From the withered tree, a flower blooms.

This is so flowery and dark.

I think this is everything fall should be - jewel colours, gold jewellery, pretty dresses and trench coats. 

Except it seems this year I'll be digging out my white tights...

I LOVE YOU CASSIE

Because...


You made me start saying "wow" too much. 


You have pretty hair.


Your first words to Sid were "Oh....wow....lovely.........No, but I like that you're funny looking."

Cassie: I think that since Sid and Michelle are together, we should do the same.
Tony: What, go out?
Cassie: Yeah.
Tony: Get dressed up? Go on a date?
Cassie: Yeah.
Tony: And we'd talk and eat dim sum and I'd take you home.
Cassie: And I'd walk you upstairs.
Tony: And I'd knock my head and fall back down the stairs.
Cassie: And I'd run and get the witch-hazel.
Tony: And I'd say "Witch-hazel? Why? Are you 90? Give me some fucking painkillers."
Cassie: And I'd say "Hey! It's an excellent astringent and we're out of asprin anyway." And I'd turn the argument into a good hard fuck.

Skins was never quite the same without you.

You are beautiful.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

Today was lovely.

Nada and I went to the V&A to see Grace Kelly: Style Icon which, by the way, is stunning.
The exhibition shows her magnificent wardrobe spanning from the fifties, when she was known as a enchanting, award-winning actress with girl-next-door appeal as well as, of course, the princess of Monaco, to her 25th wedding anniversary in the early eighties, a year before her death.

Every little girl's dream, right? Glamorous actress AND a princess?
Well, I say 'little girl', but I think I'm still there.

Personally, I thought the highlights were her platinum and diamond tiara, her Hermès "Kelly" bag (named after her because she was seen carrying it so often), and her Dior maternity gown (a gift from Christian himself). 


Another highlight, of course, was the mini Grace Kelly shop where I bought these pretty lace gloves.


We then went to have an innocent look in Harrod's, where I had righteously vowed never to spend any money because of their fur farms. 


It seems I have lost all of my morals.

Pretty and dirty. The best of combinations.
