Crazy Weather, PHDs and Missing Earrings.

I've been back home for a couple of days and managed to do a lot of stuff. Tonight I cooked for some friends, earlier this week I met up with a PHD student, tonight I lost one of my beautiful silver earrings due to some CRAZY weather (some crazy dancing at a gay bar 'may' have been involved). I think this is why I can't even consider living any where else!

Louboutin + Lynch

I'm not such a big fan of David Lynch but I'm a HUGE fan of Christian Louboutin and these pictures are just gorgeous:

Merry Miu Miu Christmas.

I didn't send any holiday cards this year so here goes nothing: Happy Christmas everyone!

I'm currently obsessing over these wonderful Miu Miu creations that I hated when I first saw them (not those exact pairs, sort of a mix between the two...):

An Entire Generation of Coctail Waitresses part 2.

Just got an email from my tutor (and IR professor) at SOAS and it's signed just 'Steve', not Professor ..., not Prof. ..., not even his full name. This made me feel decidedly better about my first (of many) blunders this term and a little bit more at home at this self confessed anti-LSE.

Little Whinging.

Went for a walk in my neighbourhood yesterday afternoon and took some pictures, grey and muggy London in December:

Joys of Christmas.

It's that time of year again, time to pack up your stuff and head home for Christmas. I've been awake for a good hour and half worrying about HOW exactly I'm going to fit everything into my suitcase + ONE carry-on item (yes, I like my sleep and only involuntarily get up before 10 am). The items in question are some Christmas presents and shoes. *sigh*

There are at least 3 pairs I 'need' to take with me, plus the pair (or pairs...) of shoes I plan on buying this week (one fancy, one not so fancy but practical in the craziness that is Icelandic winter weather).

I think it's time steamer trunks made a come back! (oh and manservants, valets and the likes)

Amy Winehouse / Maggie Wheeler.

Was watching Friends earlier and it struck me just how much Maggie Wheeler's character, Janice, looks like Amy Winehouse! So I google 'Janice +friends' and voilá! Apparently I'm not the only one who noticed:

Separated at Birth: Amy Winehouse and Janice from Friends?

Happy Christmas W14.

Walked past this window on my way to the tube station yesterday and seeing an advent light reminded me of Christmas at home:

(Crazy) People and Their Pets.

You can love your pets, just don't LOVE your pets (and please for the love of god (or dog even?) never forget that it is an ANIMAL):

The Darjeeling Ltd.

I went to see the Darjeeling Ltd last night and I absolutely fucking loved it! Hints of the Royal Tenenbaums with the colours from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and wonderful music.
