Love is in the air...

Snapped this at the weekend when I was lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine down at South Bay.

Sunny...

Today was one of those days that made me feel like I was on holiday. It was super nice and warm and all I wanted to do was bask in the sun. Sadly, I had work to do and spent all day dreaming about the fun I could be having. (sigh)
I did however manage to spend a little time outside (whoop) and saw this:

thought for today...

time is love.

Take on the ol' Time is Money phrase perhaps? I suppose the more time we spend doing stuff that we hate/away from loved ones/etc is more time wasted on things other than love. Or perhaps finding what you love takes time...am I reading too much into this?
Thoughts?

Lovin' Lomo

My love for lomography is always there it is just a little bit stronger today. You see, I finally put my film in to be developed from my trip to the States last month. And when I got them back I was one happy bunny, here is why...

1. I had never tried the fancy red scale XR film that gives you cool, muted tones.
(ISO 50-200...but I think I set mine lower around 30, even riskier!)
2. My old Pentax was having light metering problems which had me worried.
3. I thought I'd ripped the film and would lose it all..eh hem.

The film gives pretty cool results, don't you think? It also helped that the Arizona desert just happens to have the perfect conditions to shoot said film. Really excited to use it again now...hopefully the sunshine will be out this weekend!

If you fancy trying it out for yourself you can get it at your local Lomo stockist or online...here

Thrifty...

On my recent jaunt to the US I couldn't pass the opportunity to search through the jumble that collects within the many thrift stores. As an avid lover of all things vintage I couldn't say no to this 20s inspired dress (I had just watched The Artist and Midnight in Paris) and an old Polaroid camera. The dress I will be giving up and selling on my Etsy store but as for the camera its too good to part with just yet...

Beaded Beauty...coming soon to vic&lily on Etsy.
