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.

OH ME OH MY

Oh me oh my, these high priestess baroque style gold capes at Dolce & Gabbana AW12 are something else. Perfect for charging round a city like Valletta (below) late at night on the way to a clandestine liason...

CRYSTAL JEWELLERY

Yesterdays jewellery.

Purple leather necklace from Zara, necklace of collected charms. Assorted (overexposed) gold rings. The blue crystal number is my latest addition from the Astrology shop on Neal Street, which is one of the funniest shops I've ever been to.Had there not been a woman in there already wittering on about her life chart I would have liked to have a chat with the staff who seemed very knowledgeable. I also visited Mysteries on Monmouth Street which had a fantastic back room (below). I plan to return and buy some candles very soon.

STREET STYLE

 Was cruising street style blog The Nyanzi Report and these images, titled 'The New York Art Dealer - Basil Street, Knightsbridge - London' really struck a chord. In my mind this is exactly how I expect art dealers (those not in the Saatchi/Jopling mould) to look - cigarette pants, statement jacket, flashes of gold and undertones of heiress. 

TATTS + RING

This man on the tube had great tatts and a great ring. He was also having a scintillating conversation with gingery (strawberry blonde) man holding his chin.
I really want to know who the person behind the initials is/was whose importance was deemed great enough to this diamond geezer to immortalise in a diamonte and gold ring.

NECKLACE

It's imperative now that I actually start buying these necklaces instead of just taking photos and getting pissed off when they're sold out two days later.


Loved this number from Dorothy Perkins, I thought it had something of Jasmine about it.
