Moi Je Joue - Brigitte Bardot

Off to Paris on Tuesday, and the closest to Chanel I'll be wearing is my lipstick/perfume combination.

Well.... I can dream of 2.55s right?

Looking at these images, can't you see bits of Degas? And not only because it's set in a dance hall, but because of the poses, and elegance. Then again, it is Kloss, so you'd kind of expect that. Vogue Deutsch has had some surprisingly good editorials as of late (OK, this is from December 08, but still).

That's one thing I wish I possessed, elegance and poise. Unfortunately over ten years of dance lessons never managed to train me correct posture, and I'm one of the clumsiest people I've ever met.

I bought my dress for the Charity Ball the other day.

It's cream and black lace and not see-through, which seems to be a bit of a novelty when it comes to Topshop as of late.

And it was in the sale, so I can't really complain too much.

Now, if only it were like this rather than a ladsladslads filled display of testosterone...

On a hillside desolate, tipsy charming men with nearly seven years of grammar schooling behind them comfortably channel an out of key Morrissey.

And Claxton, I wrote the above myself. It's the closest writing of mine you'll find to poetry.

yesterday

It snowed up North. It snowed a lot.

I went wearing my most sensible footwear and I still didn't feel dressed appropriately, but at least I wasn't wearing the shortest skirt there, I'm sure my Head of Year would be appalled.

Long socks and Alice in Wonderland. Inextricably linked.

The curiousity of youth is genuinely compelling, yet simultaneously aggrivating.

Imagination and incongruence are still two of my favourite words, and this must go somewhat towards explaining my love for Carroll's world, full of distorted reality.

And this is also why I love the Victoria & Albert. I don't visit it enough, in order for me to walk down the corridors which always change every time I'm there.
