About Me

My photo
i own a little vintage shop on the south coast by the sea, or at vintagepersempre.com. im married and we have a beautiful baby girl. i like going for walks on cold sunny days and trashy reality tv. i love small boutiques, markets and big city centers. im slightly dyslexic so you'll have to ignore my poor spelling, and i rarely use capital letters. my music taste is so varied, from country to screamo, oh and musicals. i love song lyrics, pretty photographs and modern art. i have many guilty pleasures and im really not very cool. im obsessed with drawings and tattoos of birds, but im genuinely terrified of real life ones. i guess you can read on to find out more (:

do birds of summer fly in circles or just fly away?

anyone that knows me will know just how much i love birds, or atleast the doodles, drawings or tattoos of them. 
i dont think i'll ever have the guts to get a bird like tattoo despite how much i love them, so instead i'll just admire them ...

summers coming (:

so happy about all of this lush weather at the moment.
everyones getting out their summer clothes and its just a much happier more colourful time of year.
my attempts at being 'summery' went a bit wrong when i used fake tan the other week for the first time, streaky! maybe i should just stick to 'pale and interesting' hmm ...




i've also been working a lot on the website recently to get more summery things up so keep looking over the next few days for even more summery goodness!

i am not my fears.

just came across this incredibly moving and real photoshoot.
its called The What I Be Project by Ganesh photography.
i believe the idea is for people to challenge their stereotypes they put on themselves and others.
check it out.

'i am not my facial hair'


'i am not my turban'


'i am not my viruses'


'i am not my eye sight'


'i am not my outbursts'

 

'i am not my stage 4 cancer'

'i am not my body dysmorphia'


'i am not my partners'




'i am not my number'



so what would yours be?

racism.

Your car is Japanese. Your Vodka is Russian. Your pizza is Italian. Your kebab is Turkish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies are American. Your Beers are German. Your shirt is Indian. Your oil is Saudi Arabian. Your electronics are Chinese. Your numbers -Arabic, your letters -Latin. And you complain that your neighbor is an immigrant?

inspiration.



so i've spent the last few days thinking of what to blog about.
and for some reason there has been nothing to inspire me.


i mean okay i spent sunday in spittlefields and fell in love with tapestry.
(bought a beautiful green tapestry skirt - pictures to follow)
and also refound my love for b & w t shirts with random words/ doodles on - ha i bought two (:

i spent spent hours yesterday on we heart it and of course stalking the cherry blog for the millionth time. 


but something somewhere kept bringing me back to the idea of faith.
thats faith in yourself, your partner, your family, or possibly having a faith. 


weither you have none or all of these, no matter who or what you believe your god is, i'd recommend this song to anyone. its stunning. 


lifehouse - storm (acoustic)


i know you didn't bring me out here to drown.
so why am i ten feet under and upside down?
barely surviving has become my purpose,
cause i'm so used to living underneath the surface.

if i could just see you,
everything would be alright.
if i could see you 
this darkness would turn into light.

and i will walk on water,
and you will catch me if i fall.
and i will get lost into your eyes,
and everything will be alright.


im not preaching, truely. 
i really dont know what my own beliefs are.
i just know that this song helps, even if it only gives me a little inspiration.
