Style // Tuppence - Partners in crime

I love looking at period shows for fashion inspiration . . . . Cause who doesn't want to go round and solve mysterys in awesome hats? Life goals. 

I'm really drawn to the shapes and colours Tuppence wears on the recent BBC adaption of Partners in crime, Agatha Cristies Tommy and Tuppence books. 

Plus her hair really makes me want to cut mine again!!!

: Hello :

                                           

Well hello :)

Yes it's been over a year since I took an extended break from here space. It wasn't particularly intended, I just got a bit burnt out creatively and then you know, life.

A lot has happened to me in that year, crazy jobs, a big move relocating to Italy, and dealing with everything that comes with that. 

In the last six months I have had the mental and emotional energy to start playing with different things and I realised that I missed having this space to document and keep track of inspiration, and as a visual diary of where I am creatively. 

So here I am. No pressure. I don't intend to post 3 times a week. I don't plan to use this space as a means to promote myself creatively, or to make money. It is just my journal, for me and anyone else who might be interested. I really love reading blogs, it's one thing I do to chill out and recharge creatively, and if I can add anything to the positive inspiration out there then I will be happy.

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!

 

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!!

Cycle Ladys

Alena Chandlers Blog Cycleslady, showcasing the beautiful women of Moscow and their bikes, has been inspiring me to get out on mine this spring! 

Although we will ignore the fact I look more like a sweaty mess when I cycle than these girls!!

Russian Matchboxes

Hello Friends.

Its been a while:)

January and February are best spent snuggled up watching films. I do tend to hibernate in the winter and I have decided this year that's OK!!

Anywho today the sun is shining and my brother saw a bumble bee the other day, which he reliably informs me means spring is on its way:)

My addiction to Pinterest continues. I got a little distracted the other day when I discovered the wonderful world of Russian Matchboxes:

Aren't they beautiful!! The colours are gorgeous, I would love to hang a couple of these as prints :)

Happy Tuesday Everyone:)

Knitspiration - Jo Gordon

I have fallen in love with Jo Gordon knits and her Vintage style lookbook. 

I also would quite like her models hair:)

As I have been ill for the last few days I am trying to be productive and knit while watching old films, its the most I have had time to knit for a long time and I am trying to finish off some projects that have been on my 'In Progress' list!

Have you got any nice projects on the go?

Happy Sunday everyone!!
