David Hamilton - A favorite photographer I keep returning to. x

girls, bikes, flowers, free love, fun,escape

. English but based in St-Tropez, France, David is almost certainly the most popular and successful art photographer the world has ever known. Much of Hamilton's work depicts early-teen girls, often nude. He produces dreamy, romantic image which have been the subject of some controversy. My favorite  'Editions de la martinere' .

My favorite cookbook

Ottolenghi Cook book is my favorite cookbook this season

This book has inspired my husband Nick to cook. last night we cooked the Meatballs in tahini sauce. Our favorite recipe is the sweet potato and sage gritan. 

"Ottolenghi draws on a wealth of culinary traditions – with a focus on the Mediterranean basin – providing inventive yet honest food, anything from a lemon and mascarpone tart to a grilled mackerel with olive and raisin salsa, made only from the best basic raw ingredients."

Fleur Wood is now exclusivley stocking Pink Lou Lou

Once upon a time on a small island called Tasmania just off Australia a girl was born.

Known by the name of Skye, she grew up with a love for horses and adoration for her mother's beauty and style. When Skye came of age, she first moved to Melbourne and thenSydney, got inspired, then got sentimental and in 2009 created an enduring symbol of friendship for her girlfriends – the Map of Tassie necklace. If you're Australian, the Map of Tasmania will strike a chord. If you're not, it won't but look at the shape! What's more important is that offering was the start of Pink LouLou, an eclectic and crafted ready-to-wear jewellery brand that salutes personal style and gold stars caring gestures. Pink LouLou is inspired by times past, as much as it is by flicking through fashion images and combing weekend markets. We follow trends but don't hang off their every word. Poignantly, each piece of sterling silver and gold Pink LouLou jewellery is made in Australia and made with love.
