Hail To The Princess Aurora

One of the most amazing things about a Disney soundtrack is it's ability to not only transport you into a world of complete fantasy (possibly a clichéd look at some form of over-analysed escapism) but also to transport you back to a day in your own past, that afternoon you sat indoors when it was raining. Your mother put on one of the recorded Disney films that has been shown on the BBC weeks ago, and you begin, subconsciously to archive the images and melodies which you see, hear and experience. They create entire emotions, which can only be felt through that one scene, or sole piece of music. Every time you hear that tune throughout the rest of your life, it will bring you back to the atmosphere you sensed during that hour and a half when you were only eight years old. This, is the magic of Disney. Unforgettable, never tainted, and always significant, every feature ever seen makes it's mark.

Watch this

Having achieved pretty niice A-level results, my 'reward' from the parents is a much needed watch. I do have one which i love, although when i look at it at 3pm and i says 6.20 i wonder whether it's time to get one which doesn't require winding up every 24 hours...
Ebay once again comes to the rescue, and there are some amazingly gorgeous vintage Disney watches >

Adorable.

AVIATOR PLEASE

So I'm browsing Elleuk.com, checking out the 12 best aviator jackets on the market for this autumn, and it says Aldo does this amazing one for £59... I'm thinking; OK wow. This coat is gorgeous, looks like Topshop but for half the price. Then I click on the 'Aldo' link, and realise this online store only sells shoes and accessories....

?!?!

I need this coat in my life and they've pointed their readers to a shoe retailer!! I'm not denying the website itself is pretty awesome, some loverly footwear.. BUT I WANT THIS LEATHER BOMBER WITH SOFT SHEEP SKIN LINING AND ZIPS AND POCKETS AND WARMNESS!

I guess it will have to be Topshop after all |-/

Aldo - £59 .. apparently..

It's the circle of Life

I have forgotten how much I love photography!
So even at the Zoo, where the abundance of wildlife is forged, it's still possible to get some fierce shots. Of course with the help of Photoshop, albeit mainly just changing levels and cropping a few frames, I have managed to compile a collection of photos spanning the African plain without leaving the country. I'm rather pleased to be honest.
