I’ve just started I Capture the Castle after much recommendation and I think its lovely so far! What are you reading at the moment?

I love this Jean Paul Gaultier spring fashion show for Hermes!

I’d totally dress like this and if you know me well enough you know I actually would!

On saturday I went to Wimbledon with Nicole and Alex.

We queued from 6am for 4 hours (its just what you have to do)

got free stuff

felt proud to be a Robinson

drank Pimms

Saw some pretty sweet games

didn’t get too close to Nadal

the highlight was seeing the Williams sisters. They are such legends and ofcourse they won!

It was such an awesome experience. if you’re in London during this time you have to go!

I’ve been looking for anchor necklaces and nautical related items for such a long time and London is like sailor crazy! I even got my little niece in on the action.. I bought her this sweet little tennis dress from Zara Baby. Man! I wish I could buy her all the little mini fashion items. tooo sweet to bear!

There you can get books and music you wouldn’t get in normal shops, cameras, jewellery and very interesting pretty clothes. The price tag isn’t so cool (because they say most clothes are “vintage” or made from vintage material) so i didnt buy anything. but i WAS lucky to find out that Petticoat Lane – a Sunday Market has a stall which sells overstock clothes from Urban Outfitters for a 1/4 of the price! So I found these dresses – in the shops 48 pounds. at the market 9 pounds! score!

oh and don’t you love the bunting in their window display? I do.

Saw this lovely lady on Tuesday evening!  her voice is pretty sexy! I admit I only knew about 4 songs, her new album is very country which isn’t exactly my style but there is one really cute song about her dog!

all my photos were pretty blurry from the night. but my seat wasn’t half bad!

I’m going to jack johnson at the O2 arena next week! YAY! but I think i have back row seats so i’m sure he’ll just be a little ant of a man from far! i’m excited none-the less!

Dylans pressies are officially finished. The last 3 were kind of similiar.

Remember I said a while ago that one day I was going to make my own brand of Jam called Emma-Jane Jam! Well I made a little logo and collected some jars. I have yet to actually make the jam, but I do have a good recipe!

Anyway, my last 3 pressies were put into future Jam Jars! have a lookie.

How cute are my jar lid covers?

As soon as I release my range of Jams you’ll know about it!

Hot Summers day, Hyde Park Rose garden and new nice food! (I want to buy and eat everything at M & S – Marks & Spencers! Its like Woolworths buut.. BETTER!)

Percy Piglets

mmm. I love food and I love roses and being surrounded by roses you can imagine it smelt diviiiine! definitely taking Dylan there when he gets here! C’mon already!! 10 days to go!

Here in London, there is an incredible museum called the Victoria and Albert Museum. and it really is Royal, the building itself is like a palace! Absolutely massive with a stunning garden in the middle. This musuem has so many beautiful things, sculpture, fashion, jewellery, ceramics, architecture.. (and the eating hall is like a ballroom)

Anyway. I will show you some of the things there another time, for now I have to blog about this! They had a special exhibition on Grace Kelly as a style Icon, and I got tickets for last friday night! They had over 50 outfits from her designer wardrobe including her famous hats and bags and they had clips from her life and movies playing on the walls! Oh my… the outfits, the movies, the music! I WISH I lived in the 50′s!

Grace Kelly is stunning, stylish and gracful. I REALLY wish I was her. She was an actress turn princess (seriously she married the prince of Monaco) and still known today for her impeccable style and beauty!

I have decided to watch my way through some of her old movies.. Starting with High Society! featuring Frank Sinatra and music by Louis Armstrong! Amazing – click here for the original trailer!

hope you have enjoyed the visual adventure through all the colours of Portobello road. Now you can really decide if you want to go there or not. I hope i’ve convinced you! until next time Notting Hill. You were lovely!
