I can't stop listening to:

Christmas...

... On Columbia Road...

In my opinion, one of the best places in London to find not only the perfect Christmas atmosphere, but gifts to-boot.

Plus...  

...not too many of those annoying Christmas songs which seem to be played on repeat every year!

At Ease: A Glimpse at the Military Styles of Fall/Winter 2010/11

My final 6 illustrations...




Excuses Excuses!

Wow I haven't posted in a while!... well more than a while...

I could say that I had too much work...

... Or that I've been insanely busy...

... Or that I got side-tracked by my advent calendar (chocolate... mmmmmm)...

... Or some other silly excuse...

... but don't worry...

...there won't be any of that!

And now for some music...

Oh Summer! (Edwardian Style)

Picnic on the grass
The Derby - 1913


What they used to wear at Royal Ascot...
I particularly like the buttons along her sleeves


Henley Regatta - 1911



1908
I want his trousers...
...I also wish it was warm enough to sit outside...
... Oh well I can't have everything I suppose



Much sexier than skimpy bikinis...
... particularly like the shower cap
