1 litre

is it wrong to, when very very sleepy on a monday morning, drive to the nearest supermarket and buy a litre of pepsi max and finish it within the hour?

carbooty

found this lamp base at a carboot sale last weekend for a shockingly cheap £2!!! just need to find a nice shade for it now. shame it wasnt a pair. totally reminded me of the shop window display of the brisbane store 'black and spiro'

jack cardiff

such an influencial cinematographer who worked with all the best directors (hitchcock, huston), hes won oscars and honorary oscars. hes worked on some amazing movies including the 'red shoes' (an all time fave).

amazing documentary on at the bfi at the moment, which i went to see with my ma. we knew the producer and director, who have been making this docu-film for the past decade, well worth the wait, and was officially selected for cannes last month.

not only that, but he takes a mean photo, well it would be rude not when youre a genius at lighting and youve got the most glamorous of hollywood hanging out on set, sophia loren, marilyn, audrey...

french marie claire

respect to the marie claire ladies over in paris for doing this swimsuit/undies shoot with normal gorgeous women! how sexy is that bum!

The Loden, Vancouver

Situated downtown in the coal harbour district, the Loden in Vancouver is everything you would ever want from a hotel nestled between the Pacific and Coast Mountains: modern design inspired by the surrounding outdoors, an incredible location, impeccable service and a boutique feel that makes it a bit of a secret find....

blond bombshell


was in dublin over the weekend to shoot a wedding. now i have the big task of editing all the pics, but one of the first ones i did was this one of joanne getting ready. i was shooting through the glass doors in her hotel suite, which is how the weird reflection thing has happened. i love the way that her blond hair in curlers reminds me of all the glamourous 60's actresses from marilyn monroe to bridget bardot!

platinum?

im a gold type of girl, but spotted this on lo bosworth's twitter, and sort of loved it. i like it because its on the middle finger, and because its so delicate and thin. the only ring ive liked that isnt gold!

numph

discovered this danish brand whilst shopping in dublin...and im now a big fan, bought two things (which were also on sale, so fab new outft all for 30 euro) love the colours and the graphics!



if the clothes arent cool enough - then check out the cool art work they have in their showroom, love it!
