My version of Van Gogh's boots

Boots with Laces, 1886

Bought from a flea market in Paris and not worn (didn't fit) but instead painted many times

Muddy Boots

Festival season is over, and my favourite boots of Hannah's live on to tell the tale... There's a great shoot in there somewhere

Boots

I bought these amazing vintage boots for a shoot a few months back but never actually used them - until very recently. Can't wait to show off about how great they look in the bigger picture...

Now all I need to do is work out a way to wear them myself

Fishing II

A few more looks from a favourite shoot I did this year, and have already boasted about here.

Gone Fishing

 A few of my favourite looks from a recent shoot I styled. Fisherman chic and all that.

Dig by Daniel Silver

Today I went to the exhibition 'Dig' by artist Daniel Silver. Curated by Artangel, the sculpture was displayed in what was once one of the biggest Odeon cinemas in central London but has now been reduced to a building site. The artwork and site worked so well together that even though sculpture isn't always my thing, I found the installation thought provoking and inspiring.

The downstairs dungeon bit is the part you've probably already seen on someone's instagram. I loved the swampy boardwalk around the standing statues.

And I really liked this unintentional art work by the invigilators

Fire

My brother and I had fun last week in Cornwall throwing a bonfire party for my grandparents. George was in charge of the rockets, I was allowed to light the little ones............. Turns out the pound shop sells great matches, and I reckon George is looking pretty good in one of the worlds hardest garments, that lovely anorak.
