Frilled Finery!


As a younger version of myself without a doubt the fashion idols that subsequently shaped my existence were firstly Stephanie Zanoni -circa Grease 2 and secondly JEM & The Holograms-of cartoon fame. 
No doubt through over-exposure to their epic tune 'Glitter and Gold' which I implemented as staple themes throughout my wardrobe, though am yet to find my own pair of star cum hologram earrings! Anyway in ode to Jem, 80's wedding steez and the fact tomorrow I will witness such antics, a vid of Kimber's pre wedding jitters/styling/sing-a-long is here!! Cue the organ... 'Tomorrow Is My Wedding Day' in all it's 1980's frilled finery!
Miss Zanoni <3

Purple Power!

The amazing colours of the foliage spilling out on to the pavement is not really done justice in these snaps. Lilacs and blueberry tones looked just wonderful on this London road today... even some wistera was spotted peering over a wall too. Garden envy for sure!

Beaded Beauties

Slightly obstructed pic of some (in retrospect) tad jester-esq heels I eyed enviously on the tube today!
Each diamond completely made up of beads-a sparkly and mesmerising sight to behold upon the otherwise fairly dull district line!

Looksie at Lulwa





Lulwa Al Amin's online lookbook shot in the sunshine featuring semi skimpy dresses and skirts... 
 London-based Lulwa develops her own fabrics from her paintings and photographic images-using almost a kaleidoscope method that looks really effective but isn't always on first look obvious as to what the graphic hails from.
Like it lots!!  
Oh and some peek-a-boo action too!

Mountings In May

Would like at least one of these in my world-a beautiful art deco surround picture frame.
Unfortunately it was only stumbled across in the virtual world and been sold many a moon ago... but I shall vigilantly seek one in that there real world!

Stiletto's n Sportz

Having worn very little sports attire thus far in my existence I was more used to associating such with bagginess, stretch appropriate and breathable... 
Yet unbelievably yonder below here I am in an outfit that fits all three of those criteria and am reassured that 'sports' is most certainly a trend right now. Goooo grab that lycra!!
 Featured stiletto's not essential and in fact may be detrimental to  general well being and ankles in a competitive real sporting environment...

Degas Drawings

So back to my fave M d'O... (see below) in amongst all the wonderful Impressionist oils paintings, pastel creations, Art Nouveau designs and just general beautifulness housed in this establishment there is also currently a Degas exhibition. 
Degas et le nu aka 'Degas and the nude' is full of sketches and sculptures by the artist of nikid bodies, well generally naked women featuring a fair few bath tubs n all. But the sheer amount on display is just amazing and the pastel colours-often using oil pastels are just too pretty with his soft lines and gentle shading. 
... Want a return billet sil vous plait!
