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. 

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

Namesake

When you're 16 and literally can't think of ANYTHING cooler than making a pair of jeans in to a mini skirt and sewing your name in gold beads. A great archive find...

Incredible embellishment and embroidery from the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition at the Bowes Museum last month. I love the little jacket above especially - definitely a stand out party piece for Christmas!

Diwali in Neasden

 Beautifully dressed women in Neasden last night celebrating Diwali. I've never seen better dressed rubbish collectors

 

 Diwali dinner ladies behind the scenes making breads for curries - all hands on deck

 Alongside tons of amazing curries were pizza and chips - boxes packed to the rafters ready to go

Wallpaper

My kind of wallpaper at The Roost, a location I was working at earlier this week

And my kind of Burberry jacket, if only it wasn't the most impractical jacket for me in the world
