So I start this journey of style and life in London with a not so typical weekend starting in North
London, but then I suppose when you live in London there is no ‘typical’.
With the boyfriend (DB’s) departed for the weekend and with the quest of expanding the mind I start my Friday night with book club.
Book club was recently started with a group of girlfriends in the hope of expanding our not so much used brains...to be honest it’s just turned into fancy dress booze and an overly lively/elicit discussion of the literature in hand.
So Friday night book club reads like this...7.30pm, 123 Orford road, E17 dissection of the Anthony Burgess’s ‘A Clockwork Orange’.
We are greeted at the front door by the host aka Mrs. Bamsey dressed in a all in one white boiler suit, bowler hat outer platties (pants over the suit) under eye lashes and wielding a knife. After having the initiation of under eyelashes drawn on CWO style, we then were treated to a shot of orange liqueur followed by orange coloured maize snacks.We vaguely discussed the book with Mozart's and Beethoven booming in the background and more booze and orange liqueur shots. What an intellectual way to start the weekend ay?
SATURDAY.....
Lie in (of course) and a delightful yet slightly depressing trip to Liberty’s. Walking around the store I secretly imagined I was walking around my own house in a few years time and all the other people shopping were guests....also managed to eye up an affordable Isabel Marant grey jersey top and a not so affordable Rick Owens leather jacket. Which reminds me I must start using my piggy bank again....
I managed to check out the ‘Prints Charming’ exhibition which I must say was bloody charming. LOVED the Grayson Perry scarf’s, having met the Artist recently at an event I found him to be one of the truly inspiring people you meet in life with many wonderful words of wisdom to hand out, Oh and a nutty attire to boot.
In the evening I had a visit from a friend/future bride to be (weddings in 2 weeks to be exact in Tuscany!) and another couple of Girl friends. With an eventful start to the evening with me locking us out the flat for an hour as a result of leaving my keys in the flat whilst popping to get a drink from the shop below opps!
We vaguely watched the start of Xfactor...or more commonly know as Cheryl vs. Danni.We all decide Cheryl looked liked a glorified pikey and that there must be at least six 10 year old girls in the middle east walking round bald after donating hair for her ever increasing mass of hair extensions.
Danni defiantly is winning in the style stakes for me...she’s not trying so hard which I LOVE. Plus I think her hair is mostly grown herself.
SUNDAY...
After a HUGE lie in and a sweaty tube journey to Notting Hill to meet SW6 girl I found myself in a Daylsford organic...and indulged in a cheese platter and cappuccino..Weird mix but yum!
We managed to pop into Whistle’s to see all the hype surrounding Jane Shepardsons influence on the brand...and yes they were correct as I wanted to buy at least 3 times. but lack of funds as per forbid this.
Anyway that the tune of my weekend...
peace out
