J'adore

I wish my life looked like an Andrew Woffinden picture. I think learning French will totally make this happen. I'm going to get on it. Oh, and obviously more gym. Brilliant. I'll combine the two.

Things that made me happy this week:

• London - my spiritual home. Literally everyone I love is there.
• New Mimi Holliday knickers. Gorge.
• Watching films with boys, even if they make you watch Rocky.

Willy Mason

Last night I had the pleasure of listening to the incredibly talented Willy Mason in the beautiful St Giles Church. It was a truly mesmerising experience. I love Willy's music and to hear it in such an intimate surrounding with fantastic acoustics was a real treat. It was a casual affair with his friends and family thrown into the mix and felt slightly like you were peeking in on some sort of private after dinner entertainment.

In other news I have been mainly obsessing over Twitter and the gym. Two thoroughly healthy obsessions in my opinion.

London bound again tomorrow to meet up with some of the girlies. Can't wait. Just need to decide between Hummingbird or Primrose bakery cupcakes?! Leaning towards Hummingbird if only to see if my homemade interpretation of the Red Velvet cupcakes are anything like the originals!

I heart The XX

This makes me so happy, it's on continuous repeat! Enjoy

Green Yellow Blue

Have been super busy the last couple of weeks or so. I have taken to distracting myself with photography, so I took myself off to the woods to capture the transformation into autumn.

Oh yeah, and THIS...

Does cake get ANY better??!

I can see the sea

This was my day people, I know, it was tough. Hung out at the beach enjoying the wonderful feeling of sand between my toes and the seemingly never ending reaches of the sea. My local beach is a little know place called Camber Sands. I kid, I kid, Camber is of course a famous fashion landmark for being the place where Corrine Day photographed THAT iconic editorial of Kate Moss. I love it when it looks like this and there is barely anyone about, I mainly don't bother even leaving my town if it's hot on a weekend as I know I'll be stuck in Camber traffic for hours! Talk about fair-weather friends.

A little reading to catch up on, including i:D, POP, and Vogue, which I cannot believe I have had for a week and only just got around to opening! There is a fantastic article about British fashion designers to celebrate 25 years of LFW with some beautiful portraits to accompany it so if you can get a hold of a copy I suggest you have a read. I have started to feel guilty about how many magazines I buy and only briefly flick through...

I also watched the amazing documentary by Jon Ronson, who I LOVE, on Stanley Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick's Boxes, a remarkable insight. Friends have commented before about my slight tendencies towards OCD and organisation but Kubrick took it to extraordinary lengths. Watch.

Pretty pastles

Just catching up on NY Fashion Week over on Style.com and there are some beyond pretty pastles coming down the runways, swoon...
