My love for Vintage Packaging

I absolutely adore vintage packaging... it can really show the characteristics of what time it came from. From the design to the material, it tells the story of that certain era. Some may think of it as collection useless rubbish, but to me, it's a way to revisit the past and enjoy a mini history lesson. As a designer, I love looking back at designs and the way it has evolved to the contemporary world we live in today. Packaging is such an important part to brand any product, to me, it's 50% towards selling a product. 

Here is a little preview of some of my packaging. Most have been boxed away and this is what sits in my little cabinet of vintage finds...

Travel with Elle: Brighton

So part one is all about the beautiful tourist attractions, now part two is about the heart of BRIGHTON! Brighton is well known for it's bohemian vibe with many artists, craftsmen and happy-go-lucky locals. The seaside city is surrounded with quirky boutiques where you can find one-off pieces. There are many antique shops around town, with 'Snoopers Paradise' being one of the busiest. North Laine is your equivalent of trendy Soho. With streets full of outdoor cafes, bars, shops and art galleries... expect to spend a couple of days there for a true experience! 

By Beloved Muses...my inspiration

There are many people who inspire me in life, but these two beautiful stars are truly influential to me. They are beautiful in their own ways... two completely different and not comparable. I would love to have the poise and grace of Audrey and Norma Jean's (marilyn) radiance and charm. Their admirable personalities on and off screen has truly captured my heart.
