The month of July

July was another really busy month.

I started it by moving house! (Note the prominence of the bottle opener - couldn't find anything, but did find that!)

But at least I had good shoes!

My flatmate and I had dinner on a bookcase

Having lugged that last box up the stairs to our new house, I had time for a shower then went straight to the airport. Ugh!

I treated myself to an airport McDonalds - it's all glamour!

But when I got to Berlin I was happy :-)

Ah!

River cotch lunch break

I've no idea what this is, but I wanted it #MellowYellow

Story of my life!

Popped in to the Stussy pop-up store

I wish this was my front door :-)

Eastern block sunset

What a whip

This just makes me happy

Truck off

Broken symmetry

Back to London! Beautiful Big Ben

I was lucky enough to design some lovely new Nike iD Lunar Glaide 4s. (I went for mint green, zzuro blue and watermelon pink on black. Ooof!)

Then went to the sunny Isle of Wight to celebrate my friends' wedding

Cheese cake :-p

We had a little dance

Then it was straight to Copenhagen to write the city guide

I LOVE Copenhagen. x

Hung out with the crazy NBRO crew

Watched the sun rise & sunset on the same day. That was nice

Sooooo wanted to take these swans home

Copenhagen looking beautiful in blue

Then back to London for the start of the OLYMPICS!!!!

Greeted by an empty Heathrow airport. Spooky. (It seems the entire city was watching Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony)

I made it home at 11.57 exactly and raced up the stairs to wish my flatmate Happy Birthday. Three minutes later we ran up on to the roof of our building & watched the incredible Olympic Opening Ceremony fireworks display. What a way to start the games :-)

Feeling inspired by all the sporty stuff happening, I finally got to grips with my Nike Fuel Band

I'm virtually phobic of electricals, but I LOVE this. It's really satisfying to track your activity (or lack there-of)

Then I helped this little tiger celebrate his 3rd birthday! Happy Birthday Rufus! Xx

Story time

Scary masks

I told you it was a busy little month.

The month of June

This summer has been BUSY. A lot of work and a bit of fun. June was a long time ago, but this happened...

Got a little patriotic for the Queen's Jubilee

Celebrated a street party

Primrose Hill pavement patriotism

Had a little party (wearing a crown of course)

Got excited about the Olympics

Ate the best eggs in London. Butter baked eggs with sage mmmmm! (Leila's Shop, Calvert Avenue)

London got sunny

So I flew to Florence

Enjoyed a little Aperol spritz under the setting sun

Then set to work at my favourite tradeshow, Pitti Uomo

I was covering the best menswear brands at the show, and as ever - saw some beautiful collections. I love menswear!

Swung by the Stone Island 30 year anniversary exhibition.

It was an incredible archive exhibition, showing the brand's innovative work with materials throughout the years. I used to sell it at a store I worked in when I was 18, so I remember the styles - and the stories that accompanied them ;-)
