Trends: Aquamarine

As it's going to be staying in the mid 90s this week in Upstate NY, I can't help but be reminded of exotic beaches and beautiful blue seas.

I pretended yesterday - I took baby Blythe up to the lake and started on teaching her to swim. Thankfully she isn't afraid of the water, she adores it in fact, which is great as I'm far more of a water sports person than anything else - in fact I think I'm going to take a long weekend soon and go kayaking, I've not been out in ages and I fancy it.

But there is nothing that says sunshine and summer to me more than aquamarine - try it - you'll feel so cheerful :)

Wardrobe Wednesday: Easter Style

We were talking the other day about how, way back when, everyone used to dress up for Easter Sunday, gloves, hats, dresses - the lot.

Nowadays, everything's gone so casual - and personally I think it's a shame.

Sunday Style

It's more than likly I won't be going anywhere today, as my DH woke up with a fever and general nastiness.

So instead I thought I'd share some photos from a recent shoot I did with the wonderful Rome Celli:

I honestly haven't had so much fun it a long time - our model, Alex, is quite possibly the most beautiful thing ever, and such a pro.

 

  

I took my turn too, Maria, the MUA, put my hair up into a giant 60s jobbie.

 

I'm going to have my work cut out for me getting everything listed now, I did get some done last night, but in between playing nursemaid today, I'll try get the rest up :)

Happy Sunday!

Sunday Style

So Sunday is the day I generally dress up a little for church, so I thought I'd start posting some photos.
