I’ve caught a boeing

On google maps hybrid  yesterday evening .

Is this a normal concurrence in the world of satellite maps ?

Or have I missed a huge Jumbo exhibition happening just off the Seven Sisters Road?

Answers on a postcard please…..

( I am officially an anorak )

But this combo could work for me .

Randomly found here

THEN she got me into …

A label ran by a friend of hers called Fuud . And I had a big love for these .

Wearing the trackies with a nice cashmere roll neck could work for me  .

(***But realistically I am not sure I am able to put the laura ashley dress at the back of the closet just yet….)

hip hop sis

So my gorgeous Hip hop sister arrived at the weekend .

Yeah-the younger sis has taught me a bit or two about fashion . I must look soooo boring/middle aged/past it  to her .

She told me about these labels that only the young would know about and I became more envious of her youth by the minute .

Her life ( as a trainee doctor ) revolves around leggings ,faux gold ,unitards,old school trainers and shell suit tops.

Moi is très jel .

She loves this label called Puckoo ( above)who custom make leggins for about £55.00 . Bit of a bargin if you ask me .

winter blues

I have found my old leather biker  jacket resonantly in  the bottom of a slightly dusty box -We were both very happy to see each other again after all these years . I have no idea where and when I got it  . But its a perfect fit ,arms slightly bent,good chunky angry looking zips

I have also adopted a pair of dungarees . Which (apparently )have an anti ageing effect on me . They are a bit comedy too as they seem to twist a little  . (However it does open up the debate for appropriate clothing for over 35 year olds . But hey)

Then the dress I swapped a few weeks ago ,for my reading glasses ,has become a favourite too in that Little House on the Prarie kind of way .Channeling 1970’s mom .
