Alfie's Antiques Christmas Market






























I found one of my favourite places on earth last night... Alfie's Antiques Christmas Market. An amazing array of beautiful objects from elephant napkin rings (above) to beautiful art deco sideboards. Did I mention the free rum & elderflower?
What more could a girl want?!

Real life Banksy!

I was excited to read in the Metro that Banksy's latest work had been unvieled in Croydon, on the same road as the printer I use at work. Luckily I was due to visit later that week to do a press pass, so as soon as I got the chance I went looking.
And there it was.. but alas! Banksy has been graffitied. How ironic.

I saw this stunning dress by Giles Deacon in a magazine interview recently. It is made entirely from rosettes of black fabric.
Deacon, who is renowned for his use of materials said he was particularly proud of this dress because it proved to him that his team had the ability to create something so technical. It's nice to know that even a genius of Deacon's stature is still challenged sometimes!
