Yes.








I'm sitting outside on my porch in the sunshine during lunch break and thought i'd take the time to post some pics. The first is from Planet Blue's new Beach Rat lookbook, then some cute photography from Oracle Fox, a hair braid that i like and someone wearing the Julian Louie wedges i posted about a while back. Yum.

Out of the closet....




Here are some snaps of my wardrobe, a little peek of some of my jewelry and some of my latest thrift store purchases hanging from my curtain rail. Can't wait to wear the shorts and the bright blue, floral jumper/playsuit. It looks dark in the pic but it's actually very bright as you can see in the top pic - perfect for the spring/summer. Yey.

Life is Good








Life is good. The sun is out. I just ate a yummy dinner and i got loads of work done today. Yesterday my gorgeous friend JoAnn gave me a new crochet white top and i'm wearing it with pride (may well uploads pics soon!) and today i saw somebody flying a kite which lifted my mood significantly! There is something about the arrival of Spring that makes all things new. It makes the brown, dead grass look golden, the wind feel like a fresh start and the previously sub-freezing and unpleasant walk to work feel like a delightful and aimless wander through some warm wonderland. Perfect.

Here is another selection of pics i stumbled across during my evening hours spent glued to the laptop. Erin Wasson for Zadig & Voltaire, a gorgeous floral number, some rings i would kill for (well, perhaps not kill, but you get my point), some more crochet white lace from H&M and a pic of one of my fave bloggers oozing her usual awesomeness - Morven.

I plan to start posting a few more pics of some of my own fashion choices and some great pieces from my own wardrobe. I don't claim to be great at fashion styling, but i do like to dress up and share with you all some of my attempts at a cool outfit. So watch this space for some more pics of yours truly and some of the contents of my wardrobe. Or as my friends here in the US say - my closet. Shame it's not a walk-in.... :-)

Hats Hats Hats


Hats are everywhere!! I love these fedoras, they add class to any outfit.

I Heart England





Some gems from the Wildfox spring collection... love it!

My first illustration


This is my first piece for my Start the ART series. I wanted to try something involving detailed drawing and collage. I've titled it 'False Gods'. It's sort of a pastiche of some of the stuff i've been looking at recently. I used black pen and cut outs from 70s National Geographic magazines.
Let me know what you think!

Give Me Red



I'm loving the hints of dark red and pink in the sweater detail and bag in these pics.
