A Girls view of the Festival of Speed!

Me with the Chevron

DAY ONE ….. Today I am in Goodwood at the Festival of Speed! http://www.goodwood.co.uk/festival-of-speed/welcome.aspx I am here for the weekend to show my support for the team I sponsor here at www.lovepoppy.com So far so good! checking out the F1 drivers in the paddock and hanging out with the Charlatans who are playing here today. My boyfriend Jordan Witt is going to be driving in the Chevron GT3 here and will be doing the notorious Hill climb! Typically held in late June or early July, the event is scheduled to fit into the motor racing calendar to avoid a date clash with the Formula One season, enabling not just fans but many teams involved in current motor racing championships to attend. Visitors can expect to see cars and motorbikes from over 100 years of worldwide motor racing history climb the hill, including many of…

My kind of Islands!

Coral reef in Australia

Must be feeling romantic because I have been thinking of places that I want to visit next and I came across some amazing images of Islands, forests etc all in a natural heart shape! I know its not St Valentines day but I couldnt resist the opportunity to share them with you! This beautifully shaped island can be found just south of Zadar in Croatia. Called Galesnjak, this little gem measures just 1/2 kilometre at its widest point and must be reached by boat. See the island on Google Maps here. A perfectly heart-shaped lake can be found near Columbia Hills Corners in Ohio, but not much else is known about this curious feature. It seems to be part of a private residence. See the lake on Google Maps here. This beautifully shaped forest can be found in Cantabria, Northern Spain. However, the…

The Icons of the 60′s

Marily Munroe

I have put together some of my favourite images of 60′s icons for you to enjoy. They are mostly fashion related, as for me the 60′s were the era that really set the bar when it came to fashion. I think we are all inspired by these images in some way in our lives, the way we dress, in our jewellery design etc.  If you look at the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine below from Sept 2010 you will see that even lady Gaga has been inspired by the 60′s in this shoot!     I think you will agree that there are so many influences in these image that we see in fashion today? What do you think, would love to hear your comments Love Poppy x

My First Press Interview!

I did my first press interview recently with the Irish Independent Life magazine! I was really proud to do it as I am three quarters Irish but at the same time it was very scarey! However, as soon as I spoke to the journalist Julia Moloney I was immediately put at ease and really enjoyed the experience. The interview was published today and I am so proud to be featured in the same issue as Cheryl Cole and Jamie Oliver! What do you guys think? Love Poppy x

Love Poppy stocking Island

Today (8th June 2012) is World Oceans day……. I love the sea and everything connected to it which is why a lot of my website is based around my travels and adventures which usually include a little gem by the sea whether that be the caribeen sea, the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic. Also, a lot of the jewellery I selected for my website www.lovepoppy.com are charms and collections inspired by the sea. As we all know, our world comprises of ¾th of water and ¼th of land. We have five oceans and various seas in this world, which make our regular life more secured and space for living. Why World Ocean Day is Celebrated? World Ocean day is celebrated to make everyone feel the connection of a living being with an ocean. World ocean day is kind of showing honor…
