sunshine



This is the girl I met at the V&A the same Friday I met the Girl with the Lace Shorts: they're friends. (Isn't it funny: some days - mostly cause of weather - I'm not seeing anyone I want to shoot, and then, there are those moments when it seems the sun is out and everyone looks fabulous).





I noticed at the time how brilliantly her hot pink nails popped - and the pink in her bracelet - but didn't realise til after, those purple 70s sandals! This is one of my favourite combinations: if it's not the pale 'nude' tones of classic sixties vanilla/chocolate/strawberry ice cream cartons, this is more like gelato tones: deep mocha, darkest chocolate, and raspberry sorbet. And her smile! I was shooting a bunch while we were chatting, and I swear - not one bad photo.



It's a really bleak day here in London, which is why I chose to post these today. And wouldn't you know it: in the time it took me to upload these - the sun is peeking out!

Happy Friday, everyone, and have a lovely weekend. xoxo

couples in hay







It's funny, how everything seems connected... I'll be in one place (say, the V&A garden) and text a friend out of the blue, and she was in the same spot, unbeknownst to me, the day before. When I was at the Hay Literary Festival last month, I was amusing myself with a series on couples.. here are some from the series.

From the Yohji Yamamoto catwalk show (Fashion in Motion) at the V&A, as before.. so many shots I want to show you, so little time.. speaking of time, only three more days to see the exhibition, before it ends.
