I buy magazines and don't ever get time to read them. I won't go shopping for ages in a bid to save money, then one day i'll just go crazy and spend thousands at a time. I'm a hopeless cook... I never really watch TV - there's too much else to do! I've played the piano my whole life but kind of stopped lately, so I'm missing it. I love travel - especially Europe - but go on crazy spending sprees whenever I do. I'm one of the Fashionising team so ask me questions if you get stuck. I'm always happy to meet new people.

Yesterday

Wrote 'Daul Kim: 1989-2009'

Today the fashion world mourns the death of Korean model Daul Kim - who, at 20 years of age, was found dead yesterday.

Daul was well known to the fashion industry for her striking looks and quirky sense of humour, and garnered a cult following on her blog which she made a final post to titled 'say hi to forever' before her death.

Wrote 'Out now: 2010 Pirelli calendar pictures'

Brazilian beaches. Terry Richardson. Naked models. It's not exactly rocket science to conclude that the release of the 2010 Pirelli calendar would be a much anticipated event.

And so it's finally here; and the results are a little more polished and bright than Richardson's famed style of raw photography.

Wrote 'Timeless: supermodels still bare all for fashion'

What do Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Helena Christensen have in common? Yep, they're all from the original supermodel flock; they're all still smoking hot; and they're all being brought back out of retirement to help us through the recession. Last but not least, they're all naked on the latest cover of i-D magazine.

And by naked we of course mean in nothing but thigh high boots; it is in the name of fashion, after all.

Wrote 'Bleached eyebrows: blonde eyebrows fashion trend'

It's easy to forget that eyebrows have trend cycles of their own; albeit cycles that move much more slowly than other beauty, hair and fashion trends.

While the full and natural, yet still maintained, style of brows have been on-trend for quite some time, the 'in fashion' shape certainly hasn't trended towards pencil thin eyebrows. And that's not about to change. A natural style and shape remains the style to have.

What's changing is the colour. Look hard and you'll see that bleached blonde eyebrows are currently a beauty trend. While no one should go to the extreme of shaving them off and having no eyebrows at all, those bleached to be peroxide blonde are now amongst the growing list of 2010 fashion trends.

Wrote 'Motel: simply sexy dresses'

Motel is a label that does a particular thing, and does it fantastically well... And that thing is simple, sexy, bang-on-trend dresses. If you peruse their upcoming High Winter 2009 collection, you'll see exactly what we mean. Bodycon dresses in houndstooth and leopard print are the type that need no accessorising to make them stand out. Some of the dress styles are backless or one-shouldered; some are rock-chic supreme, some more elegant twists on the modern little-black-dress.

The thing that really makes Motel a no-brainer are the reasonable price tags. Hit the Motel Rocks website and you can't help but stock up on a whole range of pieces to get you through the season without breaking the bank. Shopping spree heaven.

Wrote 'Bikinis and nudity in Madame Mode'

Featuring some of the most popular current bikini trends, Madame Mode magazine gives us this swimwear shoot. As well as some striking cutaway bikinis and monokinis there's also some great vintage-inspired pieces.

Wrote 'Chanel Iman as Minnie Mouse, Vogue Germany'

It's the close cousin of the bunny ears trend; and mickey mouse ears are proving nearly as popular of late. Model Chanel Iman does her best Minnie Mouse impersonation, wearing bow headbands and mouse ears, for the December 2009 issue of Vogue Germany.

Beautifully shot in black and white, this photo series of Zuzana Gregorova is one of the less in-your-face examples of nudity in fashion that we've seen of late.

Wrote 'Abbey Lee Kershaw: Where The Wild Things Are'

Was ever there a sweeter Wild Thing? Abbey Lee Kershaw endears herself to us even more when she replaces Max in the wolf suit and becomes Queen of the Wild Things for a day.

And while we admit that Dazed & Confused let us down a little with their urban and rather mundane backdrops - particularly when Sendak's imaginative jungles could have so much scope for creative interpretation - we're still mesmerised by both Abbey and the styling. Pamela Love's collaboration with Opening Ceremony (of which this fantastic Wild Things shoot was born) yielded the horned headpieces. Both ferocious and adorable at the same time, the horns carry a fantastical charm akin to that of bunny ears; and add the crowning touch to outfits of Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Isabel Marant and more.

Wrote 'Wild Things in Black Book Magazine'

Let the wild rumpus start...

Looks like Opening Ceremony weren't the only ones to be inspired by the recent film adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are. 'Primal' furs and untamed hair are the main elements of this shoot from the November 2009 issue of Black Book. Titled simply 'Wild Thing', and with its forest scenery and scrawling font, we suspect Black Book was also bitten by the Maurice Sendak/Spike Jonez bug.

Wrote 'Abbey Lee Kershaw divine in Vogue Italia'

Abbey Lee Kershaw has fast become one of my favourite models. And while she can work the grungy, sexy, devil-may-care thing like its nobody's business, she proves that striking beauty is also her forte. Wearing feathers, wide-leg pants, and floor-length gowns - and with a dash of tasteful nudity for good measure - Abbey Lee looks the classic screen siren in a shoot for Vogue Italia.

Wrote 'Patterned / printed pants: women's fashion trend'

From tailored trousers to skinny cigarette pants, to ripped jeans and leather leggings; over the past years pants have predominantly been worn in block colours. What's more, they'd become something of a basic: frequently worn as a subtle item, while attention was focussed on increasingly-detailed tops, jackets, dresses, and skirts.

In 2010, pants are getting their own back.

As one of the Spring 2010 fashion trends printed and patterned pants are bringing us a whole range of new wardrobe options.

Sick of seeing beautiful models naked? Well bad luck if you are, because nudity in fashion is, if anything, continuing to grow as a trend. And for those of you not bothered by a bit of skin, here's a rather gorgeous shoot of Missy Rayder nude for TAR Magazine.

My Style

I love all different styles and work them in with my moods and the occasion. I love designer, but also picking up vintage finds. I don't like wearing my favourite clothes to work because then I think of them as "work" clothes and it kinda ruins them for me.

I have an obsession with antique and vintage jewellery... I much prefer the character, charm and quality of something old and well crafted. I have heaps of pairs of boots - flat ones, heeled ones, cowboy boots, knee-high boots, leather ones, suede ones... for some reason I can't get enough pairs!

Favourite Labels

Paul Smith Women, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Aquascutum, Tom Ford... many others!

Best Feature

My female logic ;)

Interests

Shopping, Socialising, Horse Riding, Travelling, Reading, Movies, Playing Piano, Going Out, Fashion (obviously...)

Hates

Lack of etiquette. When political correctness goes mad.

Music

I'm not tied to genres.
I love: pretty melodies
well constructed harmonies
interrupted cadences
music that's a bit raw
interesting lyrics
sexy beats
music that makes me feel like all of a sudden I can breathe

I don't like:
overly soppy ballads
cliche lyrics
lazy 'filler' songs on albums
house music (generally speaking)
remakes and covers that are worse than the original

Movies

A few random favourites: Blade Runner, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, The Usual Suspects, The Sting, anything by Tim Burton, Chinatown, Bond movies (Roger Moore is my Bond), Hitchcock films. Many, many more.

Television

House.

Reading

Too many books to list, but I particularly love classics. Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, H.G Wells...
I'm a big Poe fan - I love that you can read short stories over and over again and not get tired of them. I love stories that are a bit dark.
I'm a closet Philip K Dick fan (or not so closet, anymore.)
For magazines I love Tatler & Vogue UK.

Smoking

Don't Smoke

Drinking

Drink Socially

Ideal Night Out

Anything where I can dress for the occasion - I love dressing for a black tie event as much as for dinner or a movie.

Partied & Dined With

I've met the Queen, Prince Phillip, Edward and Charles. I'm collecting royalty.

Want To Party & Dine With

Not sure right now... Please stay tuned.
