Oh.My.Gosh!

I'm feeling a little proud today, of a fellow Welsh girl done good. I've been a little bit obsessed with young Marina (and the diamonds) Diamandis for a while now! The girl's got killer style, a really unique voice, brilliant lyrics and her debut album The Family Jewels just got to no 5 in the album chart! She was even in this month's (March) issue of Vogue. Is there no end to the amazing-ness of this girl?!?

WAH-WEEEE!!!

I have always been the world's biggest nail biter. It has seriously taken me years to even try to stop chewing on them but, I feel like this year is the year that I will finally have some nice long talons to call my own. And, if ever there was an incentive to stop, then Wah nails are it!!! When my nails are eventually nice and long I will treat myself to some of their nail art...which leaves me a good while to choose what i want....

Dolce & Gabbana

Oh, to be a snow bunny in a D&G world! I’m majorly crushing the alpine inspired fair-isle fest that is the labels Autumn/Winter 2010 collection, which showed in Milan a couple of days ago. Can't see it being practical on pistè but who cares when it looks this good?! The knitted all-in-one/romper and the cable knit hotpants have my name on them! But until I inherit a small fortune I've got a good few months to perfect my knitting skills....

Rest In Peace

The week has been a very hard one here at Hello Hula HQ, I'm not quite sure how I managed to make it through. Tuesday brought the great loss of Hello Hula muse and best friend, Pancakes (after what feels like the shortest 2 and a half years). Things have suddenly become very quiet here since. We'll miss her pretty little cotton tail, her bouncy bounding hops across the garden, her willingness to be a dress up doll for the sake of entertainment, and of course her generous cuddles. What I wouldn't give to see her cheekily jump onto the couch and attack the cushions. Rest in peace little friend, you'll be forever missed.

Of course, it wouldn't be right to mention sad news of the week without paying tribute to the late great British designer, Alexander McQueen (CBE) who's death this week came was a great shock. It's such a shame to see such a talented, inspiring designer die so young. Here are my favourite few McQueen images....


I would also like to send out some love to my close friend Esther who lost her Grandfather this week aswell. What a horrible week!

A is for Awards....


So it's that time of year again, the annual YCN student awards are here (well they've actually been live since November, but I'm a little late as usual...). This year sees the likes of Bacardi, Monster Munch and P&O offering up briefs, and man are there some briefs. My favourite is the opportunity to design the launch of Ted Baker's Autumn/Winter 10 campaign (with an emphasis on designing for their windows). I think I might enter a couple this year, but then I say that every year and never seem to get around to it (procrastination is the root of all evil!!). This year will be different. For more information on the awards, and to read the 20 briefs in full click here.
P.S. The illustration above is by Jamie Brown, who designed the illustrations for the awards website. Check out his work here.
