Okay, I am borderline obsessed with this collection by Objects Without Meaning. The colours! The prints! The silhouettes! It's all the things I love, from the big floppy hats to the blues and browns to the high-waisted everything. It also makes me yearn like crazy for warmer weather again where flowing tops and sheer fabrics… Continue reading Objects Without Meaning SS14

‘Coraline & Other Stories’ by Neil Gaiman (27/52)
Coraline Jones has moved house. Well, perhaps not house. She's moved from house to apartment, and days into her family's stay there, she encounters a secret passage that leads her to her other family - mother and father, with buttons for eyes. Coraline loves the attention, but things take a turn for the sinister faster… Continue reading ‘Coraline & Other Stories’ by Neil Gaiman (27/52)
Sunday Short: ‘Rape Joke’ by Patricia Lockwood
The rape joke is that he was seven years older. The rape joke is that you had known him for years, since you were too young to be interesting to him. You liked that use of the word interesting, as if you were a piece of knowledge that someone could be desperate to acquire, to assimilate,… Continue reading Sunday Short: ‘Rape Joke’ by Patricia Lockwood

Heinui SS 2014
I blogged about Heinui's delightful FW14 collection earlier in the year, and while I don't like their SS collection quite as much, it is still pretty great. I particularly love the colour palette - chambray and coral are two of my favourites at the moment, so to see them so beautifully represented in these clothes… Continue reading Heinui SS 2014

Sunday Short: How to Have a Miscarriage by Amanda Holm
The doctor comes in, after you spend a long, long moment in the room with your spouse, carefully thinking about nothing. “We have some issues,” she begins, and proceeds to methodically break your hopes into small pieces. There is a lot of crying. You will feel later that you owe that doctor no small portion… Continue reading Sunday Short: How to Have a Miscarriage by Amanda Holm

But not your sister
My sister turns 26 today. It's not old by any stretch of the imagination, but M is approaching her quarter-life crisis with all the vigor and panic that a regular person would approach 50. It's not exactly surprising. I love my sister very dearly, but she's prone to exaggeration and dramatics. It doesn't help that… Continue reading But not your sister
Rachel Comey Resort 2015
Man, the Resort collections this year have been on point. I'm particularly feeling this one by Rachel Comey, which is both insanely wearable and straddles the rather odd line of mechanic-chic and, well, just plain chic. Plus, I'm pretty partial to rich blues, which is in spades here.You can check out the full collection over… Continue reading Rachel Comey Resort 2015
