Multicolour Black Eye




Bonjour fellow bloggers. I am just gonna take this moment to say hats off to my fellow BOROer  Mamam Margaux because she has been looking fierce. Margaux is hotter than a French kiss in Paris and harder than a Glasgow kiss in Scotland. 

Got a wee birthday party to attend tomorrow. The day time is a fancy dress punt down the river in Oxford (photos to follow), but this is what I'm gonna be sporting for the evening do.


 Finally got myself a pair of heeled desert boots. I was searching for a nice nude/beige pair and then when it come down to crunch time I found myself leaving with a black pair. What do you know? I have been wanting to team them with some stripey socks and then I thought why not go the whole multicoloured way. This is a dress I found in a vintage shop, the lady in the shop said it was a theatre costume... I like to think it was from Fiddler On The Roof... any other suggestion? A lovely dress maker I know, Avelina, was kind enough to shorten it for me, take off the sleeves and give it a scoop neck. Before it was rather dowdy, but I could not resist the print. I've also wanted a cropped tuxedo jacket for ages and found this one for a tenner. 
Love a bargain supreme!

Wishing you all a belter of a weekend. Grzbezos xx






This weeks playlist:

(I have included the video of this last song below because it's just like me and Margaux getting ready for a night out grooving)

Good Twin // Bad Twin


 

Who's a lucky girl then? Me! I was spoilt rotten with not 1, but 2(!) visits from Maman Margaux and Mikey.

 After a Greek salad in Camberwell's most delightful cafe, Johansson's (read a review here) and some cryptic crosswords we went home for some photos and to do what we do best: EAT MORE. Mommy Ele made us an amazing fish in spicy breadcrumbs and almonds - we should have taken photos. Yumster. Gave us some energy for our night out to see Rudi Zygadlo at the UK's No 1 small club, Corsica Studios. Read about Rudi and listen to his music in a previous post here. Check back soon for another outfit post and review with the man himself....


Mikey still looking fresh after a night's travel.

Bongo Jazz


Today was the first day where the sunshine was actually warm, it was lovely. I had a few errands to run, like buying paint, so my friend Allan and I took a walk to the paint shop and found these amazing old houses on the way.
Perfect day to show off my new Sonia Rykiel for H&M stuff (some of them) like this dress (that I altered myself, very proud) and beret.


It's a great feeling to know that Spring isn't far now...and that I can finally paint the bathroom!
