Eau So Fresh

These photographs are taken by celebrity photographer Juergen Teller for the lastest Daisy Marc Jacobs perfume 'Eau So Fresh'. I stumbled upon the adverts whilst reading this months Company and they instantly captured my attention. So simple yet,  the blue skies and hazy sunshine feel to the photographs are so warm and inviting. The perfume is said to be a lighter, sunnier version of the original, perfect for the upcoming spring/summer months!

I feel slightly hasty in posting number three of my desert island discs so soon after the second, leaving me now with only 5 songs (5, in the entire collection of songs ever produced). Just. Five.  But here goes...
Ask me to pick one artist to listen to for the rest of my life and it would definately be Bob Dylan. He is, quite frankly, the coolest man alive. 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' is one of my favourite Bob Dylan songs and sits firmly at number three. This song is absolutely incredible in every way. Despite the opinions of some, I happen to think that Dylan's voice is one of the nicest I've ever heard. Moany? Drony? Nasely? Yes. But beautifully heart-warming at the same time. The lyrics, the harmonica, the guitar and the voice altogether are amazing and make me smile from the cockles of my heart. Reminding me of my childhood, my family and my friends, it is a song that makes me feel completely happy, pure and content with life. And that's why, stranded on my island with nothing but my 8 tracks, I have to have this one.

Misty Miller - Remember

This is an acoustic version of Misty Miller's song Remember that she's recorded for Burberry's channel on Youtube 'Burberry Acoustics'. It's such a sweet little song that makes me look forward to summer times. Not long now! Have a little listen for yourselves...

paris.

So, Paris..I've been meaning to write this post for a long time. Well ever since getting back from the place. . You see, this city is probably one of the most wonderful I've ever been to. We were there for a total of 4 days. Travelling up on the Friday morning from Toulouse (a total of 6 hours or so on the train) we arrive in gay Paris at two in the afternoon. Plenty of time to explore. The Sacré Coeur was just around the corner from where we were staying so we headed there first. The climb up to the highest point in Paris reminded me of the ever lasting hills in San Francisco to a certain extent. From the front of the church we could see the whole of the city. Throughout the next few days we completed all the tourist attractions, The Louvre, Les Tuileries, Champs Elysées, L'arc du Triomphe, Les Catacombes and of course the Eiffel Tower. One night we went out for dinner in a sweet little French restaurant with Dominique and her nephew and wife. We did it the Parisien way. Red wine. Escargots (delicious). Veal. Real Chocolate Ice cream. Bread. More wine. Cheese. More and more wine. Every morning we were delighted to wake up to tea and croissants in this classically Parisien appartment. I think me and Eddie were very lucky to be staying with a French lady who has lived there for 50 years and wanted us to see a real side to the place. You see, the real beauty of Paris lies in amongst the small alleys and boutiques in the non touristic parts of the city. Sometimes finding ourselves lost we often found the best places to go. I cannot wait for another trip back to discover and explore the depths and secrets of this city. Everything about it is inviting and intriguing and quite simply, beautiful.

simple syrup.

Simple syrup is a collection of cards I found today 

as I perused the shelves of a quaint little card shop in 

East Dulwich this rainy Sunday afternoon. I really liked the 

little illustrations on the front and thought they were pretty clever.

After much deliberation I have finally found a worthy candidate for number two in my desert island discs collection. The song Blood Bank by Bon Iver would have to sit firmly high on list as it is a beautiful song that fills me with a range of emotions. Justin Vernons voice is softly piercing that makes me feel both sad and happy at the same time. I love a song that makes you feel, whatever that may be. And thats just it, this song makes me feel an indescribable emotion. This song was shown to me by eddie so it also naturally makes me think of him. Stranded on a desert island, I would want all these emotions to arise inside me as I sat on the beach eating mangos or whatever you do on your own desert island..

Mini what?

Forget mini skirts for the sunshine, this spring summer is all about the maxi skirt. I love this outfit I found on lookbook and it makes me want a high waisted maxi skirt to team up with all my crop tops! I'm also loving this feather necklace which would go perfectly with some of the crazy patterns coming out of this seasons Aztec trend!
