Gorgeous girly lingerie is always top of the list and London based label Beautiful Bottoms is all about delicate silk georgette printed sets any girl would love to own. Prices are reasonable around £28 for knickers and £38 for bras

Graham and Green has a fantastic 20% right now off everything until Tuesday 30th November and Beth has just bought these cheeky Jeeves & Wooster's Pendant Lights £150 - £170

In total contrast to the bowler hat lights above, we rather like this cute Bird Cage Chandelier also from Graham and Green priced at £350

Champagne reception at tonight's 'Revelations' Russian Art Private View

This evening Lov Li will be heading down to the Revelations exhibition private view at The Custard Factory's ZELLIG.

This exhibition is the first Contemporary Group Russian Art Exhibition in Birmingham. For the past 20 years there has been a significant interest in Russian Art and a rediscovery of the Soviet period Socialist Realism. Whilst the London Russian Art scene is vibrant, Birmingham has only brief exposure to Russian contemporary artists and exhibitions. Revelations is showcasing a number of Russian and Ukrainian artists now living and working in different countries but who all received their artistic training in the Soviet Union and Ukraine. 

The paintings below are by Vladimir Karnachev

Lov Li @ Sample 2 launch party

On Friday evening we went along to the SAMPLE 2 launch party at Zellig, The Custard Factory. The party brought together a cool crowd from the design community, viewing some great digital prints and graphic art whilst having a few drinks.

Sample is an annual exhibition that showcases the best work from a selection of Midland based creatives. It aims to bring together the best from the area in a way not only to exhibit their work but socialise and communicate. You can check out their website here sampleus.co.uk

The exhibition is then open daily until Friday 26th November (10am-6pm).

Last night we were @ Martin Parr's 'Black Country Stories' Private View

Yesterday evening, we also attended the Private view of one of our fave photographers, Martin Parr. His current photography exhibition on at The Public Gallery, West Brom, is entitled Back Country Stories and captures subjects such as factory workers and locals. Throughout his work, Martin Parr explores ordinary life in Great Britain, by using everyday subjects and capturing British culture and people. He has been producing books focusing on aspects of British life since the 1980's.
