Little Doodles

I'd quite like my hair to be this colour.  I'm contemplating taking this illustration with me on my next visit to the hairdresser but I fear I might be met with laughter....

Stella McCartney: Rodden dress

Miu Miu: Metal belt with flower

Chanel backpack bunny....the only way to carry carrots

 I'm ashamed to admit I don't make the most of London's wonderful parks.  Perhaps if I lived or worked near to one it would be the perfect lunchtime escape destination.  So in the meantime I'll entertain myself with some park themed goods...picnics and ice creams all round!

 

Bill Amberg: The Royal Parks bag

Habitat: Kids picnic set

Laura Tabor: Ice cream ring

 So fashion week is nearly upon us but I'm still poring over the Autumn/Winter collections.  There's something about a nice cozy jumper that appeals more than floaty summer dresses.  Bring on the knitwear!

When I'm tired and all else fails to cheer me I turn to cute animals and jewellery

These beauties by Hillier do the trick nicely.

Hillier necklaces available at Matches and Colette

Filson : Tan rucksack

Burberry Prorsum: Wool Coat

 

A visit to the wonder of a shop that is Merchant Archive reminded me of the work of Jessica McCormack and left me longing for New York

Charm Bracelets: Scosha

Sew Much To Do necklace by Eclectic Eccentricity 

Bowl by Basander Lundin Design

No matter how many chests of drawers I buy I still find I have things to fill them with...but with designs like these, by Wis Design, I wouldn't mind having a house full of them.

A beautiful collection of jewellery handbags and headpieces by Carianne Moore

Today I'm loving the latest collection by Annemie Verbeke.  Not only because of the sublime styling of  (there's something painterly about these two looks but I can't quite put my finger on it) or because I'm partial to an animal print accessory but because of the ethos behind her brand, "the desire to achieve a personal view on sublime "daily life" clothes."

Coming back from Spitalfields market filled with regret for not buying these

Some people love the crusty end of a loaf, I on the other hand, don't.

Coming soon...hand beaded medals

Mount Vernon in Hampstead, so many signs for one road.

As a paper addict, I'm blown away by the work of Ana Hagopian. Not only because of the whimsical yet ethereal design of her jewellery but also the fact that it's all made out of paper.  Inspired by both organic shapes and colours of the natural world and the various textures she recycles, Ana creates pieces that are both delicate and bold at the same time.  They border the fine line between jewellery and art (which to be honest works as one for me).

Fred & Friends: XYZ Blocks

Ten Thousand Things: Good Fortune letter charms 

Alphabet Bags: Coin purse

I love the whole concept of 180g , who aim to colour a selection of items (from silk dresses to flannel jackets) to your exact requirements so that the shade reflects your mood.  I remember the days of the mood ring (mine never ever changed from blue or green.  Either it was defective or I am an extremely calm person!) but I much prefer this idea.
