Cutting the mustard

Mustardy yellow is such a scrumptious colour. Renting a flat means not being able to paint, and all I want is to have a mustardy wall in this whitewash of rooms. I bought a mustard scarf instead! Here are some other items that definitely cut the mustard.

A design sponge makeover

What a spooky face, but a very nice hat. I like the copper bow too.

oooooooooooooooooh!

J.Crew have announced today that they will ship to the UK! I'm more than a little tempted by this jacket

Cable knit mustard socks are making me wish for a fire and some cosy pyjamas

Nice buttons, good fabric, great dress

Autumn fashion wish list

London is getting chilly! I was worrying about getting too hot and sweaty down here, but I needn't have feared! I am going to have to sweep the patio tonight as the leaves have started to collect at the door.
I do think autumn is beautiful, but I'm not ready to give up on summer just yet...I'm off to swim in a lido this evening to prove to myself that it's not THAT cold!
If it's as goosebumply as the north sea, I shall have these snuggly autumn fashion choices to fantasise about instead:

3. Peacock coloured quartz necklace by etsy
4. 70s style fit and flare coat by ASOS
5. Dresden Coat by Toast


Actually, come on autumn. I like you!

Twin Peaks!

Since moving to London I've found out that a few friends haven't seen Twin Peaks (shock. horror.)

Tonight this will be rectified by a night of Twin Peaks and popcorn, and maybe some tweed skirts.
I have so many favourite wee moments and sayings that I know I'll be reciting for weeks, again!
I also totally love everything about Audrey which means I'll be looking for saddle shoes and wearing red lipstick:

What do you love most about Twin Peaks?

A pre-blonde Marilyn Monroe

Wow! I'd never seen her be anything but blonde, I think she looks amazing. I'm still sometimes tempted to bleach my hair, but I get too scared as I've been a brunette all my life. This photo makes me happy to be a scaredy cat!

Kakao by K

Karina, the Scandinavian wonder that brought Kakao by K to Edinburgh, has some beautiful things in store just now. I've moved to London now but if I was still up north I would be going and grabbing myself this amazing dress:

For work, for parties, to dress up to dress down. It makes me want to be partying in Paris in the 60s with smokey eye makeup and patent shoes.
