Dream Boats and Pink Cats
Friday I was lucky enough to visit the Design Museum and check out the stunning Tim Walker exhibition. I have been completely in awe of Tim’s styling and photography ever since I saw his ‘White Night’ photo shoot in Vogue, it not only captured my imagination but it really did capture a mystical and magical view of folk Russia (see the image below).
I think the way I feel about all the Tim Walker photographs is that I share his sense of beautiful fantasy, everything he shoots is so alive, because he makes it so. It escapes reality, but never too far away to be silly – skimming the edges of fairy tales. The over saturation of colours reminds me of my childhood spent looking at old book and playing with highly colourful, picturesque 1960′s Victory puzzles. I think I always assumed life would be like one of those puzzle pictures, idillic and over saturated and looking at Tim Walker’s photographs reminds me that I’m not the only one who’d like life to be a little richer in colour and little bit less serious. Beautiful!
Happy Birthday to a Boy and a Doll
Ok, so it’s fair to say I have been the worst blogger of late. Not only have I neglected to post on here (thanks for the kind words Little Lj) but also I forgot to even give Little Doll Face’s 1 year Birthday a mention. Horrible, horrible blogger! Anyway I’m back now and ready to get back on it. By the way Little Doll Faces official Birthday was the 5th July – so I guess I’m 10 days late!
Anyway it was also someone else’s Birthday the other day too (Miles) and this is where these photo are taken from. The lovely cakes are from Lola’s Kitchen and man were they tasty. Carrot, vanilla, banana and chocolate were the flavours that they came in and the carrot was super yum! Miles and I spent the day out and about in London – it was really nice to have London to ourselves on a quiet weekday. So, happy birthday Miles and happy birthday Little Doll Face. Plus a really big thank you to anyone who has read or inspired my blog over the past year – it’s been so much fun having somewhere to share all the pretty things in life. x
