city living

i have lived in the coutryside all my life, whilst it's lovely sometimes living on a converted farm i have always wanted to live in the city and it something i plan to do. last night when i got in from work at about 11.30pm i heard sheep baaing, i am awoken by birds. how many people can say they hear that. during the summer the house looks so lovely as my father is a keen gardener and during snow season the house is all white par the black beams and bare brown branches, but still. i want view like the ones above, i want to get chinese food and tabacco when ever i want. i want a tube or an underground right near me that leaves every 5 minutes instead of relying on buses and trains that leave hourly. the city feels so much more grown up and chic. am i mad or do you agree?

hope you had a good weekend.

Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops

from the 'W' website thanks to fashiongonerogue

I love Tim walker. I know I've already done a post on his amazingness but he continues to inspire. His pictures just create a world of madness, where a model may be sitting in couture whilst driving a space ship. Or Lily Cole sitting at the top of stairs with her dress reaching the floor. And now he has Karlie Koss staring dangerously at humpdee dumpdee. Could you really imagine a world like that? I often try to when I should be listening to my history teacher explain that my essay isn't right, again. Or when I've been lying in bed for hours and I'm still not asleep. It beats reality and it's very strange...

i used to really want to be a model for this reason! just so i could wear pretty dresses and go to parties, but i could NOT starve myself or be subjective to the direction of evil people in the fashion world. we've all heard a few horror stories.

university..

as some of you must of guessed i'm meant to be going to uni soon but i'm planning on putting it off for a year and in that time get some experience either at a magazine, my shop or with a model agent. however one of the things i'm really worried about it moving, from my parents garage which has a bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom all of which is self contained, into a little room which may or may not have it's own bathroom (!) and having to share space with lots of messy teenagers. i know, i know, i'm a clean freak and a little scared of strangers, i watch a lot of CSI.

any way back to my point, over at freshhome they did a feature on small spaces where i found this picture..

so i could create a nice space. *fingers crossed*

and look what else i found! such a good idea! i have lots of maps of places i've been and i'm going to stick them on some boxes :)
