Alexa’s line for Madewell is on its way. Are you guys excited? I’d never before thought about velvet shorts but now I’m struggling to think of anything else.
We went to the Museum of Hunting and Nature where they have owls SPLAYED across the ceiling and talking warthogs and trophy and gun rooms. And we visited Chanel and Colette and saw pretty ladies and swooned over handsome men, dead ringers for Brad Pitt. We went to Rock en Seine and saw Arcade Fire and Beirut and Eels and Wave Machine and Roxy Music. And as we left the heavens opened and we got stranded, soaking wet in suburban Paris.
Someone on my street is practicing the ukulele and it’s making me wish I was in these photos by Jennilee Marigomen. But then if I was in these photos I wouldn’t be able to hear someone on my street practicing the ukulele.
Sometimes you have to work out what you want most out of all the things you want.
Have you guys planned your wardrobes for autumn? I love these looks from APC but they’ll only get you to the end of August in the UK. It’s almost too cold for bare legs now.
I am sitting in Cafe Oto thinking about Yves Klein and Henry Darger and wondering how it’s possible that I have met some of the people I have met. I am drinking ginger beer and eating a toasted English muffin with rhubarb jam and I am warm and my arms ache from swimming. There are voices drifting in from the Pentecostal church next door, straining, praising.
It is impossible for us to know how else this could’ve turned out.
I think my lungs collapsed when I saw this outfit: I gasped SO LOUD. Does anyone know where I can get something similar? Or THE SAME? And also maybe this girl’s midnight nonchalance…
My friends and I send each other whoops texts and emails. A whoops text or email normally refers to an unexpected overspend. Last night it was Vanessa at Zara. Normally it’s Polly online Topshop. Or asos. Or American Apparel. Today, it’s me and The Vamoose. WHOOPS!
These photos are by Jacinta whose blog I visited last week. Enamoured by her photos, I sent her some fan mail which is not something I do very often. She wrote back and we soon realised we have a good friend in common. In fact, said friend had even mentioned me to her. We have taken this as a SIGN that we are meant to be friends.
I didn’t mean to take a week off from the blog but sometimes it just happens. Sometimes things just happen and sometimes they don’t and sometimes the world is big, sometimes small.
That’s what this cryptic post was about: my first ever photoshoot for an eco luxury bag company that sells their wares in Liberty. It was amazingly fun and I can’t wait to show you the results.
