It was Miss Scarlet in the bedroom...

If ever there was a photo to show the haters what for, then this has to be it. I gawked at it no less than five minutes after prodding at my own rapidly ginger-ing mane, worrying when I would find the time to dye it back to dark brown again. Scarlet looks beyond sumptous here; I love the eye makeup and the matte but still there lips. Definitely one to try and copy once I've popped into Boots and picked up my two boxes of dye for a fiver. Bless these credit crunch times. A statement which immediately takes all the glamour out of everything. Oh well, for this mere mortal it will just have to do.

Phwoar ScarJo. Phwoar.

Forgive me for the cheese on toast title, but I've spent the last few Sunday afternoons curled up in a hungover ball on JDCs lap watching old Bond movies.

How gorgeous are these? They remind me of the D&G ribbon/bows/broches belt that has been spotted in every editorial under the sun recenly. Such a simple diy idea, which will allow me to wear all my charity shop broch bling at once. I went through a phase of picking up anything shiny I could lay my hands on in the Sue Ryder shop in Bemondsey. Shiny things make me very happy.

In other news. Today was Mother's day, so we spent the afternoon rummaging through the racks at the 'Frock Me' vintage fashion fair, where I walked away with a very pretty pink sheer dress with silver diamante detailing. Photos to follow I'm sure. I just need to get a pretty slip to go under it, as I'm hoping the thick black tights will be banished from my daily wear as the weather hots up. But then, this is England and while we do love to talk about the weather, things never really do go to plan!

Right, its 21:54, which is far too late for me to be up on a schoolnight. An old friend is starting as an intern for the other Director tomorrow, so I need to be on form to show her the ropes (and at least get up early enough to fix my wayward fringe...)

That's quite enough.

Oh my goodness. When I saw these I knew my own sequin leggings love affair was over. Up on ebay they went, and have sold this evening for a pleasing amount. No, I didn't advertise them with this picture! If ever there was an example of when trends go bad this is it.

Otherwise, I'm sorry that I've been neglecting the blog over the last few weeks. I started my internship at the Serpentine Gallery two weeks ago, and all the running around in the daytime means that I'm tucked up in bed by half nine every night with very little time to browse the internet, and much less time to go out shopping! This however is probably a good thing, since I'm not being paid at the moment and am therefore having to budget in quite a drastic manner, which is something I'm still getting used to. I just have to keep reminding myself how good this will look on my CV and how 3 months isn't actually such a long time when you consider that I'll be working for the rest of my life. Otherwise, there are always pictures like the one above just to remind you how silly fashion can sometimes be! Nothing quite like a wardrobe purge to make one feel frugal!
