see all the objects as everything has a camouflage effect. It’s a small busy space with quite a provactative title "I do not expect to be a mother but I do expect to die alone".



Tony’s Gallery – 68 Sclater Street unitl March 23rd 2012. Wednesday through Sunday, 11am-7pm

St Martin’s Lane Hotel had it’s summer party last night. In London it’s important to celebrate summer as it may only last a moment. It’s been a week of summer parties and this one had delicious pink Chambord cocktails and yummy brownies. I’ve alway been fond of the Morgans Hotel Group. I stayed at the Hudson Hotel in New York when It first opened and I had just started as a stylist so I just have lots of good memories of their hotels.

Naturally one of the party rooms had a bed in it and everyone was in bed at some point having their photo taken!

A few nights ago, I was invited to the opening of a new NYC flagship store for ultra cool cosmetic company NARS. The new store is located at 413 Bleecker Street. It’s a great area for a shop to be placed in Manhattan as its on the same street as Marc Jacobs and Sex & the City famed cupcake emporium – Magnolia Bakery. Some of NARS iconic products are Orgasm Blusher (a coral infused with gold shimmer), Jungle Red Lipstick (a super sexy retro red) & Body Glow (a golden shimmer body oil). I also like to carry a bottle of NARS eye makeup remover in my makeup kit. It’s fab at taking everything off the eye lid with out leaving a sticky residue, so you can easily apply eye shadow on the lid straight after. A must stop and shop destination spot for anyone visiting NYC.
