#1 : Minnow Bathers Swimwear at Need Supply Co. / I love the swimsuit, but I think the main reason I love this is the tattoos combined with the retro florals, gorgeous!
#2 : Unknown / Wish I could find where this is from, it’s so striking!
#3 : Nick Knight ‘Flora’ / More Nick Knight! Can’t seem to get enough of him lately, the blackened rainbow of colours on these is just beautiful though.
#4 : Jose Manuel Ferrater & Paz Vega for the 2012 Lambertz Calender/ Adore Paz Vega & all of the images from this calender (for biscuits?!) were seriously beautiful.
#5 : Feline Zegers / Love this girls work, this piece is quite different to the rest of her stuff, but I love the painterly quality & unfinished look to it.
#6 : Alphonse Mucha ‘La Pater’ series / The main originator of the Art Nouveau style, he considered this series his masterpiece. I love anything with slightly religious undertones, and especially pieces like this that portray it as almost cult-like.
#7 : Old Books / I’d love a bookcase filled with old books like this!
#8 : Paolo Roversi ‘Flowers’ / Possibly my favourite photographer, every time I see one of his pieces it just blows me away. I love his very distinctive style too.
#9 : Alexander McQueen Exhibition at The Met Museum / So gutted I never got to see this. One of my favourite McQueen dresses too!

#1 : Peter Lingbergh for Vogue Italia / Lindbergh is one of my favourite photographers & I just adore Milla Jovovich, I won’t lie I have a total girl crush on her, plus I love the concept of the editorial too. You can see the rest of it here.

#6 : Tattooed 50′s couple / I just love this!
#7 : Caravaggio ‘David & Goliath’ / Despite being very un-religious, I find religious art really beautiful… Caravaggio is one of my all time favourite artists, I love the intensity of his work & his trademark dramatic use of chiaroscuro.
#8 : Rose thorn choker / I have looked everywhere to find who this is by, I’d love it in gold, delicate & yet tough at the same time…
#9 : Red tipped manicure at Donna Karan / Gorgeous! Will definitely be trying this out!

Tattoo / INSPIRATION

A few days ago I finally called to be put on the waiting list for my next tattoo, so these are just a few of my favourite’s & some of the inspirations for my own from my Pinterest. I guess, a little sneak peek into what to expect!

I’ve been wanting to get a new tattoo for years now, I settled on what I wanted about two years ago & have been thinking it over since, just to be sure. It’s going to be in quite a visible place (my forearm) & fairly large, so I knew I needed to give myself a while to make sure I’d still love it in decades to come, and that the meaning would still be relevant to me, unlike my first.

The first was small, but absolutely meaningless, a pretty picture, chosen off of a board in a cheap tattooists one summer holiday at 15, I guess purely to show off to my friends when I went back to school. It’s faded now & it’s bled out a lot, it was not quality work at all, though I guess what do you expect from someone willing to tattoo a 15 year old? I don’t regret it, but I do wish I’d had something custom done, something much better quality by a proper artist, or at the very least spent a little bit more time deciding.

The only doubts I’m having about the next is that it will probably encourage me to get even more, I mean, once half your arms covered why not go the whole way? I’m already dreaming of a white ink one for the next, next one…
