I heart Alice and as it’s the month o’ love, it’s only right and proper that I share the love. Alice and I met in Costa Coffee, she told me I had amazing hair, she made the best hot chocolate in the world AND gave me extra marshmallows – needless to say, it was an insta-mutual girl-crush situ!

Alice is now a blog-girl and chefette, think Nigella, only younger and a whole lot sassier – check out her recipes and cookery goodness at: amourandpsyche.blogspot.com but not before you’ve ooh-ed and ahhh-ed at her prettilicious ways AND baked her V-day cookies – if you do try them, we want to know whether they woo your beau!

Ohh, I love me a vintage ensemble,  pretty, pretty clothes with history – j’adore.

If you, like me, are retro-hearted, then you will dig www.retrochick.co.uk – a swoony-swoon site that helps you discover your own personal style by finding the best in affordable vintage, and ethical fashion and making it work everyday. I’m a total fan-girl and love, love, love creator-girl, Miss Gemma Seager, mainly because she believes in the following:

• Fashion doesn’t have to cost the earth, in any sense
• Style never goes out of fashion
• There isn’t much that can’t be made better by a nice cup of tea
• If you’re nice to people they’ll be nice back.

You love her too now, right?

I am all over today’s Etsy Love because it’s the creation of Queen Gilda, one of my fave blog-girls. Revasseur – it’s french for daydreamer, dontcha know? – showcases Gilda’s creations o’ fashion fabulousness.

Gilda grew up in sunny Singapore, and moved to Tokyo when she was 20 to go to the best fashion school in the world, Bunka Fashion College. Now she lives in New York, attending Parsons’ fashion design program – yep, she’s officially a fashion junkie!

I LOVE Gilda’s Revasseur mission statement:

“…I’ve been very lucky in my life, and I believe that clothes have been a huge part of that! I express myself best through the way that I dress, and I hope that any item of clothing you purchase from RÊVASSEUR becomes an extension of your personality too!…”

Come meet her, she’s simply fabu!

Meet Eleanor Jane.

She’s a kick-ass photo girl and zine-making queen who lives in an attic and digs making a mess – you love her already, right? Well, wait ’til you actually see her creations…ah-freakin’-mazin’. I discovered Miss EJ a couple of months ago, when I snapped up every issue of her Girl Photographer zine, since then she’s created a new zine, Soul Catch Fire, a story of sorts; of men, muses and slightly mad love. Each 14 page zine features eight mini photographic prints – bee-you-tiful.

Ohhh, I’m a little bit in heart with Ms Veve.

I know I say that ALL the time, but she’s like this kick-ass, tattoo-ed rock girl who resides in one of my fave cities in the world, Prague and writes in your face fashion, a blogginz all about her fab life, haircuts and love o’ fashion. She’s far too cool for school and is so freakin’ fabulous that she should be on the cover of Nylon magazine or something.

Yeah, I’ve got a girl crush, ‘k?
