fantastic






how great is that sartorialist fella?


christ - looks at these kids
i have never seen such a terrified/miserable looking bunch of children
(click on the photo to see their petrified little faces)
i have a big smile on my face because i am standing next to my first girl crush - miss swan
(third from left - top row)

she was lovely, and kind and had a great name
but then she got married and ended up mrs somethingboring






i was looking for some mad men - ish photos when i was home
it's my parents era
but i suppose it wasn't madison avenue
just pogmoor

this was the nearest i got
top photo - mum and dad
middle - nigel and my uncle
bottom - mum and randoms

our queenie




the press is really out of control these days
don't you think?
this is too much

top photo - a visit to the north of england
bottom photo - doing something i thought our queenie never did



been waiting and when i looked today they were there
he does not post enough








i have been wanting to post some spring show stuff
but it's been slim pickings
so i have just opted for pretty
i need a bit of pretty - we all do

i am sick of the black sheaths and the black enormous stilletto space booties
enough!

i am really sick of the summer
i have a fuzzy gilet in the cupboard feeling neglected 
and several sweaters

not to mention the boots
can it please be over now? 
so we can drink hot cups of tea and be wrapped in a blanket?

thanks mother nature

from the seventies

jeff divine and hugh holland

i am not a skateboarding fan to be honest
partly because i am bitter that i have no balance and have more than once almost killed myself on one
i should get over it, because it is a cool thing for kids to do
i just have a problem with the 45 year old fellas doing it
i have to fight the urge to shout 'grow up!'

but then...who cares?
better than getting fat on the couch with his hand down the front of his pants

more garance...





charles anastase






garance is doing some lovely moody photos these days


if she tried to take my photo i would also give her the two finger salute

lovely shop

i am loving all this anti modern re used hand crafted stuff
down to the chocolate maker, the shoe maker and the tailors
i know its a fad, but i like it anyway
i am sure thats not a surprise to anyone that knows me
but there you are




on my trip to williamsburg
i ate lunch here with hannah - delicious
and then dinner at the next door restaurant with jacky and alli
i liked being there
its near the water though, and you know what that means
