I walked into Rite-Aid today & was horrified by the never-ending aisle of chocolates in tacky heart-shaped boxes, cheap teddybears & ugly tchotchkes. What could be less romantic than planning to be romantic?! Two years ago, I wrote one of my most popular articles ever: Very Definitely Not Dinner & A Movie: 50 Alternative First […]
Photo by Lisa Devlin. I read somewhere recently that thank you is the best prayer, so in a way, this is my weekly devotional. I actually started writing this on Saturday November 3rd, because I am thankful for so many things right now. I’m thankful for having the lights turned back on, for hot water, […]
Photo by Amanda Pratt. My favourite childhood book was definitely The Witches. I dreamed of one day growing up to be The Grand High Witch, & how I would spend my days thinking of ways to squelch children. I wanted to wear a wig & gloves, & be able to use my own spit for […]
Let’s take a moment together to focus on the positive. I have to admit that for the last few days, I’ve felt like I was walking around with a little dark storm cloud over my head. Sometimes it can be really difficult to shake yourself out of that place, that place where you wish you […]
Sofia Coppola. I kinda loved this article: I Went to the Pre-Oscar Celebrity Gifting Suites and All I Got Was This Sense of Disgust. Celebrity culture is so bizarre & gifting suites totally gross me out. Like I said on Twitter, celebrities are the last people who need free products. It’s like goodie bags at […]
Happy (Things I Love) Thursday! Oh GIRL/BOY… It’s been a long week, & I know you feel it too! (Can I blame the void Moon?!) My desk is COVERED with stuff — Alice In Wonderland bodysuits, glitter skulls, Playboy magazines from 1968 — & I have approximately 3 million projects on the go. Madness! Even […]
Summer is my favourite time of year. There’s nothing better! For a couple of years, while I was flying back & forth between America & New Zealand, I lived in perpetual summer, & it was wonderful… One day, I hope to make that a permanent part of my lifestyle! I have a lot of goals […]
Biba was a London icon. Biba epitomised the swinging 60s & 70s in London. Before then, as founder Barbara Hulanicki said, “In England, we were thought to be the worst-dressed people in Europe”. Biba was a fashion label, a shop, a feeling & a mood. It perfectly encapsulated the mood of the time. It started […]
It’s almost 2011 (two-thousand-&-heaven)–& so it’s time to for me to have a little blog holiday! I’m going to take advantage of Mercury retrograde & tie up a bunch of loose ends. Hooray! In the meantime, why not catch up on the best of the blog? These are my favourite pieces I published this year–& […]
Photo by La Photographie Nashville. Holiday presents. Oh! The anguish! They can be hard to buy, can’t they? Especially in this day & age where we’re so addicted to the feeling of instant gratification that we just go out & get what we want for ourselves! Thankfully, I’ve compiled this little list of trinkets to […]
