Lanvin Fall 2011

Another amazing Fall 2011 campaign video from Lanvin. I love how Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmerman and the two male model are not trained dancers, and it has a natural playful feel to it, rather than structured and slick choreographed routine. The element of dance really does bring a lot more to the clothes! There are some stunning hats and bags in there as well, if only I had the money...

The best bit? Alber Elbaz making a cameo appearance at the end. SHAKE THAT ASS!?

The other Kate's wedding

As I said in my last post I've been away for the past two weeks without internet access so I'm just catching up on all my usual blogs/websites and have come across the official Kate Moss wedding photos by Mario Testino, which are absolutely stunning. I'll leave you with my favs:

Another Grappa for the road

I'm back from Croatia and I can't stress enough how much of an amazing two weeks I had travelling round the country. I thought I would share a few of my favourite photos with you.

Beautiful

Cats cats cats

This is Jake, he stayed at my flat for the past week along with Talulah who was camera shy.

Madam X

Even though I'm not a massive fan of radio one, I do sometimes end up listening to radio one on my phone to and from work (normally at the same time as being engrossed in the Metro too)

Over the past few days they've had a competition called 'Superstar DJs' where the prize was for an unknown DJ to get a spot this Friday night in Ibiza alongside Radio one DJs such as Annie Mac and Pete Tong. Now to be fair some of the mixes really weren't my thing, as it was obviously across a broad spectrum of music taste. However, I really took to the one girl in the competition 20 year old Madam X, who ended up coming second overall.

Having done a bit of research on the internet I can see she is actually from Manchester and part of the Murkage Cartel, a massive collective in the Manchester music scene. I used to go to a night called Monday Murkage at uni so it all brings back good memories!

Anyway, back to Madam X. She did a great remix of the new Calvin Harris with another contestant (who went on to win). They blew the other team out of the water, who chose to rip of the major lazer Pon De Floor beat (that Beyonce also sampled recently). I've posted Madam X and her team mates mix below, see what you think.

Here is another longer mix for you as well, keeping it in check with her grimy roots but adding literally too many genres for me to try and name.....I mean bird is the word is even in there?! At certain parts there are debatable fades and shifts but that does not take away from the overall vibe.

Go ahead and check out her Sound Cloud and Facebook page and at only 20 years old, she has potential to go far
