Coolness CapturedJust anything that’s cool!

Just to let you know part 2 of Coolness Captured is here. I hope you’ll join me there for more examples of what I consider to be cool.

I just wanted to add some photos of a few of the Christmas ornaments around our home.

Not to be confused with the pop group with the same name.

Today  I was shocked to see hundreds of birds in our front field. As you will see from this series of photos I took, the horse didn’t seem to mind sharing his field with this flock of seagulls at all, and even as they all took to flight he carried on eating.

We live about an hours drive from the sea, and have no idea why these birds were here. It’s hard to capture just how surreal a sight it was. The noise was deafening!

I’ve recently discovered the amazing photography of Dan Sorensen and was delighted to find these shots taken very near to our home in Arizona. I think he really captures the contrast of high tech buildings surrounded by cactus, palm trees and mountains.

I’m a great fan of The Z Gallerie too.

…until now…

Thank you Emma Watson for cutting your hair short.

Studded Trainers/Sneakers and Canvas boots are the latest trend, along with studded jackets. Would you wear them?

Not much progress to report on new stuff in the house in AZ. We bought the silver hammered bowl from a great store called West Elm and all the glass ornaments were from Crate & Barrel. These are in the family room that looks out onto the lake and I wanted to create a “watery” look inside too.

We intend to leave the baubles there generally, and not just for Christmas.

If you really want to look cool then you need to get a brightly coloured plastic jelly watch. Hip hop and Grime artists are better known for iced out gold and silver but adding this kind of watch to your collection is cool too! Toy Watch and the Timex Expedition Brights Chronograph Watch appear to be the most popular. Of course there are many cheap rip off versions too!

I just love seeing photos of rappers with their kids. They have this image of being all tough and hard and yet they show their soft side when they are pictured with their children. I’ll always do my bit to promote the father child relationship as I often think it’s sadly over shadowed by the mothers.

It really is amazing what you can find on Ebay. For just $199,000.00
Approximately £127,245.99, you can buy this wonderful Elephant Statue. Check out the listing here.

Any takers?
