Madonna takes time out

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

…filming Shanghai Surprise.

This is all I want to look like right now. And I guess with these pics doing the rounds Madonna wouldn’t mind it either. Ouch. No fair.

I am looking for an oversized and chunky navy cotton knit sweater like crazy but to no avail. I also missed on some 80s Cutler and Gross frames on ebay… feels like the gods are conspiring agin it.

Girls in brogues and socks…

… and panties.

Adriana Lima in Elle Magazine via knight cat.

I just scored a pair of correspondent brogued loafers, with a fringey thing at the front. I need some help from Mr G to expand my shoe vocabulary. They look a little like golf shoes.  I want ankle socks with which to wear them, to be paired with cut-off denims in the summer. Not long now. I had my first walk in a t-shirt last week….

First Alexa Chung with Karen Walker shades on Garance Dore and now a simple blazer and jeans at Jak and Jil.

Fashion fix satisfied.

Grevi at Liberty

Summer just can’t come soon enough. Tomorrow I plan to visit the relaunched Liberty and try on a hat.

New silhouette

I’m loving this silhouette right now. It feels spring-like and fresh.

From Coton.

From Dropsnap.

Ralli Quilts

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

I resurrected an old Ralli Quilt from near death recently, thanks to advice from an expert. Thanks Rayela!

I love them and if I ever get to India or Pakistan my case will be full. I’ve always liked the backs better than the fronts.

Perfect imperfection. Another book for the most wanted list.

Sart again

Woke up this morning to how I’d like to dress today: colour, stripes, sunlight, heels, sporran.

And the denim and battered leather I’ll end up in. Always the man outfit…
