While Nicole is off jetsetting across the globe (OK, not exactly, we're given to a bit of hyperbole every now and again) on a well-deserved break, Claire and I were left with the task of returning the rest of the clothes we used for a shoot you will see very soon on the Sunday Circle. Since we aren't always the best of bloggers, we made like Tyra and transformed our chore into a Random Act of Modelling. The result is four morbid photos that look more like the poster for Stoker than the poster children for fun fashion. But hey, as long as we stand out (especially me in my extremely inadvisable all-black ensemble), be it through sartorial choices or dreary expressions which offset the weather, we can't and won't complain.

Props to the Marks & Spencer team for coming up with this wonderful idea to launch their new Autumn-Winter collection, which is available in stores now. Styled by Caroline Paris and Marisa Grima and featuring the great models at Supernova, it was perfectly complemented with lively music and sunshine (and wine, too). I would highly recommend browsing the shops as the collection targets both men and women of all ages and different walks of life. Click "Read more" right under the title to see some runway shots of the event!

I was watching a video in one of the many rooms at Blitz, when I had an epiphany of sorts. Not a major one where you get a flash of universal understanding about Life with a capital L. Rather the equivalent of finally finding that one missing puzzle piece that's been eluding you for the last thirty minutes (although the puzzle is far from being complete). I realised that, whether I understood art (or Art – it's a capital letter kind of day today) or not, I was still glad that we had an exhibition space where it can be displayed without fear of judgement, rejection or even censorship. I'm not saying that we don't have plenty of exhibition areas or art (or Art) here in Malta – au contraire – but the kind of art that is immediately classified as "weird" or "pointless" without being given a chance to explain and justify itself rarely gets a spot in the limelight.

We love art exhibitions. Seeing new and established talent displaying their craft here in Malta gives us hope for the future, as we shine our beacon just that little bit brighter in the global eye of fashion and art. We had the pleasure of attending the opening of C, a collaborative effort between photographer Elisa von Brockdorff, stylist Gayle Zerafa (aka Gayle Fashion Stylist), make-up artist Gabrielle Zammit Grungo and hair stylist Chris Galea, who had all previously worked together as a team but had never exhibited their work before last night.
