I rediscovered my ribbon box. I really want to start making more of an effort and give more time to present wrapping. I really rushed this Christmas, I think if you have lots of adornments, papers, ribbons etc to choose from, you can be so much more creative.
I went to see the Ian Dury film, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll at the Tyneside Cinema. This is my favourite local cinema as it is independent and always shows great films. I haven't quite decided what I think about the film. Enjoyable yes, I love biographies but at the same time a little strange.
I went for a Sunday morning walk at the Victorian Saltwell Park and managed to get so close to this squirrel to be able to take his picture.
I received this vintage 1980's dress from Covert Candy. The print is slightly louder than I would usually choose but I love the neck and shoulder detail, once shortened it will be very wearable.

Great pictures. I love the first one. The ribbons all look so pretty.
I wass thinking about watching 'Sex, Drugs & Rock n roll'. Would you recommend it?
oh youre absolutely right about thinking more about presents, i start thinking about christmas still in summer (it takes a while to find a perfect gift.. or 14 perfect gifts for family and friends! ) :)
and I love the squirrel, they remind me of disney movies :D
I was at the Tyneside cinema on Saturday too, unfortunately the film we wanted to see was sold out so we just got coffee instead!
You really do take the loveliest photographs :)
These are great pictures! I love the ribbon box. That is such a great idea. I am such a bad wrapper I should take more time doing it as well.
That is a gorgeous dress! It is loud for me too but I think you'll pull it off nicely!

Presents are so much nicer with good wrapping, i have a box full of papers, tissue, bows and ribbons x
I want a ribbon box too... I'm so fond of wrapping gifts but my stuff are so disorganized.
I love the color and the prints of that vintage dress.
Ha! Maybe that was my squirrel friend: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2009/06/good-squirrelbad-squirrel/

love ribbons + that squirrel is too cute.
I am the worst wrapper! I always try to get my sister to do mine. Ah ha ha
I have lots of ribbons, bow etc too but when it comes to it, I never have time and just use a gift bag.
Love Urban Buzz, can't wait to see the lookbook.
Yeay! I'm so happy you will join our little pyjama party. :)
Bisou!
I love wrapping! But it is hard to do cute details when it's rush season, haha :) I like hoe you have a ribbon box though :) mm, I agree about that print.. but I'm sure if the dress is short it wont be as loud, if that makes any sense..
I bet your dress is going to look awesome when your finished with it...I like that print!!!

Oooh, will we be seeing pictures from the lookbook soon?
I don't normally wear orange...actually I don't own anything orange, but that sweater is cute! Also I love that site, I'd never heard of it before and it seems like a good idea to swap clothes since everyone wins, yay.
Your life thru the lens looks pretty cool, ma'am. Keep up the good work - and good find on the vintage dress. I think nice orange pieces are hard to come by.
