1. Pigeons & Peacocks, issue 7
London College of Fashion's baby Pigeons and Peacocks magazine launched in 2008 and has been out doing itself ever since. A proud London College of Fashion alumni myself, this week I settled down to read the latest addition to the Pigeons and Peacocks archive. What I saw blew me away. Page after page of stunning editorials and thought provoking articles. I particularly liked the article The (Role) Model on Shaun Ross, an African American albino male model who was featured in Beyonce's Pretty hurts video & is also taking the fashion world by storm. Undeniably stunning Shaun and other models like him such as Diandra Forresst are the new wave of models, thoughtfully challenging the beauty status quo. A great Article, a must read.

2. Glitter & Metallics
Not all that glitters is gold, no sometimes it is Givency. This season glittering metallics are all in, so pack your shades and get to shimmering. Glittery pieces are a great way to inject some excitement and glamour into your outfit. So reflect some light like the diamond you are and stand out.
Net-a-Porter have some beautiful glitter skirts by Alice + Olivia, Lela Rose & Malene Birger.
You can buy these designer skirts via Net-A-Porter
However, if your budget is a little more modest, Check out this great H&M version for £24.99
Play with texture, these spangled skirts would go beautifully with a simple polo neck, cashmere sweater or simple linen T-shirt.
3. Donna Karan
I saw this and I just wanted it. End of story, wholly indulgent but none the less top of my wish list. A beautifully made, high drama piece by Donna Karan. It can be worn in a number of different ways and is certainly a head turner.
4. Fly Art Productions.
Www.flyartproductions.tumblr.comA brilliant Tumblr account which juxtaposes pop culture slogans over 16th Century Art. The result is just genius and unexpectedly thought provoking.
4. Jennifer Lawrence.
I just can't get enough. Not only was she in Vanity Fair this week, but she also looked classically beautiful this week at her premier.
