New York New York

This post is a little different to what you'd usually see from me, and something I intend to continue. 
I'm so honoured to have worked with one of the best Fashion Photographers I've ever met, Simbarache Cha, AKA Lord Ashbury. I'm so proud of what we created together in a matter of 24 hours. This was back in January, in a very snowy New York City. My life had unravelled and the only thing I wanted to do was get out of the UK and be somewhere that could consume me and my thoughts. I'm very lucky to have an incredible friend who made this trip possible, Lucy, who is the most wonderful of people.

 I met Simbarache at London Fashion Week whilst he was working, shooting and generally being amazing. He shot me season after season and always remembered me (that's a sign of a great photographer). We kept in touch and when I touched down in NYC, he was home so we made a plan. We hashed out some ideas and settled on a night into morning editorial shoot.

 Simbarache had seen me spiralling on Social Media...always out, always drunk and always getting into trouble. He knew before I knew, that something had changed. He wanted to capture that time in my life, and that is exactly what he did.

 You should have seen the state of my hotel room during the shoot, making ad hoc lighting, creating  mess, throwing clothes, drinking red wine. It is something I'll never forget.

 I hope you enjoy looking through these shots, he is so beautifully talented it scares me! You would love his blog, head over and read the full story Lord Ashbury x Lindsey Holland
Thank you so much for reading and for the support you have always given me.

The Strand Hotel NYC


Happy nearly Hump Day! So as you know...I was in New york last week and quite honestly, I had the best hotel stay of my life at The Strand NYC. I wanted to share the experience with you because if and when you travel to New York, this hotel has to be on your hit list. Not only was the room incredibly beautiful and overlooking the Empire State Building, the staff could not do enough for me. They were the most helpful and sweet people ever, and made sure I was comfortable every day! They even sent me up a bottle of red, which was by far, the most beautiful wine I've ever had. I slept like a Queen in the extra large bed and even had to do a little jump to climb into it each evening. The Strand rooftop terrace bar is something to behold and I spent a couple of evenings in the chilled out surroundings staring out at the pretty Empire State Building lights.

 There are a few shots in here from an editorial shoot I did with Fashion Photographer Simbarashe Cha of lordashbury.com, do yourself a favour and check him out. I haven't seen the final edit yet but I can't wait to share them with you! Think 70's throwback after dark! It's one of the coolest things I've ever had the pleasure of being involved in.

 I hope you'll take nothing but incredible things from this review and check out The Strand NYC when you head to New York. Follow their social media sites for beautiful images and updates.
