Summer Of Love
We can certainly say that since the nuptials of our own Prince William the world has caught wedding fever. Since then we've seen a wealth of the rich and famous tie the knot - first Lily Allen, then Kate Moss, Abbey Clancy, Prince Albert of Monaco II and Rachel Weisz & Daniel Craig (though theirs was top secret with just four guests).
In the UK over the last few weeks the wedding buzz has been all about Allen and Moss with a stream of unanswered questions about what the girls would be wearing on their big days...Would Lily be donning Chanel couture by 'Uncle' Karl? Would Kate stand by her old friend Galliano and have him design her dress? And with both weddings taking place in sleepy Cotswold's villages what would the comparisons be?
BRIDE: Lily Allen
GROOM: Sam Cooper
BRIDESMAIDS: Three adult (in peach satin slips), three children (in lace) - including long time friend Miquita Oliver
CHURCH: St James' in the Cotswold's village of Cranham
DRESS: Parisian designer Delphine Manivet created the vintage inspired dress - full length lace with bracelet sleeves, sweetheart neckline and 1920s style embellished veil. Lily also wore custom made Rupert Sanderson peep toe platforms
FLOWERS: Cream, peach and baby blue hydrangeas and peonies
GUESTS: Well known siblings Alfie Allen and Sarah Owen, hell raiser father Keith Allen and comedian Harry Enfield
DRAMA: In the run up to the wedding it was all about who was designing the dress, as rumours abound that Karl Lagerfeld was creating a Chanel piece for the big day (pictures have since surfaced of Lily at Chanel having a fitting so it is possible she wore Karl's gown in the evening). On the day - Sam announced to guests at the reception that they would be expecting a child in 5 months time!
BRIDE: Kate Moss
GROOM: Jamie Hince (wearing YSL)
BRIDESMAIDS: Trish Simonon (in Erdem) and Jess Hallett (in Stella) plus 15 bridesmaids - including Kate's daughter Lila, half sister Charlotte, Sadie Frost's daughter Iris and Ella Richards, granddaughter of Rolling Stone Keith
CHURCH: St Peter's in the Cotswold's village of Southrop
DRESS: A John Galliano creation - again heavily '20s inspired, with a nod to Kate's Heroine Daisy Buchanan of Great Gatsby in the veil - floor length, bias cut, sheer and heavily embellished with embroidery and crystals - plus Manolo Blahnik's with blue lining
FLOWERS: Cream and pink roses for the bride while the bridesmaids wore fresh flower daisy chain headbands
GUESTS: A roll call of everyone cool and Rock 'n' Roll - Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Alison Mosshart, Anna Wintour, Anita Pallenberg, Mark Ronson, Marc Jacobs, Paul McCartney, Philip Green, Naomi Campbell, Christian Louboutin, Christy Turlington, George Michael, Grace Jones......
DRAMA:The biggest news about the big day was that la Moss had closed off roads around the church for the three day extravaganza - including performances from Shirley Bassey, Snoop Dogg, Beth Ditto and Iggy Pop! Moss and Hince also had photographer du jour Terry Richardson snapping paparazzi style at the reception. Though he has had to remove the pictures from his own site (apparently due to a clash with an exclusive Vogue deal with Mario Testino to create images from the event) there are still a few that have slipped through the net and are floating around...

Model/Photographer
There's only a certain longevity to being a model, so after ten years of walking and posing Slovakia born and Paris based Robert Jaso turned to the other side of the camera.
Jaso spent several years honing his photographic style to create signature images that are part beautiful, part quirky.
After being an in-demand model he's now an in-demand photographer with editorials for Vogue, Glamour, Grazia and Harpers Bazaar under his belt as well as campaigns for Shiseido, L'oreal, Matthew Williamson, De Beers, Wella, Schwarzkopf and Oasis.

Bicycles On The Brain?
Keep seeing vintage-y bicycles everywhere which I wish was a sign that I should get one. Just one snag - never been very good at riding them!

From Me To You
I first came across Jamie Beck's work via another blog and it was this particular haunting image that made me want to find out more:
Check out From Me To You and you will clearly see where Jamie's passions lie - food, film, Paris, NY, vintage and obviously photography.
One clever duality is the twist on the 'food &...' theme seen in great blogs such as Cupcakes & Cashmere. The 'Dinner & A Movie' section details the recipe for a home cooked meal and the movie to watch while eating it (think tortillas with Frida, mussels with Amelie and shepherd's pie with Love Actually).
There are also clear filmic influences in other areas of the blog and photographic work blended with Beck's own thrift store finds at New York Fashion Week
