Packing - Ta Ta for now:)

*

So This time tomorrow I will be in sunny Africa!!!!!! Its been a mental few weeks for me and its only today as I start packing that I am starting to get excited:) I am visiting a friend for a few weeks in Ghana and its come at the right time, I am ready for a change of scenery to shake me up a bit:)
That's the thing I really love about travelling, when you step back from your comfortable surroundings it helps you put your priority's in order.

Anywho I hope all you lovelies have a good time over the holidays and I will see you in 2013!!!
Whoop Whoop!

BackArt Project



So I have really talented friends:) 
One such friend the AMAZING Jullyane took these photos for her Back Art Project a few months ago:)
I am only just getting around to posting them now so my back garden is looking a little less sunny autumn and more winter gray!!









P.S. Also Sara from Chalk White Arrow is modelling her Chevron necklace over on her blog today:)


Happy Monday Everyone!!

So yeah, things I love right now - Take 4












1. This Food- I have eaten this sweet potatoey goodness 2 times in the last few weeks and boy does it hit the spot!! Just Yum.
2. This Film- Mondays Movie night has been pretty 90's heavy recently, starting off with my favourite '10 things'.
3. This Poster-I actually believe this to be true, all great evil masterminds are fuelled by tea. Only I wouldn't be an evil mastermind. I would let everyone take the winters off and have giant Duvet parties where we could all snuggle and watch Wez Anderson films, or possibly even period dramas.
4. This Coat - Stella Jean's winter collection is so inspiring. Especially because this time next week I am going to be winging my way to AFRICA!!!!!! Yes its epic, and yes I am excited:) I am hoping to find some amazing fabric to make pencil skirts and swing coats with.
5.This Reminder- I forget sometimes to do this and get too focused on the future to think about the present.Must stop that.
6.This Song- I was searching for it for about a hour today. I had a vague memory of a song played on a impulse advert that was really soulful and beautiful, but took me a age to find it. Here it is, please take a minute to listen to Vera Hall, or Mama as I like to refer to her.

I hope you are all staying out of the cold and have not succumbed to illness as I have:( 
Happy Monday everyone!

There is something about Black and White photography that really captures me. 
Its so atmospheric and yet seems very natural, true.
One of my goals for a long time has to be to take more black and white photos and I think its time to dust off my camera and focus on snapping more:)

Don't forget to come over to Blooming Leopold and enter the giveaway:)

Anne Siems


Word cannot really describe how I feel when I look at Anne Siems paintings. 
I just want to stare at them for hours. 




Anne Siems, inspired a lot by 'By illustrations from medical and botanical books' , somehow creates something quite magical in my opinion:) 




Go take a look at her portfolio when you want to spend a while transported to a magical Tudor like land. 
I hope you all had a cool weekend, I had a busy one and so am recovering today:)
Happy Monday everyone!!
