More is More



Big fan of this really annoyingly titled ( 'too much of a good thing is superb') story shot by Richard Burbridge for ID. 
Inspired styling is by Charlotte Collet.

Grayson vs Cara

Cara
Grayson

Wonder if potter Grayson Perry was an inspiration for Sarah Richardson, who styled Cara Delevingne for this month's ID Magazine.... See more here.

Jamie's rings

Silver thorns, onyx and a glass eye. A good selection in my book.

A slick of colour this morning in grey central London as I had a look round Hauser & Wirth on Saville Row.

Rainy Afternoon

 Really enjoyed Alasdair McLellan and Olivier Rizzo teaming up up for AnOther Magazine Issue 25. Mixing high gloss with easy going casual or work wear isn't groundbreaking but I've always been a fan and love the way it has been done here.
 The only way to wear a floor length sequin dress
 Rizzo tends to use lots of clothes and props from his own 'archive'. This makes me feel a lot better about all the bags of clothes I've got, bought for a purpose that hasn't quite presented itself yet.

Dig by Daniel Silver

Today I went to the exhibition 'Dig' by artist Daniel Silver. Curated by Artangel, the sculpture was displayed in what was once one of the biggest Odeon cinemas in central London but has now been reduced to a building site. The artwork and site worked so well together that even though sculpture isn't always my thing, I found the installation thought provoking and inspiring.
The downstairs dungeon bit is the part you've probably already seen on someone's instagram. I loved the swampy boardwalk around the standing statues.
And I really liked this unintentional art work by the invigilators
 
For more see the Artangel website, here.

Spanner in the works

Pawn shops do make me sad, but then I think how happy I'd be if I had this bolt and spanner bangle
