St Vincent - pastels, copper and platinum hair

Everyone already knows of my love for Annie Clark, AKA St Vincent. She has a new album out soon and the artwork really makes the most of her new shock of platinum blonde hair. She looks like a total space princess babe. We are seeing her in London and Nashville and I cannot wait.



Also, life isn't all about aesthetics and Annie Clark really can play guitar, so here is her Beatles cover:

Weekend report

This weekend, I stuffed my face at the Woolpack on Bermondsey Street, celebrated Burn's Night with burritos and amazing homemade guacamole (from this recipe).



...Decided I want this Monet as a wall of my future house at the Tate Modern and tried out my HAY mardi gras mask, ready for my trip to New Orleans.



I also decided I want this amazing ipad sleeve by Gina Pipet, textile designer extraordinaire.

My place

It has been a crazy January so far... I cannot believe how much has happened in the last two weeks. I can't say more about that now without jinxing it so instead, here are a couple of views of how our place is looking at the moment.

Lime and lavender

Lime green. Purple. The last time I considered buying anything that was lime green was a 90s a-line skirt in Tammy Girl with a Mary Quant daisy zip. But, all of a sudden I'm obsessed with lime green Littala glass and light purple (I normally hate purple). It just goes to show there is no such thing as classic taste. Cardboard Cities seems to agree, so it's not just that I've lost my marbles.
