Feathers n Leif

Having my feather head-dress adjusted on location. 

Love the beautiful green tints on these feathers... amazing head-dress handmade by Mr Leif -orders taken no doubt!

Location reminded me of something from Alice in Wonderland-but perhaps that was just the huge wafting roses... visual reference below!

Bargain Bling

Rather pleased with my magpie nature today spotting this dazzling number in a charity shop. Sure to be adorned during this wedding season or perhaps even as I nip to grab some milk... loving them faux diamondz!!

3D Me...

Got introduced to this 3D camera the other day 

-which apparently is very very useful if you also have a matching 3D computer screen (?!) like circa arcade booths...?? But have to say looking at pictures on this little contraption is a baffling one, strangely mesmerising but yet feels like my retinas heat up in the process! ...Hmmm.

Don't think it's gonna replace my 1D Golden Halfie just yet!!

Tanqueray Upon Tuesday

Tanqueray Tonight

Click on the link above to see my finest faux shock/relief/besotted-ness showcased! Unfortunately my stunt action of slipping over didn't make the final cut but still I got to be man-handled and stare deep into the mr barman hero's eyes for many a take!!

Beads A-Bright

Ohhhh lala bright shiny colourful beads gathered today hopefully much much more to come tomorrow! Scouring those London streets firmly upon the agenda right now... yet also slightly tempted to throw some on too...!

Ochres n Oranges

Am currently in the midst of a love affair with the colour orange, I'm talking clothing wise as I've been donning a lot of the bright shade of late which has now filtered through into my jewels. Today I stocked up on orange and amber beadies to start getting busy busy with!!

Power Pouting/Painting

Some piccies from We The Urban Magazine, bold colours, painting partings and half faces!

Looking vaguely Jack Nicholson-esq here!! 

Sweet Smell O' Sweetpeas!

 Sitting here with the most amazing scents coming off these FOUR little flowers next to me... the whole room is filled with their summery stench... picked fresh from my window.

Sunday Snoooooood!

A snap from a recent look-book although perhaps not quite the season for knitted garms right now, was lovely working with all the hand-knitted and handmade clothing and accessories.

Saturday's Swansong

Having spent a large proportion of my week in the hairdressers my magazine time was greatly increased over the past few days and I was overcome with envy when I saw Florence in this particular beaut of a dress by Givenchy... apparently she wore it to the oscars earlier in the year. DREAMY!!

And THEN i clocked the back... too too amazing. Get me swanning about in this any day!

Portrait Perving...

The National Gallery Portrait Award beckoned today... so many beautiful compositions, colours and just astounding technical ability on display. Neither of these two were prize winners-but I found them particularly mesmerising nonetheless!!

This bloke at the bottom is apparently 'The Lord of the Rings'...! 

The furry face detailing on both was just so amazing.

Bleached n Bandaged!

Looking slightly inpatient-esq today as my sleek hairstyle was being meticulously preserved under these layers of stretchy paper... no eyebrows due to bleaching and no hair... quite the look!!

The lavender inspired finished version below:

Born to Butterfly!

Whilst helping my mum clear through some old relics at the weekend-found this stone which I gave to her on her birthday-being the generous sort that I was!! Haven't quite grasped the notion of butterfly symmetry so guessing I was just a tiny thing... but clearly still with a small butterfly fascination.

... May do something similar this year!!
