Graze Craze

You might have seen these little boxes around, I'm a bit behind with the craze but I recently jumped on the Graze box band wagon. If you haven't already heard of them, their a small company producing healthy, natural snacks, which are posted to you every week in a little box. With a choice of 4 nutritious selections out of hundreds, its part of the fun when opening the box to see what goodies await inside. 

They have plenty of offers and deals which make receiving these weekly treats all the more tempting. Your first graze box is half price, however if you know someone who's already bought one, they should have a voucher for you to get the 1st one free!

After creating your account on the website, you can then go through each of the snack boxes and choose which ones you don't like, to make sure you'll never receive them in your Graze.

If you decide you really like a particular snack after you've tried it, simply click the 'love' button, to ensure you'll get it more regularly! easy peasy! 

Below are all the yummy goodies I got in my first Graze Box. 

My particular favourite was the 'very nori-sh' crackers, spicy japanese rice crackers with seaweed bits! 

Each box aims to provide you with a few healthy snacks to get you through the day when your feeling peckish at 'biscuits-o-clock', if your feeling tempted simply reach into your box and nibble away!

If you fancy signing up, you can do here 

They have been featured in Grazia, Tatler magazine and many more, they are the perfect stylish snack!

Happy Grazing!

Birthday Wishlist No.1 - Lomography

Ok, apologies for being A-whol recently, but finishing Uni and going on holiday will make that happen I'm afraid! 

It's my Birthday in October, which may seem a little early to start making a wish list, but seeing as its my 21st, these things need to be planned! 

Some of these wishes may be a bit unrealistic but it doesn't mean I still don't want them! 

First on the list is a Lomography camera.

These quirky cameras create amazing photography with different lenses and styles as well as coming in a range of funky colours and ranges, I love them!

Created by 2 students in Vienna after they found the Lomo Kompakt Automat (in 1991 - the year I was born, coincidence? I think not!) and the amazing photos it snapped, the Lomography company has come on leaps and bounds, even being sold in Urban Outfitters, which is probably not their greatest achievement but still! 

They created the world's first compact fisheye camera, The Fisheye. This creates a rounded circular effect, one of my favourites!

Price wise, its not exactly cheap, but the packages they do are amazing, and reasonable compared to a DSLR, they are not heavy, just simple little cameras, who pay homage to the times before technology took over!

The photos are disposable but can be scanned at a photo developers onto a disk which is a bonus.

Below are a few of my favourites and some amazing snaps that can be taken with these stylish snappers.

Fingers crossed I find one in my Birthday Bundle!

Vogue Hoarder

For any of you who have seen my room, or my wall decorations, I am the definition of a hoarder. Spaces filled with clutter, I just can't throw anything away. This means packing up my entire room for the end of the University year is proving extremely difficult. It is especially difficult to let go of the pile of Vogues I have stacked up in the corner. 

To some they are just magazines, trash, and can easily be tossed into a recycling bin, without flinching. But for us they are the fashion bible, glossy sheets of creative beauty, that fill our stylish minds with inspiration each month.
I would keep them in a heart beat but they are too heavy to cart around.

I can't just get rid of them without knowing their going to a good home, or at least towards something useful, which is why I've torn them up. 

Sounds more drastic than it is, I have simply ripped out the best pages of each, which will then be filed away over summer, and upon my return made into a collage, framed, embellished, or simply kept as a reminder of the greatest pages that help us create our image.
I've picked my favourite campaigns and the best fashion shoots as well as the covers to form my own mini magazine.
This will then become a keepsake which I can keep and hopefully I can show my children and say 'This is what magazines (if they still have them in the future) used to look like when mummy was younger'

 

PROBLEM SOLVED! 

Sneaky Young Ones

Am I getting older? Or is the peak age of style getting younger? Definitely both. Depressingly, the ones to watch these days in the fashion world haven't even got behind the wheel of a car yet and they're dressed top-to-toe in labels, attending premiers, doted on hand and foot by leading designers usually at the helping hand of their famous parents. Lucky for some. 

These are the top chicest kids making the headlines with their million dollar wardrobes....

I'm sure you've all seen Cindy Crawfords TEN-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber showing off her (already) killer pegs for the first Young Versace campaign. Following in her Mother's footsteps didn't seem hard as along with her inherited beauty comes a confidence and grace in front of the lens, impressive at this age, a natural. 

She's only a year older than my little sister and, despite her efforts, I couldn't imagine her stepping into such big shoes to fill. Ten just seems way too young for the pressure involved in such an industry, although with a style icon as a mother behind you, it may not seem so hard. 

A girl that's recently been taking the red carpet by storm with her pretty, elegant, looks is one Miss Elle Fanning(13), younger sister to Dakota. Already starred in some capturing roles, and the spitting image of her already famous sibling it's no wonder this angelic face and ethereal style has made it to the hit list, below are just a few favourite glam outfits, three words Elle, keep it up. 

Hailee Steinfield (above with Elle) made her debut in the film 'True Grit' only to later be snapped up for a Miu Miu 1940's inspired campaign (caught out for portraying a hazardous scene, above) however despite this bad press, the starlet is constantly impressing the paps strutting in Stella Mcartney, Calvin Klein and Moschino, (all below) to name a few. She has more to come this year with an impressive line up of exciting film roles, which I'm sure will bring the winning styles to match. 

I would have loved to had these wardrobes when I was an ankle biter and it may seem wrong for this generation to be strutting in 6 inch heels but it seems to be the future. 

These 'chadults' may have pulled it out the bag recently but with so many celebs popping out brats these days it's gonna be Beyonce's Blue Ivy, The Beckham's Harper Seven and even Sienna Miller's expected bundle of joy which are setting the stakes in the baby department, imagine the things to come!
