FKA Twigs red carpet moments


I really love her music, and the way FKA Twigs can get a red-carpet look together that is entirely her own


Complete with painted facial embellishments, very Vali Myers!

Sienna Miller parodying Hollywood neurosis

Watch above :)
Too funny! 


Here's the Vogue cover, link to article and video above, I promise it's a good one, parodying the yummy mummy stereotype, very funny watching her explain her 'lifestyle'. In a world of over-sharing and celebrities endorsing everything when they are neither qualified nutritionists or whatever schlep they're promoting- good to see some light made of it

Miu Miu Spring 2014 boots


Even in this obnoxious shade of orange, I cannot get these boots out of my mind! They are kickass! Brown is my favourite colour, but the orange has somehow worked its obnoxious charm on me whilst typing this sentence...



Bella Heathcote above and Elizabeth Olsen below in the ad campaigns where first I spied these beauties


To remain on the dream wishlist forevermore!

Soviet Space Dogs


I think about Laika a lot, not just because I have my own two poochies, but because of the convenient march of the passage of time and its uncanny ability to make us keep certain historical anecdotes as stored information, rather than respects be paid to the heartbreaking moments in time they are.

The Space Race meant so much to- the whole world! I am very glad that Laika and her story will never be forgotten. (All the Soviet test dogs were girls, as the devices used to collect their waste was better suited for females)


Laika has been immortalised in the collective subconscious, comics, memorials, songs, books, good! Rest in Peace little one



The two above are Belka and Strelka, how gorgeous are they! They returned alive from their mission.

Here is a link to a wonderful book all about Soviet Space Dogs I spied the other day in my wanders, brilliant subject matter, great history and pictures.

We need to treasure and preserve their memory! History is a wonderful pursuit, something I hope to never tire of.
