The date today is 20/10/2010! Oh my giddly gosh!
I haven't blogged in over a week! I've been so caught up in homework and going places etc that I haven't had time to do one of my favourite things- blog and read blogs! Soooo here's for a post that was supposed to happen a couple weeks ago;
I spent a Sunday in London going to both the Royal Academy and the British museum. Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures in the Royal Academy, not that photos could do justice to the beautiful paintings from the Treasures from Budapest exhibit I went to see. Most of the paintings were so stunning- the light and tones so perfect that a 2D painting would look 3D. A lot of still life and paintings of people, cupids etc were featured, so if you're into that kind of art and you're living around London, I strongly recommend you check it out!
So now some pictures from the British Museum, I was pretty fascinated by these tiny snuff bottles:
The blue petals are made from kingfisher feathers- so amazing!
Sorry about the crappy glass reflections in some of these photos!
I wish I had a better picture of the above bottle :(
Some other things that interested me:
I don't actually remember what this was- must've been some kind of ancient trunk or something, but it was all covered in tiny semi-precious stones. So beautiful.
(aghh ugly glass reflections!)
On the way out, my mom noticed these crazy wild mushrooms- I have never seen this many in the same place in the middle of London!
Now for a general update:
Last weekend I got to spend some time in London with Emma & Dom- my cousin and her boyfriend. It was so great to see them because they live in Australia, so the rare time I do spend with them is always special :). I got to take Monday off school to spend a final day with them, and we went to Liberty (also in London) to look at all the pretty clothes! My cousin is by far the chic-est person I know, and loves fashion as much as (if not more than) me, so having a conversation with her about all the things we love about models, photographers, clothes and just fashion in general was really wonderful <3 Dom is totally cool to hang with too, he has the best sense of humour :D. Perfect weekend!

Wide-eyed
I sometimes wish I still lived in a world of nothing but ponies, princesses, cartoons, dolls and COLOURS.

TIM WALKER!!!!!!!
I wasn't going to post today because I wanted to spend my time finding editorial images online to go on my bedroom wall. I would have used my favourite editorials from my magazines, but I'm very protective over them, and dont like to cut them up. Sooooooo I came across this amazing blog; Oh Fashion Models and looked through the Karlie Kloss archive, and found this mind-blowing editorial from October '10 W magazine;
and so I was FREAKING OUT at how amazing it is, the combination of Karlie, and the clothes, and the set and how the whole thing is just so yellow, like 'lemon drops'. This is the time when fashion is so good that it gives me chills.
So... I saw that the photographer is Tim Walker, who I'd never heard of, so I was crazily googling him to find other material from him....
And I was on his website when I found out that he is also the man responsible for MY FAVOURITE EDITORAIL EVER;
Sasha Pivovarova, in Vogue UK March '10
SO NOW THIS MAN IS MY FAVOURITEST FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER EVER.
Even his work that doesn't have elaborate sets like these is completely stunning. His same kind of aesthetic shines through in every photograph, if you get what I'm saying? He was assistant to Avedon at one point. How amazing is this man?!
I'm sure that the Karlie editorial will influence my dreams as much as the Sasha one has.
