Another Galaxy

I came across this amazing film by Terje Sorgjerd whilst browsing the inter web and for some reason, seeing this wide open expanse of beautiful sky and land, made me realise how tiny we are in the great scheme of things, and the problems I see as great obstacles in my life, are really not even a blip on the radar... watch the film here, but here are some snapshots.

I am actually in love with the night sky, stars, nebulae and galaxies alike. so it comes as no surprise that I'm also in love with these leggings from black milk... i've also made a mix, the fruit of my deep thought.

feeling hot hot hot....

I thought seeing as winter seems to be drawing to a close (touch wood anyway) that I should post the last few wintery photos from an amazing trip skiing in france so readers enjoy the sights of snow and ice before sunshine finally arrives!

Mr Sandman, Bring me a dream...

today, was so dreamlike and beautiful, I was reminded why I love spring; Fresh air, flowers and the sun painting everything in a deliciously warm golden glow.  

  

inspired by spring '11 romantic flowery trend, 

and with that romance, a theme tune: 

'Mr. Sandman bring us a dream

Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam

Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci

And lots of wavy hair like Liberace'

(afterthought: wow I look tired...)

Spring is HERE!

In the mood for spring? Then check out my new 8tracks mix in the sidebar...

I love the feeling of knowing that the days of leaving the house wearing thermal underwear, and a gazilion other items of thick knitwear, are drawing to a close. If the sun would like to pop over to england at any point that would be good too...

The first song in my mix is Daylight by Matt & Kim.. everything about this song makes me want to dance around, with a big cheshire smile plastered all over my face.

I mean, how can you not be in love with people like this!

Just close your eyes, let me hypnotise you...

I am in love with Manish Arora's Spring/Summer '11 collection, there is something so hypnotising about the bright colours and snake like patterns... and I have to be getting myself some of those latex leggings! I am like a magpie to all things golden and sparkly, so it's no surprise that I was introduced to this designer through a advertising campaign for a gold sparkly top, which is literally the most beautiful thing in existence but alas cannot be found anywhere (believe me I have looked!) on the www! So in the style of the recent oscars, I would like to thank NYLON for thrusting me towards this amazing designer and his Beautifully intricate designs... 

I have always had a thing for hypnotism, and whether it can actually be achieved. It does scare me though, if it can be successfully performed, how vulnerable we are to hypnotists! They could achieve anything... and this world would turn all bernard's watch - (an incredibly british children's program on about 7 years ago, where a boy had a magic watch which could freeze time). At my school we used to have a stand-in teacher who was supposedly a hypnotist, which always put me slightly on edge... 

any who, I leave you with this slightly provocative choon, which you are vary much entitled to enjoy 5 minutes and 33 seconds of pure techno excitement, (you are allowed to do a bit of crazy dancing to this one) permitted the sub-woofer is turned up loooouuud!

A recipe to bake yourself happy....

In an attempt to become S and B, two gorgeous fictional 'it girls', S and I attempted the baking of some very 'upper east side' macaroons.....

To put it simply, after about 2 hours having completed these almondy pebbles of loveliness, I have eaten about tray full (12ish) and am feeling far less gossip girl but more, too-full-to-move girl.... ah well you only live once....

So why spend it hungry ?

The macaroons themselves....

Heart carvings

The disasters mixed with ice cream.....

Or drizzled with chocolate

and for those of you feeling inspired and in need of a delicious sugar hit...

we'll send you the recipe free of charge

Enjoy
