So versatile ....

Dogs>Cats

Apart from FANTASTIC CATS that is.

Takako Minekawa. This is pretty much all I'm listening to at the moment.

Kanye being Kanye

I don't think this was much of a stretch for him. Fans have whinged though and his site's just taken it down. Spike Jonze directs. Sublime....

Wisdom teeth

Misnomer if ever the was one.

Shop-PING

Those who know me will atest to the fact that I do love a list or two. So in the spirit of consistency here is my WANTED list for this season. Woolies a-go-go....

1. Cable knit cricket sweater
2. Lifestyle Bazaar tea set (complete with cake stand)
3. A beret
4. Patent Chelsea boot DM's boots (low rent)/Mulberry boots (no rent)
5. Benetton leather patch Jodphurs
6. Lacroix leggings
7. Clear perspex rimmed glasses
8. Cashmere pyjamas
9. A harem pant that gives me an arse to speak of
10. A chainmail waistcoat - I'm not even kidding
11. A Wang bag wouldn't go amiss either but I fear this list has already got out of hand...
12. ....oh! And a Blanmange rabbit mould. There.

Listening to

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

and



the hornblower brothers

I fell in love with a store...

I work at the end of Carnaby Street and sometimes forget I'm 2 minutes walk away from some of the best independent stores London has to offer. I mostly avoid mooching around the area as I will undoubtedly spend $$$ I dont have. But I did venture out this week with my trusty Chunky Panda (inventor of Kazoo-step...you wait...) and stumbled upon a peach of a store in the Newburgh Quarter.

LIFESTYLE BAZAAR.

Go check.

I want the entire Blau Blume tea set pleases.

(I hope the boy don't read this as a number of his presents are sourced here...)

♥ Christopher Decarnin ♥

so Paris saw the return of Balmain and the question on everyone's lips (I'm guessing) is HOW THE BEJESUS IS DECARNIN GOING TO CREATE A COLLECTION THAT EVEN EQUALS THE SUCCESS AND MAINSTREAM OSMOSIS OF S/S 09??

I obviously can't answer that but I did enjoy the show. A trend across many of this season's collections has been the military influence, coupled with burnished embellishments - lending from armour and hardware. The eponymous shoulders are back too with frayed dresses in texturised/studded rubber. Quite a dark collection for Summer season in terms of palette but I think its undoubtedly strong and has plenty to offer the high street diffusions. I can't help thinking SNAKES & SCALES are an influence too?

Here be my favourite pieces...
