Sunny Scotland

Mama Duck just emailed me these photos from the weekend, when we were posing outside Pollok House in a large country estate right next to where I live.  Welcome to my gracious abode...  The park is actually pretty amazing, I would recommend visiting it if you ever go to Glasgow.  Not only is it massive, but it also contains a very famous art museum (The Burrell Collection) and has fields full of Highland cattle!

I am wearing, from toe to tip, Kurt Geiger boots, Cheap Monday black jeans and green shredded sweater, Chronicles of Never black top, Brora cashmere fingerless gloves, Firetrap black leather jacket and my Tina Lilienthal gold bunny necklace.  Apparently after showing this photo to her colleagues at work (yes, she still does that!), my mother's colleague said I look "very cool".  Unfortunately, he wears Hawaiian shirts...

There will probably be no post tomorrow as I am going to be at some press days in London (and the very exciting Wolf & Badger fancy dress party tonight), but I should have lots of goodies to share with you from Friday :-)

Hallowe'en

While you guys are all enjoying a fabulous Fashion Night In, I thought I'd upload some of my photos from the spooky weekend, just in case you get a little bit tired of flashing the cash.  I went back to Glasgow on Friday evening to stay with my family and catch up with friends, including a Hallowe'en dress-up night with Nisha and David.  I took this as a good opportunity to get my authentic Bavarian embroidered lederhosen out, which I wore with a Comme des Garcons tee, an Ann Demeulemeester shirt and an Austrian felt cap.  Nisha went as a vampish Cleopatra, decked out in African goodies she picked up on holiday and Elizabeth Taylor-style make-up.  Her new dog, Kulfi, was the perfect accessory...  David, as always, came unprepared and uninspired, so after a quick Googling session on Nisha's new iPad (I so want one for Christmas now!) we decided he should be a transsexual Geisha/kabuki character hybrid with make-up inspiration coming from Madonna's Nothing Really Matters video.  We partied both inside (with bright green creme de menthe concoctions) and at a club in town, and finished the night off with the best greasy chips I have missed so much...

I also got to spend some time with my parents, who had brought me back presents from France!  An amazing Anastasia-imprinted lavender bag for my sock drawer, and a bottle of Beaumes-de-Venise...  I also nicked a copy of my old graduation photo from the house to put up in my recently-tidied study, so I thought you might like to take a look :-) 

Happy shopping!
