#👯👯



Normally I don't take notice of updates on my phone, I mean they're usually just bug fixes right? Nothing to get too excited about. Until the last few weeks when I actually started to read what these updates include.

First we had the new emoji update with the iOS 8.3. Ok so there isn't really much use for the people emojis whose gold hair matches their gold skin but being in Australia I found the flags amongst others of some use. 

Again, with the fact that I am now living 10,000 miles away from home, Whatsapps most recent update was of some advantage. Not everyone it seems is comfortable using FaceTime (Hayley and Sam I'm talking to you!) and who has time to attempt to figure out Skype... Whattsapp now however allow you to call  using your internet data as opposed to Cell credit or minutes. (I know there is Viber but I also don't know a single other person that has it). 

Most recently and best of all? Instagram today not only released new filters but have also finally given us the ability to HASHTAG EMOJI'S!!! You know, coz sometimes there just aren't enough words to convey how we truly feel 😎.

H&M kicks off Summer

I might be down under where the sun refuses to do anything but shine, but even I can't ignore that hopeful spring feeling us Europeans always experience this time of year, as soon as the nights begin to shorten. Each of us experience something different that ignites this feeling inside of us. For my sister it's the sound of people mowing their lawns, for myself however it's seeing the new season fashion campaigns. 

From Kristen Stewart's new Chanel ads to the Kate Spade collection featuring Karlie Kloss, summer campaigns never fail to instill a renewed sense of passion within me. One that has particularly resonated over the past few years is H&M's New Icon campaigns. What's not to love, four world famous models, exclusive new music and clothes that'll usually see you through the next few summers. 

This year see's H&M launch summer with another four world famous models - Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, Natasha Poly and Joan Smalls. 

Pernilla Wohlfahrt, head of design at H&M describes the new line as - "everything I love about the summer - bikinis for long days at the beach, romantic prints on flowing dresses for endless nights with friends"



In keeping with previous New Icon campaigns the television advert, shot by Lachlan Bailey, will debut on April 30th, set to DJ's Axwell and Ingrosso's (Swedish House Mafia, if those names sound familiar) new track 'Sun is Shining'
