Londoner Calling!



Caramel, cream, brown seat and ikkle perfick basket... yup this bike aptly titled 'Londoner' is firmly on my wishing list. If only I wasn't sh*t-scared of the London traffic and could instead ride through wild flower meadows... pilfering said flora in the way and placing in my dreamy oh-so delightful basket...
Mini obsessed.

Handy Hosiery

An unusual pair of tights I got to sport the other day... perhaps a hark back to 'make-do & mend' era. Where as my good old Nan tells me stockings were a total luxury and when the boys from the boats came back empty handed a bit of improvisation with some charcoal and a steady hand was called for! ... Or alternatively a handy visual guide!! Tights from Wolford.

Sunshine Scribing

This little notebook caught my eye in Selfridges... by Smythson the front cover reads;

'YOU ARE
MY SUNSHINE'

which is just too adorable... even if the gold against the yellow doesn't translate on my camera that well-can assure you it be heart-warming stuff! Raised a grin and a small sense of longing from me!

Collar Brooch Cute!





Think this collar brooch is just too sweet!









Its by British designer Aartthie and her company Fairytales and Hidden Notes -a brand I discovered at a recent shoot. There are gorgeous necklaces made up of miniature objects and long chains, ranging from a teacup to a working telescope and my personal favourite-a compass! AND until the 25th April there's 25% off!

FAIRYTALES AND HIDDEN NOTES

Globes n Gowns

Am in love with these long-armed gowns, deep back lines, structured shoulders, nipped waists, sparkly bits and subtle tones... ahhhhhhhhhh 
♥♥♥



















The cut of Scar-Jo's dress is just lovely, amazing delicate sleeves and sheer fabric is tres chic... maybe best worn sans boobs though! And just adore Helena-B-C for her mismatched red and green shoes with her Viv dress!

Wish-List

Love this dreamy story in the Financial Times (!!) 'how to spend it' magazine, featuring bed linens styled as some sort of couture wear. Looks straight out of the seventies complete with textured wallpaper as a back-drop and the slightly out of focus haziness to it all...
My fave image is below with a king size missoni duvet cover fashioned into a skirt! Wants that Missoni!!!
