Lifestyle: Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard Glams Up British Homes

Hollywood Me Interior TV Show
 
Channel 4 broadcasted a make-over show called ‚Hollywood Me‘ last summer. The program was perfect for me, because it combined interior design with fashion, presented by the fabulous and oh so charming Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Have you seen the show? 

In every episode, presenter, and top Hollywood designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard sent the candidate to L.A. for a week full of glamour and glitz. Accompanied by one of Martyn’s celebrity friends (f. ex. Sharon Osbourne, Billy Zane), the candidate would go on a shopping spree or enjoy luxurious beauty and spa treatments....just what a normal celeb would do in L.A. In the meantime, Martyn would bring some Hollywood extravaganza into the candidate’s home, transforming boring lounges, bedrooms and hallways into exquisite living spaces.

I really liked the lounge in the last episode of the show, which featured wallpaper with feathers and keys and a beautiful round mirror. After a night of research, I found out where to get those items from. The mirror from Next, called Chime Wall Mirror with Roman numeral clock face, was unfortunately sold out (winter season 2012/2013, price £125).

The wallpaper is from Cole and Son, model Fornasetti II collection Chiavi Segrete 97-4012 linen and gold. One role of this exclusive wallpaper retails at £140.

It was always enjoyable to watch Martyn and to listen to his visions how to transform monotonous British houses into luxurious Hollywood manors. Whilst Martyn strolled around the place with his inspiration and visions, his team usually seemed to struggle to turn the designer's impossible ideas into reality. But in the end, they managed and the results were stunning. All of Martyn's designs were amazing, because they were unusual, extremely unique, luxurious and elaborate. I wouldn't mind him coming around my place sometime and transform it into a fashion boutique :) Have you watched the show? Let me know!

Till next time,

Fashion: Undressed - A Brief History Of Underwear. My Visit.

Image
The V&A in London is always worth a visit, and after seeing the amazing Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and Louis Vuitton’s Series 3 on the Strand last year, I was ready for another fashion related exhibition. Last weekend, a new seasonal exhibition opened at the V&A museum called “Undressed – A brief History of Underwear”. Though I’m not too bothered about lingerie, I was intrigued how the museum and its curators would display and showcase the historic development of undergarments. Tickets were booked in an instant, so I invited my friend Mille from Pass For Fass to come along and join me for a Saturday afternoon in South Kensington. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures. Since the V&A prohibits photography and wouldn’t reply to my enquiry to get press pictures for this blog post, my iPhone 6 had to do the job. The Exhibition: What You'll See The exhibition is located in a separate part, right in the heart of the V&A and runs until 201

Film: My Top Three Christmas Movies

Image
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the wonderful films that you can watch all over again to get into the festive mood. Ever since I moved out of my parents home, it is my very own tradition to watch a film on the evening of the 24th December (instead of unwrapping presents) and then celebrate Christmas in the morning of the 25th. Some of the films are mostly anime and cartoon-based as they remind me of my childhood and I feel that these movies bring back that special festive magic which I experienced as a child. I don't really like the modern, hyperactive American movies ala Home Alone ,  Miracle on 34th Street , Santa Claus or Jingle All Away . My ultimate all-time-classic Christmas movies are: 1. Anastasia (1997) In a dramatic night, the entire Russian tsar family Romanov is killed by the evil magician Rasputin. Only grandma Romanov and the youngest daughter Anastasia can survive the attack and flee, but are separated and Anastasia suffers from amnesia. Many years later

Lifestyle: What's In My Handbag?

Image
List and What's In My Handbag posts are my favourite blog reads, because I'm quite nosy and I love to know what other bloggers carry around and use daily. My recent list post on  The 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome was picked up so well that I've decided to do a handbag post next. I've been dying to do this post for a while now and I finally got around to do it. Hope you'll have fun exploring my Kate Spade shopper and its content. |Practical| 1. TomTom Sat Nav, Car Keys & License, Visconti Leather Wallet When I'm out I barely use public transport (except for London or when I go into Birmingham) and I drive a lot in Britain and Germany. A few years ago I would refuse to use sat navs, simply because I've learnt in driving school, how a good driver prepares and studies a map BEFORE he goes on a trip, which makes it easier to focus on the road and traffic. However, when I did my first massive tour around the UK in 2011, having a sat nav proved to be a massi
