Week 50 of 52 - Coco Chanel

I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not - Coco Chanel 


 Coco Chanel is one of my favorite icons - She literally changed the world, if it wasn't for her us ladies would still be wearing corsets and puffy pink dresses. She created the lovely 'Little Black Dress' and that wonderful, nautical sailor top which we still use today...she came up with so much more, but those particular items I can relate to the most because I use them so much !
The 2008 Coco Chanel movie was pretty amazing, its in French but I still loved it - She lived a hard, tragic life but such beautiful things came from it...
TWO MORE POSTS TO GO!!!

Week 49 of 52 - Early Christmas Special

There is no snow lightly falling
Nor the sounds of trumpets calling
But the sun shines its light of gold
As African drums beat rhythms of soul
For South Africa’s Christmas time
With food and joy and song sublime
Is one of warmth and not of cold
Full of magic, a mystery untold
The lion bows, the cheetah plays
They all know this glorious day
-unknown


Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where mountain mist
meets the seaside kissed
And a penguin waddles by.

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where the bush pig roams
far away from home
And a sunbird sings on high.

Week 48 of 52 - Reflections

“Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.”
― Jane Austen



Reflections... such powerful and magical things. I love the colors in these pictures, they inspried me today :)

Hope this brightened up your day! x

Bits and Bobs - Week 47 of 52

This here ^ is a short film I made. It's kind of 'in place of ' a Self Portrait, its still one though, just moving.

As you can see the title is 'Bits and Bobs' so I put two photos up just for fun, taken at different moments. Hope you like this spontaneous-ness of this blog post ! x

'High Walls'

'Close'
Just found out about Lorde. She is absolutely amazing, I'm inlove with her music, as you can see I used one of her songs in my moving picture movie. Thought I'd just share the whole song with you -



Hope you liked this bunch of weirdness, will be making a better effort next week!
Still trying to upload every single blog picture again (due to them ALL being deleted off my blog) so they will be up soon!

:)

Week 46 of 52 - Warmth


A flutter of warmth twinkled in her eye, as she watched the romantic inks entwine into a depth seeking sunset. - r j king

Yes, I didn't post last week due to the holidays... 
I stupidly went and deleted all my blog photos by a mistake. I am slowly uploading them all again one by one, so don't get a fright if you don't see some pictures :)
Thanks Abi VDH for the make-up, and joy-joy for the great help X
Have a lovely weekend!
