band crush: blouse

It’s kind of an achievement when I find a good band myself without clicking suggested artists on Spotify as sad as that sounds. The self titled debut is just a hazy. Picture a Polaroid photo as soon as it comes out of the camera, you know that dreamy hazy shot? That’s what the record sounds like.  It seems to just capture my imagination perfectly with those murmuring vocals [Charlie Hilton] and chilly synths. I kind of think of Warpaint when I listen to them... have a listen to the song below and you’ll see what I mean.

The lo-fi band come from Portland and was originally inspired to name their band Blouse because of a sign in a dry cleaners window and, for them, it suited them perfectly.

I think it’s clear they are inspired by 1980s pop and aim to recreate that essence in each track.

Have a listen to my favourite track off the album. Hope you enjoy it X

Chanel took over the Grand Palais in Paris this week to showcase their Pre Fall 2012 collection Chanel Paris- Bombay. It completely captured the enchanting feeling of Indian glamour: gold and silver plates toppled with plenty of fruit, a circle runway,  white candles and bouquets placed elegantly on the tables, sari-inspired gowns that would drape to the floor of these models with their kohl black eyes.  Peter Phillips, creative director of make up at Chanel stated that he was going for a mysterious look yet keeping it modern and edgy.

The most talked about beautification was the new nail vanish Diwali which will be out this summer!

The collection features lavish fabrics flooded with jewels, metallics and shimmering embellishments that pay respect to the Indian culture; however, a modern twist is noticeable on these beautiful pieces. The collection features a variety of colours, neon colours and plenty of monochrome which we all know Lagerfeld to love. 

Favourites!

The past two days have been very christmassy indeed! On Tuesday I watched Elf and Love Actually with the flat mates and ate fatty food (yum) and yesterday I went to Winter Wonderland and browsed around Harrods with my friend Sophie.

Really excited for Christmas now.
