Party time!

Today I will be spending my time at a Mad-Hatter's themed party on the top of Victoria Peak. In preparation I spent yesterday making easy peasy chocolate cakes and some festive bunting.
Hopefully the threat of thunderstorms is only that and we have a sunshiny day.

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?

Shadows...

Sifting through my camera roll and came across this, it's spookily pretty.

Vintage Make-over

So as you know I have a little vintage online shop over at Etsy.
Most items will run for 4months unless they sell (yay!), at the end of the run they can be removed or re-listed.
After some recent DIY inspiration I decided to take the latest 'expired' dresses and make them over vic&lily style.
I think they look much more wearable now, don't you think so?
Almost wished I'd done it sooner!

I will be re-listing these and a few others on the ...vic&lily... Etsy store soon.

Happy Hump Day!

Impossible is Nothing

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.

me in downtown Phoenix

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

My Weekend...

This weekend I mainly worked but when I took a break it was a good one. My ol' pal E picked me up on his motorbike and we scooted up into the new territories. Our ride was quite an adventure; we snacked on luncheon meat noodles and milk (at an old Dairy Farm), saw a real life tortoise - he must've been a billion years old, oh and we almost drove into China...!

I also discovered how to do this hair...via here
