shhh…new magazine crush!

Yes its true .

Im going through a bit of an ironic phase at the moment. And I have sucummed(sp?) to reading a sopt of The Lady magazine It reminds me a little of an early I-D magazine- you know-Not much advertising, undeptful articles,but a spirit of something.(really!)

It is reaking of  upperclass England and everyone who writes has fabulously annoying names and it features everything from Annoying man from Dorset who has a huge fashion empire,THe Queen,Ascot,the election And all things British .

And its £1.80 .

I will be buying it again as its so brilliantly cringlworthingly great .

JESUS walk with me!

There is nothing better whilst on holiday ,to check out the local wears.

There right infront of me ,next to a local Spanish Spa(7/11), was a fabulous tacky leather shop.

Then I discovered these little beauties…!

If they are good enough for Julio Iglesias-there good enough for me!

They are like feet gloves. Soft ,comfy and very hard to get off .

You know Ive always loved a leather loafer. . . .

Jesus Canovas – you have made my dream come true ,since 1983 ,I cant belive its taken me sooo long to finally  meet you ..

And in sooo many colours too.

(Im sooooooo on my own here, arent i!)
