Be Your Own Valentine

We really want these pretty paper lashes by Paperself , so that we can look all delicate and interesting, and people will come up to us in bars and say, “whoah, those are great eyelashes, are they your own?” and we’ll say, “yeah, took me ages.”

New women’s things #5

It was true, the hairband had changed things for her; she’d never known what to do with all that fringe before.

It also made for a fine pipe shelf.

Boots, chaps and cowboy hats…
nothing else matters

Ride it like you stole it. Wear it like Roy Rogers. Sing it like Gene Autry.

Buy this book, change your life.

Better than Toblerone

Adding to the never-ending list of Things We Want: Jana Keller’s knotted leather cuffs.

Everything she designs under her Royal Blush label is created using vegetable-tanned leather, and is inspired by the Swiss Alps. Kind of like Toblerone, only COOL.

RIP Luella

Where did it all go wrong? We were having such fun. It was all so…fun

You must remember the parties? Oh, the parties…Everyone was there.

I let you flirt with all those other girls; I was happy to share you with Alexa, for a while at least, and OK – yes it did really fucking hurt when I saw you with Peaches – but I could get over it, because I always knew you’d come back to me eventually.

We had our good times. Remember that autumn of 2008? Those crazy days where we dressed like Pagans and hung out at the witch museum? You taught me it was socially acceptable to crimp my hair; you said it was OK if I wanted to wear a party dress even though I was only staying in to brush the cat.

Sure, there was that difficult patch this spring; but I thought we were coming through the other side of it? I should have known then things would never be the same again. When you started to say it was OK for grown-ups to wear bows in their hair – I should have taken that as a sign.

I should have known it couldn’t last forever.
