French Connection has got a new look on it’s website and I think I like it. I just wish I liked the sale prices more.

FC has been doing well since it ditched the FCUK (AKA I’m a spide/chav fashion-sense-less white sock wearer with an aptitude for drinking WKD and Bacardi Breezers) branding. 75% of the dresses are close to amazing (short, but amazing), with simple detailing and lovely shapes. My favourite miss on the sale was the Elk dress which is essentially the Ann done in houndstooth and what’s not to like about dogs and teeth. I also saw that Quinn chick from ‘Glee’ rocking the old black and white heart sweater that I nearly scored off eBay for £5. Man, if I could wear FC and sing mashed up musicals all day I’d be pretty happy, but you can’t win them all.

If I had to choose one of the new pieces it’d be the Promenade Dress. I see it with boots and bare legs, I see it with flip flops, I see it with dunks, I see it with my eyes closed and it’s hanging on my rail. Hmmm.

The good thing about French Connection is that the designs are coherent and there’s a definite progression through seasons using similar styles. It’s about design – not covering all the bases à la Topshop (I can say that, I’m a Topshop whore). Hats off to the weighty fabric, flashes of colour, shaped cuffs, shoulders and necklines of the future, or rather, the present.

Bunting is something I like a lot at the minute. I have no idea why. I guess for the same reason I’m liking paper cranes, pom poms and pink and blue together in photos, on colours, in my eyes.

My necklace from Tatty Devine. I’d forgotten about it but today I remembered. It’s sort of dumb but just knowing that it’s sitting in a little box on my dressing table makes me happy.

I’ve said it before, but this has got to be one of the best things ever made by anyone anywhere.

I want Ashish to ditch the spikes at Topshop and get back to pom poms and skeletons.

Rachel Proud is the lucky lady rocking the bones.

We found it. Well, my mum found it. My favourite perfume ever was discontinued by the Japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido. Turns out old Serge worked for them, then left and took his smells with him. So freaking happy about this. Féminité Du Bois will be mine.

Marc Jacobs does birds.

It was comforting to know that the neighbors had stopped speaking.

Got these bad boys in the post today. They are so tiny and delicate.

Our trip to The Reading Rooms in Margate was good good. The B&B is beautiful.
