COSMIC RESONANCE

IN THE BLACK INCANTATIONS, WE HEAR LIGHT AND SEE MUSIC

I want to buy a record player and dance about to the tunes in these shoes:

BE STILL MY HEART

Ugh, its love, it's LOVE. The Jofama Kenza Bag.

GO, TELL MY STORY

This song from Amy Winehouse has been haunting me.

WE'VE GOT GINA!

Replace the word "Annie" in this song and you'll understand how I'm feeling now that Gina Tricot has established a presence in the UK. I've also listed some of my favourite pieces from their online shop below. (PS: This isn't a sponsored post, I actually am this excited)

SPEAK, POET

{Trailer for Black Sunday , a really haunting play I saw recently by breakout theatre company Aequitas at Camden Fringe}

TOUGH LOVE

My fave songs from Annie (1982). So cute! So spunky! I also love 30s fashion, even if some people consider that statement an oxymoron.

ZERO SECONDS TO MARS

{NASA Celebrates the Mars Rover Landing}

LET'S GET PHYSICAL

If I had pastel hair like everyone else right now...

THERE OUGHTTA BE A LAW

{Amazing studded Chloe-"inspired" boot dupes from Office.}

AS I LIVE AND BREATHE

IN MEMORY OF THE LATE MR. AND MRS. COMFORT

 

Probably one of my favourite editorials of all time, "In memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort". 26 pages of Nadja Auermann shot by Richard Avedon for The New Yorker in 1995.  

Charlie Rose interviews Avedon about his return to editorial photography here ... he can explain it better than I can.
