They say in a court of law you are innocent until proven guilty. But what if you are guilty by your own admission. Do you still get sent to jail?

I have recently embarked on an unnecessary shopping spree. In a bid to curb my guilt, I was hoping that if I called my credit card company and freely admitted my wrong doings, they might just let it all slide, interest free....

In the case that that doesn't work I have a Plan B! Enter EBAY. I have just listed over some 17 items on ebay in the hope that the money earned will go to the helpmycreditfromfloundering foundation.

And so whilst I await for that first person to hedge their bets and place a bid on my belongings I sit and stare at my recently acquired purchases....

Thank you Kirrily Johnston subterranean dipped knit, thank you Country Road perfect slouchy silk shirt, thank you Topshop Addison wedge boots, thank you Strawberrynet for my Marc Jacobs daisy perfume, thank you O.P.I for your delightful shades of nail varnish, thank you op shop for my Stevie Nicks inspired green bell sleeved dress, frayed poncho and lace tee.

And just for good measure I have thrown in a pic of my new pet elephant, purchased on a recent trip to Perth. Ain't he cute!

if i were but a mere male

If I were but a mere male I would want to wear Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2010...and a bit of Burberrry too.

I would want that Acne plaid shirt. I would want hair like that and friends like those. I would wear my vintage Nikes, my brogues and my hiking boots with pride.

And I would think Macauly Culkin to be a pretty cool dude, but Bob Dylan even cooler.

walk all over me

Despite the stifling heat that finds me sprawled on the balcony accesorised only by a hand held fan to appease my discomfort, I was reminded today that a European winter is apparantley fast approaching. Barely a rack could be unearthed at Zara today that wasn't adorned in faux fur vests, black jodphurs or tweed blazers. Admittedly each item was as equally gorgeous as the other but in this heat nothing could have tempted me to try them on. That was until I layed my eyes on all the pretty boots on display. Yes boots can be pretty. Look no further than above to see what Marc, Missoni, McQueen and co have on offer this season.
