Grateful for....

Tea with a friend + ideas for making home more homey + a vintage fair isle golf sweater (quickly pinched by T) + a cool vintage bag with pseudo Chanel C's + only two sleeps til my parents are here + a strange Hannah-Montana-loving rainbow child with a thing for wigs and performing...

My bestest girls

I've been enjoying the adventures of these mini warriors recently.

I'm a Chris-Ofiliac

I just bought this poster. And the book from his mid-career retrospective at the Tate Modern. Anyone who used elephant dump in cool-ass art is okay in my book. And he lives in Trinidad. How sensible is that?

GiRlCrUsH - Natalie Hartley

She's a stylista and Senior Fashion Editor of the Times. She does a regular, "Natalie Hartley Wears . . ." in which she interprets and styles a current trend and does so in this messy-cool-fun way. So much better than the Jess Cartner-Morley or Lisa Armstrong stuff.
And her editorials are great and wearable, wantable stuff.

The Original Lady . . .Miss Kier

I was drinking and chatting with R last night about her new career as stylist. She's cutting her teeth right now but I reckon she's about to storm the fashion world here. She just closed her brilliant vintage shop Glam, to start this whole new career.
Her ideas are shiz and she embodies the fantasy-fun-eclectic-Cheap Date-Vivienne Westwoodish bonhomie that is totally lacking in the Danish fashion world.

So we were talking about the original, pre-GaGa Lady . . . the inimitable Lady Miss Kier.
God, I love her. The hair, the catsuits, the platforms . . .



This is pre-dee-lite - this woman can even rock a flat-top



This is what she looks like these days:

Specs on lovely faces

More on the geek chic. I love heavy plasticky bins these days. Have been thinking of wearing mine more often. But these inspiring chicks below have fabulous faces and skin. Not the same wearing specs if you have a zits and a pallid complexion.

Geek - the perfect antidote to rock and studs

Much as I have enjoyed the rock look, I've been drowning in a sea of studs, leather, black and sequins in the shops. Its all gone a bit highstreet. So recently, I have been craving a bit of librarian-ness in my life. And backpacks and rucksacks are suddenly right again.

Presenting my latest purchases. The spectacles are vintage 60's NHS from Dead Mens Spex
Great name, just says what it is.
