Fluoro DIY....

I always love to observe the little ways in which people care about their appearance....the small things they do that make such a difference......



Like.....if you want fluorescent shoes then just go ahead and make them!

PS - Note what this young man is carrying in his hands, too.  Are books becoming the new "must have" accessory??  ;-)

Blue by you.....

Aaaaah, how wonderful to see someone carrying a real-life book......not a Kindle.....not an iPad or a laptop, but a genuine, 100% old-school type, book!  
Personally, I refuse to believe that there will come a time when people will no longer appreciate - or indeed even know - the joys of holding a book in their hands......smelling it's smell and feeling the weight and texture of the paper.  

Long live the humble book!

High standing....

There is something I like more than fashion, more than style, more than almost anything!  Books!  Anyone who knows me is very aware of just how much I like my books, and this is a welcome, and already greatly loved, addition to the library.

From Where I Stand is a sublime collection of Mary McCartney's photographs, and includes both public and private images.  Having been privileged enough to gain access to some of the iconic moments in both fashion and music worlds, and having been lucky enough to know some of the most creative and ground-breaking personalities of our times, these pictures are a magical peek behind the curtain - a glimpse of fame, fashion and showbiz that we rarely get!

Throughout my life I have (all too rare) moments when I contemplate giving up my worldly goods and attempting to live a life of freedom, no longer tied down with clutter and "stuff".  However.......there is one thing that always brings an end to these thoughts of a zen-like existence - I simply couldn't be without my books!!!!

C
ertainly, from where
I stand, Mary McCartney's latest offering does absolutely nothing to diminish my passion for books!
