sync iPod | La Roux x Kanye West


La Roux featuring Kanye West – For The Kill (Remix) by Hypetrak


Kanye West recently assisted La Roux for the official remix of “For The Kill”. The rather odd pairing displays great chemistry on the audio waves. Kanye teamed up with the synth-pop sensation in New York City in October to put his own spin on the track with an original verse.

We can fight our desires
But when we stop making fires
We get so hot
Whether we like it or not.
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
Oh I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)

Kanye:


I’m going in and I’ma go hard
I mean whats the point if it aint no scars
a little teeth marks
blood on the collar
thats real love uugghh
she said, ugh
how could you love someone that hurt you, played you, spoke to provoke you?
how could you love someone that burns you, turns you into a werewolf?
and in the moment you might do some things you’re not aware of
no-ones prepared for the scale of this, not a failure
and more and more more more drama looking for a score
state you’re looking for a tour
her allure’s more couture, tailor-made
til you screams in rage
I mean uhhhhhm looking out the damn cage
hannibal lector, my ugh american pyscho
an iller version of ike yo
the thriller version of Michael
my recital is as bright as the light show up at the Eiffel
a werewolf up in Paris, Im living off your vitals
I mean I’ll be you’re con man, I’ll be you’re damn liar
lets start the interview, I’ll be your vampire
I gotta feel ya, bite ya neck to get familiar
and if ya die, guess what? I’ll f-cking kill ya
(chorus x 2)
Let’s go to war
To make peace
Let’s be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you’re not blinded by the light from me
(chorus x 2)

Hermes Paris




It is such a great thing to experience the attention to detail produced from designers, artists, creatives alike through a retail space. They have the power to transform. The power to pull you out of the daily grind of city life, and take you somewhere whimsical.

Hermès just opened their new flagship store in Paris, Rive gauche. Built in a 1935 old swimming pool of 2,500 square meters, decorated by Denis Montel out of amazing disposable wood structures.

“It is a new stage for Hermes, confirms Pierre-Alexis Dumas, artistic director. We finally crossed the Seine. What is new for us, it is the rise to power of the universe of the house, of arts of the table. We republish the timeless furniture of Jean-Michel Frank. One will explore the carpet, the wallpapers, the furnishing fabric.

PRADA SS 2011 CAMPAIGN







After visiting the Prada Milan store on Thursday, i fell in love with all of their winter stock, I ended up leaving with an amazing pair of long grey leather gloves which are the perfect fit, and keep my dainty fingers warm with the sudden plummet of degrees.

I love seeing the trends that these big fashion houses predict in order to do some of my own interpretations and predicitions. By the looks of the images above for the Northern Hemisphere summer, colour and prints are back in a big way! Ultra nude is brought back to life with colour blocks and tropical patterns.

Haven't been the biggest ALK fan, she is the current darling of the Fashion world but has never really appealed to me, until i saw this spread and just love the extra-terrestrial influence which she manages to nail. Love the body paint. Great posing.

Inception Conception


I watched Inception for the second time on my flight to Milan. This movie really hit me on so many levels the first time i saw it, and again in more detail this time. The concept of Inception, of planting an idea deep in some one's subconscious is not that crazy, and i believe that people you really care about, who really influence your beliefs hold the strongest power and are doing it everyday.

There was someone who planted things in my mind. Someone I idolized. Someone i idealized. A narcissist. But aren't we all?

"You're waiting for a train.
A train that'll take you far away.
You know where you hope this train will take you..
But you can't know for sure.
Yet it doesn't matter.

Why?

Because We'd be together."

The Finite Curve

You will only be hurt a finite number of times during your life.
You have an infinite number of ways to deal with it.

Style Crush: Olivia Palermo for Elle Germany December 2o1o








Not being a big Olivia Palermo fan, her modelling work has never really been on the radar- being fed with a silver spoon and with an attitude to match is particularly uninspiring for whatever reason it may be. People who are passionate about making a mark on the other hand, VERY attractive!

Regardless, the latest shoot for Elle Germany with her real life partner does take our fancy as seeing real life couples telling a story through high fashion editorials is kind of like taking a peak into their life/or fantasy life and thats always something must bring out the voyeur.. Palermo and Johannes Huebl do fine job at that letting us in.

This has always been something I have wanted to do with my partner but unfortunately has not happened as yet, although there have been plenty of Hotel moments we always managed to be occupied with other things.

Bon Appetit: Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers







I am a ridiculously huge Foodie, first and last thing on my mind each day, and thousand times in between! So with wanting to consume every amazing dish ever made, I am an avid Cooking Show fanatic; to learn everything I can on my never ending quest to experience food.

Nigel Slater Simple Suppers is a fantastic show that inspires the creative within when it comes to cooking for yourself. Cooking can be scary, but this show helps you to relax and feel confident with basic techniques that are all about flavour and complementing rather than fussing too much.

Above are some of my favourite dishes that are tried and tested to be a hit at home with the family, or with friends over for a meal. Nothing makes me happier than making others happy and satisified with something I made.

Bon appetit xx
