Designer Surfboards

We've all seen the Chanel surfboard over the years popping up in many fashion magazines however it seems many other fashion designers are following suit.

Firstly you will by now know about the DVF collaboration with Roxy but as well as developing pretty bikinis they have come up with this super girls, but a little bit glam, surfboard.

Italian fashion house Etro have taken their signature paisley and released these limited edition surfboards.

Even Marc Jacobs has got in on the act with these simple yet beautiful boards.

Whoever said surf and fashion do not mix was clearly a fool!

'Peanut Butter'

That is the name of this short film by Leah Dawson about a very special board. The film is like a really sweet love story between a girl and her favourite board. We've all been there ; we've all had that one very special board you swear makes you surf so much better than any other so I think we can all appreciate the simplicity of this video.

Beach-Ready Must Haves

So we have has just one day of sunshine but that was just enough to make me want to whip my legs out and ditch the summer wardrobe. Everyone has their summer-ready routine and here are my essentials I cannot live without. As you can see there is a tropical vibe but hey- hey not?!

Clockwise:

American Apparel 'sheer' nail varnish in tropical colours
Havaiana for oyosho.
Tree Hut shea coconut and lime body scrub
TiGi cherry almond leave- in conditioner

Watergate Bay

The beauty of my favourite beach when it's quiet and misty at dusk

My Hideaway

In readiness for some filming I'm doing tomorrow I tidied up the work room so thought I'd take advantage and grab some shots. Trust me it never looks this organised- there's usually thread strewn everywhere, fabric draped over the chairs.... General chaos!

A day the beach

It has been unbelievably cold in Cornwall over the last few months but this weekend we got the perfect swell and some sun to match so even though it was still cold we didn't mind too much.

The Day Bag

Sometimes we need a little more protection than a sock can offer but who wants to cart around their beautiful board in a boing black bag? Not us! So we had a little think and came up with this.

It's fully padded throughout with waterproof lining. It also features a deep front pocket with waterproof lining for you to sling your suncream fins etc in but importantly it also has a strap to carry it by. We've maintained our ethos of keeping it green and it is predominantly made from remnants excluding the wadding and the strap so another mans waste became our treasure!
