Anastasia Volkova

The photo-diary of a talented international photographer is always going to make excellent blog fodder - right? Russian-based Anastasia Volkova boasts a portfolio of stunning portraits, wedding photography and breath-taking shots of her travels. Her blog documents behind the scenes footage of her day to day extra-ordinary life. I strongly recommend spending a few hours daydreaming over her archives.

Kayture Couture

Ahhh the joys of discovering a new blog to read!

Kayture, run by Kristina Bazan showcases the Swiss starlet's wardrobe full of bright colours, bold florals and statement accessories. The combination of professional photographs (shot by boyfriend James), unique styling and Kristina's model-like looks fuse together to create images that look like they've been lifted from a glossy magazine editorial.

Glow-in-the-dark and Blossom

If you live in Manchester, I strongly recommend that you check out the latest exhibition at Islington Mill in Salford that is running for the next two days. Entitled 'Snot Boobs', its art at its most fun. Leave your shoes at the door, throw on a cape and wander amongst the glow-in-the-dark creations. I love interactive art like this - if you know of anything similar in the Manchester area please let me know!

Also snapped this evening - the tree outside my bedroom window has now erupted into its full lavender-hued glory. Its always short lived, so I'm enjoying it whilst I can.

All photos - me.
