Papped


Fit cheeks Mary working the red lippy and the bowler hat. Dibs on borrowing this dress-come-jacket. Her sex is on fire.

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.

Back Home






Back in Glasgow after amazing Easter holidays and the sun is shining! It was so nice to see Mommy E in London, walk on the beach in Brittany and eat with a view on the Eiffel Tower at the Palais de Tokyo. Back to reality now!

I was wearing this same tshirt the other day for casual travelling but today I made it look a bit smarter for work with my Vanessa Bruno trousers that I got 5 years ago to work at the French Consulate in San Francisco, had to look smart!
This little beauty giraffe brogues are one of my best bargain hunt, got them on sale in UO last year and managed to treat them well enough to wear them again this year.




Managed to steal a couple of shots of Michael's cool look while he was taking our bikes for a ride! The Goat and the Elephant are unseparable.

Matt Harding Photography



Hypercool photographer from Melbourne. Check out his travels and snaps along the way.

London Calling




They came from Glasgow. 
They saw the Irving Penn exhibition. 
They conquered three giant pastries.

Margaux Mum and Michael Cat were flying off for a wee holiday in Belle Isle so they stopped in London for Sushi at Koyto, grotesque Italian pastries at Princi and the Irving Penn at the National Portrait Gallery. Michael looked dashing as usual. Margaux was looking cool and casual for travel. This is a shirt I picked up second hand, vintage Jaeger - comes with it's own wee bow.

Office Outfits pt.1



 
Blog buttons are back on track. All systems go go go.
This week I have started my new temporary job. Now, two super sweet things have come from this....
 

No 1. I have to step up to the office outfit challenge. Looks need to be a little smarter... sleeker... It has started a burning desire from deep inside me to start wearing suits. Thinking about an overseas trip just so I can go and get some smart, three-piece, tailored suits made for me.

No 2. I get to lunch with the brilliant Maz everyday! She has appeared in previous posts for her sassy style. Oldest and dearest friend and now fellow workmate! It's super!

Miss my French Super Mummy!

Jacket: Black trench, Gap
Scarf: Mccolgan tartan, gift.

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!

Slip: black vintage underdress
Boots: Brown leather, vintage
Beret: Sonia Rykiel for H&M
