I found this Tie Die Dress in Harpers Bazaar so had a look at the rest of their stuff. I think next year tie die will definitely be too young for me, but I'm giving it a go for the last time this Summer. Newlwed dressed as wannabe Festival goer perhaps?
Tom, my Mother, Step-Father and I have gone Scrabble Mad. Why I am blogging about it I do not know but all I am sure of is we are obsessed. After wolfing down dinner so we can get playing as soon as possible, the arguments begin and made up words attempted. If you're bored give it a go - We can't get enough of this British Classic.
Ps, you can also get it as an app on your iPad. It is almost as good as the real thing and well worth a download.
I went to the opening of the Little Black Gallerys new exhibition of Mike Figgis': Kate & Other Women last night - my God they were beautiful prints. Picture of Kate, Eva Green and other beauties lined the galleries walls making it near impossible to choose a favourite. The photographs of Miss Moss were shot as part of a campaign for Agent Provocateur in 2007 which included a series of films directed by Figgis 'The 4 Dreams of Miss X' which was playing downstairs... I was literally glued to the screen.
I am longing to buy one... Not only do I love Figgis' work - it's also of Kate. It rarely gets better than that. I just can't decide which one.
'Eva Green Smoking'
Kate - 'Between The Eyes'
My Favourite - Kate 'Backward Glance'
The Man Himself- Mike Figgis at the show last night...

My mother can make a table look more wonderful than anyone else I know. We were down at Doves this weekend and each meal she excelled herself. Flowers, embroidered napkins (when we are lucky we even get our names on them) and beautiful plates and glasses filled the table. She really is our very own British Martha...
