Ballet love

Ah these make me miss my ballet days. Cade Martin has a beautiful way of presenting his subjects. I wonder where I can get a print of the first photo - that's my absolute favourite.

J Crew October

J. Crew, you really need to stop tempting me. The colours, the styling - everything's just perfect. *sigh*

Vintage wedding dresses

All pictures from the website.

Don't read too much into this - I'm by no means anywhere near getting married, but I've spent the better part of an hour this morning browsing The Vintage Wedding Dress Company's beautiful gallery of brides in their gowns. If ever I do get married, I'd love a dress from here. Prices range from £1,000 - £4,000. Ouch. Perhaps I should start saving now?

Tight for winter

Now that winter's on its way, I've gone a little tights-mad. In the space of 2 weeks, I've bought 3 pairs of tights.

The first pair I bought was these House of Holland for Pretty Polly tights (right) because I liked the over-the-knee sock effect. Also, those little houses? Too cute.

And then serendipitiously, after clicking through the Chanel S/S 2010 slideshow and falling in love with the lace-up-effect on the tights, I came across these Wolfords with a similar look, with the added bonus of ribbon which you can tie around your calf. Of course I had to buy them.

Finally, while browsing online, I came across these beautiful gold Sphinx tights from Bebaroque. On sale too. There was only one option - click and buy.

I know, they're all black. I really should branch out to more colour.

What is art?

Interesting quote found within the leaflet I picked up while visiting the Pop Life exhibition at the Tate Modern yesterday:

I am fascinated with a distinction made between high and low art. I characterise art as that which is compelling to the viewer or listener. I characterise an artist as someone who can create something from nothing, that makes people feel an emotion they cannot experience through any other means.

- McG, director of Akhihabara Majokko Princess, in a collaboration with Takashi Murakami

The exhibition is definitely worth a visit, although admittedly not the best place to go on a second date, due to the rather adult nature of some of Jeff Koons' work. Slightly awkward. :)

Summer holiday

In Fira, Santorini

Visiting the Acropolis, Athens

Whoa has it been a month since I last blogged? Time's a-flying, summer's over and it's now autumn. I just got back from a lovely break in Greece and have so many pictures to show...that's if I get to them. It's time to dig out the winter-wear and remember the sunshine by looking back at my photos.
