Le Shopping..

Shopping in Brighton is a smorgasbord of instant gratification.

With Delicacies round every corner.

I found my Vintage 501’s at Dirty Harrys on Sydney Road..great selection, impeccable service..and all 3 pairs (!) (one shorter to roll, one in dark navy *rather lush* and one long pair)..came to the grand sum of £35!

So I added in a pair of battered cowboy boots..

And a beautiful vintage silk kimono from Wolf and Gypsy (well worth a visit).

much cake and tea was had in celebration.

After which The Husband wanted to buy me this.

I wanted to buy him this…

My favourite place for lunch or High Tea..not posh, just warm, genuine and eccentric.

With doughnuts the size of cannonballs. Who could resist?

And these catseye sunnies somehow just purred their way into my possession..

Just the perfect place, with the perfect company to gently put the world to rights.

Can I go again?

It’s my birthday today..

Another year gone..an extra minute on the naughty step..

And it was decided that the ideal present from hubbie would be a pair of knock-out jeans..boyfriend style..but even after heading to the Denim Factory at Selfridges yesterday..I don’t seem to be able to find the perfect pair.. Except perhaps in the dark recess of my memories…these jeans were the uniform of my school years – well-worn, ripped, loose, belted, rolled legged, soft, easy, faded MENS (very important) 501 Levi’s, teamed with ballet pumps, fishnets (!), a white t-shirt and either a battered leather jacket or a blazer…

So all the jeans I tried on..the Hudson’s, the Rag and Bone’s, the Paige’s?..the truth is they were all really just trying to mimic that original, iconic, laconic style…so…why not go straight to the source..?
