What about a mini house instead to sit inside your own place? As a child I was fascinated by the dolls houses in the <a href="http://www.museumofchildhood.org.uk/" target="_blank">Museum of Childhood</a> which perhaps explains why I love these.<br />
<br />
I discovered them on this American site <a href="http://www.thefutureperfect.com/" target="_blank">The Future Perfect</a>. Which led me on to their own site <a href="http://www.chiselandmouse.com/architectural-sculptures.html" target="_blank">Chisel & Wood</a>. Each "building" is hand made with strong plaster and can be hung on a wall. I think my favourite are the ones from around the 1920's. Arsenal stadium would be a no-no due to Spurs supporting boyfriend.<br />
<br />
Also loving the <a href="http://www.thefutureperfect.com/objects/curiousity-monkey-on-turquoise-rock.html" target="_blank">Curiosity Monkey by Committee</a> below these - just the right side of kitsch and would look great on my new (imaginary) dressing table.<br />

I have been so busy trying to sort out my new website. So much so I have been getting face ache - yes really! Have you ever suffered from this?! I think I need to sort out my computer set up - get a new chair and some new glasses.<br />
<br />
I have found freelancing causes me to spend more and more time at my computer, and as I'm working from home quite a lot more, I feel I have to get more work done in a shorter period of time and so concentrating a lot harder than I might if I were working for a company in house.<br />
<br />
Here is a quick look at my soon to be finished site. I will be taking my blog over to that as well - so I hope you will all follow me over and show your support. I would appreciate any feedback once it's live as well.<br />

Tailoring with boots, pretty dresses with messy hair, and now - sequins with grunge!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/designers_profile.aspx?DesignerID=30" target="_blank">Ashish</a> AW14 collection combines the two, sequined sportswear style clothing with rips and tears, to reveal more sparkle. Coke and Tesco style "carrier" bags and the grunge staple - the check shirt.<br />

My boyfriend can't stand moths and hate the way they fly around no real purpose, and for another good reason, they keep eating his fancy jumpers! <br />

The prettier french moths inspired these patterns below.<br />

Others are already coming up with extraordinary ways to utilise this technology. <br />
<br />
These shells are the creation of Japanese artist <a href="http://www.aki-inomata.com/">Aki Inomata. </a>
With the use of a high accuracy 3-D printer, she created crystalline skylines famous places. Her first models weren't too popular with the crabs, having thought that crabs would be interested in all kinds of shapes (apparently they like plastic water bottles) she realised that the inside of the shell had to be a certain way, and so used a 3-D scan of hermit approved shells - to recreate.<br />
<br />
You can read more about the ideas behind her project on <a href="http://www.wired.com/design/2013/07/3-d-printed-hermit-crab-shells-based-on-city-skylines/" target="_blank">Wired.com</a><br />
<br />
I fell in love with the humble hermit crab after watching a
brilliant scene on the BBC's Blue Planet series, featuring 2 crabs
fighting each other for a better shell.<br />

An image or rather a few hundred images of me wearing my newly purchased coat from ASOS. I was actually trying on the <a href="http://www.monki.com/Shop/Dresses#dialog-1" target="_blank">Monki leopard print dress</a> that you can see on the bench. Unfortunately it made me look more Bet Lynch than Dita Von Tease!<br />
<br />
I also treated myself to the <a href="http://www.lancome.co.uk/_en/_gb/makeup/eyes/eyeliner/artliner-041039.aspx" target="_blank">Lancome Artliner </a>- I have read some great reviews about it. My once trusty Rimmel liquid liner has been letting me down of late. I am a big fan of fat black flicks!<br />

Every time you look at the illustrations, you see something new - such as the label sticking out of her dress on the first image.<br />
<br />
She is also the current Illustration editor of <a href="http://www.ohcomely.co.uk/" target="_blank">Oh Comely</a> magazine. <br />

Born and bred Bob has an affection for tube life which comes across in these images. In some ways nothing has changed - in others - so much. Fascinating. See more pictures and info on Spitalfields Life blog <a href="http://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/07/19/bob-mazzer-on-the-tube/" target="_blank">here.</a> <br />

I have seen it appear online more and more. I had a go at home but never quite got it to work. I bought some marbling inks, which did the job, but I prefer the more vibrant colours that acrylic paint creates. A lot of sites say to use liquid starch to get the paint to float, which is not available over here. I tried powdered and spray - but this didn't do the job. I now have a cupboard full of starch! There are some more possibilities to try so perhaps I will have another go soon.<br />
<br />
There is a good tutorial <a href="http://www.bloombakecreate.com/2013/02/how-to-marble-fabric-a-new-obsession/" target="_blank">here</a> on how to marble on fabric. <br />

The actual barn itself is pretty young for a conversion - created in the 60's. Which is perhaps partly why it seems so unique. The wall of windows is stunning. Plus the repeat of all the smaller windows running down the side. I love how they have added the 'cob' style elements inside. It seems like a really nice way to create a cosy environment in what otherwise might have been an open, minimal, and perhaps cold feeling space.<br />

I am particularly into the Yves Saint Laurent necklace worn with the all black outfit. However I'm thinking for ordinary folk, there must be a curtain tie or DIY project that would better suit, rather than paying £310.12 + P&P for the privilege. Let me know if you know of any!<br />

The photographer, Jeanloup Sieff was French and shot mostly black and white images of beautiful women, often nude. He did a lot of fashion photography although was quoted as saying that the clothes were "mostly hideous" with his main focus being the models instead. In this instance, Hitchcock was encouraged to run around the studio with the model and in doing so created this rather humorous image.<br />
<br />
I discovered the image through <a href="http://retro-vintage-photography.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">this blog</a> which I have mentioned before on here. <br />

It looked stunning! This is a picture I took of the shop window featuring their <a href="http://www.houseofhackney.com/index.php/studio/?id=6" target="_blank">Palmeral range</a>, complete with a model in the matching dress. There is a great write up of the store on Susie Bubbles blog <a href="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2013/06/nestling-into-house-of-hackney.html" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

We came back from Lisbon a few weeks ago and I
haven't managed to record it down in my blog due to a mountain of work I
came back too <i>(not such a bad thing!)</i></div>
<div>
<br />
Anyhow... we found
it a great break away from London, very chilled for a city and a half hour train ride to beaches. You can could walk to pretty much all the tourist attactions and get lost in the narrow, quiet, steep streets long enough
(we walked for miles!) to earn yourself a beer or two in front of one of the many incredible views the city has to offer.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
There are are plenty of bars, we visited <a href="http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/lisbon/clube-ferroviario" target="_blank">Clube Ferroviario</a> which had a huge roof terrace where you can admire the river
view whilst sitting on comfy old train seats. We also visited the club
<a href="http://www.luxfragil.com/" target="_blank">Lux</a>, which seems to get all the big named DJ's play there.<br />
<br />
Bairro Alto, the area we were staying in comes alive
in the evening. The bars are all tiny, you can probably only fit about
30 in at a time so people hang out in the small lanes, sitting on the
pavements drinking huge sugary Caprioskas.<br />
<br />
There is not much in the way of fashion in Lisbon, we got some funny looks when we both wore bold print shirts one night! It was a refreshing change from London, where what you wear is kind of a big deal. Dreadlocks seemed to be a big look in Lisbon!<br />
<br />
Food wise, you get a lot of simple grilled fish, with dull boiled potatoes, and they love their salt. It's worth doing your research before you go or getting a good guide book, because if you know where to look then great food can be found.<br />
<br />
This is a <a href="http://cool-lisbon.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Cool%20Restaurants" target="_blank">great site</a> if you want to do your research before you go. <br />
