First and foremost, A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and ate/drank/danced/laughed far far too much.
The picture above is possibly one of the classiest hangovers I’ve ever had, although in hindsight, it was probably more to do with the melon liqueur that followed that did it.. The rather statuesque bottle on the left is St. Germain elderflower liqueur, from Paris naturally. Incredibly sweet but worth the price for the bottle alone. Yep, I’m one of THOSE people.
A few more resolutions:
1. To eat out more in London (and not always order a variation of king prawns and garlic butter for starter).
2. Find the perfect pink jumper.
3. Build up a shoe wardrobe. Something Gaia Repossi would be proud of.
4. Go to more Courtauld Institute alumni events.
5. Continue feeding the 1920s obsession and bore more people to death about it.
Happy New Year, Natalie! Wishing you all the best…
Waaaay late, but Happy New Year! That gin bottle looks sick, is it the same image inside each one or can you collect a set? I want to build a shoe collection (one day I WILL get a pair of Jordan IV’s and wear them to the ground), but at the moment I’m alternating between two pairs…three once it stops raining, and it seems to feel *right* for the near future. Haha and I have stories to tell you about 6.
A very Happy New Year to you too Syed! The gin was a gift but I would love to hope that it is part of a set! In regards to the shoes, this was the photograph that inspired me: http://quitecontinental.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/vogueparis3.jpg?w=480&h=290 , pretty perfect no?! I very much enjoyed reading your ‘Looking Back’ series, especially the Umit Benan (Trussardi A/W12 Womenswear was dreamy) and Kris van Assche. Do you have any new additions to your wardrobe? We must meet to share these war stories!
