Uptown Twirl Illustrations
In just over a month it will be the 1st birthday of Uptown Twirl – with my initial post being made on July 10th 2010. This realisation put me in quite a reflective mood.
I have spent this afternoon thinking back through my past year – the amazing experiences I have had (many a direct result of Uptown Twirl); how far my site has come; and my aspirations for it in the future. There are so many exciting things that will be happening on Uptown Twirl in the coming months and I cannot wait to share them all with you!
In the meantime though, while I was looking back through the hundreds of images I have accumulated for numerous posts, I came across some of my favourite illustrations. I created many of these illustrations to accompany articles and often times just because the subjects were so exquisitely beautiful (i.e. my favourite perfume – Coco Mademoiselle – which also remains probably my personal favourite illustration).
So these are some of my favourite illustrations from the past year… which one is yours? xx

Some Of My Favourite Things…
My June Inspiration List…
Today is June 1st, which means it is time for my monthly Inspirations list. Recently re-watching Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain (Amélie), has delighted my imagination & sent my love of Paris soaring.
This whimsically delightful film depicting Parisian life, has also enticed me to dedicate the month of June to encouraging imagination and enjoying the simple pleasures. Amélie’s love of cracking a crème brûlée with a teaspoon, going for walks in the Paris sunshine and skipping stones across a canal – will make your heart smile. Watch Amélie or your favourite film and enjoy every moment.
Some of the ‘simple pleasures’ that have been and are continuing to inspire me for the month of June…
What are your June inspirations? xx

My New Favourite Item In My Wardrobe…
Some of you may have already seen on the Uptown Twirl Twitter that last weekend I went shopping at Hermès!
And this is what I brought…
A stunning Hermès scarf in delicious pink!
This exquisitely beautiful scarf is already my absolute favourite item in my wardrobe! I would go as far to say, one of my most loved pieces of all time! The colour is divine and it feels so luxurious to wear.
About The Hermès Scarf… Hermès scarves are woven from the silk of 250 mulberry moth cocoons. Hand-painted using multiple silk screens, they are truly works of art! Only two scarf collections are released by Hermès each year, along with re-prints of the most popular designs and limited editions. Since 1937, Hermès have released over 2500 scarf designs, the most recognised being their equestrian creations.
J’aime mon carré! (I love my scarf!)
