Friday highlights

The bank holiday approaches and Liam and I are off to Madrid. Goals are to see Guernica, eat a large number of tapas and soak in the 35 degree sunshine. It's currently about 12 degrees and pouring rain in England (apparently autumn arrived early).

• Forget the guitar, where can I get that dress?...
• This makes me want to learn to knit....
• I've been taking some personality tests this week. And not a surprise, I'm a judgemental introverted thinker. What are you?...
• Cowgirl, if my tent was that big I'd definitely give camping another shot...
• I love Danny Boyle but can James Franco really handle an entire film on his own? I've always thought of him as a supporting character...

Have a lovely weekend.

london fog

Wow Christina Hendricks never fails to impress me. The recent campaign for London Fog makes me actually want to switch my desire for Burberry trench coat to a London Fog one instead. I think that's the aim of an ad campaign non?

Side note: I had recently grown out my hair colouring to get it chopped and styled in my originial colour. As I wanted fringe (bangs), I went someplace expensive so they properly worked on my hair. They got it so wrong that I cried (for the first time in my life) at the hairdresser. I asked for Hendricks, I got a hatch job. Now my hair is permanently in a ponytail with an incredible amount of pins. I'm still hoping it will grow out to her beautiful style.

autumn style for london

I'm loving the Michael Kors Fall 2010 collection as my inspiration for autumn in London. The beautiful colours, the 70s re-imagined and a bike - exactly the type of Londoner I'd like to be. The heeled boots are also an essential September buy item. Though I am a little worried that biking in them will destroy them immediately.

istanbul, turkey

Liam and I went to Istanbul for Easter this weekend. It resulted in my first mosque visit, delicious stuffed mussels and amazing scenery. Of course, there was also a considerable amount of air pollution and no-one is swimming in that river. But that paled in comparison to the beautiful decor, the grand bazaar and the best boat ride I've ever been on!
