I ♥ This!

Liberty Print Beadnell Jacket, Barbour. A/W 2011 collection. I know that unfortunately Barbour jackets have become associated with East London 'hipsters', but I do like this. With my work being just around the corner from Liberty, I can not help myself from passing through this amazing department store full of delightful goods, during my lunch break. As we have an inaccessible toilet at work at the moment, I find myself 'going to the loo' (at Liberty's) so I can have a quick browse. Hehe.

Cousin Caz has the red roses version.

Young Souls

Went to an exhibition opening of Dean Chalkley's photography the other night with Caz & Saz.

"Famed for his iconic portraits of the world’s brightest music stars and compelling snapshots of youth subcultures, Chalkley’s latest body of work is presented by Art, Fashion and Culture media title 125 magazine. View the Young Souls short film Working to a theme based around Religion, Chalkley’s Young Souls touches on the culture of Northern Soul".

After a couple of complimentary elderflower & lime ciders each, we were feeling a tad peckish and ended up in a delightful Italian bakery/restaurant on Wardour street, called Princi. The food was displayed and was a wondrous sight to behold. Mouthwatering cakes and delicious pizzas and other extras.


Was a fun night. Sarina was upset when we left her:

Drink, Shop & Do

There's a shop/cafe/bar in my area where you can drink, shop and get creative (do). It's in a listed building with grand high ceilings and original features. All the vintage furniture in the bar area are for sale and to get to this area you need to enter through the back of the small boutique, which sells ceramics, jewellery, homewares, stationary and other (lovely) stuff. I went with Cousin Caz and we were a bit snap happy, after a visit to the German Gymnasium with our German friend Sarina to check out the inspirational Vivian Maier exhibition.

Check out the tiles. I Like Love!

Yellow Fever!

And my nephews, with their cute 'tattoos'. You can't really see the tatt clearly on the arm of youngest one, last pic is close up of tatt on eldest nephew. Apparently even after scrubbing it doesn't come off for weeks. Just thought you should know, in case you were thinking of getting one done ;) I remember when I was young, these fake tatts would just slide off when in contact with water.
