angels amoung us

those who know me well are all too aware of my overwhelming love of children, more specifically babies. 

so, to kick off this beautiful (or rainy) weekend, I thought I would leave you with a few images that make my day anytime I look at them.

the last photo is priceless and all too reminiscent of my childhood- where it was ok to pick up fallen apples from the orchard and mow down, worms included, where we used to ride our gigantic beast of a black lab, where we would run from the goats before they tore off our clothing, where we would drink straight from the hose and the water never tasted so good. 

babies on a farm, is life ever so sweet again?

Cut off Denim Shorts

Are where its at.

Zara over the knee boots

Even though it is getting into Spring, it hasn't really started to feel like it yet. I guess that's the reason I have been obsessing over last seasons Zara over the knee/thigh high boots. A bit late of me I know. I've been scouring the internet like a mad woman trying to find some to buy. Gorgeous suede leather and very tight fitting with a low stilleto heel, very delicate looking.

Not loving the super high platform ones that are around - like the topshop ones - think they are a bit serious and not for everyday wear. Also not a fan of ones that aren't really well fitted around the thigh, a bit pretty woman for me. If I can find the Zara ones I am sure I will wear them - even in summer (a depressing thought!) Natalie from Canned Fashion wears them perfectly.

Sping Scalloping

Obsessed with scalloping at the moment, thinking about doing a bit of a DIY with some pants I have - making some scalloped shorts. Would probably involve shortening the pants and creating a scalloped hem. Queens wardrobe are doing am amazing job of copying Chloe's best pieces.

DIY Flower Headbands...

The Cherry Blossom Girl has a great flower crown DIY. So Easy! Although When I make mine it will be a little sparser - like Lousie’s from Miss Pandora. Something to add to the DIY List.

YSL Arty Rings

Rings have neever been a big thing for me but love these ones.

London Tweed Ride!

Was relaxing in Hyde Park a couple of weeks ago and stumbled upon the London Tweed Ride - a bike ride where everyone gets dressed up in their best tweed (for the men) and betty draper dresses (for the women). Definitely getting organised for the next one. Love the oldschool travelling cocktail van too!

Go to the Tweed Run website to sign up for the next one, but places are limited!

Potted Rose Bush

Something cute for the house… although I do seem to have a knack for killing everything of the plant variety as soon as it comes into the house.

In love with these art works, Just Laugh!!!

Let's keep pouring blood on me!

Blood, pouring on me.

Simply by your preconception and taunting.

But, one thing you don't know,

and you never know,

is,

I LOVE BLOOD

I look at the mirror, then

I ask myself,

" What's wrong with me?"

"but"

" There are nothing wrong with me."

I heard,

I saw,

and I can even smell you, bad breathe.

Let's keep pouring blood on me,

I don't and I won't be nasty,

Cause,

It's good to be nasty!

not . okay

I can't stop looking at this picture because it's really infuriating me right now. I'm getting so tired of all these fashion editorials where girls are put into really sexual positions that just look degrading. Do girls really like looking at these things or are these fashion editorials just for guys? I feel weird about reposting it, but I'm hoping people will comment with their thoughts on the subject.

Silky Rompers

Was in London Fields on the weekend (the park fills up on a sunny day with ‘cool kids’ from all over hackney, spotted more than one fashion victim) and noticed that the rays had brought out people’s high summer gear. Cute silky rompers were romping all over the joint - worn with spotted tights for when the sun goes down and its 2 degrees.

Alexander Wang Inspired Sunglasses

Great tip from Luxirare on Alexander Wang style sunglasses on ebay, snapped them up immediately and have already got tonnes of wear out of them. I know Forever21 have done a similar pair in the states.

There is another pair from the same seller which I love, round ones that flip up - a la lady gaga, when flipped up look a bit mickey mouse. Although I think the large round frames need to be tried on the be believed...
