Divine Clare Bowditch



Is it naff to post a song that has been on Offspring?  Potentially.  Is this song naff?  No.  It's incredible.  And you should listen to it.  Clare Bowditch has a heartbreaking voice.  Another one to add to my repetoire for my next imaginary cabaret show...

Grab on to today


"But if you knew you might not be able to see it again tomorrow, everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn’t it?"

- Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Climb a mountain, sail around the world, write a book, quit your job.  Do all that you can with this world.

So, I want to love this on her.  But the colour is wildly distracting for me.  Odd, because it's such a pancake of a colour that I can't understand how it would be distracting.  Still, the point is that it's less Jil Sander Spring 2012 than it is Anne of Green Gables/Laura Ashley without a print.  I liked it much better when she wore it here, and the light seemed to catch the colour better.  Also, I know she likes those shoes, and fashion media (actually any media) applaud her for wearing the same things over and over, but dear god I hate those shoes.

Summer height

In search of the perfect summer shoe - one that gives me height, a little sex and a lot of stability.
