Love Flowers: Oriole & Thistle and Wild At Heart Posted by Unknown |

Flowers by Nikki Tibbles Wild At Heart  

I've been the lucky recipient of some of the most wonderful flowers recently. A lavish bouquet of garden roses from Nikki Tibbles Wild At Heart (the florist at Liberty's) and a beautifully fresh and wild posy of freesias, veronicas, lisianthus and larkspur from Hackney's own boutique florist and small art gallery Oriole & Thistle run by Elaine Waldron. Just perfect for the most romantic of occasions – including weddings! Love flowers and love photographing them.

You'll have seen them a million times before – despite only launching their debut spring collection in 2010 – Illesteva (set up by New Yorkers Daniel Silberman and Jus Ske who wanted to design glasses you could give "...to your grandkids 50 years from now" ) on celebs, on the catwalk, in fashion editorial and yet the designs still manage to make me gasp every time I see them. These are my favourites currently doing the rounds.

What I'm Wearing: Paint Splattered Suit & eBay Find Posted by Unknown |

It was bound to happen; my new found delight in baby clothes was always going to find its way onto the blog. Plus my need for easy-to-wear nursing clothes continues to shape my shopping habit. So here we have little suits for delicious babies (flecks of white on blues) by Kidscase and a joyfully coloured nursing dress by eBay shop Naturally Romantic.

(Handy props: hand-sewn quilt and cushion, second hand rocking chair and lamp, peacock feathers and old framed prints.)

Forthcoming sock line from ASOS menswear looking good...

Dark Dreamy Swedish Synth Pop: iamwhoiamwhoami Posted by Unknown |

I haven't posted music in a while but there's little choice with iamwhoiamwhoami who has released debut album kin earlier this year (first interview with the Swedish singer/songwriter/multi-media artist Jonna Lee in her new incarnation here). From the school of Fever Ray and so good with it. Plus the pale blonde lashes, the costumes, the colours... all too good.

Sunday afternoons in the park by the river Posted by Unknown |

Blissful Sunday afternoons. Love a park far removed from the frantic dervish of many of London's better known green spaces. This one is sleepy and next to a canal full of houseboats. Springfield Park. Keep it on the quiet. The building on the bottom right is one we pass to get to the park and used to house old aviation company De Havilland – they started out making 1920s two seater planes like the wonderfully named Gipsy and Tiger Moth.

That Holiday Feeling From We Are Handsome Posted by Unknown |

Drooling over We Are Handsome's animal swimsuits I came across this vintage photo on their blog. No idea where it came from but it sure does make me feel like skipping off to somewhere where there are rolling waves nearby and trees to sling a hammock between. Now that the Olympics are over, what's a girl to do but find some sun and chill?

Love that House of Hackney has extended their gorgeous interiors prints to a capsule collection of clothing. There's something super delightful about the idea of matching your dress, skirt and cardigan to your lampshade, cushions and wallpaper. And yes, I've been playing around on Bazaart again...

This Week's Celebrity Fad Obsession – Wildfox's Seeing Stars Sweater Posted by Unknown |

Annoyingly I've fallen hook, line and sinker for this Wildfox Seeing Stars sweater being worn by about every female celebrity possible at the moment. Just sooooo LA chic, right?!

I've been putting off doing this post for a while now, mainly because creating collages in Photoshop is a bit time consuming. But I was able to put this together in Bazaart so much more quickly. And so here we have some of my favourites from the AW12 trends. Prints, deep jewel colours, the peplum silhouette, animal motifs, geometric colour blocking, statement sweaters and jewellery. Unfortunately I haven't been able to number the pieces, so have worked anti-clockwise from the top left.

2. Banjo & Matilda heart-intarsia sweater
3. Mary Katrantzou scarf
4. Miu Miu deep purple leather tote

Awesome New iPad App for Pinterest: Bazaart Posted by Unknown |

Source: shop.bazaart.me via Julia Rebaudo on Pinterest

Well, I do like a new app, although this is one currently only available for iPad. Bazaart has created an amazing interface which allows you to select Pinterest pins and collage them all together to publish on Pinterest and then share. And it really works – it is ridiculously easy to select your pins, move them around, resize, cut out and bring forward. Ok, so my first one (entitled Feline + Cosmic + Florals) isn't that amazing – I've never been that good with visual layout tbh. There are so many more fun/inspiring ones being posted all the time here at Bazaart on Pinterest. But does that really matter when it's so much fun? Goodbye photoshop, hello Bazaart.

More Nike x Liberty Trainers Landing Tomorrow Posted by Unknown |

Cripes, yet another Nike x Liberty trainers collection to drop - tomorrow, 10am. Having to quell my unruly urges for a pair of wedge trainers. I made my mind up about wedge trainers months ago - "I just don't get them PLUS they make your feet look wierd. Right?!". Except the other morning I found myself madly googling the internet for an available pair of crazy priced Isabel Marant's. Impossible, except maybe on eBay, but mainly you find yourself swimming in a sea of knock-offs. Anyway. Anyway... Enough of that for now.
