Beaches and Graffiti in Lagos

 

Some more holiday photos, showing the beach and town centre of Lagos.

Lagos Pt 3

 

I'm getting more and more wistful each of these posts I'm putting up...I just want to go back! :'(

Severe case of the holiday blues.

 

What a gorgeous graded wall. The cobbles for streets around were speckled with blue paint too.

Missing my continental breakfasts too!

Lagos Pt 2

 

Second of what is going to be a few Lagos posts (mainly because I've got so many lovely pictures from my time there). This was one of the walls that made up a huge old fort that once protected the city. Now, thousands of tiny tiny birds live in the holes and cracks between the stones - it was a lovely sight to see and hear.

 

It was also my 22nd birthday yesterday. I had such a lovely day, spending it with friends, family, and my beautiful beau who always always spoils me rotten. Thank you to everyone for making my day so special.

Lagos in Green and Blue

 

So I've just come back from the beautiful town of Lagos in Portugal)got a major case of the holiday blues) and I'm going through some of the best photos to stick on here. Here's a few. x

Paint it blue

Here's some photos from a while back, taken with Nevare Films. I thought they were pretty fitting with the rather wet weather we've been experiencing in England at the moment. But, with all that rain, you get that beautiful, blue English light.



The Little Paris Kitchen

I am in Love.

The programme, the food, her wardrobe, the Parisian markets, her kitchen - the lot of it! Have any of you seen it? Rachel Khoo is the charming host, and she shows us around her miniscule (and I mean miniscule) kitchen, cooking up some yummy Parisian treats and traditional French meals, all while showing us around some interesting foodie places in Ole Paree :)

She moved the Paris without even speaking French, and now she's an expert in French cooking! Amazing.

 

I've asked my Beau for the cookbook for my birthday...so fingers crossed! :)

Get the look of her fabulous petite kitchen with this beautiful enamel cooking pot,

these sweet patterned tiles,

and what's the point in making delicious party treats if you can't wear a pretty frock ;) 

 

I'm back down in Landan at the mo working with the lovely Louisa Grey and Jo Cave where I'm kaing these beautiful blooms for a shoot...have a look!

 Can't wait to see them in the sets :)

Pink Palette

 

Hello everyone :)

I thought I'd pop these up. I did them a while ago when I was musing about colours, in particular Pinks. Not the garish Barbie pink you know so well, but the warm, heated, fuzzy pinks that meld seamlessly into lilacs, umbers and the palest blushes.

Swoon.

Art Love

 

Long gaps between posts can only mean one thing - busy busy busy! Just got back into drawing, and these are some of my latest sketches. Hope you like them!
