Jamie Portch

Jamie Portch is an award winning British illustrator and also, I am pleased to say a good friend..

I love his quirky designs and use of humour in his work.

He's just opened his online shop via his website, which I did the styling for.

Definietly worth a look if you want different Christmas present ideas this year and bargain Christmas cards at £1 each! (sadly the cute reindeer isn't included!)

Natasha Lawless...

I met Natasha earlier this year at New Designers while looking for potential new stylist assitants..her LED light boxes attracted me to her stand initially..absolutely beautiful!

Natasha has been assisting us at HRG this week while we are in the thick of shooting the Argos Spring Summer 2012 catalogue and she has been telling me all about her new ranges soon to be available for purchase on her new online shop..I've got my eye on her wallpaper in particular!

Brights...

Here's a couple of snaps taken from when I dressed the table for my 30th Birthday Party- I had a Mad Hatter's Tea Party and all of the guests came wearing an array of different hats..I had a lot of fun...I love the colours of these pics..

Weddings Galore...

It's been a very busy summer including being bridesmaid for my best friend, as well as turning 30 and also travelling to Cyprus for another friend's wedding..

I can't believe the summer is over for another year and we're now in September!

Here's some snap shots from my best friends wedding hipstamatic style...

Hipstamatic Fun

A lovely sunny day today, great for taking some photos with my hipstamatic app of some flowers from the garden and a few bits and bobs borrowed while staying at my parents house..they have a fabulous collection of 19thC blue medicine bottles they found in a secret compartment in their old house as well as an endless supply of vintage china and glass bottles..perfect for some improvised styling!

Beautiful Wedding..

Last weekend I went to my lovely friend Nikki's wedding and it was absolutely beautiful..the sun was shining on us as well which was even better..

She is such a talented lady and designed all of the invites herself along with the other numerous surface patterned elements!

Her table centre pieces were styled with old books and tins, as well as flowers in the most gorgeous colours..

Truly a fabulous day..

Here's a few snippets of the best bits, including a washing line and pegs for people to hang up their hats during the reception meal!
