Whitstable - English riviera !

Photography copyright - fashiontent 2010

The British sea side resort is back in fashion. Take the train from Victoria to the Kent coast and you find Fashionable Whitstable. About an hour from London on the train Whitstable has alot to offer. It has a flamboyant, eclectic high street full of independent traders and art galleries as well as useful chains. It is a working town and has a clean sea and pebbled beaches due to the fact that it has an Oyster producing industry and as a result has a crop of very good restaurants particularly Wheelers, Pearsons and The Sports Man attracting those who love fresh sea food locally as well as from London. It is recommended you book well in advance as they get very busy.

From a fashion and lifestyle location point of view it has a wealth of potential as a back drop for a photography shoot. Whitstable is so unspoiled and natural and long may it remain so.

Time for something silly!

My husband is being so sweet and generous with the Mini that I thought I would feature him on my blog today.

It's not often that he gets the opportunity to be creative. But when he puts his mind to it, he's a star. Look at this: a work of art, wouldn't you agree?

A round of applause for him, please!

The Kekey to your Summer wardrobe...

Hawaiian beauty Keke Lindgard takes high fashion to a skate park in this hot editorial for the July issue of Vogue Germany. Striking the perfect balance between couture and street style, Keke channels her inner punk and pulls off one of our favourite shoots of the Summer, the perfect antidote to beachwear... clearly somebody has finally realised we don’t all spend our Summer lounging around in bikinis and need some inspiration for sizzling city looks to see us through the season.

It's going to be a Mini Cooper S!

I can hardly contain my excitement! We ordered my Mini a few weeks ago and I just find out that it will be arriving in about two weeks! I wasn't expecting it until the end of July / beginning of August so I am happy that the torturous wait will soon be over.

Here is what I am getting.

The Mini Cooper S - 184 hp is a lot for a small car!

As an automatic because it is simply easier in the city. (Forgive me, boys! But I will still be able to shift gears with paddles on the steering wheel - like F1 drivers, sort of! And for the record, I can drive a manual.)

With black leather sport seats! (instead of the white leather/black cloth combination offered with this model. In my first assessment it was either the S or leather seats, hence the big deal.)

It will have a fantastic Harman Kardon hi-fi system.

The colour is an elegant white silver metallic, which is only available for the Camden (a limited edition 50th birthday model). I love the pinstripes on the mirror caps.

For those interested, I have included a list of features for the Camden. Other extras we have ordered include sun protection glass, park distance control, heated seats, adapters for the iPhone / iPod and I'm not sure what else... 

This is so amazing for me because I still remember my first car. I was a university student and happy to have a car at all but it only had a cassette player with crap speakers, ugly cloth seats, no power steering and how could I forget what a struggle it was to drive uphill! 

What was your first car like?

Blowing bubbles

When was the last time you blew bubbles like these?! We got two new bubble wands this weekend. The blue one made funny-shaped bubbles.

The yellow wand made huge bubbles with cleaner shapes. Our son made these amazing bubbles!

Did you know (I didn't) that there are bubble specialists at Bubble Inc who can do even more amazing things... like freeze bubbles!

And blow bubbles within bubbles!

And here's a cute baby tiger fascinated with the bubbles!
