posted this image today from

The National Portrait gallery

It is a sculpture consisting of stuffed animals and feathers

I find the execution of this enthralling

Creating an image from a shadow 

something from nothing

so thought provoking and inspiring

as a creative person I am constantly

Looking, questioning and exploring

I have been reading

THIS

 A book by the insiring

Keri Smith

The journey of the creative mind is a fascinating one

we can be our own worst critic

"Compare and despair"

We need to remember to give back to the well

the creative well

so I have begun my explorations 

i will keep you posted

Hair and wake up

 Living in New York and working away from home,
my daily routine of crocs and tracksuits just doesn't cut it any more......

Now I have to dress for work

and while the atmosphere is very relaxed a girl likes to put her best foot forward.

The snow, ice, freezing rain etc is a challenge I must say

particularly as most of my winter clothes are in my mothers attic

and I am out the door at 7am.

I am trying to do the clever thing of laying out tomorrows outfit the night before

.............it's a work in progress

Here are some outfits I have been finding inspriring.

All from The Sartorialist

The fabulous Phoebe Philo
Love the tailored jacket over the chunky knit

J Crew

Love these colours

another dilemma I face is what to do with my hair

This is such a great hairdo

These 3 images from Hanelli Mustaparta

This is very cool , from the Michael Kors show

but a little impractical

mine has grown quite long and I like to wear it up 

elastics hurt my head and those claw things are not very chic!

In fact I have often wondered why the world of hair accessories was extremely 

lacking in good ideas that were easy but also 

looked good.

Today I discovered these

they twist in to your hair are incredibly simple and give you that tousled bun affect

that's the kind I like

Ingenious

and they stay in

To order them online you can go HERE

Also this weekend got a manicure and eyebrow wax

......... I AM turning in to a New Yorker

NOTE: This is MY opinion and I was NOT paid any money nor given any gift to express this.........just  saying, in honour of transparency
