Wow-Worthy Wendy’s World (I’m quite proud of that)

Hi everyone…

Obviously still a complete 2 year old at heart (and proud of it too), the other day I went on a rather exciting trip to…THE MUSEUM OF CHILDHOOD. Genuinely thrilled by the board games, toy trains&trucks, the impressive variety of chairs and of course the barbies, the most exhilirating part of ‘Margarita’s Day Out’ was in fact when I stumbled across the collection of photos entitled ‘Wendy’s World’ by Etienne Clement. I feel I must share them with you and was in fact planning on doing something similar before I saw them but I’m sure there’s some kind of copyright law that now prevents me from doing so!

Anyway…Clement uses a conglomeration of toys placed in specific positions in the foreground and for the background he has recycled a photo that he has previously taken, which are usually really eye-catching landscapes with a sort of building in front. In each photo, there is also a blurred Wendy who watches on and almost represents ‘us’ (the viewer) looking on at the event. Clement’s aim is to capture a child’s play in two sort of ways:

  1. their love of building (shown in the varying landscapes & buildings)
  2. their love of story telling (in each photo it is evident that Clement is trying to represent a biblical, historical or political event)

At the moment I can’t stop staring at them because they are just really cleverly put together and I love how Clement has managed to make each event current with the use of the toys. Feel free to send me your thoughts on them! xxx

Cosmic Love

Winner of the ‘best British Album’ award of the year (and well deserved in my opinion), Florence Welch failed to disappoint the fashion world at the Brits last week- I loved every single one of the cream/white dresses she wore that night and her stunning red locks have made me seriously consider dying my own. (Who would have thought she’s been dying her hair since the age of 9?!) Definitely a girl crush…

 

Tim Walker- I found this London based fashion photographer the other day and I immediately fell in love with his work.  It’s all very English and mystical- Alice and Wonderland meets Atonement. He captures a setting perfectly and everything, to the last detail, is flawless. The conglomeration of colours too are so pretty and light, it literally makes me want to be there.

I’m a 16yr old aspiring presenter/actress who has been touched by the blog bug and after much thought has decided to start a blog, which will basically be a clutter and mesh of what I like most. The best of music, fashion, film, photography and anything else that catches my eye- it will all be here..
Hope you like it x
