Hey peeps,
hope you are all doing well?!
I dropped off the radar for a while to visit Scotland again.
It was my mother-in-laws 70th birthday on Thursday, so we decided to go up and spend a week with her.
We just got back last night and today I did the Can't Buy Me Love market at The Boogaloo but I'll blog about Scotland and the market tomorrow.

I meant to post this blog before I went to Scotland but never quite managed to get around to it, better late than never ;)
A week and a half ago I had a photo session with an amazing London based singer-songwriter called Faith Taylor. I approached Faith a while back after falling in love with her voice at a gig and asked her if she'd be interested in taking part in a little vintage clothing inspired photo session at my house. We were messaging each other on Facebook prior to the session to establish what sort of theme would best suit her personality and music style. Faith is a self-declared tomboy so we went with an androgynous style.

Look 2

| Vintage 50s felt hat and 70s ethnic embroidered waistcoat |
Look 3

| German military shirt teamed a cowboy style scarf |
I really enjoyed doing this little session and I'm planning to do more of them next month.
Faith was a real joy to work with and I'll be sure to keep an eye on her future gig listings.
Before we went to Scotland I met up with Leslie and we went to take in the Lichtenstein -A Retrospective exhibition at the Tate Modern, which was absolutely fab!

| Vintage 50s trousers, 70s Liberty print suspenders, 70s lurex blouse, sleeveless knitted jumper, Handmade African necklace, Frocktasia earrings, handmade tote bag made by Leslie, Lowepro camera bag & DMs |
I'll post about Scotland & my market adventures tomorrow but right now I'm going to crash and burn, I'm bushed...cheerio my dear pals ;)
Loads of love,
Jennie

Caledonia? Can't Buy Me Love market? You've got my attention.
And she's beautiful.
man I want to live somewhere with a real museum. That's not asking for to much.
My. You have been very busy. Beautiful photo shoot.
Ooooooh lady you've got talent!! Faith looks so relaxed with you behind the lens, those pics are exhibition-worthy. I really love the beautiful waistcoat she's wearing:) xo
I love the 70s ethnic embroidered waistcoat of the Look 2 outfit you styled for Faith Taylor. I just listened to one of her YouTube videos :)
For some reason I remembered that you have been taking courses in rescue diving and CPR and noticed that
one of the pieces of artwork at the Lichtenstein Tate Retrospective you saw which was on loan from the Museum of Modern Art in New York
(somewhat near me), was titled "Drowning Girl". (I suspect that it's my mind grasping for lucidity in my old age). The notes by Curator Anne Umland are interesting.
Belatedly, Happy Birthday to Mark's mum 2 or 3 days ago (Thursday).
Your off-the-radar week or so was obviously a very busy one.
It looks like the androgynous vintage mood of your styling for Faith Taylor may have snuck into your outfit just a tad in the last photo of your post just before you sign off, bushed. Well done.
I look forward to seeing your blogging and/or photos from Scotland when you did the Can't Buy Me Love market at The Boogaloo after you've recuperated some.
I hope you both get some well deserved sleep and rest. :)

And I've been wondering where you vanished all of a sudden :)
The photo session pictures are super, so professional!

Jättefina foton med en härlig känsla!
Fullkomligt älskar dina byxor , hittar aldrig bra byxor här .
Proppfullt av kvinnor med edge i det här inlägget! Bilderna på den androgyna singer-songwritern är ... rörande. Kan inte sätta fingret på varför jag tycker så, men de berör och jag gissar att hon är helnöjd.
