Some cheese please.

Lots of food celebration at the moment, what with National Cupcake Week a few weeks ago, we are half way through British Cheese week!

I do love me some cheese.

I like to think it loves me too.

You a fan? Fave kind?

There's always time for tea.

“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
if you are depressed, it will cheer you;
if you are excited, it will calm you.”

Don't wake me up from Wonderland

I have discovered a world that I cannot quite believe I have never seen before....

...The photographs of Kirsty Mitchell.

Her imagery has entranced me and I felt compelled to buy a copy of the print above from her series entitled 'Wonderland', because I want to look at it every.single.day.

She has a very touching story behind her photographic journey, and the work that goes into creating her magical, enchanting moments for the lens is phenomenal.

Check her out - you won't regret it.

My new guilty blog pleasure

Every now and again you stumble across a blog you just gotta sneak a regular peek at...

I've fallen for the super sleek street fashion style photography blog by Wayne Tippetts called Street Style Aesthetic.

These were two of my absolute faves.

Great photos, great style - Wayne - I salute thee!

An artists dedication

These are utterly breathtaking.

The artist Dalton Ghetti carefully (and patiently) carves into the graphite of a normal sized pencil tip....

wow.

Miniature masterpieces or what!?

You can see and read more in Odd Stuff Magazine

I'm off to carve a pencil in time for Christmas.....

Some supa-stylin'

A lovely London fashion stylist - Latoyah Prempeh - featured some of the vintage from my boutique last month in a fashion photoshoot, photographed by Monica Lawrence.

Don't you love what they came up with?

I love the vibe they achieved in these pics - a mix of 1940's Billie Holiday meets Corinne Bailey Rae music video....

Lovely stuff.

Not that I need an excuse to love cupcakes, but......

It's National Cupcake week here in the UK.

Oh, yes.

Lucky me won some exclusive Oreo cookie cupcakes on twitter from the lovely Butterfly Bakery and had them delivered to my darling sister, so lucky her in the end!

Speaking of sisters and cakes - check out the amazing blueberry sour cream cake she posted on her blog today - trust me, it's insanely delicious.

Hope you're enjoying a sweet treat wherever you are!

Much cupcake love xx
