In stitches

Have been trying out some new embroidery stitches recently, and got inspired by what I was wearing....

Dazzle

So much embellishment around for SS17! Had a great time at a few press days earlier this week - particularly loved the crazy plethora of embellishment on the Charles Jeffrey boxer shorts (above).

Dreams of Miu Miu

New Bond Street, September 2016

Grotto

I always enjoy making the journey to Hauser + Wirth, Saville Row and peering in at tailor's workshops below street level.

Mike Kelley takes up two rooms at the gallery at the moment with 'Framed and Frame', aiming to explore the place between reality and the imagined.

Detail from Chinatown Wishing Well

Mike Kelley, 1999

Interested in Middle America's 'diverse and alternative subcultures', Kelley presents two installations that look at Los Angeles' marginalised Chinese-American community. Honestly, it's pretty weird. The grotto-like piece (above) consists of spray painted concrete with religious paraphernalia stuck and frozen on to its facade. It has a small cave underneath it, where a tatty looking mattress is hidden - it all feels a bit dark.

Detail from Chinatown Wishing Well

In some ways I was surprised it left me feeling a bit cold - aesthetically it ticks lots of boxes: the candy coloured spritz' of colour, the gaudy religious trophies - both things I really like. It reminded me of the drug fuelled hippie days described by Eileen Myles in her autobiography 'Chelsea Girls' which I've just finished. (NB: not for the faint hearted).

It also sort of reminded me (in a good way) of Koons piece, 'Play Doh' which you can catch at Newport Street Gallery now.

Play Doh
Jeff Koons, 1999 - 2014
3 Americans working at the same time, there's probably something in that (insert emoticon with rolling eyes here).

Treasure

Latest charity shop treasure. Very attracted to red at the moment...

Autumn on its way...

Just home from a week in Majorca, seeing out the last of the heat that summer has to offer... Stepping off the plane at Gatwick is always a bit of a shock! Especially when you're still wearing your sunblock smeared (and small) beach clothes from a last minute dash to the beach before take off.

 But things could be worse, especially when your flatmate's a florist and creates beautiful autumnal bunches like this.

Slightly dark but interesting paintings by George Shaw at the National Gallery at the moment

Spain

A week of rest and reading... and gin and tonics and a delicious diet of beige

Lunch in Madrid at what I think is my favourite restaurant (ever).

Counting down the days....

...to a week in baking hot central Spain

Party bags

Last weekend's party bags

Feeling gutted the beads are loosening on my smiley face bag...

Wardrobe in the woods

A dreamy set up last weekend on location - until the rain came! New editorial in the pipeline....

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...

Matching father and son looks - reminds me of holidays in Spain as a child, and marvelling at smartly dressed and matching families.
