On an idle Friday night in September.

Ok so last night was the accoustic set in Ground coffee shop for new band - Goodbye Pluto. I don't need to say anything more but WOW. I really wish them all the best because the talent they each posess is HUGE.
Must say I did feel awkward having a hot chocolate in my hand at a gig in replace of the usual vod. But when I came round to it, I loved it. I think its exactly what's been missing in town.

A few pictures of  what I'm loving today.
The dog simply because she is my gorgeous loyal love.
Autumn, a dear friend mentioned to me how Autumn is better than Spring because of the leaves. I don't fully agree as I love Spring. The newness of Spring and the re-invention of colour much missed through Winter oh  and the longer evenings. So I'm posting this picture of my garden in its Autumn state simply to show that Autumn can still be quite beautiful.
And the bedroom update - the working desk has been born. All equip with -  new Sony - Vaio notebook, noticeboard, lamp, ruby pen pot. Oh and the new ASOS mag, The September Issue dvd and The Satorialist book.
Aha, every girl needs some gorgeous things on her desk!!

Another thing I want to share today is a snitch from The Great Gatsby. I'm currently studying this work of genius in English Lit. "He smiled understandingly - much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of  eternal reassurance in it, that you come across four or five times in your life. It faced - or seemed to face - the whole entire world for an instant, then it concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favour. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as much as you believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best,you hoped to covey."
It made me think back and wonder when last I had been privileged to receive  one of those smiles....

Do You Think That I Do Not Know? by Henry Lawson

When the love-burst came, like an English Spring,
In days when our hair was brown,
And the hem of her skirt was a sacred thing
And her hair was an angel's crown.
The shock when another man touched her arm,
Where the dancers sat round in a row;
The hope and despair, and the false alarm
Do you think that I do not know?

By the arbour lights on the western farms,
You remember the question put,
While you held her warm in your quivering arms
And you trembled from head to foot.
The electric shock from her finger tips,
And the murmuring answer low,
The soft, shy yielding of warm red lips
Do you think that I do not know?

We all stand on the shoulders of someone!

Evening ALL.
Apologies for my lack of postage. Once again.
Second week into college and I have already been hit with Russia and the Tsar and The Great Gatsby. Its been hectic needless to say. And I have bid farewell to my social life of days gone by. To be honest I haven't really had much time to see what when on at London & NYC Fashion weeks. I intend to fully brief myself on Wednesday when I'm off.
I have read however and fully support that EBay has $80k in damages to pay to LVMH for allowing the sale of counterfeit goods sell from their site.
More things I have been loving ....

This t-shirt at Erin Wasson.
The structure, the fabric, the colour, the boots. EVERYTHING. I adore how simple and classically chic this look is from new designer Meadham Kirchhoff


And Rose Huntington Whiteley in the Louis V bunny ears look. I am mildly obsessed with this girl. She seriously can do no wrong at the minute.

This weekend sees an acoustic set on Friday night by Goodbye Pluto and a Friendly Fires DJ set on Saturday night. Yes I know quite the variance between the 2 nights. And I know I haven't really let go of my social life just yet.
But I will.
One day.
