“Kaydee”, applauded my friend Lionel on our way home after a chaotic club crawl around London. We’d been ‘raving’, apparently. “You can really rock out!” Pleased with myself for managing to impress Lionel – an American cool cat who makes dimples look compulsory and, I imagine, entered my friendship group through a broken window – I used this […]
Bored of walking into charity shops that call themselves ‘vintage’ stores? Me too. Feel like with every purchase a percentage is put towards an entrance fee? Me too. Starting to wonder whether you really want to wear second hand pieces of clothing that invariably reek of hemp and rotting bodies, anyway? Me bloody too! Sustainable […]
For years I've craved a Filofax, but there now, finally, justifiable reasons for me to own one of these straight talking bad-boys. For a start, I’m an adult and that means if I’m to be taken seriously, I need a serious prop.
The UK is currently having a cool moment. Robbie’s rejoined Take That, Samantha Cameron’s given birth to a bouncing baby girl, Cheryl’s going to collapse in next week’s X Factor – that’s exciting – and it turns out the BBC aren’t going to make us wait ages till they show Mad Men series 4 after all […]
The world’s always rubbing its belly for 60’s relics especially when they’re Beatles related. And our next feast will be provided by director Richard Lester whose works include A Hard Day’s Night (1964) and Help! (1965). Yep, he was the guy behind two of the best films about a band the world has ever known. […]
‘… and as the tepid splats of tea landed on my neck, hands and groin – I realised I was wet – big time. I was sweating lust. Even my ankles perspired and, were it not for my socks, not slipping over would have been impossible.’ … Gaaaghhh, I can’t do it. No matter how […]
Calling all food obsessed friends! London Food Festival starts on October 4… [Yes I thought it’d just been too but that was Taste London] and I’ve just become a little bit hungry thinking about the launch of Street Kitchen, a New York style street van that’ll plonk itself in a busy place where busy people […]
I suspect there comes a point in every woman’s life when something which at first seemed so insignificant all of a sudden becomes, well, significant. Just when I thought I was down with the kids, and it pains me to use that phrase because I don’t really feel like I left the kids all that […]
Now I can think of a million and six Dior obsessed people who will go to this exhibition at the ever popular Somerset House. It’s a great place to escape to for a culture hit if you’re feeling a bit dopey. Christian Dior, the man who sent shockwaves through the fashion starved post second world […]
