Snow Dayz

Winter hats became a must in our house Well what a weekend we all have had here in the UK, with every house dusted in white and children loving their days off from school. For some reason I find people have very little sense of humour when it comes to snow, yes I know it can make the roads icy (I have experienced this myself) and it can be hard to get too work, it throws the train and bus timetables into turmoil and people panic buy so the shops are bare of eggs, bread and milk but on the other hand it makes everywhere look like a winter wonderland and it only happens for a few days of the year, so have a little winter spirit. Just be prepared and sensible about it, wrap up nice and warm and adventure out with the sense of magic in your heart.

Chloe Winter-Fall Preview, Photos and Share the love

Here are some sneak preview pictures of the upcoming Chloe Fall-Winter 2010 collection and advertising campaign. I am loving the retro 1970's feel. Looks like the high-waisted trousers are making another appearance in the coming season, as well as soft touches of denim and leather....hmmm excited to see the rest. So I have just got some film back from the labs, there is always something exciting about getting negatives back and seeing if there is anything good, I find that the whole process is lost with digital. These are shot on one of my favourite "toy" plastic camera's - a Vivitar slim and wide. It cost me a whole £5 to buy but I love the slightly warped effect it gives images. So here is my "Part 1 summer fun in Cardiff ". Keeping on the local beat, my day was brightened up by going to have tea and coffee at a rather overlooked quirky gift shop/tea room WonderStuff, in Treorchy, which never fails to please. A combination of cosy surround......
