I thought I would take an alternative approach to a gift guide this year. So don't expect categories like "for him" and "for her." It's going to be more along the lines of ....
One of the things I'm really missing at the moment is getting out and about in London. I'm still in resting mode so the closest I'm getting is going through some old photos.
But maybe I can bring the city spirit home instead?
I'm still afraid to count how many striped tops I actually own for fear of embarrassment. Still, the domination of stripes on the catwalk over the past month has made it a little easier!
Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who left a comment on my last post. It meant a lot to me reading them all, a little blog medicine perhaps.
Well some of my results are in...a brief outline is that I have permanent nerve damage throughout my digestive system. Who knows how that happened but hey ho, what's done is done. Now I'm going through another set of tests to find out what caused it.
So in the meantime, I'm still working (albeit a little slower) and taking time out for me. I think I might try my hand at baking (not that I can actually eat any of what I would be making right now) but it seems pretty therapeutic!
Firstly I should apologise for the sporadic posting recently for those of you who have stuck with this very neglected blog.
I'll explain that with the picture above, which probably deserves a translation. I haven't been well for most of the year, things have been a bit tricky whilst I've been trying to uncover what's going on inside. This culminated in a spot of keyhole surgery last week (which, by the way, sounds way too twee for something so painful) and I'm now awaiting the results.
Sooo, please bear with me. Posts might be a bit sparse for a while but I'm still here!
Take a peek here to see an interview with Scott Sternberg, designer for Band of Outsiders to see some rather humorous doodles (the Kermit one is my favourite).
I'm convinced the reason I love this Burberry tshirt so much us because the emebellishment reminds me of wooden blocks I had when I was little. I think they were to help with counting but in my case they were for building houses to consequently knock down (what can I say? I was a destructive child).
There's a plethora of Diamond Jubilee merchandise floating about at the moment. Personally I think the tackier, the better (Royal masks anyone?) but I've gone for a more subtle approach...
I'm thinking about producing this (and possibly this) as a print, what do you think? Yay or nay?
I've recently discovered a new found love for the Queen. Perhaps I'm just getting caught up in the Diamond Jubilee fever but really, anyone with a hat collection that spans a whole rainbow is worth our appreciation?
