Life goes easy on me



Possibly the craziest most wonderful, baffling week I have had. So much stress and hard work and then 'poof!' here's the magic potion to solve all your troubles. I am in London. I have an internship and another one on the way. I am doing something cool every day. 

It was my 25th birthday when I got the call. All the more reason to buy the bottle of dark rum I had in my basket when they rang me. A busy, mindboggling weekend of being visited by an old, cherished friend, a birthday bash, packing, finishing dissertation and getting it printed and bound. First five days in my internship and now somehow it's Saturday and I am sitting here in this flat in East London.

Life is wonderful and scary and huge and easy and hard. I like to think good things happen to good people.

Goodbye Bournemouth.

Mouthful of diamonds

This is the kind of stuff I like to wear when I'm not going anywhere special: just running some errands and picking up groceries. Comfort is my number one priority on days like these. Slouchy boyfriend jeans with a cotton knit, and bare feet! Not to worry, I will be wearing shoes when I leave the house. However, I would probably walk around without shoes on everywhere if I could and were it not a bit hazardous. Nothing beats walking barefoot on hot pavement in the summer.

We all look for one thing

I have been having a superbly productive day! I woke up on my own accord just before 8, without the alarm going off (I have been known to sleep til noon on occasion). The sun has the strangest, most exhilarating effect on  me. I've been writing up applications, updating my portfolio, jamming to some 'Sexual Healing' and enthusiastically fixing up some lovely vintage treasures that have been calling my name for weeks now. Just a few stitches and the bust of my gorgeous Cinderella dress now fits like a glove.

Spring inspiration

So it was snowing earlier. I am still wearing my shin-length wool coat to shield myself from the freezing blusters of wind from the sea. Thank god I can escape to the land of Free People. Their summers never begin or end, they just are. There are only meadows of flowers or sandy beaches. All the girls have windswept hair, rosy pouty lips and dresses like seafoam, petals and linen. And nobody wears a bra. Heaven.
