There was a nice little piece on Cut Out + Keep in the Daily Mirror newspaper on Monday. They called me on Friday asking for photos to use. Tom said, you were in the newspaper yesterday, will be on fish and chip wrappers today and will be in the recycling tomorrow.
I'd been wanting a Vivienne Westwood horn tiara ever since I first saw one in Paris, but at £250 it wasn't very realistic. Tom found a blogger in America, who was clearing out and selling hers off, so he got them as my Christmas present.
They arrived this morning and they are so sparkly and pretty. They're replicas of the ones Vivienne wore to meet the queen.
Tom let me have a peak at them. All I need to do now is save up for "the dream dress".
My Mum and Nana have come down to visit, so we picked them up from the train station at midnight last night. Beforehand, Tom and I went on an impromptu very late night dinner date at Carluccios in St. Pancras station - delicious pasta followed up by Tiramisu.
While Tom was at work today (playing on the 3-floor office helter-skelter slide and ping pong table), we all went for pancakes at Plan 9 followed up with a wander around Spittalfields. I took Nana for a drink in the Ten Bells, because she's a fan of Jack The Ripper.
This door always makes me smile when I walk past.
We got tasty cakes from the Indian bakery on Brick Lane.
I went for a florescent green pistachio cube. I'd love to know what these are called.
This Twilight movie poster in the tube made me giggle on the way home. |

Tom's got a new job as Head Of Technology at Leap Anywhere, a site that features events you can go to to benefit charity, so last night we celebrated with pink champagne and dinner from the Bombay Bicycle Club.
This is Tom's new boss and his new office - he's naked for a charity calendar. It's sad for him to be leaving Drowned In Sound but he's still going to be their tech-guy and do bits and pieces when the site needs it.
On Tuesday night we went to see Conor Oberst's new band Monsters Of Folk at the Troxy. It was a very long gig (3 hours) and he only played six Bright Eyes songs. Luckily, we had a nice little press table to ourselves, so we played games and drank the time away.
Also, our first ever press release (written by publicist Sally) was sent out on Tuesday morning, when CO+K had reached 30,000 members. It's quite exciting waiting so see what the response is. Yesterday morning, we had a call from the Daily Mirror asking for photos to use in a story about CO+K, so keep an eye out for us in the paper on Monday.
On Wednesday, we went to see An Education at the cinema, which was really good.
On Thursday night, Bond Street were having another late shopping night with champagne and nibbles in all the fancy stores. There were carol singers on ever corner, reindeer and fake foamy snow being blown through the streets (which I later think I had an allergic reaction to).
When Emma finished work, we headed to The Diner for some yummy American food - mac n cheese, onion rings and spicy fat fries. Tom had a beer from New Orleans, which made him miss Raven, and I had two alcoholic hazelnut milkshakes, which made me miss BK.
I've been working on article for SewHip magazine with Clare, and as part of that I had to put together a tutorial for making Louis Vuitton style rabbit ears. Here's how they turned out...

It's been raining horribly, so after a busy week, we've had quite a quiet weekend.
On Thursday, Grazia were hosting a shopping evening on Carnaby Street, which was a bit like Fashion's Night Out, so most of the shops were offering a 20% discount, had DJs and were giving out free drinks and nibbles. I headed along with Lynz and Emma.
Shopping while drunk is fun but maybe not the best idea as I ended up buying lots of homeware from Muji, t-shirts for Tom and loaning Emma the money for a dress for the Chanel Christmas party.
We went for dinner at Cha Cha Moon, which was really yummy and then we did a bit more shopping. Emma tried on a traindriver hat, Lynz a trainspotting beanie, and I found a Brownie hat like I use to have when I was little. We all got very soaked on the way home.
On Saturday, we thought we'd avoid the rain by hiding out in Westfield, but I think everyone in London had the same idea. I tried on pretty rings in Tiffany and then had the most amazing pizza ever at Fire & Stone. It was topped with sweet potato and sprinkled with macadamia nuts.
I also got a cute dress in a sale and a pair of boots, so that I can stomp in puddles.
Tonight we went for dinner with Jason (who's down visiting from Dundee) and Debbie, which was fun. Our first press release goes out tomorrow, so we're having to work super hard tonight to get the site all nice and updated. |
