be blushless

flamingos, candy & bourbon

Last week we attended a rad wedding in a pub in East London.

The couple owns/manages a club in East London and decided to invite basically everyone, that has ever been a guest at the venue.
It was fantastic. The place was overly decorated with pink, flamingos, they had a candy buffett, and a really rockin live band.
Even if thats not my style at all, the atmosphere was great.
Candy and bourbon is a really great combination by the way.

Note to self: I have to have a candy buffet on my wedding!

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE LONDON ?

…and weird on top!

My does only look good when its messy.
The messier the better.
I cut it myself (or ask friends to do it) and I never use any styling products.

Liv loves the messy look also for brides!
What about you? Do you prefer sleek or messy hairstyles?

P.S: London is fantastic! British Brides, please get in touch for wild wedding dresses! Blushless now also offers bespoke designs!

Today we got a fancy sexy music mix of Beattrainproductions:
Listen to it here.

About this mix…
My name is Ari. I work as a DJ and split my time between New York City and Boston. I am often booked to DJ at weddings in which the couples are looking for a very eclectic and distinctive mix of music. Recently, I was thrilled when a couple asked me to come up with a mix of retro french pop songs for their cocktail hour (one of my many record fetishes). Here’s a mix of some of the sultry, sexy french records I played from the likes of Bridget Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall.
If you’re curious to hear some other mixes, I have a couple websites:

lanvin is kicking ass

When I saw the photo shown above for the first time in a magazine,
I couldn’t help but stare on the page for about 10 minutes.
There was something about it. Something real, something intense and more
than just well photographed hot man in fantastic clothes.
I was wondering about the wedding ring on his finger as well…
After a little research about the campaign it became clear:

The photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, who are a married couple, shot themselves for the campaign. Seeing him through the eyes of his wife and see the love story between them — makes the whole campaign so very emotional. Van Lamsweerde left all fashion statements to her husband and appears nude.

I love projects of artist couples! And always have.

and the winner is…

…GIOVANNA!

how to stay hot in a chilly summernight

Ohhhh these summernights! Liv is getting excited, for the first time in her life, she’ll see a movie in a drive in!!!
They just created an urban drive in in east London, with original 50′s cars, all already set up! I can’t wait!

I think this piece would be great to wear with a wedding dress, to cover your shoulders and keep you hot during a chilly summernight!
I want!

golden girls and grooms

shoes AMALIE by Sophie Gittins
Liv is a golden girl.
She just fell for this hot heels by Sophie Gittins.
This design drew from the rules applied by the Wiener Werkstätte – Graphic simplification of architectural shapes. The palette derives from the heavy use of black/gold by the movement.

Are there any golden guys/grooms to be out there?
The Gold Hexagon Printed Shoes is a Collaboration piece between Koji Horigome and creator Himbad.
These shoes of art are printed &made by hand in Shoreditch, London.

P.S: Did I mention I wanna have an all golden bathroom?

coffee & home

Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee.
And even if I am living in London now, I will NEVER switch to tea.
High on caffeine, I will always create the best dresses.
As much as I love grabbing my coffee to go in the morning:
The most important item on my ONE-DAY-WHEN-I-AM-GROWN-UP-WISHLIST is my very own espresso maschine.
(Maybe with a few packages of David Lynch Organic Espresso.)

Is there anything you always wanted for your home?

P.S: I start to ask myself when this “one day” will be.
Will Liv ever settle down and start to build a nest?
Will this restless feeling ever stop?
And will there be someone waiting for me with a coffeemaschine?

portrait gallery and sex candles

The last weekend has been an incredibly cold and rainy one.
I finally made it to the National Portrait Gallery, which is highly recommended!
Afterwards we had amazing dinner at a friends house and Liv realised that she really has to get some candles for her new room in London.
While visiting colette I came across this SEX candles with Terry Richardson pictures: HOT!
Wouldn’t they make a great (bridalshower-) gift?
