Style Icon x

 

Style icon and new guilty pleasure – I’ve recently discovered Karen Britchick aka Karen Blanchard on Youtube – walking the streets of New York she eyes up the fashion, asking people about their outfits.  The pleasure is multi-layered – first, it’s sitting on her shoulder, being in unfiltered New York, where you can see the steam and smell the energy.  Then it’s that she doesn’t go for commercial outfits – everything is unusual, a progression, pushing a boundary, an art form, something different, unusual, which makes it exciting.  And finally its the idea that style isn’t an expensive brand, it’s about passion, expression and understanding how things fit together. In fact, the less commercial, the better.

Cut!

This is the result of a short trouser mistake I made by booking a hair cut for myself during half term  – I did realise my error, but because our internet and mobile connection was so bad where we were staying, I had no chance to re-arrange it..so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Bella and Charlie with me.  To my credit, before we left home I asked both of them – Do you both have your tablets to play on? Yes, they assured me.  Except, when we got to the hairdressers…

‘Right – you both sit there and play on your tablets… be good, I won’t be long’…

‘But mummy, you never said to actually bring them with us’…

‘^%&^$%^%£%@$^&%^(*1!’

So there was nothing for it but to hand over my phone…

 

The moral of this story is never, ever, mix hair cuts with young children..always pay the cancellation fee…
