Blake LDN S/S 2013 in Goa





Those of you who follow me on twitter may have realised that between sunbathing, haggling and snoozing in hammocks, we got up to something pretty exciting while on holiday in Goa recently...

After ogling new London knitwear label Blake LDN's impressive debut collection at London Fashion Week in September (think chunky cropped sweaters, 90s style sleeveless racer backs and cable-knit shorts in soft marls, minty hues and emerald green), I was a tad excited to say the least when a few weeks before we left, Alice, the brand's founder and a friend, asked if we'd shoot the S/S 2013 campaign while there. 

Unsurprisingly we jumped at the chance and so, along with far too many bikinis and an optimistic number of beach reads, several pieces of beautiful Blake knitwear came with us to India.
The resulting shots will be shared very soon via Blake's website, facebook and twitter , with a new image from the campaign being released each month from now onwards. The top image was the first of which released earlier this week with a few additional sneak peaks too. Can't wait to share the pictures with you and see what you all think!
To get a taste of what Blake's all about, check out the short video below of the gorgeous Alice and the collection in action.

India Photo Diary Part Two

After such a great response to part one (so pleased so many of you liked the photos), here's the second and final installment of snaps from my recent Goan getaway...


 

This bikini is an old faithful favourite that I live in on holiday, but you can get a similar one here.







 
Our abode for our last, beach-based four days of the trip: The Priest's House at Elsewhere. 



If only every shower could be like this. Namely outside and in the sun. You can find similar crochet bikini tops here.

Love seat at Yoga Magic



One of the many 'nooks' at Yoga Magic, complete with its own shrine. Wearing my new favourite Free People top which is proving just as good with black jeans and a biker jacket back in London.


Between the palms at sunset at Elsewhere



Silk pyjamas bottoms from Topman worn with silk camisole from Topshop Boutique. Try these or these for really good alternatives to the trousers.




Bedtime at Yoga Magic. Think I need to introduce a canopy like this to my room at home... Anyone know where I can find one?





Breakfast at Vivenda dos Palhacos






For those of you who have been asking about the cameras used, we had 3 on hand for the trip, a Lomo LC-A, a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and a Canon 5D.

We booked everywhere we stayed through i-escape who were super
helpful every step of the way and come highly recommended.
