clean lines

i want a telephone stool like this and a kitchen like that and a floor like the other...via the city sage



ooh tattoo

spotted this lovely tattoo via etsy - looks like it could be the work of Canadian artist Yann Black from  your meat is mine who influenced my own tattoo... nice...

sunshine & rain

the last couple of weeks in LA have hosted two award shows with two climates: rain at the Golden Globes, followed by sunshine at the SAG Awards.  there were some fabulous frocks on show and these were my picks...

at the Golden Globes....beautiful bodices...

Jennifer Anniston in valentino



Kate Winslet in yves saint laurent 



the ever glamorous Sophia Loren in armani prive



and my fave would have to be Christina Aguilera in versace looking very Fritz Lang's Metropolis

and from the SAG Awards a week later....


Kate Hudson looking absolutely fabulous in emilio pucci



i love Mo'Nique in badgely mischka



not a popular choice it seems but i like it...Edie Falco in bottega veneta


 old school 40s glamour...Sandra Bullock in alexander mcqueen



and last but not least...the boys were lookin' hot too...here's Colin Firth and Tom Ford in his own designs

a bird in the bag

i love this Marc Jacobs bag, available at net-a-porter...

salt'n'pepper....?

always wanted these David Shrigley salt'n'pepper shakers but they sold out as soon as they were made...they are now available again thru the polite shop but at 70 smackers a pop i don't think i can justify even this purchase...

in the pink...and grey....

beautiful pinks and greys from vanessa bruno via this is glamorous

cluck cluck

last night i dreamed of chasing, catching and holding a chicken...and after discovering that chickens don't even feature in my little dream book i have researched this further online and this is what i found:
"dreaming about chickens means that good times are just around the corner"...how nice

coincidentally today's Etsy email contains lots of lovely chicken related products....







heavenly wallpaper

i love this wallpaper by louise body - i definitely want it...am going to send off for some samples to try it out on the walls...
and maybe a bit of this too...woohoo!
