Miscellany no. 2

I am tired, tired and sad because one of my few friends here leaves in two days and its R's 21st today, and I want to be with her not here, but I am also exciiiiiiiiiiiited because spring and K are coming (she moves to (almost) Paris in 2 and a half WEEKS!!) and inspired by a weekend of perfect weather and people watching. So in place of a pointless and dull slef-indulgent moan, I give you things which i love, and why I love them. I have other things to say but I can't be arsed to say them coherently, so you'll have to wait for my thoughts on the following topics (i know you can't wait) - vintage shopping, more on weight, Susie Orbach, and the depressing mediocrity of the general election.

I love bikes. I love girls on bikes. I love riding bikes pretending to myself that I in any way resemble this girl and her bike, when the truth is a) i can never ever wear pleats on my hips and b) try as I might, waisted sirt + high neck + boobs = weird truncating effect which knocks a good 3 inches off my already petite height, and c) My bike is not some elegant heavy-framed pashley style thing, its an eminently practical ugly road bike, which does not allow for good bike riding posture. (Copenhagen Bike blog thingy - google it, its great for pretty people on bikes)


I love Cyrstal Renn. I love this swimming costume. I love how she looks so happy and healthy and glowing. I love that I am beginning to feel like I could feel like this this summer in a bikini. (YAY Weightwatchers). (Jezebel somewhere)


You all know about my undying love and affection for Bridge. This make me want to grow my hair again. (Google)


Layering like this never ever works in real life. And no one but no one but NO ONE will ever look good in thigh-high socks, unless they are H or some other fortunate lanky thing with incredible legs. However, I love the flowers in the bag, the bag, the tweediness of the whole thing and the hat. (J Crew).
