Santo Wines - Santorini


Santo Wines was immediately recommended by my best friend Emily when I told her I was going to Santorini with Isabella. Once arriving at Aqua Luxury Suites, the staff there also highly recommended it. 'Santo Wines' is in Pirgos we took a taxi there on our second afternoon.

In The Frow LFW Style Day Five


This is the final style post from the last day of LFW last month. It was such a pleasure to work with Victoria from 'In The Frow' exclusively for LFW this season. Hopefully in September we may even be able to stretch our fashion week coverage abroad as well as in London, fingers crossed! This outfit was one of my favourite looks of Victoria's. Which was your favourite of Victoria's LFW looks?

I hope you're all having a wonderful Easter weekend, I am spending mine with family and best friends. Hot cross buns are being devoured in abundance, Ollie and I even tried one with bacon this morning. Not something you think would go together, but don't knock it till you've tried it! Tomorrow is going to be dedicated to eating copious amounts of chocolate. I've been working on a updating my blog, with a redesign, which I'm looking forward to getting live very soon. Hopefully on Monday if all goes to plan. Enjoy the long weekend!

In The Frow LFW Style Day Four


Day Four of LFW was very exciting. The Burberry show was scheduled to start promptly at 1pm at Kensington Gardens, opposite the Royal Albert Hall. I met up with Tanya Burr before the show to shoot her in a gorgeous Burberry Trench (see the full look on Tanya's blog). We then caught a taxi to the venue. There was such an aura of excitement surrounding the venue. Watching stars like Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Ellie Goulding, Naomi Campbell and one of my favourites photographers Mario Testino enter the show space. Burberry is always one of the most hotly anticipated shows of LFW season.
I met up with Victoria after the show, it was wonderful to bump into the lovely Tamara too. Day's like this really make me appreciate whole heartedly that I am able to follow my passion and dream as my career. Victoria's article to accompany these photos discusses 'Not giving up', striving to make your dreams come true. I am a firm believer in working hard to achieve your goals. I am so thankful that I have had so many incredible oppurtunites over the past year to help me further my portfolio and career. I will continue to work harder than ever now in order to keep my work progressing working with new people and creating bigger aspirations than ever before.

In The Frow LFW Style Day Three


These photos were also shot on day three of LFW just after the Topshop show. Topshop's showspace was at the 'Tate Britain' which until that day I had not visited before. I met up with Victoria and Carly before the show for a quick bite to eat. Whilst they were at the show I had a wander around the gallery, and I was amazed to see so many famous pieces of art hanging on the walls next to one another. Naively didn't realise they'd been in this gallery. Masterpieces such as 'Ophelia' and 'The Lady of Shallot' hanging right in front of you, I will definitely have to make another visit one weekend to take it all in properly. The architecture of the building itself is also beautiful! Whilst waiting for Victoria after the show had ended I was stood next to the entrance inside the building. There was such a hub of excitement and buzz around the event as stars like Olivia Palermo exited the show. London you really do have it all!

Santorini Day One


Our trip to Santorini already feels like a dream! Looking back at the photos I can hardly believe I was standing right there shooting that incredibly beautiful island. I think the feeling of a past adventure instantly fills you with wanderlust and the desire to explore and see more! Whilst Isabella and I were in Santorini we both had a strong feeling it wouldn't be our last visit.
These photos were all shot on our first day walking from our hotel 'Aqua Luxury Suites' in Imerovigli and we hiked along the coastal pathway to Fira, the capital of Santorini. The walk there was a lot easier than the walk back as it was predominately down hill, but we could hardly complain as every turning brought us yet another breathtaking view. Lots of the shops and restaurants were closed as we were visiting out of season (peak season: June to September) but we could both tell how busy and bustling the cobbled streets would be in the summer months. We stopped by the main square and grabbed frozen yoghurt which we took to the cliff edge, sat down and enjoyed the view. Everywhere we looked there was another beautiful photo opportunity, so grab a cuppa and scroll on through.
Photos of me kindly shot by Isabella

In The Frow LFW Style Day Three


Victoria from 'In The Frow' and I shot on Day Three of LFW before she attending the Anya Hindmarch show. To accompany these photos, Victoria has written an article entitled 'Everyone is Human' in which she discusses an event online that recently happened and what she has learnt from it. This follows on from a previous article she'd written called 'How I deal with hate online'. I urge you to go and read both articles as Victoria makes some really great points which left me feeling inspired and got me thinking...

In The Frow LFW Style Day Two


Today’s post is from LFW last month. I shot exclusively with Victoria from ‘In The Frow’ for the entire duration of LFW. Victoria’s written a series of articles to accompany her London Fashion Week Style post which I seriously recommend you go and check out. That girl knows her stuff, she has a PhD in Fashion don’t you know!
I met with Victoria on Saturday morning of LFW at L’Oreal Paris Studio Pro pop up styling bar whilst she was having her hair styled before going to her first show of the day, Julien McDonald. We managed to find this gorgeous regal location close to the show space. I think this look has to be one of my favourites of Victoria's from LFW this season. I shall be sharing the rest of Victoria’s gorgeous LFW looks on my blog over the next week so keep your eyes peeled!

Reiss Loungewear in Santorini


This loungewear look is the second instalment from Isabella's and I collaboration with Reiss whilst we were in Santorini, you can see the first post here. This loungewear set is so soft and adds a sense of luxury and quality to a cosy and comfy outfit. Isabella ended up wearing this most mornings for breakfast, I certainly don't blame her I just wish I had my own set. The neutral grey colour is great as it means the set can be worn as individual pieces and easy to match with other pieces of clothing for a comfy and casual look. Ideal for breakfast on our incredible terrace at Aqua Luxury Suites but also great for weekend brunch with girl friends in London.
Isabella and I would sit out most mornings whilst staying at Aqua Luxury Suites, and begin to edit our photos from the previous day. We also liked to listen to music and I'd fill out my lovely Kikki K 'Travel Notes' journal. Breakfast every morning was such a luxurious treat, I liked greek yoghurt prior to this trip but fallen in love with it all over again for breakfast and have had serious cravings since being back in London. Also wishing I could have the incredible freshly pressed orange juice, perfectly sweet in London too.
Are you enjoying my posts from Santorini? I'd love to hear your feedback as always.

Aqua Luxury Suites


Isabella and I landed in Santorini at sunrise which was not the original plan, as we were supposed to land the previous evening, but due to high winds we had to stay the night in Athens and catch a flight the following morning. The sunrise we saw during the car journey to the hotel was a small beautiful snippet of what was to come...

Eight Hour Studio in Santorini



Happy Sunday all! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. I landed back in London on Friday morning which felt very surreal; such a stark contrast from the paradise of Santorini. I half expected to wake up back in Santorini on Saturday morning, alas one can dream!

Evening Look in Satorini with Reiss

I can hardly believe I’m sat here in Santorini writing this post! Isabella and I have been working on a range of collaborations with Reiss whilst we’ve been here. This evening's look is so sleek and stylish, it would be ideal for a formal event or romantic evening.
Yesterday we moved hotels from Aqua Luxury Suites to La Maltese. We have found so many locations across this beautiful island, but actually shot these photos at our hotel. The backdrop is so stunning and the colours here are so vivid and vibrant, I did mention this is my previous post but I just can’t get over the depth of the colours here. It’s only when we download our photos from the day that I see how incredible the photos have turned out. During the day it has been so bright, I can barely keep my eyes open without sunglasses! So to shoot a range of images, come back to our room in the evening and browse our photos from the day has been a total luxury. I really can’t begin to explain how surreal this trip has been. What an incredible experience, with so many photos to share with you all!

Santorini with American Eagle


Hello from Santorini! Isabella and I are having such an incredible time shooting this beautiful island. Honestly it's paradise! Santorini has been on my bucket list for quite a few years, it's incredible to be here and see the sights I've stared at on Pinterest for so long! The colours are so vivid and vibrant, and we're looking back through our photos completely stunned at how beautiful everywhere looks.
On Sunday we headed out for an explore and went to 'Santo Wines' which my best friend Emily had recommended. Top recommendation for sure, I'll have a further post about it on here very soon.
The winery also made for a beautiful location for this American Eagle look Isabella was wearing. American Eagle has been a family favourite brand for many years. We'd always be sure to make a visit when we were on holiday in the States years ago. So when the brand opened stores in the UK last year I was so chuffed to be able to get my AEO fix in the UK. I love how Isabella's put together this stylish basic look adding gorgeous luxurious accessories. Be sure to check out more of our Santorini adventures on Isabella's blog and on our instagram feeds.

Burberry Thomas's Cafe - In The Frow


Earlier this week in the lead up to Mother's day I shot this very special collaboration with Victoria from 'In The Frow' and Burberry. We headed to Burberry's cafe, 'Thomas's', who are offering a beautiful afternoon tea package for Mother's Day, along with a whole host of special gifts perfect for spoiling your Mum absolutely rotten. From incredible bouquets, 'Burberry is Bloom' a pop up florist in Thomas's with London florist 'Rebel Rebel', to monogrammed gifts including the 'My Burberry' fragrance and a whole range of beautiful leather goods. The stationary lover within me had to cry out, trying to stop myself from spending every penny! There's nothing I'd rather be doing tomorrow than spoiling my Mum and reminding her just how special she is! However if you read my last post, you'll know that I'm currently in Santorini on a trip shooting with the lovely Isabella. More on this in new posts very soon.

Lately...

After ending February with a stinking cold and a sickness bug, I was ready for March to begin and for spring to come alive. It's only the 3rd of March (writing this) yet I already have a very positive outlook for the month ahead. I have a few shoots already lined up which I'm looking forward to. I also shot a very special post with Victoria from In The Frow and Burberry which you can see here. I'm so pleased with how our concept together with Burberry came to life. I'll have the full post up on my blog very soon.
