Cheers, big ears

Sometimes, its the smallest things that make me smile the most. Ive never been an animal print fan but I couldnt resist this faceless little Urban Outfitters make-up bag (dying tulips: stylists own).

"St Petersburg travel tips"

I always wondered why Russian novels seem to go round in circles, tied up with their own doomy red tape. I felt a bit doomy myself last Sunday when we returned from St Petersburg but, the more I tell...

"St. Petersburg travel tips"

Ive been using that phrase in search engines on and off for weeks, in every incarnation. My list of museums is long, but my list of cafes, bars and shops is short. At least, for once, Im not inundate...

We broke free

Ive been hiding for a month. But Ive also... Been to Yayoi Kusamas bizarre, brilliant show at the Tate Modern. It keeps selling out, but worth a trip to see an artist who can move from delicate, surr...

Anything Goes

After falling for silent film (and award magnet) The Artist, I realised Id bought but not read a biography of the Twenties last year. Lucy Moores 2008 Anything Goes opens with a line thats far longer...

On insomnia

Ive always liked dreams, whether its Dalis proper lush sequence in Spellbound or someone droning all over Twitter about wearing a squirrel outfit in their head last night. Hate em? Youre probably zzz...

Invincible Summer

Matthew Kaven Brooks knows what Im thinking. Found via the marvellous Sandra Beijer.

Hobbs NW3

Some London postcodes say a lot. Like WC1 (jazz hands pubs, bad noodles), E8 (too many flat whites, ludicrous hair) or N22 (motorised scooters stopping in front of buses to shout at the driver, resig...

Hastings: Seaside Secondhand & Dishermen

I love the English seaside, especially out of season. No idea why, but I like overcast pebble beaches, eating candy floss on benches, deserted crazy golf and gaming arcades. So a surprise pre-birthda...

Only Shallow

You know those days when youre throwing your hands at the keyboard as fast as you can for twelve hours straight, pausing only to throw your hands at the keyboard and CONSUME? Last Friday was one of t...

Three-book break

This Christmas, I mostly read and, for once, they were all corkers. Wise Children Another Xmas holiday side project was working on a V&A book about Hollywoods Golden Age so I found this Angela Ca...

Revert to type

I was going to write one of those end of year round-up blogs, like I did last year, but, what with everything else thats happened in the world in 2011, my stuff seems like hubristic small fry. Yes, e...

Curtis Brown Creative course

2011 was a crazy up and down kind of year for me, but one of the undoubted highlights was doing the Curtis Brown creative course. Run by mega-agency Curtis Brown, whose clients range from David One ...

Free Crappy Portraits

I just got the best Christmas present - a picture of me, done by Free Crappy Portraits! And, yes, theres nothing like seeing a list of your likes (rendered beautifully as a desk full of Jason Schwart...

Feliz Navidad

Every year, my housemates brother Juan makes a Christmas video with his friends. Last years video was a fluffy take on Telephone. This year, its Katy Perry getting politicised. So fun; hope you like ...

November/December

As usual, Im sliding towards the end of the year at breakneck-speed and no time to blog, so here are a few things Ive been up recently. There was me thinking Id been a total hermit... In the spirit o...

Cruella de Vil does disco

My two loves of the week - one, a ridiculous new Cruella de Vil does disco top from Jaeger Boutique. Secondly, last night my friend and I were allegedly DJing but actually talking about Gwen Stefani....

Beauty & Essex

Ive only gone and got myself a new job working on Google Places for my beloved old London. Last week, I went over to New York to meet my new team and, as youd expect from types who make their living ...

Stuff Ive Done

As a bumbling Brit, self-promotion doesnt always come easy, although even having a blog is obviously an indication that Im vainer and more of a show off than many of my countrymen. So, yknow, here ar...

Hanna Melins nana necklace

Another day, another impulse purchase from Lik + Neon. Hanna Melin is (or, rather, draws) Bananaman! Buy online here. Im eyeing up the mixtape print.

Henoween

Hen parties. Even the phrase makes my face curl up in memory of spendy weekends wearing the same hat/t-shirt/amusing headgear as a big gang of women you dont know too well. My friend Kate got married...

Pounds and Drums

The country. Not great for listless teenagers or snacks past midnight; great for calling your mum without the wailing po po starting up right by your ear and, closest to my heart, charity shops. This...

Pale September

Oh dear. I never wanted to be one of those bloggers, the ones that begin a post by apologising for how absent theyve been, but after two weeks (the shame, the shame) its unavoidable. So whats my excu...

Eleven Objects

The circularity of Fashion (the kind that refers to itself with a capital) always amazes me, and sometimes the thing that goes around and comes around is more welcome than others. Thanks to my Mad Me...

My Band T-Shirt

Back in the Nineties when I was, objectively, the least cool teenager in Gloucestershire, this flammable pale blue football shirt was one of my prize possessions. Ian Wade and Jude Rogers site, My Ba...

Autumn

I put this shot of my silly new leprechaun shoes on Instagram the other day and Caroline replied that it was a properly autumnal picture. Leaves, tights, proper shoes not sandals...I cant deny it. As...

Dalston Roof Park

I guess the creative types of London thought it would be a sunny old summer and wed need luring to the cinema. As well as the usual Somerset House outdoor season, theres been Claptons barge cinema, b...

I Break Horses

I dont (mostly). But I did spent my weekend listening to the new album by this brilliant Swedish band. What is it with those Scandis and sparkly, gorgeous disco pop music?

Its Blitz

There was always an invisible chalk line right down Brick Lane. On one side, constant change. On the other, nothing much apart from from one or two great pubs, and certainly none of the latte bars an...

Letters You Never Sent

I forgot to say at the time (it was the day after a big work crisis), but last month, I was one of the readers at Letters You Never Sent, a new night dedicated to the "letter as a dying form of s...
