Should they fall under...Accessories...something to carry in your handbag... Read More A working class hero is something to be... 05/11/2008, 09:35 PM Geek girl that I am, I'm always on the lookout for laptop bags that don't necessarily look like laptop bags (LBTDNLLLB for short)...the majority of laptop bags not exactly being a thing of beauty.Enter the limited editio... Read More Wish me luck! 05/04/2008, 04:00 PM Once, when I was a child, I visited a large country house that had peacocks roaming the grounds...possibly the owners found guard dogs to be boring. Left to my own devices I joined them in their roaming and appeared, jus... Read More “We adore chaos because we love to produce order.” 04/27/2008, 09:38 AM As I tend to veer (nine times out of ten) towards the messy and chaotic, I love items that introduce order and clarity into my life...even completely useless things like this bone china sugar cube storage tray.Do I reall... Read More The unkindest cut of all...or not? 04/27/2008, 09:34 AM According to conventional wisdom the one thing that you should not attempt...beauty-wise...is to cut your own hair. It's up there on the chart, next to the dark area of the map that say Beware of ye hippogriffs.Of course... Read More Raindrops keep falling on my head... 04/18/2008, 11:33 AM It could be due to the fact that I grew up in an area where it seemed to rain constantly...regardless of season...but I've always found there to be something remarkably soothing about sitting inside, watching the rain hi... Read More Off the cuff... 04/18/2008, 11:31 AM As I've admitted to not being the most environmentally conscious person on the planet (though I do turn off the lights when I leave a room and don't drive a car so I suppose I'm not entirely evil) I thought I'd write abo... Read More Say cheese! Or rather, say wine & cheese! 04/10/2008, 08:12 PM As a great many of us bloggers post pictures of our daily ensembles I thought there may be some interest in this Bottle Cap Tripod...perfect for picnics, wine & cheese parties, or anywhere else where you have bottles... Read More Arsenic and old lace 04/10/2008, 08:10 PM Depending on your point of view, Aurélie Bidermann's golden lace cuff is either...a) an homage to Queen Elizabeth I...because, if ever there was a woman who loved a lace ruff, it was Good Queen Bess.b) a golden tr... Read More Video killed the radio star... 04/10/2008, 08:08 PM As you all know, I'm on a slightly bizarre mission to document the plethora of non-fashion items that bear the name Karl Lagerfeld (which proves, if proof were needed, that I really need to get out more). My previous di... Read More Galosh (no, not the Russian anti-ballistic missile, the other one...) 04/10/2008, 08:07 PM Though I've done frequent posts on the subject of waterproof footwear...wellies, rubber shoes, and the like...this is my first ever post on the humble galosh. Which is probably due to the fact that I hadn't realized that... Read More As we gathered round the campfire... 04/06/2008, 10:36 PM Having never gone to summer camp as a child I probably have unrealistic notions about what goes on there...or, at least, a viewpoint that is based on watching one too many vintage films and television shows. So, in my mi... Read More Coo! 04/06/2008, 10:33 PM Even though they seem to be widely regarded as flying rats, I have a particular fondness for the humble pigeon...and I admit to gaining a freakish delight from feeding them...and having a few perched upon me while they d... Read More An apple a day keeps the doctor away 04/06/2008, 10:32 PM Part of me looks at Hermes' lambskin apple holder and thinks, wow, look at that incredible craftsmanship...then the rest of me wonders why that level of workmanship was used to create a container for an apple...Certainly... Read More Smells Like Teen Spirit...or Swim Class? 04/04/2008, 09:13 AM Sunday is my gunk day...the day when it makes most sense to use the various face masks, potions, and lotions that I seem to collect like a hyperactive squirrel going after nuts. And I will, I admit, take a free sample of... Read More Too cool for school? 04/03/2008, 08:44 AM People's High School memories tend to veer between two extremes...the golden period of the popular kid, the high point of their lives...to the thank God that's over, running for the gates, there has to be more to life th... Read More Stealth Wealth 03/01/2008, 04:56 PM I'm not one for great displays of romance...a bunch of flowers from Mr. Heb once prompted the question of whether he'd purloined them from a grave in the local cemetery (I know, not the most tactful question...but if you... Read More Camo...camo...camo...camo-chameleon 03/01/2008, 04:55 PM As I was browsing around Aloha Rag's website this limited edition John Galliano trucker cap caught my eye. Not, I hasten to add, because I am moving into trucker-chic (despite my post from a few days ago) but merely beca... Read More Strait-laced... 03/01/2008, 04:52 PM There is something seriously scary about Prada's cell phone case...probably the fact that you can snap the arms together to resemble a strait-jacket...or maybe it's the staring, sightless eyes...or the constantly smiling... Read More Step away from the glitter... 02/23/2008, 10:27 AM The seasonal blues...you know, the ones that attack when there are more hours of darkness in the day than light...appear to be taking their toll. At least I assume that's the explanation for my current fixation for shiny... Read More I can see clearly? 02/22/2008, 06:54 PM Though I tried to push it to the back of my mind as a TTITTI (Thing That I Try To Ignore) its fighting back...the it in question being...sheer hosiery. I blotted out the translucent leg coverings when I looked at images ...

Read More One pill makes you bigger...and one pill makes you small... 02/21/2008, 06:14 PM I think I've mentioned this before but I am the Imelda Marcos of sweaters. Something that I rationalize by the fact that I grew up in a dank and dreary corner of Scotland that necessitated the wearing of sweaters for app... Read More The (Un)touchables... 02/21/2008, 06:09 PM My first thought when I saw Hanii Y's short sleeved suede coat...well, okay, not my first thought. The initial jumbled thoughts hurtling through my brain were...oooh...gorgeous suede...and a Peter Pan collar...and double...
