Uno Week William...

A slightly wonky and off-centre poster I saw in Peter Jones toilets on the Kings Road which made me smile a lil bit... apparently the bride-to-be has been shopping on said road a few times this week but alas,missed her! Was tempted to buy a celebratory mug but I think I want the chintziest I can find... or even one of those Chinese ones that say 'Harry & Kate'!!

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!

Laboured London



This delightful cushion was spotted illustrating all the 'musts' of London... 
including an umbrella at most times! So sweet with all the hand stitching detail.

...mmm mmm!

I got to wear a paper magazine dress by Jeffrey Michael Design that lights up n everything!!

Pap Peeks

Saw my hero Viv et al in the paper today and was struck with envy at Ms Barton's outfit far right...
gotta love a sparkling tunic!! Pweeeeetty!

Especially if that part peeping round the back is a full-blown cape!

Wallpaper of le Week




This caught my eye trotting down the Kings Rd in the Designers Guild window- amazing floral wallpaper, but with pops of colour in unusual tones.

Think my pic illustrates more of the surrounding buildings than what's going on on the wall but i promise the spikey flowers are just gorgeous!

Just Japan


Wanted to share this pic I took in Tokyo one springtime - the cherry blossoms were out in full bloom and scattering everywhere... apparently its good luck in love to row through them with your beloved
-not too sure if its obligatory for the lady to be doing all the grafting though!!
Just love the little path they're creating through the petals.

One week on, my thoughts are with you Japan X
