Sophia and Nigella

I just can't decide who I want to be more.

Just signed up to the Nigella website, and I'm poring over her collection of utensils. Phwoar. Is it wrong to get a bit hot under the collar looking at parmesan shavers and casserole dishes?

I might have to add her to my side bar... <3 Nigella

I heart

the sims 3
that's right. I've got it. And that's why I haven't been online in about a million years. I won't bore you with a massive post outlining its triumphs and shortcomings in comparison with the sims 2 (I've already done this in huuuuuge post on a certain gaming website. Yeah. I'm just that cool) but I will urge any sims fans to buy it. It's well worth it. Espesh for Vista users, as sims 2 just fucks up every five minutes.

Now this is why I cut my sim chat short, I discovered another lovely little boutique website that i feel I need to share with the world:

Oh, Darling! is an adorable site I found through twitter (I still find it quite exciting when anyone/anything remotely cool chooses to follow me. Where do they even find me?)

PHWOAR:Anyone fancy buying me this? Click the image to go straight to the page for that necklace. If I don't get there first. Just look at it. And it's under seven quid. I might order it now.

Follow Oh, Darling! on Twitter

Buy this book.

Read this book. Worship this book.

It's hilarious and informative. I can't beleive it took me this long to buy it. I own about 20 'style guides', some might call me and addict, but this is by far the best. Much better than the little black book of style, which everyone bummed, but was horiffically patronising, and clearly written for the middle aged. This is fun fun fun (in the sun sun sun, if you will)

Speaking of sun (see what I did there? yeah. wit. right there.) how fucking nice has it been the last few days?? I mean, phwoar.

On the downside I have a tanline across my boobs. not sexy. fake tan ahoy!

new weblove

for shipmentoffail.com. amazing stuff. well, just funny photos really. but much funnier than alot of other sites out there. i do hate that they write 'fail' on all the photos though...

epic fail on the s&d front

Missed every band I wanted to see.

Got lost in shoreditch.

Paid for two Indian meals - one being just popadums, which I didn't eat.

Saw only one band, the one band I didn't give a shit about.

Took lots of photos of ben being sick.

Accidentally walked to Hackney at 3 am.

Needless to say, I didn't pull a member of magistrates.

On the upside, Vegan chinese buffet eaten on the street.

Vodka frescatos from starbucks.

Street mug (got smashed)

Delish tesco salad and lovely gay crew in trafalgar square.

Other highlights of my little holiday to kingston include:

Mystery speed cake high

Free posh food

80p drinks in cheapskates

'sampling' bens wares when stuck outside the building

feeling like a zombie in laaandaaan taaaahn

waking up just in time for dinner

trying to sleep with the birds singing

more tales to come.... wierd times

surreal but good, hopefully I'll get accepted for september.

Sorry about the lack of photoooss

Stag and Dagger

I'm getting stupidly excited about Stag and Dagger..

The site describes it as:

STAG & DAGGER, the first one-ticket-gives-access-to-all music event to launch across London's East End in May 2008 is excited to announce its return in 2009 - bringing with it a bigger line up, more bands and DJs, more venues, and two additional national dates, this time taking the festival on the road to LEEDS and GLASGOW.

Run by VICE, presented by FIRETRAP, sponsored by Gaymers, and with acts such as:

Lovefoxxx

Casiokids

Dananananaykroyd

Cold War Kids

Exlovers

Filthy Dukes

SLOW CLUB

The Mae Shi

We Have Band

(...and jack penate...)

And DJ sets by magistrates and Moshi Moshi.

Now as you may or may not know, I bum pretty much every band and artist who has ever come out of Moshi Moshi, ESPECIALLY the almighty slow club.

And the fact that for a bargainous £18 I can have an entire day of music in various venues all over Shoreditch, in a kind of intimate gig-meets-festival format.. Well, that's just diddly.

Plus, I'm planning to make a play for a member of Magistrates...

Yeah, damn straight. Yum.

Wishlisttttt

- click to enlarge -

As my buffday is approaching I thought I'd make a wishlist. Of course I've already provided my mother with a much lengthier version including links to products and websites I like. Sorted.

The Best Bits:

• Betsey Johnson Bag - I bum everything she makes
• Beauty Without Cruelty cosmetics - Nuff said really
• Russell Kane - The most beautiful man in the world
• TaraStarlet clothing - I bum everything on this site

You'll be hearing plenty more about the lovely Russell Kane, I assure you. I stalk him a little bit.
