Chignon

January 30, 2021 by igetakickoutofyou

Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I was reminded of the Chignon while sorting through my books and finding this gorgeous image in Jerry Schatzberg’s Paris 1962. Perfect!

July 13, 2016 by igetakickoutofyou

The sun may not be blaring but it doesn’t stop wishful thinking….. Torn between the pool and the firelight at dusk!

Nothing Like Nostalgia

September 8, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

Bless Vogue! With their amalgamation of the Style.com site comes some wonderful trips down memory lane, with collections dating back to 1991 – from the years of the supermodel domination to the simplicity of the early nineties; from the slick Tom Ford glamour of the the 00s to the buff Brazilian bodies just a couple of years later. Just a word of caution – pencil out a whole morning for this little peruse – as once you start you can’t […]

The Italians Get Thrifty

February 25, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

I don’t normally blog about fashion week (let’s face it the world is bursting with them) but today, the first day in Milan, was such a hit of eclecticism, so far removed from the rather austere cocoon shapes, clean lines or fringed 1970’s nostalgia of the past couple of weeks and past seasons, it just needed to be posted. A mix of thrift shop chic from the 90’s – sheer lace, fur coats – 1940s florals and berets, embellished jumpers and […]

Aurore de la morinerie

Brushwork

February 23, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

How satisfying would it be to be able to create something incredible using whatever material you just happened to pick up? Aurore de la Morinerie can and I’m very jealous. Here’s the evidence…..

Carine Bouvard

Heavenly Creatures

January 28, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

How beautiful are these masterpieces from french painter Carine Bouvard? To create such delicate works Carine uses a mixture of acrylics, printmaking, oils and drawing. “Mes Femmes oscillent entre réalisme et onirisme, force et fragilité, maladresse et délicatesse, explains Carine “elles sont sur le fil et tout reste à explorer”. (I won’t bother to translate – I’m sure you get the picture and doesn’t it sound so much better in french?)

Home to Honey Rider

January 13, 2015 by igetakickoutofyou

How gorgeous is this house in East Sussex? I think it’s quite a favourite amongst homes magazines. You can see it’s entire fabulousness on Light Locations. In fact I am pretty sure that the gorgeous pin up girl in picture 3 is what inspired me to go and find my own J.H Lynch art work (My Own Honey Rider), a few years back. Do I want to hire it? More like move into it!
