Hand Candy
I have always been a fan of wearing more rings than I have fingers, and I have so many different rings so that I can mix and match them. I love topaz and other coloured gems, whereas other times I wear plain gold or plain silver, sometimes chunky or statement rings, or sometimes lots of small ones. It amazes me how so many people can make such an art of this! And make it look to beautiful, often...
Neon Pop
Neon may seem like an obvious spring trend, but this year I have seen so many beautiful of examples of how to wear it right, and I just had to post some of my favourite pics. The trick is to make it subtle where possible, or to keep the outfit simple and then add a statement neon piece. That way its bright and beautiful, and you don’t risk looking like you are on your way to an 80s new wave...

Heavy Metal
I have seen so many pretty metallics and metal coloured fashion recently - it seems to be perfect teamed with pastels or neons. But I just had to post some pictures - here there are some amazing glitter and metal coloured pieces, as well as some incredible tailoring. The silver metallic skirt which is in a few of these pictures is from H&M but everytime I have been there they have been out of...
Landscape Prints
Loads of Landscape Prints around this season, and I love them! Its not something I recall seeing so much of ever before, but they are elegant and colourful, and perfect for the summer. Here is just a few of my favourites in the pictures below. Swinsuit brand We Are Handsome has done some of the best, and they also have some incredible animal face print swimsuits too (all to be featured in a...
DIY Caviar Nails
I first saw this a few months ago when Ciate released this as a ‘Caviar Manicure’ in 3 colours.
Straight away I thought it was amazing and even went to put myself down on the waiting list (it sold out immediately) when I realised that actually, at £18 this was a rip off and (never one to turn down a DIY challenge) easily something I could do myself! So off to ebay I went (as I...
Avocado Fries
You may have guessed by now but I am an avid fan of avocados! I actually saw the idea for this on Pinterest, and knew straight away it was something I had to try. Its also extremely easy, all you need is eggs, flour and breadcrumbs.
Take an avocado (not too soft as it will start to fall apart when frying) and chop it into long chip like shapes.
Now take your flour, one whole egg and...
Prints Charming
So many beautiful prints around this season, and I love how wearing multiple clashing prints can be so pretty and interesting. The Prada AW12 designs without doubt were my favourite from the shows this year, incredible how we can keep reinventing prints season after season and making them so different and more beautiful than last year. Here is a small collection of some pretty prints around at the...
Touch of Pink + my new Color Bug
I keep coming across lots of really beautiful pastel pink colours recently so though I would post a few of my favourite. Just something pretty to look at :) I have also just bought the most amazing product by Kevin Murphy called Color Bug, basically a really easy way to add colour t your hair which wipes on then simply washes off. I have only bought one in Pink but will buy a few other colours...
My ultimate Idol: Rihanna!
Nothing much to say other than I would probably cut my own fingers off to be friends with this girl. I have always absolutely adored her style, I like that she isn’t afraid of looking rather androgynous and slightly scary at times, but ultimately she is always absolutely drop dead gorgeous and anyone who doesn’t think she is the most beautiful human being on the planet needs their...
Sonja's Super Salad
My first food post! Its taken a while but here it is. Anyone who knows me well will know that I have a great passion for food and love to cook and experiment when I can, however sadly I have very little time for that most of the time. I’m determined to make more time to document my favourite recipes and dishes, but as I found out when doing this, its actually very difficult to cook something...
Sound of 2012: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Most people will hopefully already know who TEED is, however if you don’t you need to start listening! TEED has been around for a few years now and my friends and I went to see him play at 93 feet east about 2 years ago, but since then he has grown massively (he is now signed to Polydor) and is sounding better than ever. His on stage costumes are absolutely incredible! Some amazing...
Tex Mex
I have seen so much Tex Mex inspired style this season that I had to do a post on it, as I had collected so many beautiful images. I really love this look as its colourful and beautiful, while still being a bit dark and daring. I have also noticed a lot of skull inspired jewellery around at the mo, but not the dark gothic type, more the bright Mexican day of the dead type, and I really love it....
