SHELLS ON YOUR BOOBS
Wildfox "Ariel" tank
And the Sirène collection makes its debut.
I came across Wildfox's Summer lookbook back in February, and I have since been patiently waiting pouncing on the sales assistants from all over the world trying to find out when the items would get released. This is only the first of a happy series, I fully intend to get at least a couple of things, and the shell shirt had to happen. The color is beautiful with a tan, and the fabric is light and works beautifully with the cut of the tee. I'm not even a t shirt person but these are something else.
Summer is so much easier to dress, you could argue it's because of the layers, but also because- and this might sound like an odd remark- everything looks better next to skin. The simplest things are immediately flattering and interesting. It's the reason why fashion photography is mostly minimal clothes over naked bodies, there's no other way. You can use a lot more colour and a lot more print, and generally have more freedom, when you have some exposed skin to work with; skin simplifies and balances things out.
As you can tell I'm back in London, and not massively content about it! Planning, planning...

THE LAST OF THE IBICENCAS
ONLY IN IBIZA
Step by step account of boarding an Easyjet flight in Ibiza
1. I check the gate number of my flight on the screen. It has already been announced. Gate n7
2. Quick detour to check out the makeup counters. Very aware that I need to go immediately to gate 7
3. I go to the toilet
4. I can't find the gate because there are no signs?
5. I get to gate 7, 10min before boarding time, expecting to find a queue round the block as usual
6. Nobody in the queue. Everybody seems to be sitting down on the seats, some of them sleeping.
7. Since nobody seems to be moving, i find myself a seat. This all seems suspiciously civilized for Easyjet
8. I sit down, and look around me. Everyone most relaxed. Doesn't look like they have the least intention of forming a queue anytime soon
9. Cabin crew expectantly waiting for the passengers to make a move. They announce the Easyjet boarding system. Passengers turn to look at crew, seem unimpressed
10. Cabin crew member asks passengers to please walk over and form a queue.
11. Cabin crew manages to mobilise passengers who slowly walk up to their queue, no stress tainting their countenance.
12. Boarding begins
How it works in London: Passengers in a crowd standing in front of the screens that will announce the gate. The second the gate is announced, they all run for their lives until they reach the gate, forming an interminable queue where they will stand for approximately 40 minutes until the crew even appears
JUST TO CLARIFY
About everything that's happening on the blog
Google listed my site as having malware about a week ago, it happened to thousands of blogs, not entirely sure what the issue is because they never actually found a problem in my site, I went through all the checks, but they proceeded to block it anyway. And they can't be contacted, I tried everything, forms...contact numbers (they hung up on me).
So that blog was over. In view of this, we had to create another one immediately, in which, as you can see, the design is still not done. This is a temporary site while I'm working on the new one.
I'm taking the opportunity to make it better. So if you have any ideas or requests, things you'd like to see different, things that you think will make it a better user experience, please let me know and it will be very helpful.
I wasn't ready to create another website so fast (especially being in ibiza without internet at the time it all went down), it's been really distressing to everybody. You bet I'm gonna walk into Google's offices this week and perform on them one of the tricks I've been reading in 120 Days of Sodom
THE PAREO
Pareo from Azibi at Cala d'Hort beach (they have the BEST), Shorts from Siwy, Ancient Greek sandals, laptop sleeve from Liberty.
As days go by and the weather improves, I decide to ditch clothes in favour of scarves and old shirts I find in the wardrobes. Nothing is as magnetic to me as an old shirt, impregnated with the odour of vanilla and salty air. This is my favourite way of wearing the pareo- it's very St.Tropez I think. I like covering my chest because it burns easily and I hate with passion the feeling of it getting roasted. So this is perfect. It also looks great with low-rise shorts. I would have worn flip flops but I'm still injured between my toes. Really bloody annoying. It's ok though, i get to walk around barefoot most of the time.
This has become my favourite bikini of the week for hanging around, a friend of mine just got herself one as well and loves it (link). It's very structured and super sexy without being scanty.
Lipstick is Tom Ford Adobe Pink
