everything goes my way

It's almost midnight and I haven't finished working yet, so I'll make this brief. This is what I wore to the Topshop and Louise Gray shows today, they were fun, I drank champagne and ate haggis toasties and quail's eggs scotch eggs and that sort of thing. In between I went to Somerset House with Jane, who gets snapped everywhere we go while I skulk in the corner holding her bags. We figured this could be because when people do ask me for photos, I get in a tizzy and say no. The style-snapping that goes on there is weird and I won't pretend to understand it on any fundamental level, but I forced Jane to take this for me to show you lot. Big day tomorrow. More blogging to come I swear it.

I've been doing that double-gold-cuff thing all week and I really like it but I feel like it might look a bit silly. Opinions welcome. They don't match but they're pretty similar, in case you can't tell in the pic.

Messing around and wasting time before the CSM show on Friday. No point in even typing out the outfit details because it's just black on black on black. What did you expect? Wearing MAGENTA though today, and off to Topshop + Louise Gray later. How is it only day three?

I eat quite a lot of oranges. They're handy to throw in your bag and eat in class or on a bus. But wearing orange isn't really for me, I think. Or is it? It's a really hard colour to pull off. A good one regardless. So I keep a mental folder of 'cool orange stuff' and I added loads to it last night at the show. It was amazing, by the way. My shows notes are mostly just the word 'UNREAL' scrawled on every page with various amounts of exclamation marks.

It was freezing all week last week in London. Now it's this pleasant essentially-Spring weather which is making me nostalgic for riding my bike to class in Trinity and going to the library and wind in my hair and so on. That made me briefly a little sad, until I realised that three years ago, the same weather would have made me nostalgic for my school uniform and walking to school with my friends and talking about boys and all that. So it's cool. In three years' time, it'll remind me of running around London and not sleeping enough and days spent in the studio. It's good. Change is good. And that's good, because change is inevitable.

Anyway, this is what I wore on last Friday. As I said, it was cold, so I wore two jumpers. Tomorrow's the start of LFW - I'll try to update (I'm going to shows eeeeeeeee fashion nerd excitement) as much as possible but work work work you know how it is, right?

Since last June I've been on a mission to take photos of myself grinning enthusiastically beside as many famous pieces of abstract art as possible. Here's what I've accumulated so far. It's hard as I often go to galleries alone and am hardly going to ask a stranger to take a photo of me in some silly pose beside a Kandinsky or whatever. You get a lot of strange looks from other gallery-goers. But whatever, man. It's art. It's there to be enjoyed.
