Ok i'm on my way to NZ for a week, to see family - i'm gonna be in the country, there is no internet so bear with me. But before i go i wanted to leave you with this; i LOVE saturdays surf shop. It's my favorite place for coffee, sitting out back is the best downtown summer spot i know. The boys are kinda cute and hanging with surfboards and wetsuits makes me feel a little like being back home. I met Ashlee there this week - her long blonde hair and a-dorable freckles seemed to fit right in - she makes me wanna be at the beach. So happy Saturday everyone - see ya soon x 

It's so f'n hot in NYC at the moment i seriously don't know what to wear - actually that's a lie - i just wear the same thing everyday; a pair of black Prada boxer shorts and a t-shirt, whichever one is clean, i only have 4 that i like and they are dictating a constant washing cycle. But if i had legs like these i would wear shorts like this - made by Acne - they may not have had the LES in mind when they designed them but i swear they seem perfect for a busy day of errands right now. So here's to short shorts and long legs and i guess even never ending hot days and humid nights - cos i'll be the first to complain when i have to wear wooly stockings under my jeans just to get me to the coffee shop.

I like prints, in theory. No i mean i like looking at them, i just never end up buying them. They seem too complicated for me, i don't have the imagination to make them work. Except spots (and stripes) - are these considered prints? Anyway i love them, i have two spotted shirts and they make me happy. So imagine my joy when i saw Julie and her whole little spotted outfit. Ok i'm now thinking there's nothing better than a matching print, top and bottom - how easy is that in the morning, and don't ya think it looks kinda chic?.

One of my favorite things about opening up a new season mag are the ads, all those glossy, big, fancy, new fashion ads. I've always loved them, and i always will. I'm all about the internet (obviously) i love the iPad - blah blah - but really i hope that for my time i can always rip out a perfect picture from Prada or Marant and stick it on my wall. So here's a little collage of a few of my current favs that've got me all giddy about buying a cosy coat when it's 97 degrees outside. I don't care what people say this stuff still works on me. I mean Emma Belfour at 39 for Celine, beautiful, Tati making Valentino feel so fresh, Kate's as cool as ever smoking at Marnat, the ladies at Vuitton, and Bruce W captures the most charming mum and child for Ferragamo - of course. It's just all so, um, nice to look at.
