Seeing Double

 

I don't really know that much about Frida Kahlo but seem to have quite a lot of Frida inspired trinkets, etc. I know she had great clothes and girl power though.

An Unlikely Couple

Frida Kahlo and Tutankhamun hanging out together on my necklace today.

One Off is about to launch its very own exclusive jewellery collection, exciting! Stay tuned for more.

Light it Up

Unintentionally, but very happily I am slowly building up an embellished matchbox collection. Can't wait for the next addition to the pack.

Watermelon Frida

 

Sugared jelly fruit segments and a glitter encrusted Frida Kahlo matchbox. What finer souvenirs could there be? Courtesy of Hermione who recently got back from a holiday in Mexico. Both remind me of sunnier times, even as far flung as Summer 2011 on my beloved Uxbridge Road:

Wishful

On Tuesday I was in St Margaret's for Hermione's birthday, which included a massive fire outside (which was so hot I thought I could constantly smell my eyebrows singeing) and lots of paper lanterns.

This is a rubbish picture of a Frida Kahlo frame/picture resting against a huge moon-shaped candle. Daisy had just come back from Mexico and was laden down with Mexican gifts for Min. Couldn't help noticing that the evening was dominated by spherical shapes (fire place, candles, lanterns). Too much?
