Gin Wigmore


I'm partial to a bit of New Zealand music magic. My favourite act is The Naked & Famous who make great indie pop.
Gin Wigmore is an exciting artist as she has the voice and image that draws favourable comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Duffy. 
She adds a rock artist's passion and aggression to her mix with a love of tattoos to keep things fresh!

An interesting image change for her Man Like That video saw her go from alternative rock to sassy flapper chick. This song was used to advertise James Bond's Skyfall movie don'tcha know.

'Man Like That'

It's the soul in her voice that stands out isn't it?
The first gig she ever went to was Moby 
(who got stomped by Obie).
David Gray, singer of Babylon is a key influence for Gin.
"Gin, we think you suck" former band mates to Gin when they kicked her out of the band a la Jack Black School of Rock Stylee.
She loves Carly Simon who is a freaking brilliant singer.
Her second album Gravel and Wine has seen Gin get steadily growing appreciation for her music.

 'Black Sheep' has a funky rock vibe


'Only Heineken can do zis'
The deep southern states of America gave an authentic blues flavour to the album infused with trips to bars and church in search of real inspiration. It worked a treat!






'Oh my God. 
I've been beaten in the game of love'

Finally
Gin and the guys have been deservedly getting positive reviews on the Warped tour currently rocking the USA.

Smiley Face Fashion

Smile! We actually have a summer that lasts more than two days! Dominique N has a fresh sporty way of doing the smiley face trend. A crop top from Everland, leggings from Lovely Sally and cool platforms from Yru Karazii plus stunning hair is a real winning look!

Amy V's Asos top and Banggood skirt makes her legs long longer. Clever!
Amy V
Her Choies shoes are great.
Cindy Chi's Joyrich blouse is a smarter vibe to sport this trend.

The lace shorts Willabelle O wears are an an unusual and brilliant choice. Gotta love them Mickey flip glasses too. Sweater from shopakira.com

Bernadette F's irresistible denim jacket and creepers are from Choies and the leggings from Lovely Sally.

Finally
Kendall
Kendall C's Adventure Time watch really put a smile on our faces. She called this her 'Banarama look'.

Eliza Doolittle Big When I Was Little


She's the quirky fun pop star that puts a song in your heart, a smile on your face and even a bullet in your bubblegoose. She's Eliza Doolittle!

It's great to have the singer of Skinny Genes and Pack Up come back on the scene with a fresh vibe and interesting songs to enjoy.

She's not been taking it that easy since her first album. The recent collaboration with Disclosure was an encouraging sign she can bring variety to the table with the new album

"Wah? Scooby Snacks.?! Hee hee hee hee!
Shaggy!!
All eyes on Eliza on July 28th when her new single comes out.


'Big When I Was Little'

Eliza Fashion
The 3 styles that Eliza rocks are Girlie, Festival Vibes and Glam!


Girlie

A sweet style full of colour, trainers, shorts, mini-skirts and patterns.





Eliza's real name is Eliza Sophie Caird. By age 6 she'd been nicknamed Eliza D ya gets me.


Festival Vibes

She does this brilliantly! Normally festival fashion is boring boho deja vu but that's not the case with Eliza!

Fresh colour combos and more intricate fringing details keeps it kwl.



Eliza's mum represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. She came 10th with 64 points (check out ma qualitee research!).

With 3 years since her first album Eliza has lots of experiences, emotions, thoughts and questions to share in her new tunes.

I love this jacket. Would maybe go better with another outfit as I kinda want to see a cropped one on this look.
