24 hours in LA.

{Alberta Feretti, J. Crew, Vince Camuto}

24 hours in LA: This week I zipped to LA for a quick client meeting and still managed to pack in some tourist time. Oranges: the flora- the fauna! Beverly Hills Juice. Packing: this image suggests I packed light- not true. Palms: I can never take enough photographs of palms. The Hollywood sign- I walked for two hours down Sunset Boulevard looking for this- finally found it through a telescope.

Notes on a week.

{Pardon my French: at the katespadeny presentation. Sequined skirt: If I didn't own enough before, I do now- new Zara skirt. Garance Doré: illustrations at the katespadeny fall presentation. I was completely starstruck at the sight of her and that red Kelly bag. Moi: at Kate Spade. Wardrobe: colour-coded. Jewels: why not.

December.

There's nothing like a new job to throw the daily routine into disarray; the blog has been sadly neglected.  So whilst I catch my breath, here's a snapshot of the past few weeks: {Gin, roses and vintage cameras, jools, fresh flowers in old jars, Celine dress & H&M clutch, friend ship bracelets via Lucy Folk (available here} and The Little Black list, vintage OdLR, my favourite Christmas tradition, Tea + British Vogue and a hangover, Comme des Garçons clutch & Zara beaded cape}.
