Holiday

Monday, 19 August 2013


Hello friends! I've been on holiday. A proper one, where we spent lots of time sitting on the beach and drinking beers and reading books. It was in the south of Spain and it was so so beautiful, I thoroughly recommend it. I also recomend this book - it is very good indeed and unbelievabley interesting and sad and funny.

Back to work today in the deep end, getting my AW collection together and starting to build/decorate a new studio space. There's a change in the air which feels like the end of summer. I've got a proper back to school feeling.

Some photos of garden days from a few months back. I like that with film you don't get to see you're photos instantly, especially as I normally save all my films up and end up spending a fortune on getting them developed. It's always a nice surprise when you get the prints back.

I'm off on holiday tomorrow for two weeks and I can't wait. The shop will be open still but I will wait until I get back before making things up. I've done three staying up all nights in the last week to get everything finished and now I am sat in bed eating left over lasagne and crying my eyes out watching Pretty Woman. I need to get some sleep.

Glastonbury

Tuesday, 2 July 2013

I love going to Glastonbury so much. It is the best festival in the world and has something that you can't pin point that makes it better than the rest (probably the ley lines right?). I've just returned from my 11th time at Glasto and I thought I'd share some amazing photos from way back when the festival started. I'd love to be able to do a bit of time travel and watch Bowie back in 1971.


Blossom

Tuesday, 25 June 2013


A few pictures of blossom I took a while back in London. Now the blossom is over but everything is lush and green.

I'm so busy at the moment I don't know whether I'm coming or going. My sewing machine decided to start to break though which is simply typical. It is fixed - for now - and it feels good to be back on track. 

Don't forget to follow my blog via Bloglovin' (other blog followery things are available) if you are currently using Goggle, because something is happening and that will no longer be possible. I won't pretend to know exactly what's going on, because I don't really have a clue. However Bloglovin' is actually really good for reading your blogs and it's got a good app too. You can follow my blog here - Hello, hello, follow me and read my blog yes.

I hope everyone's having a lovely week. Guess what? I'm going to Glastonbury tomorrow and I'm so bloody excited. See you on the other side.

Photos Of People I Don't Know

Friday, 21 June 2013

I can't help myself when I see a box full of old photos or postcards in a junk shop I just have to have a rummage. Here are some that I bought in Falmouth yesterday:


I chose these photos because they have a summer holiday sort of vibe. I chose the last photo because that woman's face makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.

i n s p i r e d : Meg Ryan

Tuesday, 28 May 2013


I'm not exactly a massive rom-com kind of person, but 'When Harry Met Sally' is such a classic. I watched it the other day and I fell in love with Meg Ryan's style. So 80s/90s I just can't help myself. Here are some screen shots of her looking pretty rad.

Those glasses in the top pic are my faaaav / Babytalk! That pink dress with the scalloped neck line, lovely lovely / I like her hair and those high waisted jeans, also the desk is so good. My hair is prone to some spontaneous wild 80s dos as it has 'a lot of home hair cuts' (hairdressers words) in it, so I gotta take some inspiration from her mop top.

Picnic Weather

Tuesday, 21 May 2013

We've been having some perfect Spring time weather and beautiful sunny afternoons lately. I spent bank holiday Monday in London as my sister had a picnic for her birthday. I love living in the countryside but there's something pretty magical about London come summer. The trees are all in blossom, there's warmth in the air and everyone seems to be cycling about or lounging on patches of grass.

Spring time that feels like summer is my favourite. I like May because it has two bank holidays and it feels all full of optimistic plans for the warmer months.

i n s p i r e d : The Birdcage

Tuesday, 30 April 2013

(photos are shoddy screen grabs - sorry)

I watched The Birdcage this evening. I love that film, I hadn't seen it for years. Along with loving all the wonderful drag outfits - of course - I've become obsessed with the dress Calista Flockhart wears to super. The shape is pretty 90s and she can pull it off a treat. The collar on the dress is wicked. Adding it to my 'must make myself something a bit like this' list definitely.

Some photos of life lately. This film was so interesting to get back from the developers, it starts with the most shitty weather, heavy fog and soggy mud everywhere. By the end it is starting to look a lot more spring like with dafs on the ground and some bright sun cracking through the clouds. The last photos are taken in St Ives at Easter, the light is always something special in St Ives, you can see why so many artists have been inspired there.
