Begin and then the work will be completed."

–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Today is East Dulwich Saturday Loveliness...:)) HA!

I Love Saturdays! Everyone is in a good mood because of being off from work. Doing their weekly shopping that they do not have time to do during week only to afterwards sit down at the local pub for a little while.

Today I took a long walk in the cold. Listening to Henry & June & The Delta of Venus (both Anais Nin); ohlalalala need I say more??!:).

I have cleaned my house (well my way of  cleaning anyways haha) & checked all the new shows from Milan on Style.com. Even got dressed to go out; will soon go to my Franklins to read Zoo which is full of Irina Ionesco:))) The issue is dedicated to her so it has a long interview together with many unpublished images of hers. Collage making and The Guardian is to happen to.

Today's Outfit:
Cacharel blouse, 70's denim dress from Beyond Retro, grandma's heart & Office mary janes.  Not seen: Grandma's handknitted blue cardigan from the 80's and Ida Sjostedt's faux fur jacket.

Much Love

An Ice Cold Thursday in February

It's been SO cold today, I thought I was going to break in half...!!! Finally back home in Dulwich:)))

I did go to take a look at this studio up in Hackney and the owner turned out to be so lovely. Brought my Solantania Amorina doll to take "test" pictures of for testing of the light which some found amusing, haha. I had planned to go to Spitalfields market but because of it being outside I decided to go to Artwords and treat myself to a magazine to read at The Breakfast Club instead:0)

Clockwise from top left: me (in a Cacharel blouse) at The Breakfast Club marrying The Strawberry Girl. MKII Studios has a section where they sometimes have exhibitions and fell in love with this painting. Old inspirations from Vogue Italia. My polaroid of Solantania Amorina on top of the magazine I bought at Artwords.

I need to add something. My grandmother passed away in the fall and today is her birthday. I woke up and checked my iPhone calendar so it was the first thing that was on my mind. I am mostly sad for my mother, aunt and my twin uncles. They lost a wonderful mother. I lost a Dearest grandmother whom always stood by me no matter what ( usually behind my lovely lovely grandfather but mind you, she was the boss haha)!

Much Love
Alice Solantania Saga

Today is Sweet




Cacharel blouse, grandma's heart, Jack Wills skirt and Office mary janes.

Off to take a look at a studio for a shoot I am creating soon. Then Spitalfields antiques market:)

Have A Sweet Day.

Ah...

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy...
Dream a dream
And what you see will be...

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never ending story"
