SW6 - 17th September

Ok so I haven’t posted for a few days…why? Because it would have been humiliating to do so! All I have done is work and clean. The old flat moved out and the new one moved in so I had 2 evenings of scrubbing walls, draws and floors! Finally my new flat mate has moved in however I have yet to cross paths with her so far so good!
The only highlight of my past few days has been 2 encounters with Jason Orange from Take That! well I say encounters I mean crossings in the street – well to be fair we did have eye contact both times! I think he lives by my office. Good God listen to me, this doesn’t qualify as interesting – I need to get out!
I have not worn heals or been to a club since Ibiza and it is killing me – I genuinely think it is bad for my soul not to go out! I have resorted to dancing in my room with my marigolds and my Hoover whilst cleaning to Missy Elliot’s 4 my people on repeat! HELP!! I have planned a night in Cuckoo on Friday night with Dancinggirl and another night out on Saturday so hopefully my life and sanity will be back on track by next week.
I was asked by ASOS magazine to appear in a shoot for one style 3 ways where three people style the same piece in their own way, however by boss said I couldn’t do if I used my own name as the brand couldn’t be associated with something like ASOS. Eer I am not the brand I am me! I feel like I am back at boarding school where every part of my life is controlled again.
One thing I would like to say… (although I know what he did wasn’t entirely appropriate)
TEAM KANYE!!!
How can some dorky awkward manufactured plonker beat BK???? Hello have you ever seen anyone move like that?

W11 - Sept 18

Finally watched GG yesterday at Julies’. Liked it didn’t love, but I won’t give too much away. I will, however, just give a few of my superficial notes. Some might argue all notes on GG are superficial, but I don’t really have time for them.

In terms of pure aesthetics, I feel they are finally styling Serena properly. Dan’s sideburns are ridiculous and have GOT to go. Are they supposed to detract from the fact that he gained weight? I don’t know, but either way, shave them immediately. Jenny; for someone who is supposed to be Queen Bee this year, she could not look trashier or more vamped out! Get it together your highness. Vanessa; uhh are those dreads? Are they extensions? Are they extensions you haven’t washed in several months? NIGHTMARE. Nate; whatever. Chuck and Blair, flawless as ever. AND finally, Dan and Serena’s new mysterious half brother Scott...uhh what? Is he Latino? Italiano? Either way, Lily + Ruphus does not equal Erik Estrada's long lost son. Someone in casting needs to be shot. (pic above). OH and Vanya, the Russian bellboy….happened to catch the actor’s name during the closing credits. Aaron Schwartz – nailed the accent. Shana Tova Schwartzy.

N4- 17th September

I had a cheeky pizza with Nats a mutual freind of SW6 & W11 on Wednesday and we both have decided to take a trip next year and do route 66!!! So excited at the prospect, I’ve always wanted to do it. We can’t decide to travel in a Jeep or a Cadillac and how long to do it for…decisions decisions.
Went for a pedicure at Aveda with one of the Grazia girls last night, nice little treat for a Wednesday, although not sure I chose the right colour but hey ho. I’m now on the scowl for the new Chanel green nail varnish…bet its sold out by the time I round to it.
Really looking forward to seeing ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ tonight…wore my new leopard print coat in for the occasion and got lots of lingering stares on my journey to work, maybe it was to early in the day for peoples eyes? Also saw one of the companies chairman outside work…even he looked like he couldn’t digest the pattern so early in the morning.

LFW Tomorrow..wish I was going to some kind of party but away this weekend and the invites aren’t exactly flying in?!!!

P.S really jealous W11 that you are watching the new series of GG..WTF?

W11 - Sept 17

Yesterday was a vast improvement on the day before – though a bit full of false starts. Went to my friend Julie’s flat to watch the season premiere of Gossip Girl (We’re American – we have ways.) Unfortunately, Julie’s baby had a fever, so we decided to try again today. I did get a few moments with my boytoy Chuck Bass though – always a dream. Next, I headed back to Rankin Live to see if they could squeeze me in for my 15 minutes! Brutally rebuffed once again. They couldn’t fit me in, but gave me a number to call today – I mean not really sure why they couldn’t have given that to me last week, before I schlepped all the way over to bumble fuck Brick Lane with a bag full of 9 outfit options, but let’s face it, didn’t have anything better to do anyway.

Next item on the agenda, got a mani pedi – went for Essie colour Mesmerize. It’s a bit Cookie Monster blue, but I think it works.

Capped off the day with a couple drinks at the Charlotte Street Hotel bar with a beauty editor I used to work with from NYC. Had a delightful time and she will now be referred to going forward as….my New Friend Jessica!

W11 - Sept 15

Ummm this weather has got to stop. I mean it’s technically still summer for the love of god and I almost wore BOOTS today. Uggh and it’s got me soo down. I don’t want to leave the flat, let alone the couch, not that it matters since I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do anyway. I just feel like I’m in a holding pattern – holding my breath till my actual life starts again. God that was such an Angela Chase thing to say. You know who that is right?

I saw SW6 briefly today, which is always nice and she reminded me this is just temporary. I do have to keep telling myself it won’t be like this forever! Sorry such a debbie downer - plan to be more positive tomorrow!
