Five Minutes with my SMAAK Handbag – Regular Random
While I was in Amsterdam, I spent a couple of hours wondering around the city on my own, and discovered a wonderful handbag store called Smaak Amsterdam and immediately fell in love with about 5 different bags. I was particularly drawn to the yellow bags, although the pink and they grey bags were also fabulous.…

Pink & Peach
This is the most classic shape, I adore it. There was one other that was completely pink and it was stunning (you can see it among the photos here). This one has such a beautiful graduation of colour from pink to peachy apricot – divine. x desleyjane

Royal Delft Ceramic Factory
I adored Delft – what a lovely city. The Royal Delft ceramic factory was amazing and I loved getting into the details of the behind the scenes work – the tools and unbaked pieces were fascinating. As soon as I saw the artist painting a tiny clog, I again knew I had to get out…

Curls of Delight.
I was so taken with this particular flower. I chose it predominantly for its colour, but I did also notice the curls. Once it was in a vase on the table, I was eye level with this beauty and was fascinated by its curls. The shape and the way the colours follow the curves really…

The Hague & Madurodam
While in Amsterdam, I took a bus tour, from Amsterdam up to The Hague, and then Madurodam, then Rotterdam and finally Delft. Here are some photos from Madurodam (except the first one, which is The Peace Palace in The Hague). Madurodam is a miniature village – a little park, where they have built 1:25 scale…

Ascension.

Amsterdam in Living Colour.
This city is beautiful. I confess that I’ve used my iPhone a lot for photographs, because it’s so easy. And in bright light, it’s superb. But I never think to share my iPhone photos here, my habit is to only share the Olympus ones. But if I do that, we miss out on the more…

Changing the background – a new RegularRandom idea
What a difference a background change makes?! These first two sets of photos are taken in exactly the same location and conditions, but I have merely swapped out the placemat that sits under the vase. Firstly, I used a white placemat, then swapped it for a black one. I have been thinking about adding a…

Amsterdam in Mono
This beautiful city is full of colour, which I’ve shared on social media, and I’ll share here too, but I love the look of black and white and minimal colour as well. I feel like this trip is helping me to redefine my editing style and I’m enjoying it immensely. Here are a few of…

Pink Ruffled Tulips
I didn’t get the name of these. They were just gorgeous. Such full heads, packed together to form this delicious carpet of flowers. I’m going to use these photos as backgrounds and wallpapers and in my planner. Just divine. I still have the Dior ones to share as well – those are stunning too, maybe…
