Tim Walker Exhibition

Surreal, fantastical and magical are just a few adjectives that one would expect to hear when regarding a Tim Walker photograph. In my opinion, there is no other photographer that has the gift of Walker; being able to transport the viewer to another world. A world of make-believe and beautiful dreams. He achieves this in just one shot, ultimately creating a fairy-tale wonderland landscape. Thus it is ever so appropriate that the name of his new exhibition (featured at Somerset House) is titled 'A Story Teller' and indeed it lives up to its five-star expectations!

For free (yes, free!!) viewers are transported into the fashionably- exquisite world of Walker. From past Vogues and Bazaars we are able to adore over his well known beautiful shots and well known stories.

 Walker captures fashion like no other. He shows the links between fashion and fantasy. A wonderful world which we do not want to leave.  From swan-lake typography, cello-playing bees, to nine feet tall skeletons, the Somerset Gallery comes alive with Walker inspiration. We feel part of his world as we walk through and witness the essence of Walker narrative.

It is an exhibition of escapism. I truly could have spent hours sitting and drooling over these wonderful photographs, wishing to be in the beautiful, world of Walker. Undoubtedly this is why he stands out in the world of photography and thus is taking the photographic world by storm. He is a transporter. A district, recognisable artist. No one does it like Walker, and thus this is a must see exhibition. Whether you are already a Walker fan or not I can guarantee you will be a Walker-fanatic by the end of your journey through his world of fashion fantasy!

Essie addict...

(LtR) Watermelon - Orange, its obvious! - Lapiz of Luxury - Mint Candy Apple - Navigate her

S/S 12 colours Orange, its obvious! & Navigate her



Essie nail varnishes, as you can tell, have become my all time faveourite nail varnishes. I came across them after make-up artist Tanya Burr and beauty vlogger FleurDeForce reviewed them in their joint monthly haul. Originally from America we have had to wait a while for Essie to arrive in England. When I finally saw them in my local boots store I actually jumped up and down with excitement - yes, a true sign that I am a beauty geek!These nail varnishes have indeed lived up to their excellent reviews. There colours are always vibrant, keeping up with high fashion trends, they have fantastic names and beautiful, clean packaging. Most importantly they are chip resistant, high durable and leave a top-coat shine effect: there is no doubt that they are well worth their price! Although I have 5 to my collection now, my faveourite has to be 'Lapiz of luxury', a beautiful, stand-out blue which never fails to receive compliments from my friends!

                                                                Seche Vite - Dry fast top coat

However, I could not talk about Essie nail product and not mention the AMAZING top coat I used over them! Instead of a top makeup blogger it was actually my mum who recommended me this varnish, and now we would both never paint out nails without using Seche Vite.  The first time I used it I could not get over its high-shine wow factor finish, and it still leaves me shocked at the result it creates. Although it is quite pricey, £9 a bottle, I cannot talk about it highly enough. Every nail polish addict needs this in there collection!!
