CRYSTALS

Crystals are having a moment. I picked up my own in Soho a few months ago. Chanel heels next...

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.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

 I actively detest Christmas lists, but if I were to write one (more to the point if somebody were to read one I wrote) these Deena & Ozzy platforms would be right at the top...

platforms + suede + glitter = shoe heaven.

THE SHOES!

are incredible. The rest, not so much. (Old Chanel, photo Scott Schulman)

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.
