Trick or Treat.


Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen 
If I was going out tonight I would have been searching to recreate something reminiscent of a victorian schoolgirl, Inspired by the last photograph of the beautiful Chloe dress... it will have to wait until next year.

global.


I have this photograph saved to my desktop- 
discovered one day while scouring interior blogs. For about 4 years I have searched for the perfect globe but never had any success... maybe Im just too picky, or not looked in the right place or more recently worried they are almost too predictable, and I should steer clear? No escaping the fact that this collection is divine.

last nights dinner.


Dinner at Australasia in Manchester last night- never fails to impress with the beautiful decor, attention to detail, presentation and divine flavours.
I love the magic of the miniature glass teapot filled with mango sauce ready to drizzle into the souffle!
Has anybody else visited? I cant seem to get enough.

snap x fashion week.


Looking through street fashion photography on street fsn, style.com- Tommy Ton, Facehunter, and Nobody Knows Marc... You can imagine my suprise to find a bag bought as a gift from Thailand snapped on someone at New York fashion week?! Amazed.
Pink and pattern isn't usually my thing but somehow bright sunlight makes every colour look sensational ( Photos taken recently on holiday in Lanzarote)

a macaroon amaze.


A treasured day off = my new Asos 'Amaze' shoes arrived... 
way ahead of schedule and I am amazed. 

Vaguely reminiscent of the Alexander Wang Constance boots mixed up with Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel vision in 2010 with the whole perspex and iceberg ensemble, that will remain forever embedded in my memory. 

Now for my first attempt at making the French fancy- macaroons. I now have Lorraine Pascale's recipe, along with a specialist book and crossed fingers.
 If they are successful I promise photos to follow.

make a statement.


I adore the statement pieces in this collection of photos I cant help but save to my desktop. 

On a similar note...I saw this incredible statement collar featured in a magazine and straight away thought it was Mawi.... only to discover it now online at Topshop.com- £40.00. I just hope its as good in the flesh!

green on repeat.


I seem to be stuck on repeat with these green jeans....they have turned into a 'go to' wardrobe item for me  .. I am craving some time off from work to immerse myself in all the fashion shows and fashion weeks blogs and photographs, magazines and books I dont have enough hours in the day for right now.
Does anyone else feel this way?
