Yara De Nicola’s photographs of fashion week in Milan and Paris for Self Service magazine.

Christian Comte animated stills of Nijinsky taken by Baron Adolph de Meyer. These beguiling short films give a glimpse his genius or are an insult to his memory and his insistence never to be captured on film - depending how you look at it. See more here.

Adolph de Meyer himself was a favorite of Diana Vreeland and Cecil Beaton and features heavily in the former’s wonderful book Allure, the first edition of which I was lucky enough to receive as a Christmas gift from Mr G.

Just loved Carré Otis in the 90s.

The last image, by Michael Roberts, is a personal favorite. I could look at her all day.

This is my favorite image from the Johnson’s exhibition at Chelsea Space curated by Mr G.

I like the idea that the clothes at Johnson’s had a strong costume element to them, that Lloyd was interested in revisiting the youth cults of the post-war period - mods, rockers, beatniks - and making their looks contemporary. Unlike Ralph Lauren, another retailer with a line in myth-making, It’s all very exuberant and tongue-in-cheek. It’s the perfect 80s pop scenario - a one-stop-shop for the one-hit-wonder requiring some enduring youth cult appeal and stage worthy flash.

I love this staff member with her big sleeve roll-up, quiff and bola tie. I’m off to go learn me a buckaroo knot.

Nicked from FuckYeahEarlyMadonna with respect.

It’s been a strange week in London and the girls from Warpaint have been accompanying me on my ipod on my daily walks. Their sound seems to suit the mood. Aussie drummer - a good thing.

As much as I love them I hope I’ll be back listening to something a little lighthearted soon…

The obsession grows, but not quite to £80. I am still stitching a back on to a needlepoint sampler I bought some time ago…so this one must pass.

Navajo needlepoint, green with a hint of red. I hope this finds a good home.

Built in planters… wood floors and kilims. Yes.

Is that a leather-covered stool of some sort? Both shots from Haw-lin.

More home cooking: baking, learn to make pasta, wintry soups - starting off with baking.
