GRAPHIC WEAVE

Topshop Boutique's 'Graphic Weave' print looks a lot like the sofas in the Earl of Lonsdale pub.... just saying.

ROAD TRIP

I couldn't be more excited about the road trip I am going on this summer with my friend Lizzie and her family. We will be going through Nevada and visiting Las Vegas so I bought these heels in preparation.  I can't wait to wear them with tanned pins, a white dress and a fistful of dollar bills. 

Hockney's photomontages (Pearblossom Highway, 1986 below) and his recent paintings of Yosemite have inspired me to splash some cash on a disposable camera and make my own photomontage of the canyons. 

...Watch this space.

Fingers crossed the Morrissey tattoo on my foot won't distract from my Americana vibes - I'm hoping more prairie-girl-in-the-big-city than white trash.

PLAYING DRESS UP

This morning started very dramatically - screams, shouts, an intruder, a smashed lock, the feds (sorry) and some inky fingers. After a few coffees and various posited theories about why a man would break down a door run up to Susan's room and attempt to light a cigarette (more on the incident another time), the most natural thing seemed to be to go upstairs and try on some clothes...

 It is a lot of fun living with an old friend when you both like clothes (double wardrobe etc). I particularly enjoy dressing Josie because she is a different shape, providing me with the opportunity to put together outfits I love but probably shouldn't wear.

Of the two outfits we both preferred the second, coming to the conclusion that the first was not particularly natural if that makes sense.

Second hand white silk shirt, Office platforms and Josie's Topshop jeans throughout.

First outfit - Mesh tshirt with beaded crosses, asos

Second - Josie's cropped lurex grip jumper Topshop

AMAZING GREEN COAT second hand, soon to be available from One Off , Josie's new styling venture.
