A woodland

An early morning walk in Surrey United Kingdom resulted in this series of images of the woods at sunrise.

Interflora junkies...a little something for you :-)

Now I have to say that this is another random impromptu posting which has been inspired by a bunch of flowers delivered to my door today! I am a girly girl so love flowers and hand written poetry and being serenaded and long walks on the beach holding hands....you get the picture, I am basically a hopeless romantic! As such I really beleive that flowers; that is nice simplistic not over the top flowers as a beautiful gesture for any woman (though it must be said not all women would appreciate them as much as I do). So I am sharing my flowers with all the girly girls out there, especially the single ones who don't have someone to surprise them with flowers and random internals, "just because its Tuesday!". Whilst pink lilies are my favourite, there is something festive, exciting and passionate about red flowers so these were the perfect compliment to my day :-)

For you ladies, here are my perfect bunch of flowers, enjoy.... and 'happy Wednesday!' :-)

What is fashion?

I must admit that I am only posting on this topic because I saw my mate wearing the T-shirt and I had to take a picture of it! So there is no agenda and possibly little depth to what I have to say on the subject of fashion, not. Now this is not because I don't have impeccable taste and style (big grin here!) but because I don't like what the fashion industry stands for to be perfectly honest. The stick thin models, the super expensive designer lines made for pennies in poor third world countries, possibly by children and so on...So no, I am not championing a debate on the subject... I do however want to hear what you think fashion is????

This is me loving my style...yes its starts with passion and a sense of fun!

I'll go first! I say fashion is a personal self-expression of one's character, where you are in your life at that time and your sense of creativity, passion and sense of fun! All words that don't describe clothes at all really but then does fashion start on the rack or in the heart????

The best definition of fashion I have ever come across is; Fashion is a state of mind...a spirit, an extension of one's self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile. Most of all fashion is about being comfortable with yourself, translating self-esteem into a personal style' Cynthia Durcanin( Editor of Elle Magazine.) I completely agree with Cynthia and am genuinely surprised that she is of this opinion yet works in the world of fashion. In light of this fact, my caveat is thus; in addition to the above I believe that fashion has to be self influenced FIRST before the latest 'whatever is going' gets to throw its 'two penny's worth' on what you 'should and shouldn't' when it comes to your personal style and fashion sense .
