Pops of neon are the biggest trend for spring 2013. If fluoro fills you with fear then we hope these photos we help you see it’s easy to add in a bit here and there!
A splash of neon in your jewellery or accessories is our favourite {and easiest} way to spice up your wardrobe for this spring, but if you are feeling brave go for one key statement piece. Whether its fluoro yellow {our fave} hot pink, shocking orange or acid green, neon makes a fresh and fabulous look paired with black AND it is a great way to transition from the cold weather into something a little bit more Spring~like by using your winter staples!



How cool do these girls look? Pretty damn cool we say..!

Last night we were lucky enough to go along to the launch party of new book ‘Style Me Vintage Weddings‘.
The beautiful book is written by our friend Annabel from the fantastic wedding blog Love My Dress and is a real must for any bride who is having a vintage themed big day, or for anyone interested in all things vintage!
The stunning photography throughout includes styled shoots as well as real vintage weddings {and a star appearance from Alice’s mum & dad on their wedding day in 1978! See the below image} There are lots of handy hints and tips too, and mountains of vintage inspiration.
Available now to buy online, make sure you pick up your own copy soon!

A few photos of the night including our typewritten message to Annabel, the pretty decor, yummy cakes by Restoration Cake, giant lightbulb letters that WE WANT, and the lady herself talking infront of the large {and rowdy} crowd.

Today we are sharing photos of our lovely Belle & Bunty Bride Shirley.
Married last September at St. Brides Church, Shirley looked absolutely stunning in her Ivory Satin Belle Dress. She paired it with a veil from Sibo Designs for an impeccable look with lots of enviable tumbling waves. We love this series of photos ~ the mix of a more traditional ceremony setting contrasting against the city streets and London sights! We are sure there aren’t many couples that have Big Ben {and break dancers!} in the background on their wedding day!
Congrats to the happy couple! x









Cranberry Blue’s Melanie Helen planned this fabulous nuptial, and photographer Steve Shipman captured the big day.

London seems to be brimming with excellent exhibitions at the moment and one at the top of our list was the Man Ray Portraits!
We adore his work, so this was a must see for us, and the gallery had all of our favourites from the legendary photographer and painter. Man Ray captured the essence of Paris and New York, and later Hollywood. He knew the worlds of avant garde Paris in the 1920’s and 1930’s, and the golden ages of Hollywood in the 1940s and his photos perfectly epitomise those eras.
If you are lovers of those decades, just like us, then we’d definitely recommend a visit. Hurry though ~ the Man Ray Portraits are only here until the end of May!
Untitled (The Marquise Casati with Horses), 1935

Helen Tamaris, 1929

Dolores del Rio 1942, Helen Perdriat 1925

Lee Miller 1929, Le Violon d’ingres 1924
The Man Ray exhibition is at The National Portrait Gallery until 27th May 2013. Click HERE for info!
