surreal SHINee moment


Not my usual music choice but I was invited to a live set at Abbey Road Studios by the Korean Band SHINee, it was amazing to have the oppotunity to go to the historic Abbey Road Studios. I was with three of my beautiful friends, which is a perfect number to recreate the iconic Abbey Road Beatles cover, however the crossing was crowded with SHINee fans. As we waded through the crowd to get through the gates we felt slightly guilty we didn't know anything about this band, but why say no to this opportunity? Our names were on the guestlist so we went straight in, I was number 1 on the list I may add. Inside we were surrounded by screaming SHINee fans and staff that had put this show together. We all felt slightly out of place but when the band came out we fell in love. These boys were beautiful, wonderfully dressed, fantastic dancers, brilliant singers and we all couldn't help to be charmed by their catchy songs. After that day they had a new adoring fan. Me.

inspiring book





This vintage book was read to me when I was a little girl. While all my classmates were reading Disney classics and Horrid Henry's I was being read books from old library sales. This book was first published in 1970, quite a bit before my time. It tells a story of a little witch that wherever she walks she leaves a trail of flowers. These images have stayed with me and inspired the name for my blog.
