CHRISTMAS LIGHTS


Is it wrong to like the Christmas lights in the day more than at night? The wires glistening in the sun, so much more peaceful at 8am when nobody is on Oxford St.

HAIR SUPERMARKET



Dalston is a treasure trove of inspiring colours and collections of the bizarre. A severe culture shock to the senses. Nestled in the midst of Ridley Rd Market lies a supermarket of wierd and wonderful hairpieces,cosmetics and accessories lined up as far as the eye can see.

NEW COVENT GARDEN FLOWER MARKET




The hustle and bustle of New Covent Garden flower market is a riot of colour. I instantly did a beeline for these pink fish bowl vases and perspex cubes, and to top it off 80s look spray painted Eucalyptus. Living graffiti.

SUNSET OVER HYDE PARK...LONDON BABY!


I have hit London with a crash...and was delighted for this little reminder of Brighton, deckchairs in Hyde Park.

BLUE SKIES AND ART





Bright blue autumn skies were an incredible backdrop to the sculpture exhibition at the Gloucester cathedral. The massive scale of the installations and sculptures was perfect to compete with the imposing architecture of the cathedral. Amazing little Vintage1940s hat nearly as blue as the sky was my fashion spot of the day in an Antique market.
