The Transient Beauty of Youth...

I couldn't resist posting these barely there images byArgentinian photographer Noelia Carballo. They reminded me of an elderly lady I coyly observed in the boulangerie queue this morning. Her eyes twinkled with the vitality and light of youth gone by, her freshly powdered face tracked with wrinkles told me she had lived a lifetime of smiles. A young spirit in an ancient shell...

Spring's Sweetheart

These fashion photography images of Australian beauty Abbey Lee Kershaw make me wanna leap from this dreary winter into the fresh floral filled days of Spring. Not long now...although a little birdie tells me Ireland and England are yet again blanketed in snow.

Tuesday's Child is Full of Grace

Poised and elegant, prim and proper, these belles of the ball do make me feel rather plain this morning! It's time to doll up (or put my face on as The Boyfriend says) and unleash the girly girl. I'll swathe myself in meters of whispering lace and swan about in bustling tulle skirts. On slip the ballerina pumps for the walk through blossom avenue to the daily market. I'll pass boutique after achingly beautiful boutique, and wander in and out as my heart desires. No fabulous girl is complete without a set (matching no less) of french lingerie, that's what I will tell myself as my credit card goes past the warm-up stage to full blown sprint catch me if you can stage. Oh well it's almost Valentines weekend so it can be The Boyfriends gift :) Speaking of Valentines, have you got anything nice planned? Pop by tomorrow to see what Wednesday's child gets up to....

Monday's Child is Fair of Face...

Porcelin skin, peaches and cream complexions, these pictures make me want to stay off the beach and stock up on skin-lightening creams! If Monday's child is fair of face then Tuesday's child is full of grace... I'm tempted to cheat and post tomorrow's pictures today, they are that special, but wait I must! See you tomorrow when we meet Tuesday's graceful girl, and smile, Monday is almost over :)

Daydreaming the Day Away with Fashion Photography by Petra Vanraaji

I love coming across new fashion photographers (well, new to me anyway!) Petra Vanraaij has a jam-packed fotofolio full of fresh and ambient photography, these picks are just a few of my new favourite images. Do you have any wonderful fashion photographers you would like to share with me?

 

  

 

Sumptuously Silky Spring Summer Fashion by Cris Barros

Time to invest in a crimper!  I am ever so slightly enamoured by these images for the Cris Barros Spring Summer 2010 collection. Champagne silks, frou frou mini skirts, layer after bias layer of sleek silk, victorian inspired florals...what's not to like. Is it Spring yet?

C'est le Weekend! Now Here's Your Surprise...

I'm not sure where that week slinked off to, but either way I'm happy it's play-time again! You've been such lovely readers all week so here are some treats for your tired working eyes. Take a leaf out of the girl's books...visit that museum, paint that picture, cozy up in the snug with a favourite book, "Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."Mark Twain
