15 Minutes with Sir David Attenborough.

Have you ever met a hero?
I've always been fortunate enough to meet people that I respect; but never a hero as such, well until recently.
Tuesday 5th July on an extremely muggy morning I made my way from Cardiff to Bath, for an individual conference with Sir David Attenborough.
The 'conference' was to take place at a book signing for David's new book "New Life Stories".
As I queued in the feeble rainfall outside, in a queue of fifty people strong I did start to worry.
"What if he wasn't the man I believed he would be" was probably the biggest question playing on my mind.
After being let inside, I stood at the bottom of cast iron staircase, until a lady with the most unusual tone of voice and vivid red hair called my name.
I peered through the door and there was Sir David, sat graciously at an old writing desk in a layout that appeared like an old library as we caught each other’s eyes he stood up and welcomed me inside.
We sat an chatted in a casual manner for what felt like hours discussing world issues such as Global warming & climate change, but also topics of animals such as Birds of Paradise, butterflies and we chuckled over his dislike for rats.

After leaving I felt hugely inspired. Here was a man who has been teaching us about the joys of the natural world for over half a decade and with the smile on his face as he tells these stories he still has the same passion now as to when he first started.

But just like I told David, I would love to see myself in his role for the next generation but I would do things slightly differently, more fashionable perhaps…

MOSS & HINCE - THE WEDDING.

I've idolised Kate since about 2005, for reasons that when asked I can't really describe.. Maybe it was being 15 and just attempting to live the controversial lifestyle in which over the years she's become famous for. I find her savvy & stylish but yet humble and she appears as a naive business woman. Everything she does appears to come from passion; she always seems to be enjoying life, has good friends and the only person I know who could turn a cocaine scandal into one of her most successful years!

Since being discovered at the age 14 at JFK airport she managed to reform & split the opinions of the fashion industry & define style for a generation of women.

Yesterday, saw this leader of the social scene become the rock star wife marrying Jamie Hince in a church ceremony not far from the supermodels home in the Cotswold's. Kate wore a beautifully crafted dress by good friend, John Galliano, It was a vintage style cream dress with a floor length veil. She was expected to change into a dress designed by close friend, Stella McCartney.

Kate had 16 bridesmaids on the day, a mix of friends children but head of the pack was daughter Lila Grace. Celebrity guests included Naomi Campbell, Anna Wintour, Jefferson Hack & Jade Jagger. Kelly Osbourne described the event on twitter as 'This is the most beautiful, loving, amazing wedding I have ever been to. it's magical when you see people really in love!'

The party is probably in full swing as the wedding was being finished off with a 3day festival being nicknamed 'MOSS'STOCK' with performances from Snoop Dogg, Beth Ditto & Iggy Pop.

Polo at the Castle

This weekend Cardiff saw its return of polo to the city - Polo at the castle.

The event was a sell out; ladies and gentleman turned out in their Sunday best to welcome to the teams, horses & the warm weather.

The day was full of good atmosphere helped along by the added mix of choirs, live music from the VIP Mocka tent and of course the polo. Each year the event hosts a best dressed competition for both Men and Women which is assosiciation with the Joshua Foundation Charity with special guest judge Alesha Dixon.

          Pods and tents booked by host's & guests sat down to a beautifully presented 3 course meal with plenty of Pimm's & Champagne, served by the staff of Jelly Bean Catering, the perfect way to wash down fine food.

         Chukka's away to many exciting games of polo and eventually it was Team Mocka who took the trophy & the tournament, another trophy for the collection.

        The party continued at the castle grounds until late hours of the evening, mainly headed up by the VIP Mocka Tent which provided live Dj sets and cocktails until guest's were moved on to the Official Polo Afterparty @ Mocka Lounge, Mill Lane. The team and guests from the day festitivies turned out to see the end of a good day, partying through till the early hours.

With all this polo i've already begun to start piecing together outfits for next summer and with Milan Fashion Week just passing us, what better way than beginning to Lust for next year outfit's for the event - Heres some ideas:

Causing a scene in Canary yellow Versace with Nude Shorts

Never one to turn down Sheer in Mcqueen.

Not one to go unnoticed in a heavy print from Versace.

Cool, comfortable, casual in an all-in-one from Dolce&Gabbana

Smart yet Sheer in yet another Versace creation.

In the Beginning..

"CARPE DIEM"

My name is Moss.

Seize the day, as you'll only regret what you don't do.

I'm constant adding and taking away things from the to-do-list. Indecisive some may say. I don't really know what i'm looking for but i'm enjoying the ride.
