Vibrant flowers on the hottest day of the year so far!

It was the hottest day of the year today, a scorching 22 degrees. I hot-footed it to my local park where I was struck by the vibrant reds and yellows of flowers, back-lit by the sun. I decided to attempt to capture it on camera!

A Day of Refinement at The Wallace Collection

I stopped for a coffee in Eat, and the jagged geometric shapes of the paper lights multiplied in the mirror caught my attention.

My favourite room, lurid green and lavishly brushed with gold and cut glass!

Feeling very sophisticated I managed to veer away from the shops on Oxford Street and headed instead to 'The Wallace Collection' a few minutes walk away. A London town house packed with art and luxurious items, it was free to the public; I felt like I had stepped on to a film set with a multi-million dollar budget. I loved the vibrant green wallpaper pictured above and the gold embellishment which made it onto even the most subdued items.
