SEE, I AM DOING A NEW THING!

I'm transitioning between two jobs and have a week off in between next week. Just the time to do all the things you put aside when you're workin' hard, right? So lots of errands and jobs around the house. I'm also going to work out loads (promise...), all three of which I WON'T bore you with. No selfies with my lunch either. Dignity.

The good news for Lola Re is I am also randomly quite busy OUTside my house - my dance card is full, y'all! Today marks the 1 week countdown to Diapsora Hair's first hair show - Curlvolution - on Saturday 24th May in Canary Wharf, and before that I've got the Chelsea Flower Show, an alumni event, a handful of lunches, an afternoon of vintage shopping and a brave attempt to kit out my balcony with plantlife.

This array of personal, social and business engagements says to ME that I should do a spring lookbook over the week including all my outfits. So maybe SOME selfies, but of my clothes not randomness. Here we go!

And just because I'm obsessed with the choreography of Marty Kudelka lately, here's clip of some incredibly inventive kid figuring out a way to shoot his choreography in the suburbs and still keep his street cred:

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.

CINEMATIC

{Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in The Bandwagon}

CWY

This blatantly had to make it onto my blog at some point...! Cab Calloway leading a big band while the Nicholas Brothers dance in Stormy Weather, starred in by Lena Horne. Absolutely, incredibly classic.


{The title, CWY is how you write "Cherokee" in the Cherokee language. Written Cherokee is "syllabary", which basically means that each character represents a syllable. So, "TSA-LA-GHEE" (the word "Cherokee" in Cherokee) has three syllables, so it only needs 3 letters - CWY. Sequoyah invented the written Cherokee language all by himself. Smart man. Here's what the whole alphabet looks like:
