In the Summertime

"Let's have a group hug for the beginning of Summer"


Today, although largely still hungover from the 4 day weekend Jesus gave me, and the first signs of a cold looming, I still mananged to, ID-less, totter over to the mash tun with a few friends, stolen aviators and a folk band loudly playing opposite the church, to divulge into some much needed Summer loving time. In April.

Yes, it's only the real beginning of Spring and if this lush weather continues then it's most likely it will piss it down at Glastonbury and Summer will be cut short in July. But today was merry and here's a few summer-esque pictures making me decide I'm going back blonde, getting out my high waisted denim shorts (in grey, dark denim and a light blue) and am going to start smoking roll ups again, as it's less likely my fingers will freeze trying to roll and the baccy will no longer only hit the skin before the gusts of winds - courtesy of Brighton - will blow it into abyss.
Happy days.

This is for Lovers

Running Away. Just for today.

Photographer Tony Kim decided to pay homage to the novel 'The Lover' written by Marguerita Duras in a photoshoot for Italian Glamour magazine.
Off he flew to Marrakech for the shoot, in order to reconstruct the autobiographical tale of the young Marguerita  in 1930s France and her mysterious passion filled relationship built up with a sophisticated Vietnamese fella.

All sounds a bit deep.



"You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable." - Marguerita Duras


"Suddenly, all at once, she knows, knows that he doesn't understand her, that he never will, that he lacks the power to understand such perverseness. And that he can never move fast enough to catch her."

One of a Kind

In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.  
Couture is notoriously...........
FILL IN THE BLANKS

This can be followed by a string of words:::::::::
- Expensive
- Rare
- Exclusive
- One off (duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh)
- Beautiful
- Well made

etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

Here are a few SS10 Couture images that are wearable. SHOCK.

So many people believe couture is all about the dresses. The hand stitched, made to measure beautiful dresses. Well, no. Here are some couture alternatives that took to the catwalk this season.

That look like ready-to-wear if it were the sharpest knife in the draw. The brightest lamp on the street. The highest heel on the shelf. The finest cut from the cow. The cream of the fucking crop.

I think that's what you call point.in.case.
