#IRL

Christopher kane top, monki trousers, comme des garcons rubber shoes

This is what I'm wearing RIGHT NOW. This is an exciting statement for me because I usually feel like this blog is constantly playing catch up with actual life. Feeling inspired by the Margaret Howell talk at the V&A last night, I took the plunge with these rubber shoes at the Dover Street Market sale this morning. They feel very practical, as if I could go for row in the sea at a minute's notice, but not too serious or polished. Perfect for english summer days (anyone else get caught out in the torrential rain a couple of hours ago?).

In the spirit of the R Kelly classic, I feel like it's time to breathe some new life into the blog. My mental reset is aiming for something like the original but better -  more actual content and branching into areas other than photobooth pictures of "what i wore a few days ago" (although obviously there will still be that - I can't let go completely). Expect, hopefully, some more thought and some real enthusiasm.

Talking of thinking and enthusiasm, here's a quick list of what I've been enjoying recently:

1. Michael Pollan's Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation
2. Aesop fabulous face oil
3. Danish hot dog weekend at the Scandinavian Kitchen

Now, can I get a toot toot?

Best things to pass my lips in New York:
- Momofuku pork buns & ramen complete with silky soft poached egg - Pies n Thighs fried chicken and seasame kale salad - Burger Joint burgers  - Luke's Lobster lobster roll - Parm hero sandwich - Russ & Daughters norwegian salmon bagel (wrapped up and taken to eat at the top of the empire state building!) - Ippudo yuzu salt grilled peppers and super super porky ramen - Clinton St Baking Company pancakes (so good i brought back the cookbook)
Mmm, i feel hungry now.

i was in new york city a couple of weeks ago and although the holiday was mainly focussed on STUFFING MY FACE (see above), i managed to squeeze in some shopping. hilariously, the purchases ended up being mostly non-US related (i had to stop myself from buying J W Anderson abroad because that would have been like dumb, right?). so i came away with some jazzy socks, an amazing 70s-ruffletastic charles anastase (massively discounted at OCNY) and a stripey comme top (because being in the great but crazy spaceship-esque comme des garcons store seemed like a good enough excuse).

variations on a theme

Equipment snakeskin shirt, christopher kane dress, jw anderson x topshop jacket, acne boots

One outfit, two poor quality cameras. I think the greatness of navy blue and snakeskin balances out my laziness.
