can you believe....xx

...how much young young talent there is out there? at 13 & 14 i was already interested in fashion & being creative, and i suppose i could use the excuse that the internet wasn't there when i was that age, but even still i'm not sure i would have been impressing the world with my photography or views on fashion as some do today. i think it's wonderful that there's outlets such as blogs & flickr, where the creative talent of teenagers can show itself....but also have to admit how envious i am of them! to be, or at least seem to be, that together at that age, blows me away....

of particular mention....
olivia bee
simply beautiful photography

i'd wish them luck, but somehow don't think they need it

enjoying a quiet sunday night, candles are lit & the roast is cooking

paris windows....x

have had a busy but good week at work.....resulting in very very little blogging time....have finally had chance to download some of my paris photos, well the ones from my camera at least....there are more, but still working out how to download from my new phone!

lovely paris shop windows.....

this was such a lovely window
a gorgeous shift wedding dress of lace layered over a pleated chiffon dress
with
a mini me bridesmaid dress to match
x

the prada shop on rue saint honore was divine
stunningly simple beautiful clothing
and am in complete love with the new handbag range for spring10

x

i think this was fendi
well, whoever it was they had great windows...such fun
great icecream colour mopeds & bubble cars with brides falling out of them, over them, into them

x

my saturday is currently quite misty & rainy, but in a way i don't mind that
till tomorrow

123 elysees...xx

paris was lovely...weather was so cold, but bright & sunny at the same time...didn't find the time to do half of the things we wanted, but found some gorgeous new shops & saw lots of lovely things...

the hotel we stayed in was one of the nicest i've found in paris....how can you go wrong with pistachio, lavender & candy pink velvet covered sofas & chairs, a huge feather covered lightshade in the lobby, and a path of led lights embedded into black&white tiles and worn wooden flooring...
