GLITTERATI

I am pretty terrible at taking off chipped nail varnish and so I avoid wearing it most of the time. Luckily this transparent glittery nail vanish from Topshop doesn't show up when it chips. Wearing it makes me feel as though I have ten disco balls on my fingers.

GRAZIA ITALY'S BLOG OF THE DAY

Yesterday we were lucky to have been chosen as Grazia Italy's Blog of the Day. 

Here is a dodgy Google Translate of the article:

Helen Glory is a blog run by two girls: Claudia and Helen Frances Glory. A"duo" with a long history of friendship behind. They met twenty years ago in a primary school in Camden, England, and their friendship has continued and grown since then. On their blog there from 2010 show pictures of their style and look of newspapers, travel pictures, or events to be attended and small do-it-yourself projects. The aim is to have fun without taking itself too seriously. Sometimes they delight also trying to recreate the look of certain films. The shots are deliberately low-budget, often snapped at home, together with the objects of their everyday life. Maybe it's also why Helen and Frances communicate an innate sympathy and simplicity. (Erica Baldi)

MUJI SPREE

Muji have certainly got it right when it comes to clean living. A place for everything and everything in its place. I couldn't resist these transparent perspex pots for my jewellery and the gauze / pvc pencil cases which I will use as clutches. The best thing was that it all came to under £20!

HAPPY FRIDAY # 6

Enough said.

NEW BALANCE ARMY

I do love my trusty New Balance and I keep seeing more and more people with them out and about. Mostly, they seem to be on the feet of fashionable men round the East London area but I'm sure more girls will start wearing them soon. Check out the lovely Zoé of Lightning Factory in her blue pair. Until I get more recruits for the cause I will have to be my own New Balance Army.

HELEN GLORY IN PLAYING FASHION

A Helen Glory Garland was featured in the recent issue of the Ukrainian magazine Playing Fashion. Sadly, we did not receive the credit for it. If you would like to buy the garland featured in the shoot or a bespoke colourway of your choice, you can visit the shop by clicking shop here.

FUNNY BONES

I love browsing museum and gallery shops for random well-designed objects and I nearly always walk out with an unnecessary moleskine sketchbook and tonnes of postcards that I will dot around my room. Today I went to the Brain exhibition at the Wellcome Trust and found these amazing socks in the gift shop. I don't know if I'll have the guts to wear them in public though.

SUPER FREAKY GIRLS

This dress up shoot was inspired by the freaky looks we have seen on the catwalks for both Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter '12. It was a great chance to go crazy and indulge in bold combinations of patterns and texture. This is so different to our normal style but it was fun to try out anyway. We particularly enjoyed the colourful my-little-pony frizzy hair of Jeremy Scott F/W 12 and created our own version with the help of our trusty friend Katherine. She kindly took the photos too.
