Runner up in the wadrobe-remix all the photos of her clothes are brilliantly composed against her backgrounds.

Wadrobe-remix on flickr is totally addictive but this lady is head and shoulders above the rest. I covet the house AND her wadrobe.Total lifestyle envy.

You cant argue with logic

Kitty " I want a fish"
Mum " no"
Kitty " why?"
Mum " I don't agree with keeping animals as pets its cruel and unnecessary"
Kitty " but you've had cats"
Mum " yes they were strays and they all ended up at your grans to be looked after"
Kitty " can I have a stray fish then?"
Mum " no, since when were there stray fish roaming around?"
Kitty " I HATE you"

Later that night after the fireworks

Leyla " why is it so cold"
Mum "the sun has gone down the moon is up there is nothing to keep us warm"
Leyla " I NEVER want to go into space"

day to night

Day to night dressing is a favourite quandary for magazines to solve, how do you bridge the sobriety of work with the glam of a night out? Well today is such a day for me, work until 1 o' clock then a sprint to the station where in theory I will hook up with Daisy and Kitty on the train a few stops further up, then on to London bridge to meet mother, and its off to the Design Museum to see Matthew Williamson. After which it is dim sum at the wonderful Yauatcha with the other two sisters. Unlike many restaurants that start with a bang then fizzle out this one for me still stays wonderful, Then on to the Coach and Horses for a pint although the addition of the girls may scupper that one. So today I have opted for black slightly cropped satin trousers with a black cashmere jumper Black leather jacket and coral earrings finished with my favourite grey cashmere scarf. Black on black maybe bang on trend but its tricky to pull together black wool does not look good with black cotton only a few fabrics look right and then there is the quandary of which black has been used I know from college that there are a hundred permutations of black and few of them match each other so after you've bridged those two hurdles black on black is quite an achievement. According to Sarah Mower a leather jacket is a no no after 40, well I have to confess, press that mutton monitor because that's what I am wearing. I don't agree with Mower if the jacket is cut well and not overly trendy or stuck in the 70s life on mars style then I'm good to go.

The thoughtful dresser

A wonderful new blog http://thethoughtfuldresser.blogspot.com via Cuffington, thank you Cate, Everything my muddled mess of a blog is not, articulate and grammatically correct. I too liked the " what do these three men have in common" piece, spot on in terms of the hypocrisy anyone over size 12 has to deal with.
" a good handbag makes an outfit" is a mantra my mother has lived by too. Sadly every bag she buys never seems to full fill the criteria 100% her latest tips its contents out across the floor every time she fails to grab both handles, other bags weigh so much she can barely carry them. I however have one daytime bag, one night time bag, the stress of transferring purse, phone, oyster card, lip stuff, note book, keys etc etc is too much. I also like a very light bag my current Mandarin duck can not weigh more than a couple of ounces, never shows the dirt and drip dries in seconds, perfect.
