wanna be elizabeth?
can never seem to escape p and p with my students, although it is some variation from stephanie meyer and vampires which they are also obsessed with… this piece is certainly for all those elizabeth bennet affiociondos..
thunder storms and hitchcock…
what better than to cosy up and watch hitchcock’s rear window while the storm continues outside…especially after getting wet in it countless times today whilst trying to get some shots with the old faithful slr at a couple of beaches. This included some tricky avoiding of lightning strikes of abandoned beach parasol poles, whichI was resolved to use in the shots. left the digital today to return to old faithful bulky pentax. there is still something about the mystery and anticipation of wating to see what the photo will come out like and if it comes out at all rather than just flicking through on your digital. found some fun pieces too on etsy to match my hitchcock, stormy day:

rainbrow brite
i was always a fan of her amazing blue and rainbrow trimmed dress even though i was never a huge rainbrow follower…but any rainbrow yes especially rainbrow cups, mixing bowls etc they just simply cheer a kitchen up. so naturally I absolutely adore this vintage rainbrow comb, stamped hong kong just listed on pinkmilkvintage etsy…very tempting to keep actually…
also found these other gorgeous candy coloured combs listed…
funky japanese comb by vonlipi
cute weiner dog comb by ButlerandMaid
red bow hair comb by MayoMayheme
I want all of them…
little red who?
seeing as thelittleanorakgirl was inspired by little red riding hood and from childhood photos I seemed to have had a favourite outfit of a red jumpsuit with a red huge hood and red wellies…(good job I grew up in a wet climate). naturally I have a love for the character and can’t escape her influences. even at the moment I am currently rehashing some old uni favourite feminist reads of Angela Carter’s short dark stories ‘The Bloody Chamber’, ‘The Uses of Enchantment’ by Bruno Bettelheim and reading said girl in Greek (you have to start again somewhere and it does have some high level vocab in it you know). so these caught my eye when on etsy…
