PLACES: TIM WALKER; STORY TELLER AT SOMERSET HOUSE

"Really I only photograph what I truly love. By this I mean I only get invovled with and place in front of my camera what moves me uncontrollably."

















The underlying macabre and sometimes sinister tension to Tim Walker's photography, combined with a fantasical sense of drama and glamour makes them incredibly alluring and fascinating. Simply awe-inspiring.

STREETSTYLE: 90s GOTH






Not strictly streetstyle... I styled a shoot for my store with photographer, the ever wonderful Emily Scarlett Romain. I love photographing Bryony, she's such a natural infront of the camera and has great 90s Spice Girl style - see here if you don't believe me.

For the full set of Autumn lookbook photos check out my store's Facebook page (and hey, you might as well give it a Like whilst you're there).


Also, don't you love how the hair/sunglasses/purple lipstick combo make her look as though she should be in En Vogue (my current style icons) in their 90s heyday? I do.

SHOPPING: THE CALAMITY KIDS SHOP

So... I am starting my own ickle wickle concession at BLITZ VINTAGE DEPARTMENT STORE. I have been spending all my spare time sourcing some dead good girly chintz and dead weird curios. ALONGSIDE... drum roll please... these little gems! As a little girl I never had My Little Pony, so it is a constant struggle to fight the desire to keep getting the collection out and regressing to about six years old. Talk about nostalgia.
