pieces of recently.

As usual, work took over my life recently. But now I have three long weeks of nothing before my next job. This three weeks will definitely be filled with finally spending some time with the best friend, a holiday to Barcelona and eating. A massive amount of eating.
But on my first proper day to relax, here are some images of my life recently.

The last photo is a collection of wrap gifts from the film I just worked on. It was an amazing job with amazing people. I'm totally going to be working the CND t-shirt and leggings combo on holiday. Most likely as PJs rather than in public

food.

I've eaten a lot of good food recently.

 

The last three photos are from my best friend and my favourite restraunt, La Petite Auberge on Upper Street in Islington.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. 

sunshine shoes.

I'm not really an impulse shoe buyer these days.
But how how could I resist taupe and acid yellow?!

it's the thought that counts.

My best friend is concerned that I'm losing weight because of work. So today he made me a packed lunch full of home made cakes and sausage rolls. And a sweet message for afters.

who run the world...

It's International Women's Day. And I am a feminist. Not in the old fashioned bra burning hairy legs way but in the new way so many of us embody the ideas of feminism. I am determined, limitless and very very lucky. Thousands of women all over the world are not as lucky as I have been to be born in a country where women can be independent human beings and achieve whatever they like be that owning their own business, creating, being a devoted mother, even driving a car. Yes the world is a much better place for women, but there's still a long way to go.
My sister is a far more articulate person so I will direct you towards this amazing blog post from her.
As for me, here are some of my favourite women and those that inspire me, for many different reasons.

 

Hetty Bower. Peace Campaigner.

One of the founding members of the CND.

At 106 years old she still marches for peace.

 

Grace Coddington.

Fashion is insane, stupid and often damaging.

But it's about beauty and play and Grace Coddington has never forgotten that.

 

Elizabeth I.

I need to read more on her. I've been fascinated by her since primary school.

  Kirsten Wiig.

Comedy is difficult. Comedy as a woman is even more difficult.

Kirsten Wiig is just plain hilarious.

These are by no means the most incredible women in history. I just really really like them.
