Everything old,

Everyday the world evolves, into a place of new generations which in turn means new fashions, new technology, new lifestyles. And although i am pleased that these things come and go, sometimes i just wish i could travel back to the olden days. Preferably the late 1800's or the early 1900's. As i watched a movie last night and i read my book today, i discover and indulge into a world of trams or horse carriges, using manners and speaking appropriatley. And so i've made a list of everything old, that i want to embrace.


1. Old Books. The kind of ones that have language in it that i can't understand, but i try to read it anyway, and the ones that i can pick up and simply smell the mustiness and make me think about how far back the book actually dates.



2. Old Records and mixtapes. I don't know whether it's simply the old music that is on them, or the way they sound when they are played, but they make me smile.



3. Old fashion. The fashion, no one could forget the fashion. The 'dashing' dresses they wore to the balls and tight bodices, that kept them from breathing. Outstanding.



4. Old Mansions. With the marble poles and the curling steps leading up to second stories. With the parlours and the double kitchens.....



5. The elite. The ones that where called by their last names with a mrs or mr in front of it. They went to balls and did the waltz, and talked about who they were going to marry, and who was such a gentlemen and who wasn't. They had the personal servants and maids and new the right and wrong way to act....

So partway through this list i realised i can get any word and put old in front of it, that i love, but then the list would go on forever. But their is still the old plays, movies, carriges, photgraphs......

although i think you get my point.

Ginger Lilly Tea,

Just thought I should share another photographer that I discovered and really like. Keri-Anne's (of Ginger Lilly Tea) images all have this dreamy kind of hazy feel about them. It's like there is a whole other would about them and i want to jump in and be a part of it.









You can buy prints of some photo's off her etsy shop here, or browse her flikr page here.
It is currently thundering a bit here at home. Hopefully we get a thunderstorm, i love the sound of thunder, the flash of lightning and the sound of raindrops pounding agianst the roof and soaking into the ground. But just like all the time lately, it probably won't happen.
I hope everyone has a nice night. XX b

Christmas is sweet,

Today I put up my christmas tree. All by myself :)
It's the first of the month, not to mention the first day of summer.
Christmas is only 25 days away!!
I really can't wait till this years christmas festives. It's got to be one of my most favourite times of the year. I love the way christmas is celebrated with the fairy lights, bon bons, and of course candy canes....



So the countdown till christmas day begins.

a whole week,

Just thought I should let you know that you won't be seeing any posts from me for a whole week, as my dad is borrowing my computer for something :(
I'll make it up to you when I get it back i swear!
But i'll leave you with another one of my favourites by Nirrimi.

more than lovely,




Through my eyes I can see a shooting star

Weaving its way across the sea, somewhere from mars

Down the street we would run to scratch our names in the path


Young and free in the sun, wheels upon the tar.


Totally in love with Nirrimi's photography. It is so amazing, i cannot even express.
I have my dance concert tonight, wish me luck!
