Red

I love red, in fashion and interiors...It's warm, glamorous and cosy.

Bigger and Brighter: Perigee full moon

This weekend the moon appeared bigger and brighter, as it was closer to the Earth.  Countries with clear skies were lucky enough to see a beautiful dramatic full moon.  These pictures which I love were taken from this article

My fantastic plan.

I read that today from 8pm to 12am you can hopefully see some planets! Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn apparently. I don't have a telescope and I'm not sure how to use one either.  So I'm now looking at these observatories.  I've always loved the look of them.  My dream would be to have one of my own, they can look so beautiful.  Here is my research so far:

Above is the Lick Observatory, US, and a very beautiful full moon.

Also the Griffith Obersavatory, US.

Closer to me, The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, I will have to visit!

Not sure who's this observatory belongs to but it is my favourite and so romantic and cosy.

                              

Observatory inspired hotel in Sydney which looks amazing!

I like this layout too.

Kaleidoscopic, the glass work, colours, light and water are so magical.

I'll upload images when mine is built.

Happy New Year! 2012

Wishing everyone love, peace and happiness.  And below, some pictures I took from the AMAZING fireworks display in London.

Iridescent: I like these....

People are squeamish about them, but I love them!  Beautiful beetles, with iridescent wings in peacock greens and blues and rainbow tints.   There is something so precious and Egyptian about the way they look.  I've always loved jewel tones and gems, which are all in at the moment!  have a look at the pictures below.

Above, two beautiful coloured beetles.

Iridescent Mineral Ring from Urban Outfitters, each one is different, mine has a lot more electric blue tones, but all of them are beautiful.
