Dot

This is my grandma. She turns 97 next week. She’s a pretty special lady. So it turns out I leave on Thursday instead of Friday. Which means tomorrow is my last day at work for two and a half weeks and the next time I write here I’ll be in LA with someone I’ve come [...]

distance

It’s just gone midnight here in London and I’m pretty sure it’s raining. This doesn’t have much to do with anything but bear with my while I set the mood. It’s my friend Caro’s birthday today. I’m positive she doesn’t read this blog but that’s ok. At least you know I’m thinking about how terrific [...]

Winter layering

With winter just around the corner I’m starting to think about how the hell I’m going to dress myself. I’m really bad at stylish layering so I always end up freezing cold or looking chunky. This year I thought: ENOUGH! It can’t be that hard. New Yorkers and Londoners pull this off without a hitch [...]

Luella love

I was lured into a shop in Primrose Hill yesterday by the cutest ever green knit jumper. It was all ruffles and bows and prettyness. Of course, it was Luella and thus, out of my price range by hundreds of pounds. But it was magical and I’m still thinking about it. It’s much more appropriate [...]

Weekend

I am finally starting to feel better so this weekend I actually have plans: for the natural history museum, the best breakfast in town, for bead shopping and swimming and polaroids. I love this city! [photos via the Unicorn Diaries]

red hair & freckles

When I see pictures of girls with red hair and freckles, I’m always like, “MAN, I wish I looked like that.” But just then – and bear with me, this is actually the stupid way my brain works – I realised that I actually do. [illustration by kelly thompson]

Valentino

Sorry to go all Valentino on your asses again, but I’m still utterly enamoured. The lace, the sparkles, the draping and rouching. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt love like this before. [via Birdy & Me]

Chanel

There is a song by a band called The Dodos called Small Deaths that I’m quite fond of. I think possibly because I have embraced the idea of seeing something so extraordinary that it destroys you (see here), of there being things so beautiful that they kill a little part of you. But not proper [...]

Emma’s Designblogg

I’m couch-ridden and bored out of my brain. I didn’t think it was possible to work yourself sick but I’ve done it and it sucks. At least it’s giving me the chance to catch up on some of my favourite blogs that I’ve neglected over the last few weeks. Emma’s Designblogg is one of them. [...]

Hemingway’s house

A Hemingway always takes time for me to read. Not because I don’t enjoy them. Quite the contrary, in fact. It’s just that some of his sentences are so handsome, so earth shatteringly exceptional that I have to stop reading, close the book and take a few deep breaths before I can continue. There was [...]

The Singular

The Singular is the singular best polaroid fashion blog out there. (See what I did there? That is the result of too many cold and flu tablets and total, utter mental and physical exhaustion.) [via Oh?]
