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!!  

Leopard Lippies!

 Playing around with leopard print lip tattoos on a shoot... think the rainbow ones below are amazing but maybe not that practical when food and beverages get involved! Check out Violent Lips online SHOP for their full range including flag-inspired pouts!

Furry Friday

A Missoni cape merely accessorised with a small dog-like flurry chain bag!

This may be a little bit breezy in the real world/ bordering on the illegal flashing-wise! But guess there's always that fluffy bag you could cuddle up to for a bit of warmth and essential coverage!!

Baby-Buttz

Miniature butterflies being crafted today... may make into rings or something a little more decorative yet... watch this space! 

Petals & Papillon SHOP

Anchi et Alex

An Alex Lambrechts snap from the Anchi bag shoot capturing my immense moustache amusement...  

Like the colours he captures... have a looksie at his BLOG

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.

Crew & (Hidden) Cast

A picture of my window box predominantly... but deep in the background-a few crew members hanging around in the sunshine, as there be filming going on outside my abode for a tv series. Therefore the most overheard sounds today were of 'rehearsal', 'aaaaaaction!' and sheer screeching from one enthusiastic thespian! ... And in the foreground-strawberry plants, thyme and non e-coli salad leaves!! :)

Sunday Styling

My pretty pal Abi getting papped by Grazia Style-Hunter for her colourful clashing outfit. Just love her vibrant garms and the beautiful shade of her shirt... cue wolf whistlin'!
