Gainsbourg


Must.See.This.

So sad about Lucy Gordon, who plays Jane Birkin...apparently she is fantastic.

Elysium

Andrew Davie is really rather brilliant. I was lucky enough to watch him perform a live acoustic set at a recent work event - Home House Live, hosted by Raymond Weil (excuse the shameless plug). I love my job! He has such a pure, effortless voice.

Changing Rooms

I move out on Saturday to a beautiful Georgian house in East london, exciting times ahead. I have been framing pictures and making pilgrimages to Ikea lately in preparation and considered buying the above from Urban Outfitters...I decided not to for fear it is too cheesy? I bought this little fella instead as a house warming gift to myself:


...trying to think of a good name for him, any ideas? We already have a fish in our garden pond called Edmund ...

I want, I need, I must have...


Some Smythson by Holly Fulton, to match...

...either that coat or the cape, or both?! I'm thinking the coat...either way, I am in love with Topshop's new A/W10 shots and cannot rest until I get some of their CAMEL...also perhaps the peachy shirt...perhaps.

Dearest Abandoned Blog...

I am so sorry to have neglected you, here's what I have been doing during my absence...


Admiring Woolfgang Tillmans' raw pictures blue tacked and cellotaped to the walls of The Serpentine.

Watching filmic dance at the Electric Hotel

Looking at Walker Evans' hidden camera shots and Women in Thought by Harry Callahan amongst others (that I will write about when I am less weary) at the Exposed exhibition at Tate Modern.

Celeb spotting and waiter stalking (flowery hats!) at the Acne Store Opening

Creeping around The Surreal House at The Barbican and the concrete blocks surrounding it... again, more on this when I have the time, particualrly enjoyed the surrealist films and Francesca Woodman's photography.
