The oh so Great Gatsby.

Last night I was thrown back to the roaring twenties in Baz Luhrmann’s 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby.  The film is a dazzling take on a classic, the script, the detail, the costumes are absolutely spectacular.  And if you thought it couldn’t get any better, power couple Mr and Mrs Carter have hijacked the soundtrack. Carey Mulligan stunned as Daisy Buchananin in delicate lace and embellished outfits. Here are just a few of my favourite looks vs Etros art deco inspired vintage collection. 
So what are your waiting for, get your Gatsby on.

Khoo, What, Where?

She first graced our screens last year in The Little Paris Kitchen. Rachel Khoo is an adorable candy lipped British girl who sold out to the wonders and glories of Paris. There in her tiny apartment with her child sized oven and infamous white mixing bowl (which she never travels without) she opened the smallest restaurant with the longest reservation list. I am lucky enough to be visiting Paris this summer, along with my sister. The eurostar is booked and we are fixated on a traditional Parisian apartment, complete with wrought iron balcony on a charming rue! I have therefore been hooked on Miss Khoos blog, an inspiring and delectable guide to all things edible in the French capital. She checklists the best places to get your baguettes and fromage to the pastry shop of dreams. Her insight is quite literally melt in the mouth idealicious, I’m begging to think I may have to book an extra seat on the way home. 

It's a Diet Coke Thing.

As a full fat coke gal I was always a little green eyed of the sparkly diet coke cans and bottles adorned in various designs and patterns. I decided to take on the motto, if you can’t beat em’ join em’ and have collected these beauts for a few years now, starting with the Patricia Field SATC editions. So imagine my delight when I found out that my favourite designer Marc Jacobs took on the role as creative director of the brand. MJ I expect great things.

My First Mulberry.

I am an owner of a Mulberry. Finally. I have waited so long for this moment and at last, courtesy of the January sales, I bagged myself a Carter Camera in midnight blue. It’s a classic style, with gold hardwear and a double lock plaque, it’s simply divine. #MyheartbelongstoMulberry
