My Fairy Collage


“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”

- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

An End To October With Some Art, Some Nature & Some Breakfasts (and some wine of course)!











I have had a lovely weekend staying in East Dulwich for the most part. The beauty when fall comes is beyond perfection. Life is starting over it feels like, Such A Refreshing Feeling.

Yesterday I went to The Horniman Museum for the first time:) It's so close to my house so it's funny that I have never been. Especially since on my morning walks I pass by this museum almost every day...! I went to see an exhibit showing extinct animals (in photographs), say HI to DODO:)))! Then I wandered off to Forest Hill where I stumbled upon an exhibition by Pawel Wasek at The Montage Gallery which is on top of a very cute cafe of the same name. Afterwards I went to The Hill to sit & read my new Lula issue. The walls were covered in old portrait paintings. The house white was very good as well:)

images top to bottom: 1&2 beauty I have found on my morning walks. 3-5 the weekend's healthy breakfasts. 6 The wonder of Pawel Wasek. 7 DODO:))) by Sean Dooley at The Horniman Musuem. The exhibition is called After Life. 8 beauty at The Hill. 9 Pizza in the making outside of Franklins Farmshop on Saturday. 10&11 Inspiration & my reading while enjoying a glass of wine at Franklins. I love Franklins.

at the moment I am baking:)) Spelt bread Hallelujah. Wish me LUCK!

The Fairy's Song:)))

"Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear."


- William Shakespeare's Fairy's Song from A Midsummer Night's Dream

happy friday beautiful nymph fairy violet's

Love of Today: Louis Vuitton




I went to Louis Vuitton's press day yesterday. They were showcasing their Spring/ Summer & Resort collections for 2014!

The Resort Collection was wonderful! The dresses reminded me of a young Jacqueline Kennedy:) the lifestyle she & her handsome husband Jack had....! The bags, scarves, bathing suit & flats just wanted to DRAG me to the beach Jackie style.
