Earlier this week I was asked to come up with some head pieces for the upcoming Spring Carnival. Not one to back away from a challenge I got to work and boy did my hands hurt from sewing. Below are the results. I have had some really great responses and as such have decided to offer a bespoke service for anyone heading to the races that would like a one off exclusive headpiece. Please get in touch if that is you – fascinators@lydiajewels.com

These four are one offs.
I am on a roll this week. It has been a while since I have been totally stoked with a shoot. But last Thursday I shot a story that I love love love and can’t wait to see the results. Helping, was the fact that I love the team. Make up artist and hair extraordinaire Rachel Montgomery, Photographer Rory Fink, my fabulous assistant Nicole and amazing model, Sam at Chic. I was really happy with my styling and adored the hair Rachel did. The look was black widow meets Parisien chic. Below are a few behind the scenes shots.
Today I am at Sun Studios shooting another editorial with another great team. Photographer Michael Cook, Hair and Make up by the fabulous Mandi Levanah and two gorgeous models from Viviens. First half of the day is a black clothing story with sharp bursts of colour in jewellery and shoes. I made all the jewellery using semi-precious stones such as coral, turquoise, rosequartz and amazonite. Poor model, they are so incredibly heavy. This afternoon we are shooting vintage swimming caps that I have been collecting mainly in London for years. some sneaky snaps below.
