hello & happy 2011 to you!!

so happy to be back after serious computer meltdown issues as well as some much needed r&r!

as well as gearing up for the year ahead, way too much of january has been spent devouring fantastic art books bought off amazon.com while the yankie dollar is pretty much en par with ours…

…like this beautiful summery moment-in-time photographic book by Hugh Holland – ‘Locals Only’ -  hazy, glorious sun-filled shots taken from 1975 – 1978 as the skating scene unfolds in California.

found via something is something else

from my 40th last w’end – first of too many drinks, much much dancing and an awesome purple sequinned dress bought on the cheap from the world’s best online vintage shop.

Have a lovely w’end xx

can’t remember exactly where this image was saved from- maybe it was a NYC christmas window display, tiffany & co??
