For once not looking so smug despite her great outfit.

GLOBAL SPORTS
has loads of great intentional designer rip offs too if you liked the CHANNEL post in August.
Shepherd's Bush market again and they sell suede vans.

CHATTERTON
The Death of Chatterton by Henry Wallis is one of my favourite paintings, mostly because when I first saw it at about fourteen and read that the subject was a seventeen year old poet so poverty-stricken he tore up all literature to hand and swallowed arsenic I thought it was a perfect representation of a tortured artist. People reclining in front of windows always remind me of it.
SWINGERS. CALIFORNIA
Have watched Swingers (too great) and American Gigolo (dodgy storyline) for the first time recently and they make Vince Vaughan and California look amazing, such good cars and hair.
Also 'money' as huge compliment definitely needs to make a comeback.

YOUNGER(E)
Richard Gere being sassy on the cover of WET magazine. Quite loved all the colours the mini ecorche statuette he's holding. But Gourmet Bathing?
Monday
BASKET SHOES
Went to Berlin recently and there were so many great pairs of shoes, they were all size 37 for some reason which was frustrating. Off the foot small shoes look odd, and make me think of bound feet which are weird, as is the tendency among fat women to be pleased by and proud of their (comparatively) small feet.

IT'S IT'S IT'S SOBRANIE
Best trip to the newsagent ever - PASTEL cigarettes and BONBONS.
Sunday
AUTUMN
When did fashion become so boring. Apparently we should be wearing camel, which is essentially beige and everyone knows beige is as boring as people who wear midlength skirts. Nor am I going to spend £500 pounds (boring) on an looking like a (fat) extra from Top Gun and I haven't seen Mad Men.

MORE BEACH
This beach is incredible, after a storm so much gets washed up - nothing you'd really want but great gnarled pieces of wood, tangled rope and endless faded plastic jerry cans. In several places instead of sand there is just pale green clay.
SACRE BLEU!
Sacred heart steak anyone?
Having had a straight down the line Church of England upbringing the drama of Catholicism is novel - relics, transubstantiation, purgatory, bloody nails and flaming hearts are infinitely more interesting than a metaphorical bible and tolerant priests.

CHANNEL
In keeping with the ripped off designer theme, these (old) offerings from Better off Dead make me less fussed about the real deal.
MORE
black and rose gold. More Shepherd's Bush.
When my friend Josie and I were fourteen would buy endless amounts of tat, (jewellery?) from Shepherd's Bush Market. It seems old habits die hard, the market has an incredible selection of "designer" watches. So pleased with this new rose gold wrist crusher
(less pleased that I have no phone or camera having lost both chargers)

SHED
Have just moved into my parents shed for the summer and its just as well I'm fond of spiders. By shed I am not coyly talking about a summerhouse with brick walls and electricity but a literal shed with four walls that is arguably better suited to storing oars and spades than twenty one year olds. However, the walls are painted, the lilo is blown up and I'm almost excited.
