Here are the final images from my very last shoot of 2011 – I wanted to get shots that were more creative and that expressed my personality.  I collaborated with the lovely and talented stylist Charlotte Eve and the equally talented Dan Sims playing around with lots of different styles … and we had loads of fun in the process. Experimenting with looks is one of my favourite things about being a girl

OUTTAKES!!!!

I’ve recently come across some really cool clothing websites that I’d like to share with you – Enjoy!

BAMBI AND MANSON: www.bambiandmanson.co.uk

Bambi&Manson is a label run by Polly O’Connell and boyfriend Jim Cubitt – You can even have your shorts custom made (how fab’s that).  I received a Cru-ci fix me pair for Xmas pressies – Here’s me out in them in Thailand…

Next on my wish list are these Scarlett pants – I shall be rockin’ them out in Ibiza this sumer

 BLACK MILK: www.blackmilkclothing.com

I am a HUGE legging fan.  I’m literally never out of them and Black Milk have some fierce designs.

I  WANT THEM ALL!!  FOR LOVE AND LEMONS:  www.forloveandlemons.com

I adore their Spring 2012 Collection shots…

The Contemporary clothing company For Love and Lemons was started up by childhood friends Gillian Mahin and Laura Hall. They specialise in blended fabrics that combine elasticity, durability and comfort, featuring custom detailing and finishes.  Celeb’s including Ashley Tinsdale have been snapped in FL&L pieces.  ”Its the start of a fashion revolution for the free spirit!”

I visited Japan last winter for the very first time and WOW I fell in Love with the Fashion!!  The detail that goes into every item is refreshing.  Everything is unique and fun.  Needless to say I bought A LOT of clothes whilst I was out there.  My favourite places to shop were Harajuku (the street fashion is so wacky) and 109 department store in Shibuya district in Tokyo.  I also adored the Fashion editorials in Japanese teen magazines – they were so much more fun and energetic than what I’ve seen before (below are some of my favourite magazine cut outs that I collected during my trip).

I was so excited that I arranged a photo shoot with Celebrity & Fashion Photographer Joseph Sinclair (www.josephsinclair.c0m) as soon as I landed back in London to recreate this Japanese style.  These were the results

THE JOURNEY BEGINS IN BANGKOK …

I L.o.v.e.d the Tuk tuk’s in Thailand (their extremely dangerous version of a taxi – but much more fun).  I shopped in Siam square – the markets there are great and CHEAP.  I bought rings, rings, more rings…and a top.  The nightlife in Bangkok is crazy.  The names of these bars say it all! I have to admit it but I went to go and see one of their infamous Ping Pongs shows!!

Lunch at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel…

Over looking the City … Goodbye Bangkok.

KOH SAMUI – ISLAND OF BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS

The excitement when I saw the first street monkey was insane – I squealed so loud!!  I must have had cuddles and pictures with 15 little monkeys during my trip (I couldn’t resist).  The first one must have been excited too as he peed all down my arm!!

Safari Jungle Trek was super amazing… Feeding tigers and treking on elephants does not happen everyday!!!!  Our elephant was named Beem and he’d been with his treker for 9 years, their memories are so good that they can only have the one guide. 
 
NEW YEAR AT KOH TAO

Happy New Year from Koh Tao!!!!!  It’s only a small Island but I recommend it.  Beautiful green sea and sunset at Lotus bar is a must.  There are loads of great restaurants too.  No more pictures from here as too much Tequila was consumed at the beach party to celebrate the beginning of 2012

KRABI… Welcome to Paradise.

This guy rocked – How cute is he!!!!  He sang Bob Marley ‘One Love’ for me 3 times – one of my favourite songs!  We went in the ’60′s bar’ every night we were at Krabi – they had a different band or acoustic singer on every night (thai style) – Go check it out if you’re on the Island.

Now for the main event…. The Phi Phi Island boat trip.

Bamboo Island.  White sand + Perfectly clear sea = Heaven.

Me on Maya Beach where ‘The Beach’ movie was filmed with lots of greenery …

Stopped off for a snorkel at Pileh Bay – Now this place is STUNNING…

… Unreal.

WEHEYYYYYYYY … Scooter fun!!!!!!!!!

LAST STOP PHUKET:  The Land of Lady Boys…

I introduce to you, the cutest animal on the planet – The Windy Monkey.  His name is Lucky xxx   This second monkey is Lisa – What an absolute beauty.  She started crying when I had to give her back <3  I also met an Iguana who decide to climb onto my head and get tangled in my hair.

Some of the animal madness I saw … That is a fried cockroach in my hand – they eat these out of choice

I Loved the extreme contrasts in each part of Thailand.  I saw the most breathtakingly beautiful scenes and also the dirtiest, unruly places I’ve ever seen.  The experience of the whole trip was fascinating.  The travelling inbetween Islands was an experience in itself…

What I loved most about Thailand is how free spirited and easy going the place is and the people are.  You become at one with nature – I even shared my bathroom in Koh Tao with some insects … This would not be happening in England

Thanks for reading… I hope you enjoyed!

I popped over to Aegis Event for the launch of UUNIQUE Phone cover Collection hosted by the lovely Miss Kelly Rowland, she was such a sweetie and very beautiful.  She showed me her fury leopard print iphone case.  Was quite bizarre chatting with her with my big northern accent!  She wore these AMAZING Louboutin daffodil Swarovski crystal heels – Tad jealous!  The second picture is with Bluey Robinson one of my favourite UK vocalists who performed at the event and his guitarist Christian.  Check out his new single ‘Coming Back’ on iTunes (I recommend the acoustic version).
