christmas 2012

just wanted to pop by and say i hope you all had lovely christmas breaks, i meant to post before christmas but things were crazy, and then i went home to hampshire and didn't look at a computer screen for an entire week! think i needed a bit of a break! that's not to say that my christmas was calm and chilled out or anything... ha! but it was fun and lovely and cosy and filled with amazing food and good company. here are a few of my snaps from december -  the first frost of december | christmas lights on camden passage in islington | cable & cotton fairy lights | christmas lights in winchester | the tree | gorgeous gorgeous presents from my family and friends, my gosh, they know me sooo well (or they just look on my pinterest a lot!) polka dots, monochrome and neon pink, whoo!

all photos take on my iPhone and edited with vscocam.

brighton

we booked 3 days off work, for a much needed break, and zoomed down to brighton for a couple of days. the perfect way to start a 5 day weekend & i literally think we chose the most perfect week! all of a sudden the temperatures dropped and the skies cleared and it all got incredibly christmassy! winter is ok with me when it looks as pretty as it has done the last few days. nick and i had never really been to brighton properly before so it was lovely to wonder around the lanes, keep warm by pub fires and enjoy being beside the sea side! which is exactly what most of these photos are of...

if it wasn't for the low sunshine you might even think it was summer! our 5 day weekend was finished off nicely with a trip home home to hampshire. christmas markets, good food and my family. yes.

photographer | saul leiter

some beautiful, slightly magical photographs by saul leiter, for this wintery week. i absolutely adore the mysterious compositions and the painterly, voyeuristic quality of these photos. love love them. quite a few of these are on display at somerset house at the moment at the cartier-bresson: a question of colour exhibition. which is so lovely. and free. so londoners, go!

along the canal

i'm not usually the biggest fan of autumn, but either it's growing on me or it's just been the most beautiful autumn ever this year! sunday was gorgeous and so our day = tea and pastries, a lovely walk along the canal, some shops and home for sunday evening relaxing, food and wine. yum. i squeezed quite a bit of homework in too! but i couldn't stay in on such a fab day, and walking along the canal is one of my favourite things, it's a nice way to escape london, right in the heart of london!

first post

Oh hi! I'm Sally and I'm about to embark on a year long graphic design course. I'm excited, and nervous. But mostly excited. I've set up this blog as a place to collect inspiration and also to share some of my work. And also probably little snippets of my life here and there... we'll see! You can read a little more about me here.
