Happy New Year

2011.

A year where I realized; how important my friends and family are, how white wine should never be consumed in social situations, and that however much I run, my thighs will never be like Beyonce’s. Highlights of the year include meeting a whole new amazing set of friends who make me laugh and support me everyday, Glastonbury (why didn’t I continue to go every year from 2003) where I had such a magical 5 days. Finding out one of my closest friends is pregnant was also a high point but then the harsh realization that I’m now an adult followed soon after. Bonding in Madrid, Uma, wedding plans and leaving Manchester… all memorable moments.

As good as 2011 has been, I think 2012 is going to be so much better. Weddings, Lady Gaga,Italy, photography, bigger glasses, pretty patterns and trips to Paris. I really feel that I’m closing the book on one chapter and starting something new. I just hope it turns out to be as exciting as I feel it could be (white wine not included).

Happy New Year.

This is Wendy and she makes a regular appearance in one of my favourite blogs, For me, For you which is written by Kate, a graphic designer / jewelry designer who has recently relocated to LA. I definitely think you should take a look at Kate’s website and flickr account because sometimes its nice to just escape into pictures of other peoples lives.

Vanessa Jackman is an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London, she takes the most amazing natural photographs that I have seen since Queen Garance! Plus most of them are taken in Australia and I am loving the Australian streetstyle at the moment. Vanessa has been published in British Vogue, W Magazine, French Glamour and Harpers Bazaar.

Oooh la la

I have been obsessed with Paris and French people for years, I think I went through a huge stage actually wanting to be French, I actually havent got over this yet. On friday night I watched the amazing film, An Education and Carey Mulligans character set me off again. Quick note before I start harping on about Paris, An Education is the most inspiring film I have seen in ages. It literally had everything that I love in the world all wrapped up in one film, including custard creams. I adored Carey Mulligan in it and basically I cant wait to watch is again, and again, and again (you get the idea), especially the part in Paris, the cinematography is beautiful.

Ok Paris, France, and me being so obsessed! I love the French style, the language, the food, the art, the buildings, I just cant wait to get back. So yesterday when I was on my french trawl of the internet, whilst waiting to watch Amelie for the 15th time, I found Little Brown Pen. Little Brown Pen is run by Nichole Robertson a copywriter who lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey and she too is a raving Francophile like me, except she gets to spend three months a year in Paris. Her website is stunning and gives a really feel of Paris especially the colours.

Here is her descrpition of what she loves about Paris.

“I like the way the light hits the centuries-old buildings, the unique juxtaposition of ancient and modern, the appreciation for beauty, the attention to detail, and of course the food.”

A woman after my own heart. You can buy Nichole’s photographs on her Etsy shop here.
