Miley on her Bicycle... in Teen Vogue

miley teen vogue
photocredit/source: magazine issue of Teen Vogue



Miley's bicycle riding and shopping trips are now making the pages of Teen Vogue. I so hope Miley continues to be an inspiration and rides, rides her bicycle everywhere. At least in her neighborhood at any rate! Just imagine if everyone did their local shopping, and cafe/restaurant outings in their own neighborhoods... and all via bicycle.



For more inspiration: intense, neon colors, super cute and styled out with eye-candy, hyper attention getting fixie /track bike ...then this photo layout one and photo layout two is for you. Of course it would also just happen to be in Teen Vogue as well.



Teen Vogue likes bikes. We
Teen Vogue.

{balloons + beautiful surprises}

Balloons, balloons are everywhere, and happily so, as there are things to celebrate. Always delightful to receive parcels in the post, and one of the fun things about blogging is the beautiful surprises that arrive in the mail. There have been fancy invitations to alluring events, works of art, many books and other lovely things, but the new favourite is the gemma field tote that recently arrived . . . {Thanks so much, Jessica!}

Hope you're having a lovely weekend filled with beautiful surprises!

Oh P.S. i've been trying to finish up Sophie and my kid's book.

Would love to add some new reading to my google reader -- does anyone have any suggestions of lovely new blogs you've discovered recently?

{blue-blooded}

Despite being much more likely to paint a room a soft and pretty shade, feel inexplicably drawn to wonderfully bright and saturated shades of blue, and would love to visit just one home as daring and adventurous . . .

Hey there Friends,
How's your Tuesday going?
Mine got off to a late start...
i got lost in a dream,
and the dream would not let me leave till i had finished it.
So yesterday i got a request to post another drawing from my Character Sketch Book.
I know it's been a while so i thought i would~! :)
and since my dream reminded me of my good friend Sophie Ward,
i decided to post some drawing of her out of the book.
Hope you like.
