Outdoor Life

 A week in Cornwall catching up with family, and making the most of living outdoors! No one knows how to make the most of things quite like my Mum... 

Outdoors

Social distancing has unexpectedly lead to a new styling opportunity... Camping last week in Cornwall... quilts and cushion made by Mum.

Pitching

I love looking through old Interiors magazines - they can be just as inspirational as fashion or art magazines for me. This was an editorial essentially about trimmings - something I seem to be collecting, judging by my styling kit and sewing bag. I love these embellished tents... food for thought.

Roger Fenton

 

Last week I learned that David Bailey's son is called Fenton, in homage to the British photographer. 

 

Roger Fenton is probably best known for his photographs of the Crimean War of 1855, of which there are said to be over 350. It was the first time that the British public were kept a brief of battles on foreign terrain and Fenton's photographs depict stoic soldiers and tidy camps, in an attempt to buffer negative response to the war.

After looking at these photos I now want to go camping and wear kilts and plaid knee high socks. Coincidentally, you can buy your very own stylish kilt here, should you want to pretend you were in the Crimean War too.
