Moon Glasses.

Yesterday I spent the day with my Grandma at her house in Cumbria. She has lived there since my dad was born...so a long time. Every time I go I make it my mission to find something really cool and old. I went to rummage through her attic and found some great little gems! 


Above are my grandmas "moon glasses" as she called them. She told me she used to have so many pairs of crazy sunglasses, but that people would sneak them into their bags after picnics because she said she was "quite the sunglasses queen".


I found a whole pile of old vogue's amongst some old country life's. All are from various years in the 1970's. They are so fun to look at, the fashion is sometimes quite funny! Below are some pages from a few of them...















Hope you like.

A Teddy Bear's Picnic.

My friend Io has been living with us the past few days whilst her parents were on holiday. We got up to some crazy stuff. Yesterday was her last day with us and so we decided to make an awesome picnic and go and eat it! Turned out the magnificent feast we were planning didn't really work out due to a sever lack of food in the fridge, so it ended up being couscous and salad with some flapjacks and rather old meringues...but hey it looked nice :) So we put on our fur and gathered the family and wandered out into the rain for our happy picnic under "Twotrees" which is my favourite tree in the world. Anyway enough talk here are some photos...

Nostalgic.

Lately I have been feeling surprisingly wintery. After about the third week of summer I was kind of over it! Its kind of sad really, I think the majority of us spend most of our time wishing for something we don't have...and with me I tend to wish for the opposite season to the one I am in. So anyway whilst trawling through all my old photos I came across these proper wintery photos I took last winter...so enjoy...if you feel like me this should cheer you up! 


This is our hut on a hill by our house called the fondu hut...because we have fondu in it a lot.








This final photo is one of my favourite places...me and my mum call it 'Our little bit of Canada.'

Hopefully you weren't looking for something to make you feel summery, if so, I am very sorry for bringing down your mood haha.

Hope you like.

Punk.

So for the past few days I have been staying with various friends because my parents went on holiday (without me...I know so unnecessary) anyway so I am at my friend Eliza's house at the mo. We went wild this morning and decided to dress up as crazy punks! It was so fun and I love the look so much...I feel I may just have to become a punk for a bit! Anyway here are some photos (taken by Eliza's awesome sister Minna)...enjoy:
