Catwoman

My portrait of Julie Newmar's beautifully classic Catwoman 

(Sheldon Cooper's favorite Catwoman if I remember correctly)

Silver Wedding Invitations

I was asked to design invitations for my Mum and Dad's 25th Wedding Anniversary. They specifically told me that the wanted nothing cheesy e.g: portraits of them etched into a birch tree in a love heart.
So this is what I came up with...

I chose Items that were relevant to them, such as occupation, hobbies and likes and created a fun pattern for the front of which will be an invitation postcard.

My Creative Space

I enjoy surrounding myself with lovely things!

This is above my bed. My lovely sister bought be this canvas, which I adore, there are a few elephant realated items in my room,a s I have quite the collection but this has to be one of my favorites.

As you can see by the glimpse of my cushions, I love a bright colour or two, I previously blogged about Penny's apartment from the Big Bang Theory and the great collection of items she has.

I have both of these prints from Catherine Campbell framed on my bedroom wall. They are very whimsical and fun, with that essential splash of colour.

A fox

When foxes are mentioned metaphorically there are often given negative attributes, I wonder why this is as they have such beautifully coloured fur. 

My Vintage Hat

A bit of a late post, as I wore this to a friends wedding a few months ago, but I need to share this amazing find!

It is slightly out there, but teamed with a black dress and minimal extra flourishes I wore it right until the end of the night. 

I was determined to wear a hat to my good friends wedding and modern hats and fascinators on the high street were not very me or seemed far too expensive. After coming across the seller Poppycock! Vintage on Etsy, I fell in love with the range available. The price was right, there was a great range or vintage hats suitable for a wedding but the seller was based in the US. It was a risk at the time as to whether it would arrive in time for the big event, and if I would love it as much on myself as I did on the website but thankfully it all worked out well!

"Oh yes, I had it imported for the occasion"

New Girl's Jess Day- Zooey Deschanel

Call it a style crush, call it a girl crush, call it whatever you want but I love New Girl's Jess Day.

The television show New Girl is a great comedy program with hilarious charters with flaws just like you and I. You can liken the show to the likes of Friends and how I met your Mother in the sense that you enjoy the characters as if they were your best friends but New Girl to me is much more honest. The quirks of each individual character are great to watch unfold.

The relationship between Nick, who's character is a very endearing, and facial expressions reveal some interesting shapes and Jess is a great thong to watch, they are definitely going to "get it on" but I am hoping that they won't just yet as I am very much enjoying watching them dance around the matter.

The fashion that Jess brings to the show reflects her fun loving personality. I have always loved Zooey Deschanel's vintage, 50s/60s image and have recently plucked up the courage to get a full fringe which the actress is famous for. It  took a lot of getting used to but I am hoping to keep it for a while (and don't get to lazy about getting it trimmed).
