Bazaar Magazine

Special Feature on Super model Giselle Bundchen
icon status: Claudia Schiffer called her, "the last of the supermodels," and when she appeared at Galliano's 60th anniversary Dior Couture show in 2008 alongside the likes of Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista it was easy to see why.

In the curve: Appearing with Valentino on the S/S 02 catwalk for the designer's Paris show, Gisele heralded 'the return of the sexy model'.

When it comes to thick glossy fashion magazines crammed full of luscious clothes and jewellery - I'm just a girl who can't say no. Mind you, I am more choosy nowadays - you can't always judge a magazine by it's cover.
I am currently enjoying the September issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine - it's lush. Every page sparks a zillion styling and design ideas of my own. As I am embarking on my handbag designs again, Harpers magazine has been an inspiration.
Oh yes, I will be posting pics of my own handbag range soon!

Elyse Levesque - Toro Woman photoshoot in a mansion

Darryl Humphrey is an old mate who I had my first saturday job with. We worked together when we were 16 in the staff kitchen of a department store. Despite the Victorian like drudgery of the job, we always managed to have fun times.
Darryl is one of those amazingly multi talented guys who is just brilliant at everything he does - without being annoying.
Darryl left his successful business career behind and has now moved on to become an even more successful photographer. Now rubbing the shoulders with A list stars, Darryl has done himself proud ...and me too!
Despite his hectic schedule and high profile status, he still finds time to emcourage me in my endeavours. This blog is one product of his on going encouragement (and much needed chastisement at times), it would not exisit without him! I am so glad he did because of all of you blog lovlies I have had the pleasure of getting to know.

Included is a video of Elyse Levesque,directed,shot and edited by Darryl

A Sunny Day

John Logie Baird - inventor of the television

L is for ...Lisa

A sun washed building in the heights

Lovers on the beach...


Church bells are a ringing...

Romantic old buildings...

Little houses ,ever so sweet...

Leafy pathways tucked away...

Cups and saucers, mirrors and paintings...

Old coins,pearls on a string, dusty books and delicate lace handkerchiefs...

Beautiful things in a beautiful shop...

A bicycle to ride into the sunset with.A lady just looking...

Interior Illusions...

A little shop of delights

Hello Mr Statue up there...

Trinkets in a box for £1 each...

The Old Bank House


The ebb and flow of the tide, time to go home...

I spent last weekend in the beautiful coastal town of Hastings. The famous battle of Hastings, taking place in 1066, saw Englands first Norman king on the throne otherwise known as Willian The Conqueror. In addition to this, it was here that John Logie Baird invented the television. Nice one Mr Baird.
The weather was ldyllic last week, the sun was ever so sunny. Apart from foolishly wearing platforms (they make my legs look longer in my new pair of jeans) eveything was lovely. There is definitley a French influence in Hastings, having being conquered by a French King. I found myself transported to some of my favourite areas of Paris, as I meandered(wobbled) around this beautiful town.There i an amazing selection of interesting antique shops, interior stores and yummy restaurants. I enjoyed a delicious plate of fish and chips! I took pictures with my Blackberry, and I can be a bit cock eyed, but I hope you enjoy...
