Natural&Organic Products at Olympia gets me back into chewing Gum only GLEE gum of course!









































A beautiful sunny day always is a good start to thinking about what you put on your skin and into your body.

It was a glorious day in London and my body and me went to Olympia in search of the latest organic products. I think every person in London and outside was thinking the same it was PACKED.

These are some of my favourites TODAY;-

The Source toothbrush  is made from recycled Dollar bills,flax fiber or recycled wood that has been
blended with recycled polypropylene. They have replaceable heads that last at least 3 months and the handles are designed for either left or right hand users & made to keep forever. The Radius range also boasts travelling cases in 4 different colours which are made from 50% recycled plastic  for toothbrushes,soap,razor,condom small and full tampon.  Plus bestus of all  the products are manufactured and designed  in a solar powered facility in Kutztown PA.

The Yes baby box new product launched by the organic masters of lubricant to help couples conceive.
To my horror I learned that traditional lubricants kill sperm, so the pack contains 2 lubricants one sperm friendly and the other vagina friendly. Since 70% of couples experience vaginal dryness when trying to conceive Yes baby has been formulated to great the ideal  scenario! Thank god! Yet another thing that I WAS NEVER TOLD!

Joyous by Antipodes is a  Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum. It fantastically restores elastin and collagen and contains all these goodies, Himalayan goji, New Zealand Blackcurrant  and Raspberry seed oil, Hibiscus and Kiwi oil. It feels gorgeous and smells even better! And my poor skin was screeching for it!

Dirtypretty all the way from BIRMINGHAM for one week at Mswandas POP UP






















Dirtypretty designer(above) and other fabulous upcycling talent like RoundLondon and QueenieandTed are holding court at the Fabulous Misswandas at 3-5 Whitechapel road E1 together with Sweetnotions. The latter being the purveyors of my latest handbags
at the ridiculous prices of £10 and £5.

Duly impressed with MsWandas pledge of only wearing vintage and upcycled for a whole year! Although only seen for a fleeting second she looked truly fab in her specially made silk 20`s dress.

Rewardrobe star Veronica Crespi is running one of the workshops throughout the week catch her if you can!

DisneyRollerGirl and LibertyLondonGirl at FBC today








































FBC member Navaz Baltiwalla aka DISNEYROLLERGIRL (DRG)  and FBC member Sasha Wilkins aka LIBERTY LONDON GIRL. After talk at FBC which really was very well attended although I did arrive terribly unfashionably late something did stick in my head and has been taken seriously on board which was Liberty London Girl saying that she always did a press release!

Airbourne with JUNKY STYLING



















Return to the catwalk of the glorious girls and boys at JunkyStyling.

Take off promptly started at 19.30 with the Models pounding the catwalk to music from DJ Hudge,  hair by Declan at Andrew Barton and make up by Green People.

Spring designs were presented together with the Ju.St limited edition of Autumn Winter 2011 and classic junky styles.

Mad about the red, longer than the present trend of midcalf, sweater dress in kaleidoscope of pringlesque patchwork.  Also fantasizing about wearing all their breeches, so brilliantly tailored , even my slight bum would look like a glorious rendering of JLO`s. And then of course the cat suits finally after years of jealously ogling at the men’s, the female version tumbled onto the catwalk in every hue and combination imaginable..

I cant forget KRT jewels lovely recycled glass collection precious, strong and forever sexy.
Lupe wants the lot..

Now the hard bit , as  I mentioned to a fellow fan ...money to buy them!

A big thankyou to Amelia Gregory of Ameliagregorymagazine.com who provided me with pics when my camera didnt work again.

I finally meet Prince THE BLOGGER - at the Hospital club!




















Having followed blogger Prince Cassius for a while! Finally managed to catch him at Trousers London Press show at The Hospital Club today! I guess it would be where he would be hanging out . Since really `The best dressed man in town` has a canny eye for a good cut and Trousers Londons jeans are just the best.

The Wondrous Jeff Garner and Prophetik - Artist Wonderment show



































This show is always the most amazing ever, not surprising when you cross a published poet and a truly talented designer! Jeff Garners Artist Wonderment  show is `inspired by the court of Louis XV, when art became frivolous, a slave to consumers, diseased of romantic snobbery,pretending to be what they are not. The season exudes the freedom from the pretense of being what we would become fleeing from egotism into the wonderment of an artist`
Ripped silks and organic velour are juxtaposed with 150year old southern quilts from Garners grandmother!

Thick and heavy hemp skirts vi for our attention with the glorious pants,breeches and pantaloons shown on both men and women!
Colours are earth based hues of white ,black chainmail plum violet deep scarlet and burgundy! a true festival champetre!

LIBERTY should just grab the whole collection its AMAZING!
