Synonymous Stripes O' Sonia


Spotted some Sonia Rykiel Maison fabrics in a magazine recently.
Love the Rykiel synonymous bold stripes.. but with the added feminine edge of florals in the mix.

Wunderbar Wires

Spotted in a studio down my very road... love this kitchen area and the use of the wires and metal shapes being echoed from the ceiling lampshades,wall decoration and down on to the chair frames. Just peeking through in the distance are the salvaged cabinets made from cargo boxes. All set off with gingham and geraniums (red too-but of course!) 
A place to fill with home-baked goods for sure... cooling on a wire rack!

Ohhh That Orange!

A precursory warning to anyone thinking about sporting bright orange head-to-toe... you will be a source of interest and intrigue. Stopped in the streets by strangers and asked questions on a multitude of topics. I declined the 'flawless woman' quote for obvious reasons (evident below!) explained to one eager wannabe psychoanalyst that my choice of dress was nothing more than embracing a bit of summer. Yet did happily give my official opinion on the forthcoming olympics... :) ha
