Plasticine

I love looking through old magazines and keep them for years. I find that when they are brand new there's almost too much to take in, and I always skip stuff and later discover missed gems. One point in case is a still life shoot from Vogue last year which saw jewellery on, in, hanging and spilling from household objects made from plasticine by French artist and illustrator Alexandra Bruel.

Peter, Grace and Daria

   
 
 
A friend of mine recently pointed me in the direction of this Peter Lindberg shoot for US Vogue back in 2011. I haven't managed to upload the pictures in order, but I love the way the photographs tell a story - a proper photo narrative. And of course, the clothes are incredible. Grace Coddington strikes again.

Love these pictures of Kate Moss by Mert and Marcus from French Vogue last year.

Sunday Shells

A trip to the fishmongers is a feast for the eyes, not just the belly.

Gathering Gold

I have been gathering jewels for an up and coming shoot and am reminded of the many heart shaped pieces of jewellery I have...
I have started deconstructing the various pieces of neglected tat that I've picked up over the years and making new versions of them. My favourite trick is adding hearts to my gold hoops
Turns out it's quite hard to take a picture of your own ear.

Gingham, Suede & Leather

Such a happy combination - and looking particularly great in Prada's Pre-Fall Campaign, shot by Steven Meisel
Love the look above particularly - think my cowgirl jacket is going to feature in lots of my outfits this year. Am also a long term fan of gingham - nothing evokes summer quite like it for me.
