( just what wilson wants dot com )

Hey all.... I've finally got my own domain... YIPEE!!!!!
You can now find me on www.whatwilsonwants.com
This is a huge milestone for what wilson wants and I'm so happy that I now have my very own unique blog address! 
As a lot of you know, I started my blog as a place to store images, interiors, products, lighting, etc, all in one place which would be easy for me to locate all my research. Over the last year and a half, what wilson wants has become my baby and I realised very quickly that other appreciated my posts, and with it, my somewhat unique writing style ;)
I just want to thank you all for joining me on this journey so far, and I look forward to hearing more of your great comments which always puts a smile on my face; you guys have all made this a fantastic year and a half! Equally I have been deeply inspired by all my fellow bloggers out there over the years, who I can now consider my blog family!
I also want to thank blogger (blogspot) for making my life easier as a blogger, but I'm happy to lose you from my blog address, hehehehe ;)

( London living - my winning photo )

I'm so excited at the moment! I woke up yesterday thinking it was going to be just a normal Monday. I was in work for 9:00am on the dot and checked my emails as usual. I was extremely excited to see an email from a very popular London blog called  'London Living'. I had entered a photography competition through them about 2 weeks ago. The competition requirements were to upload a personal photo that represents your Summer of London, so I thought, 'why not'. To my shock and 'over' excitement, I WON!
Here is my winning picture below. You will be able to see my photo along with all the runners-up, at the Getty Images Gallery in Stratford, London in the Autumn. I'm so excited to see one of my photographs in a prestigious London gallery :)
To see more photos by me, please check out my instagram profile.

I have also included some of the runners-up contestants... enjoy.

Have a great weekend everyone :)

( postcards from Paris )

From Paris... with 'a lot' of Love! I have just this minute stumbled across a site called Little Brown Pen and instantly fell in love! They are a multi-disciplinary creative studio, selling personal photographs of the romantic city of Paris. The company was set up by Nichole and Evan Robertson who began the 'Paris Color Project' when the moved to Paris in 2009. What separates this partnership from so many other fantastic photographers, is that they offer stunning collections, organised in a group of beautiful colour co-ordinated series. These collections are all absolutely gorgeous... I love them and will certainly be purchasing a few collections for myself. Can you guess my favourite collection.... Yep, the green one :)
