Sleeping Under The Stars

Sleeping in a tent for the first time tomorrow.  Here was a little of my inspiration for my weekend bag.

'Is anyone coming to this run-through except for me?'

Another day, watching another fashion classic - The September Issue

Candy Pratts Price, Editor-At-Large of Vogue.com "You belong to it, you belong to this church." 

Director "And is it fair to say that Anna is the High Priestess?" 

Candy Pratts Price "I would say...Pope."

'Florals? For spring? Ground breaking.'

Relaxing after a quick sushi dinner, watching an all time favourite.  Happy Monday.

Best scathing speech ever from Meryl Streep:

"This... 'stuff'? Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean. You're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff." 

And the Olympics suddenly touch me

Got shivers.  Brief but banging.  Fashion Forever.

The Ultimate Indulgence

Tried on and ummmed and ahhhed over these killers from Topshop...

...I even stopped myself from RUNNING to the tills with this new and perfect studded black clutch (bound to sell out)

All for the sheer joy of this:

Has ever a prettier sight been seen?  

Sure, I might have to forgo food shopping for about a month 

but we all make sacrifices for the things we love.  

My purchase is a guilty little secret.  Instead, let me titillate you with the 

newest Autumn Winter shots starring the beguiling Monica Cruz.

A the good old Classics, photographed so very beautifully:
