Things of beauty...

A whole lot of soul-searching has gone on this week and I think I have come to a conclusion that I am content with. It's funny isn't it how life makes you do these mental audits every now and then; this one has been brewing for a while and now I have decided - it's all OK I will stay as is. I got a present from my husband; he arrived home last night, a rainy Thursday, with a package from Mulberry. I had an inkling it was coming but still, let's just say that I slept with my new handbag next to my bed just like when I was little and I had new shoes and couldn't have them far from me overnight! Old habits die hard.

I have had some wonderful comments this week from readers of my little blog and it has warmed me to know that people out there empathise. So thank you.

I have a weekend ahead of catching up with friends, we have the task of teaching the kids to play Monopoly and generally trying to re-group before another working week next week. I am working on a new project that is testing my brain capacity - but I kinda like how that feels. And any day now I will become an Auntie again...literally counting down til my lovely sister in law Natasha has her babe!

Old school models...

Funny old evening last night...went to bed at 8.30pm feeling utterly exhausted and quite out of sorts. Was it a full moon or something? Anyway, today I feel the urge to just ponder on something distant and unobtainable; things of beauty of the human kind. Its nice to gaze at models - what must it be like to look like that? I know the media images send us all slowly insane with our own insecurities but just for a moment its good to appreciate the beauty of the human form...in its most extreme prettiness.

Christy Turlington by Patrick Demarchelier

I remember this shot - it was on the cover of Vogue, early 90's featuring the 'Supermodels' Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz. I used to have it pinned to my wall as a teenager then. I also liked Helena Christensen as the Danish contingent; whilst she does not appear in this picture she was very much of that time.
