This Week I Will Mostly Be...

...eating Rachel's Organic Greek Style Yoghurt with Coconut.

I'm currently getting through a good three or four pots of the creamy, coconuty, deliciousness a week, and to make matters worse, they've just brought out a Special Edition Ginger flavour...

Heaven in a 450ml tub.....I might need to seek some professional help...

J'adore Jil

For the first time in quite a while, something from the catwalks has caught my attention so completely that I can't tear my attention away from it.  It has captured my imagination, disturbed my dreams and left me breathless, wanting it so desperately that a bank loan is looking more and more like a possibility.  I feel almost un-hinged discussing it in such an obsessive manner.

So what it is giving me this almost embarrassingly girlish crush?  Jil Sander by Raf Simons Spring Summer 2011, that's what.

Simplistic beauty is the only phrase which fully describes, and gives due credit, to the collection.  An explosion of colour on a base of perfect symmetry; fashion forward yet still wearable; minimalistic with a contemporary charm...swoon!





Having always been fond of getting a little leg out at most opportunities (you gotta work with what you've been given, non?) I was taken aback with my wanton desire for the voluminous skirt and white tee combos. Turning the pages of the February issue of Harper's Bazaar I was all-consumed with pure lust for the delicious swathes of silk in a truly magnificent emerald.  I could just envisage the chic-er imaginary version of me swishing around town, over-sized sunglasses perched on nose, hair pulled into a chi-chi messy bun.  Granted, I never 'swish' anywhere, and grimy old London isn't always the best place for full-length silk, but who cares?  A girl can but dream.

Congratulations Raf Simons...you are a legend.

My First

With a dash of hesitation and a touch of nervous excitement, finally, here it is...my first post.

After four weeks of to-ing and fro-ing over subject matter and caring too much about other people's opinions, I've decided not to worry (lo and behold!  What a revelation!) and to put my everyday musings, loves and loathes and everything in between out there for all and sundry.  This little creative writing project of mine is likely not to attract one single follower, and if that is the case, well...so be it.  This is mine, something all for myself, to craft and create for my own pleasure and in my own time.

If you do, however, happen to stumble upon my humble little blog, then may I be the first to say thank you for reading...I hope you enjoy it.

Here goes...
