Rebecca Newport

Welcome to Friday Feature. This week I am sharing with you the beautiful work of stylist, Rebecca Newport.

Rebecca Newport is a London based freelance stylist for interiors, still life and food props. After studying Textile Design at the prestigious Chelsea College of Art she started life out as a fashion and homeware buyer for BHS and Marks and Spencer. Since then she has turned her attention to styling and her delightful work can be seen in Elle Decoration, Country Living Magazine and Country Homes and Interiors magazine, to name a few.

We are having such miserable wet weather here, even by British standards, so I am dreaming of the sun coming out because I really want to play in the garden! But until it does (ever hopeful) I am loving looking at Rebecca's gorgeous outdoor, stylishly unique shoots.

Happy Friday, sweets!

Sweet Paul

Back in January I did a post about the wonderful prop stylist, Paul Lowe. I love Paul's styling as I find it very sweet, delicate and charming as well as being very clean and simple in approach. Well, imagine my joy when I discovered he had launched an online magazine called Sweet Paul. It is full of his gorgeous styling along with craft ideas like the gorgeous Frozen Flowers which would look amazing at a garden party, or the drinks umbrellas which you could make in a print to match your tableware. The magazine is also packed full of gorgeous recipes and tips on styling.



Have a sweet day!

Paul Lowe

For Christmas I was lucky enough to get a Nikon digital SLR camera. I loved my Nikon Coolpix but was getting frustrated with it in the Winter months as all my pics were coming out dark.

One of my aims this year is to get better at setting up shots, and photography in general. Along the journey to come I want to share with you some of my favourite inspirational pics that I find from photographers and stylists.

First up is Paul Lowe, a prop stylist with Vivian Artists. He was born in Oslo, Norway and currently lives in Brookyln, New York. He has been working in the industry for 17 years after being introduced to styling by a photographer friend. He is inspired by the love of creating beautiful works and his favourite projects are those that are the complete package from planning, props, food styling and everything else in between.

I love Paul's styling as I find it very sweet, delicate and charming and it's very clean and simple in approach.

Have a sweet day!

Studio Toogood

The photos above are from Studio Toogood:

"Studio Toogood designs, directs and executes interiors and environments from concept through to creation. Under the creative direction of London-based interior stylist Faye Toogood, the Studio collaborates with clients who seek alternative ways of developing their brand. Its distinctive approach disregards convention in favour of something altogether more brave, joyous and impulsive."

I love the tea set in the first pic, the plush vintage looking throw, and of course I want the large bird cage filled with flowers.

Have a great day!
