Diary 176: A Day Sourcing at Spitafields Market

I am to create something something for Jaclyn's lovely boutique Audrey Grace. Went sourcing yesterday at Spitalfields Market. On Thursday's they have the Antique Market which I Love:)!

Did too go to The Breakfast Club to do some work afterwards.....and it's actually where I am now but in their Hoxton location instead of the Spitalfields one.

I wore a pinafore pastel blue dress by Dream & Awake with a Three Dots T beneath.

Have A Beautiful Friday Lovely People:)

Diary 175: A Tiny Prepp Tuesday

I am prepping for a little shoot of mine:) So am running around town a tiny bit.

Today was too a new experience...went to Westfield Shopping Center in West London and was slightly OverWhelmed since it's Huge. Severely Tired after this one. Will bring my lovely Mother here though when she comes to visit, she will love it.

Did go to Top Shop and fell in love with a couple (among them a rip of a dress from Victoria by Victoria Beckham's collection:):) ) of things, no I did not buy anything.

Took a walk down to the Thames:) Such Beauty down there.

The last image/s are random things from my iPhone that inspires me at the moment.

The flowers & food images are from Whole Foods. Went there this morning for an energy drink.

Diary 174: A Weekend in August

My weekend could have started in a better fashion, but sometimes things happens right?? What matters is that as a whole it's been an amazing one. Today was full of inspirations and blessings:) Tomorrow awaits a vintage lovely day with my adorably talented friend Lucy. All Always Works out for the Best.

I have fallen madly in love with the camera app Line:) And have gotten MAD silly at the same time....hahaha.

Mornings as always starts with (image 10) what I call Please Dear God in Heaven:)

Come Kiss Me YES???!

My brain has been fed in its utmost from nature and then in the works of Financial Times Weekend, The Sunday Times (as well as Saturday's..), Vanity Fair and the Wonderful Graydon Carter together with some self help books sorting my thoughts out:)

Music? Some Die Young, Sweet Hello Sad Good Bye, Parlor, Lullaby, anything Niklas Stromstedt and and and and Mix Megapol.

Young sharp lady? Frida of GT. New woman I look up to. Such a mind. More of these woman please. That Energy of Frida woke me up by a million.

Me? I've been wearing Vintage full of prints and colors. For me this is yes.

Oh and YES I am prepping.

Hallelujah.

Much Love To Ya All

All That You Need Is Within You Now.
