grannies meets supemodels meets sheep


What do they hace in common?, their all part of the North Circular, a new knitwear company that produces cozy wool sweaters and accessories for ethically-conscious customers. Supermodels which include Lilly cole and katherine poulton invite central st martins graduate alice Ashby to come up with designs for a line of knitwear for north circular. But how did it involve grannies you may ask?.
They recruited a few friendy grannies for knitting duty!!. All i cn say is, its nice for the elderly to be involved in such a fast pace world of fashion and knitwear.
Bring back the grannies!!!

Meghan paterson has created all new possibilities for artistic portraits. Painting faces onto glass bottles adds that extra dimension to artistry that is rarely been tempted.

lady neckxxx







so i thought hey why not post one of my favourite scarf...






the pink scarf i recently brought from ghost(very romantic collection!!), and it has dainty buttons which creates the function of a neck tie but with a long chiffon tail that i can either wrap around my neck and draped down my back or i can wear it tied around my hair with some rayban aviators!!

spotted!!!!!




so i was walking on my way to the bus stop from uni, and i peered over the barriers and saw out of the blue a reminiscent of the final race in the film grease. It seems Nottingham is filled with secret caves and built up scenery's.






so have to go and do some photoshoots there!!!.

creatively is priceless
