because of the temporary unavailability of wireless internet at home, ive wandered downtown & after picking up myself a copy of lara stone's ed of paris vogue decided to pop into my newest favourite coffee shop to sip on one of their lovely secret recipe chais & make a couple posts until i (& my internet) is back again this weekend.

love, A.

flowers blossom in the wintertime.

sun bleached denim, pastel coloured brouges, heels with crocheted ankle socks, peter pan collars, bright florals, messy buns, & the white lace tights ive been dreaming about

topshop's 'glory days' spring lookbook.

im out the entire weekend with mates running from vintage shop, to coffee shop, to record shop, stopping only to spend endless hours sat on an ikea couch chatting about alison goldfrapp & general bloody nonsense. yet i can't believe how im still awake after only sleeping from the wee hours of the morning up until a little before noon. but, alas, here i am still up at 4am importing all the moloko albums ive just got my hands on, watching 11,000 clicks for the 11,000th time, all while simultaneously posting this blog, screencaping clips &
eating a carrot cupcake.

you're mixing with felons man, pull out the stops.

currently obsessing over live clips of : live 01 live 02 / listening to : indigo : moloko

it's cold outside and the paint's peeling off of my walls.

this afternoon i awoke to snow & a brown paper box that inside held my just ordered copy of apartamento. its what purple would be if it was an interiors magazine - witty articles & all.

i spent the entire rest of the afternoon flipping through it, lazily curled up by the radiator, window up, with a cup of hot chai, dreaming of how i'll decorate my own nyc apt one day.

buy yourself a copy & thank me later.

currently listening : it's alright with me: róisín murphy

"i've no room for slob-out clothes, so i have to keep throwing out jogging bottoms."

after a quiet dinner outing with the family, i arrived home much later than usual & during my nightly rounds of fashion blogs & emails, i found this little surprise in my inbox.

she chain smokes, got arrested as a teen & will never get married.

ilovethiswoman, ilovethiswoman, ilovethiswoman.

suffice to say - it has completely made my night. im a róisín addict through & through.
& am now finding myself naughtly wanting a pack of silk cuts & a 1970s crystal ashtray
by my side while all of overpowered plays in the background on repeat...

sigh

kids in the street, drinking wine on the sidewalk.

i sinfully neglect to check stockholm streetstyle for a day or two & look what happens.
my favourite girl pops up.
you'll be seeing more of her very soon.

if alison & róisín were djs.

download these.

alison goldfrapp's favourite tracks of 08;

bon iver : lump sum
grizzly bear : reprise
yeasayer : sunrise
fleet foxes : white winter hymnal
MGMT : time to pretend


& the tracks that are currently inspiring róisín murphy;

brian eno : baby’s on fire
roberta flack : compared to what
devendra banhart : a sight to behold

it was inevitable, knowing their taste, that they would be absolutely fabulous tracks, ones not to miss. they may even prove to become one of your new favourite songs of 09.

i spent much of my weekend downloading away & my new favourites are bolded.

monday, 3:59am

endless cups of blueberry tea, online purchasing of apartamento, downloading new tracks, making new playlists, writing shopping lists, missing friends, missed calls, 11,000 clicks,
a cigarette, the bell jar, & pointless posting to make up for lost time.
