Get me a Caravan

Been thinking lately how little of England I've actually seen over the years, a country I quite happily call my own. What a treat would it be to travel round the English countryside and up the coasts in one of these retro beauts? Drinking in the views and stopping on a country lay-by for a spot of tea and cake. 
If you think of how much spends go into hotels and travel, I'm sure one of these can be justified...


  All these pretty pics have been taken by Hilary Walker an Australian photographer I had the pleasure of meeting this week. Her portfolio is definitely worth a look if like me you enjoy a little nosey round peoples homes.  She is working on an exciting project for Frankie which may also include a little Nadinooness, fingers crossed we get to grace the pages..

If you are still hungry for more Caravan cool then you can also purchase the book!

Milk from a thistle



It has been a while since I've seen a collection that made me smile like this one, I just love everything! the prints, colours, silhouettes, even the simple styling. I have to admit I've been struggling for inspiration lately but this fun collection has got me excited again. 

When we finally get the chance to produce our own Nadinoo prints I hope they are as pretty and well considered as these lovelies.

This print certainly captures my imagination..

N.E.E.T. Finds

N.E.E.T. Magazine June edition
_
Lovely surprise to find Nadinoo in N.E.E.T.'s latest issue today, loving the selection for a retro road trip.
Could really do with one myself!

I think N.E.E.T. have out done themselves this issue with so many great features on talented designer's Artists and Photographers from around the world. A real faivorite of mine is Nancy Z an illustrator from Berlin who draws the most adorable pics of her daily outfits. Was even more thrilled to see her wearing our Nadinoo Peacock blouse styled with other birdie inspired accessories.

Can't decide who is cuter Nancy or her little characters..?

My Gran Vera the Fashion Icon


Photography by my talented Grandad Raymond Fletcher in the Sixties

At the weekend I was visiting my lovely Gramps up in Sunny Lancashire enjoying the breath taking views, cute villages and pubs all over the country side. I mentioned to my Gran briefly that I would love to have a look through her old pics for some inspiration. Knowing what a glamorous lady she has always been I knew I would find some gems of inspiration. Anywho as we were so busy fitting in all the visits meals and drinks we totally forgot. But Tuesday morning I opened the mail box to find a stuffed envelope full of old photos taken in the 50's and 60's in all shapes and sizes. I was thrilled she had remembered and trusted me with these beautiful pics. I hope you enjoy them and they inspire you, I adore my Gran Vera and think the world of her.
