is this really hideous? do I still think I am 18 and in Ibiza? Will it do for the park when I am 38?

whenever I read mag pieces they go on about transitional

as if everyone throws their clothes away every season

What is wrong with viscose, it is a natural fibre made from wood pulp?

buy all the shit you can, it's got to be better than the tat you get over here on the "high street"
when are you coming over? FFS

I was strolling over a bridge today and saw a flock of 16 pelicans and a family of 7 dolphins, it was 22 degrees and glorious sunshine. Does that sooth your mood any?

I really like the first dress Olive. I have one similar to that

orangina · 24/07/2008 14:57

It's a rubbish time of the year to shop. Sales all on, have been on long enough to have just their old shite left, and nothing interesting in the shops yet (THOUGH, having said that, Zara had all theri new winter gear in, and I found myself nearly buying a coat the other day.....)
