Dance Dance Dance

Ah, it was a matter of time before Boys Noize appeared on here!

I am going to see Chemical Brothers on Saturday and to say I can't wait would be an understatement. I am currently taking myself through their back catalogue and I REALLLLLLLLLLY WANT TO DANCE NOW! I love them so much, but have never seen them - shocking! I tried a few years ago but they were rained off stage (WTF!) - I would have been angry, but it was one of the best festivals of my life - Boys Noize DJing on a bus and dancing for hours with my friend Guppi - doused in glitter. Ah happy memories.

I love festivals, and I love dancing. I would say that dancing is probably my favouritest thing to do in the world......

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Digitalism are playing. I love love Digitalism sooooooo much! Their new album 'I Love You Dude' is not what I was expecting at all. The songs have a slightly happier poppier vibe about them which I wasn't sure about at first. But after the initial shock at their change in direction, I've decided I like it. Their first album 'Idealism' was pure genius, I guess it is hard to top that. Every song on 'Idealism' is brilliant and I would pick a new favourite with every listen, but there seems to be something lacking on the new album. There is no Jupiter Room equivalent on 'i love you dude'. Maybe I just need to listen to it more.

Oh gosh! I forgot about this guy. Admit it - we all wish we had a friend who dances like this! It's pretty spectacular

Hmmm... I am gonna go put Chemical Brother Electronic Battle Weapon 7 on really loudly now.

GÜTEN MORGEN

Morning!Morning!

Its about a gazillion degrees in my flat at the moment, and there is some festival going off along the river which is reverberating off the buildings and sounds awful. Nevertheless - it is SUNNY so I am H A P P Y! I think ginger beer and a park are on the cards for the rest of the day.

As always I woke early - this is never ever by choice, I would be sleeping 'til at least half ten if I had things my way. My flat just gets sooooo warm and the sun comes straight through the blinds. Gah! But this Sunday morn I don't mind as I have a chance to do some unnecessary shopping!

Look it!

And I found these wonderous things:

Dino Trophy coat pegs

Right well - its fast approaching the afternoon period and this post is entitled "good morning", so I am just going to quickly post about the amazingness that is Henry Hollands bone tights, and make myself a pot of Sri Lankan tea. Henry Hollands House of Holland bone tights are the most Bianca-esk tights I have ever seen. The only thing I dislike about them is the fact that I cannot buy them yet. I NEED THEM!



The most fantastic tights in the world

Taxidermal stuff of dreams

I asked my mum for some taxidermy for my 21st birthday. I am now 26 and there is still a taxidermal shaped hole in life. My problem is I really like expensive taxidermy - like the fireplace grates with 20 woodland birds....... and great big bears.

I might however be willing to save for a mallard lamp:

This utterly wonderful creation is by the brilliant Alex Randall (http://www.alexrandall.co.uk/).

Last time I was in London I may have spent a little too much time peering in the window of Jaguar Shoes (Old Shorditch High Street). Jazmine Miles-Long produces the taxidermy and Lilli Cowley-Wood turns it in beautiful printed textiles. I stood there in awe, the outcome is simply stunning and I want it all. If someone would like to make me a dress out of this fabric, I would be mighty grateful!  http://www.taxidermytextiles.blogspot.com/

I ordered some feathers of eBay and was rather shocked when I opened the package and found a whole Pheasants wing. After the initial queasy feeling of pulling the wing and finding its joints still intact, it swiftly made its way onto a fascinator base and into my hair. It has become a firm favourite of mine if ever I feel the need to dress up an outfit. I think I may well wear it to the variety show tomorrow eve.

I don't think you can class Lolo's pieces as taxidermy, but I am going to include them in this post any ho. Lolo Holmes (http://www.etsy.com/shop/missholmes?ref=pr_shop) is an amazing photographer from Leeds. She also collects skulls and bones from the Yorkshire dales applies delicate gold leaf and creates truly unique necklaces. I recently did a stall with her at the Nation of Shopkeepers, I resisted for about half an hour before nabbing one of her delicate pieces for myself. I would post a picture of the necklace I purchased on here (a rabbit skull), but I wouldn't it do anywhere near enough justice (I am not a photographer). Instead here is one of hers:

There really is nothing like her pieces, they are so very beautiful. I recommend you all go look at her etsy shop now!

My house is going to be an amazing when I am older. I imagine it will be very much like a haberdashery meets the natural history museum meets your grannies kitchen. I cannot wait!

Hello

Hello

I'm Bianca, a somewhat part time designer of hair accessories and rather bold jewellery. This is a list of my wants, needs and inspirations which i will probably use much in same way as an online diary.

I think I have borderline ADHD and need to be constantly occupied, I am always making something new. I love patterns, colour and taking traditional techniques and applying them in an interesting and new way. I knit, I sew, I fold, I have screen printed in the past, and will hopefully screen print in the future.

That's enough intro I think - I hate introductions!
