As we get in to the depths of winter I am naturally thinking about..... summer dressing. How fabulous is Jackie (and her sister Lee, in the second photo), Capri, 1970

Preen Dreams

Prep for an editorial this week - this Preen dress of dreams is my pick of the bunch. Especially with a vintage cowboy boot!

Portugal

3 nights in Portugal at the start of October - what a wonderful shock to the system to enjoy heat and sunshine this late in the year. Even managed to squeeze in some tie dying!

Tie-dye and embellishment - when getting dressed in the dark before work ends up being a semi successful look!

Souvenir

Thrilled with this hand thrown, painted and glazed jug I bought in Spain earlier this summer. It reminds me of the kind of pottery my parents had around the house when I was growing up - gems collected after years of them living abroad. So happy to have one of my own.

Tie Dye

An afternoon spent at my friend Min's house a couple of weeks ago attempting to tie dye - with great results! We've got the bug - hopefully our friends and family like tie dye as I see all sorts handmade gifts coming their way...

Boyd, above, kept us company

Amy's Bag

My friend Amy's bag - vintage silver charms hand sewn (by Amy) on to the front. Would LOVE to own it

Summer

Sofa

So many things to moan about with a huge white leather sofa (it came with my furnished flat), but at least it's big enough for me to cover with various thrifted and homemade throws and cushions. My recent granny square blanket is a favourite charity shop purchase.

Spanish Refreshment

Drinks - both small and large, and a calamari sandwich in central Spain last week. 

Chains of Protection

Couple from Salamanca, 1912

Joaquín Sorolla

An image from the brilliant Sorolla: Master of Light exhibition at the National Gallery.

The couple wear their betrothal outfits, the woman resplendent in chains and necklaces of corals, medallions and reliquaries all of which are symbols of protection.

The exhibition closes on 7th July 2019.

Love these pictures from an editorial shot by Sam Rock for Double Magazine issue 37.

Makes me want to jump on a plane immediately.
