A Pleasure Garden in your own home from Darkest Star at Coco de Mer

Voila the Pleasure pillow £300

Pleasure gardens were all the rage in the Victorian era, they were gardens open to the public
for strolling and listening to bands, some were a little more circumspect and played  home to harems and delightful exploits. So it was  with a little bit of intrepidation that I ventured into Coco de Mer  on Draycot place  to see the Darkest Star Pleasure Garden. I mean I know of the Coco de mer Salons who doesnt!

The Pleasure Pillow is luxury personfied, Darkest Star designer Sam Cook calls it ` Entry level bondage` for people who want to try a little bit of a  play at  bondage. Its amazingly beautiful and the silk orchid print is an art nouveau inspiration!
Sam is up for doing one off commission  pieces too. Now I wish, wish, and wish  that I would be the lucky lady to get one of those!

This supremely talented lady also created the beautiful dress below and some lovely chiffon bondage dog collar pieces exclusive to Coco de mer.

CRAFTY FOX MARKET FAIR 16th April Brixton + free entry

A rather hidden event but for those in the know its a treasure trove of locally designed pieces. Its actually sponsored by the craft event site etsy so there is going to be creatives in abundance!

As is the norm there will also be workshops such as the art of cup-cake decoration, cross stitching and brushing  up on your photography (much needed for me as, I really try getting a grip on picture taking for some good images on twitter!). Crafty Fox Tea Room will be the ideal place to do my  liquid lunch and there will be DJ’s , spinning some fun and funky tunes throughout the day.

Course I will be checking the Galavant jewellery store and saying hi to Sinead who has some amazing inspired vintage at rather incredulous prices. Oops might have let the cat out of the bag! But am sure will get to her before anyone else!

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 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

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.

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.
