Alice Though The Looking Glass

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by glass and the way it reflects light, from collecting marbles and playing alleys in the school playground to simply finding pleasure in buffing them with a cloth and watching them sparkle. I loved chemistry at school, not because I was good at it, but simply because I loved using the small clear shiny test tube's we put a range of colourful chemicals into.

I adore the poetry and history of glass, the thought that something has been around for such along time, that helps illuminate our home's and our lives. Something that is hard, but so fragile, can be jagged or faceted but when blown often has rounded contours.The sound a glass pane makes, when drop's of rain pit pat on it.  When tree's blow, even if we are inside, we get a sense of the wind, even though we can't see it, we see it's effect. So it is with glass, it helps captures light and reminds us just how beautiful it is.

I loved visiting Venice and the island of Murano glass.

This wonderful material is now used in eco home's, as well as stately home's and come in a huge array of colour's. Chandelier's make me giddy with delight and of course mirror's, well, they are a big part of my job as a Stylist, helping clients uncover their own unique style!

Hi lovely ladies, just had to share this collection of beautiful shoe sketche's from Shoe Dish, not only are the designs inspiring but the execution of the sketches is amazing, today I am applauding all those shoes designers out there big or small, who make it in a very competitive industry! My favoutite is the multi colour red, turquoise and yellow, futeristic

style to the left. I would love to know if you have one.

          Have a shoetastic day!!!        Sharon

A Non Pink Moment!

I looove pink, but sometimes pink can take over a little, it's a bit like chocolate, we can become a little too addicted thinking that feminine must equal pink, or sweet cravings can only be curbed with chocolate alone, I am very guilty of this one! We all have our own idea of what is feminine. I have rounded up some of my favourites for today.What are your feminine treats?

To be or not to be that is the the question

                                           I love it when people use fashion in different ways, fashion to me, as well as being very necessary to looking and feeling your best can be just like food or music or dance, mainsteam, or a art form in itself and a form of expression.

 I was so excited to find these body art images, that are fun, sensational and of the unexpected, hope you enjoy them too gals. I love the contridiction of the images created, which fuse the subject and the background together so the women blend into their background, yet clearly the women used in the images are not fading into the background but making a real statement and creating a magical moment! Happy Sunday. 

Grace- love the tone of cream and brown's

What a stunning kimono she wears

Matching gloves and shoes and a hooped skirt, pretty as a daisy

This is my favourite which is yours?

The Scent Of Happiness- It's All About You

You make me feel so young, you make me feel like spring has sprung! This tune was whizzing around in my head on this lovely spring sunday morning, looking out at my lilac tree, I was feeling really lucky to have all of you lovely readers to chat with, visit and to share our passions through this world of blogging.

I love sharing my passion for all things stylish, but really, the best accessory and beauty tip is allowing yourself time to do the things that make you feel truly happy, those who radiate  happiness always look fabuous! If I could bottle what goes into making me feel happy and pass it onto the rest of you lovely gals for when you need it I would!  Scroll down to read just below, what distinct notes my happiness fragrance would contain. What would your unique happiness fragrance contain, I would love to know?-

Sharons happiness fragrance

a note of wild jasmine

a hint of passion

a droplet of hope

the bluest sky ever with the most silky puffy clouds you ever saw

a note of an- opportunity to be creative

 a large dropper of self belief

a note of orange blossom, heady with the promise of summer 

the sweet trill of bird song wafting in through my attic bedroom window in the early morning

an accent of friends and family believing in you, even when you doubt yourself 

Now gently stir in the ability to be open to new possibilites-

 a note of forgiveness

being part of helping to make someone feel wonderful

wild roses soft as satin, luminous in the moonlight and fragrant

doing my job for the sheer joy of it

living in the moment 

hearing the sound of laughter

hearing my son playing his guitar

 

If you read this far, thank-you for taking the time. Please accept the award below, for your blog, to say a big thank-you from me, for being you and for encouraging me to keep my passion's alive and for sharing yours! Happy week to you and I look forward to seeing you soon!
