London Underground

*

I have lived in London for about 5 years now. 
Sometimes I love it, sometimes not so much.
 However there isnt anything that says London to me like the underground. So when I sawe these old posters floating around on Pinterest I felt like I had to do a quick post on them!



London 1963.

Its been a bit of a funny year for me so far. . . . .not in a bad way but just in a ''not quite sure whats going to happen in the future'' way.
It will all work out though, but until then I guess I wont be as present here as I was last year.
If anyone still reads this out there on the grand big blogsphere I will keep posting occasionally.
Until the next time however, I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

1. This cake recipe- I made this Earl Gray Chocolate Cake the other day with friend, and YES it is amazing:)
2. This photo- By Marcin Ryczek in Poland.
3. Ballet - This photo reminds me how much I love ballet
4. Miss Marple - I am having a bit of a Agatha Christie week this week, re watching a load of the old episodes and have found myself dressing more and more like her. . . unlikely fashion icon:)
5. Hats - Oh dear, my hat addiction just doesn't seem to be going away, it seems to be getting worse!! I blame Marple slightly.
6. This Print - the truest thing I've heard in a long time:)

I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend, which hopefully involve Unicorns.
Happy Friday:)

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!

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!!
