I recently received an email from a very sweet girl, asking me for my advice on choosing a career, & working out what you want to do with your life. She said, “I just ended my four-month contract with a company that paid well and had good prospects just because it really bored me to […]
There are no two ways about it, sometimes relationships are tough. Sometimes, even those of us in the most blissful domestic situations view the single life with a mixture of envy & wistfulness. Sometimes, you just want to be alone, or start new, or even commit bloody murder. If, however, you’re actually reasonably happy with […]
“I’ve read a bunch of advice you gave and was wondering if you could apply your great wisdom to my case too. I love fashion and style, and I wish I could muster the courage to wear some really cool attention grabbing outfit… I am in tenth grade and wear a long (floor length) denim […]
DELIGHT Sequinned anything! Ebay is sequin mecca — miniskirts & cocktail dresses abound! You can dress it down to avoid looking like someone off the cast of Dynasty, with a vintage t-shirt, leggings or a big cardigan. Homemade, impromptu sandwiches. Last night I toasted some Turkish bread, thinking I would dip it into my soup, […]
“Apparently a recent survey was done where they found that a decline in people’s social values was strongly linked to a decline in the number of picnics they went on!

I thought he was mental, but was like, oh, whatever, it’s his prerogative, he can do what he likes. He kept raving about it, though, & trying to […]
I just watched this documentary called ‘Thin’ which was, predictably enough, all about eating disorders. It followed the progress of four women at a treatment facility called Renfrew in Florida — Brittany, Shelley, Polly & Alisa. The movie ends with an update on all the women. One of them loses 40 pounds & tries to […]
A while ago, I wrote Living A More Celebratory Life, with ideas of things to do to make your life more exciting. Here are some more days to celebrate! May 14th: Sofia Coppola‘s birthday Why? A visionary director, Sofia’s movies (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation & Marie Antoinette) are slow, beautiful & evocative. How? […]
This time next week, I’ll be in Sydney! (I’m so excited.) I wanted to invite those of you who live there (or on the outskirts, or who feel like a nice long Sunday drive!) to the Sydney fashion blogger high tea! I was invited as the “guest of honour” (ooh la la), & I’d love […]
