Since I’ve been studying a lot of royal families recently (The Sun King, mind you), and as a generally conservative Capricorn, I can’t help having a thing for Kate Middleton. Let’s face it – she’s incredibly beautiful and she’s probably the classiest cat to appear in the media recently. It’s always nice to have someone [...]
You know that moment when you’re a kid, and you realize your first movie hero? Or Heroine, as it were… This was definitely my movie. I wanted to be a rollerskating muse so bad as a kid. And strangely, I haven’t grown out of it; probably because as far as goofy fun goes, this is [...]
OH MY GOD. I found this via the Lovely Dolly Dahl and I CANNOT stop watching it. It’s 100 years of East London Style in 100 seconds… If you haven’t checked out Dolly’s blog yet, get over and do so! She’s adorable and amazing! Also, THIS cracks me up so much – Hot Feet!

This week’s links a la mode celebrates influencers and the voices we create from our inspiration. As fashion bloggers, we have each other to look for when we are feeling uninspired and this [...]
Right now I need nothing. Well, maybe a cup of coffee… and air. And water, and a nap? But as far as my pocketbook goes, I need nothing. I’d like to want less. No, scratch that – I do want less. I want less stuff to move. I want to spend less. I want to [...]
