Here's to a wonderful New Year.
| ...my girl on the beach; meet Boo... |
Me looking at you, looking at me; the strange but sweet voyeurism of the blogging world...P.S. this is not me but kinda wish it was!
It's all about a picture that speaks to me...whether it's a kitchen sink...
Or a hairdo...
Dresses, dresses and more dresses...Vogue style...
![]() |
| ...Lara Stone... |
Houses that take your breath away...
Beautiful, graceful, ballet girls...
The sentimental art; 'Brothers and Sisters' painted by Jessie Wilcox Smith. This reminds me completely of my older brother and I.
A nice cuppa tea...earl grey?
My shoe fascination...
Running for fun...
Stoical beauty...

| ...Carolyn Besette-Kennedy... |
My slight preoccupation with Vegas...
Ooops there he is again...you don't mind do you?
My love of photos of people leaving...
Eames rockers...I want I want I want...in 2011 maybe?
Quotes to ponder; my mind like a sponge...
Love and life and life and love...

My friend Alexa...
My friend Olivia...
My friend Sarah...
A healthy dose of 1980's nostalgia...

| ...'Tootsie'... |
My straight-forward, face-on, 'here is what I think' blog posts...
Pictures of impossible beauty...
Handbags to die for...
And that lovely 'see you next time' feeling...

I've had an absolute ball...and you have been lovely and stylish and kind and thought-provoking...
Lots and lots of love, Lou Lou xxx

Dear Lou, have a very Happy New year, wishing you lots of love and success in 2011. Thanks for all your great comments over the past year. Love Christina xx
ReplyDeleteOh Lou, this was THE most gorgeous post, I lost myself in it!!! And I think I have all the same friends too, even George and Brad ;) Here's wishing :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe it is only a year that you have been blogging, it does seem like forever, in a good way of course.
Your blog is consistently beautiful, wonderful, stylish and fabulously written....I know I am always saying it but you are a very good writer. You have that wonderful knack of writing what we are all thinking....so that we can all nod our heads in agreement and relief that someone else feels it too...only we couldn't have written about it nearly as eloquently - or as honestly.
It's been a blast as they say, I look forward to what 2011 holds for both of us....the end of year will be the "Year 6 experience" for both of us (sorry, schools on the brain at the moment!) so you know I am going to need someone to hold my head over that one. And I think you might just have got the job LOL!!
Lots and lots of love to you special girl, YOU'RE AMAZING!!!! xxxx
PS Those Louboutins.....OMG!!!!!!
Happy New Year Louise.
ReplyDeleteThis blog was beautiful. I love coming back and checking your site. I often share on facebook too because I just love the daily dose of beauty. You have enriched my life and I thank you for that.
I also wanted to tell you I like how your pictures got bigger at the end of this post. Let's think big for 2011, shall we?

Dear Lou

Lovely as usual! The two photos of George are so funny. Don't mind looking at two of them! :)

A great retrospective and gorgeous gorgeous photos. You could post lots more of George and Brad (these guys need no surnames do they) if you'd like to ..... I really won't mind at all. I would love an Eames rocker too. Wishing you a fabulous 2011.
