A 1920's flapper girl!
I even managed to dig out a cigarette holder that I bought years ago, so I can smoke in style!

Autumn sky in London
Took this photo of the afternoon sky,
I love the sky in autumn, there are such beautiful and dramatic clouds.
Looks like a painting..

Sniff sniff sniff
I have a horrible cold at the moment.
I just feel awful, and want to be in bed all day :(
I'm pretty heavily medicated, (can you OD on strepsils?!) but back at work.
People were edging away from me on the tube this morning, and I'm trying not to breathe on anyone.
I don't think I have swine flu- but how do you know?!

ICA last night
I went to the ICA last night for the 'real people do the catwalk' event.
There was a catwalk show with models of all sizes, ages and ethnicities, then a debate about the 'size-zero' issue.
There were lots of interesting points made, although sadly, I think that there isn't much you can do to change the attitudes of some people in the fashion industry, but as the point was made last night, it stretches further than that;
All through the media we are shown images of the way we should look, and bombarded with skinny, tanned white girls as our role models.
Magazines declare women too fat, then too thin, then back again. Not only is it unhealthy, but also really confusing as to what is 'expected of us'.
Its also sad that straight men are shown these unreal images of women, that none of us can live up to, and it becomes what they are attracted to.
We all need to love the differences between us, life would be boring if we all looked the same!
I think that models should be real, diverse and overall...healthy.

Budapest
Back to work after my break in v.cold but lovely Budapest.
There was a biting icy wind when we were there, but thankfully we had a lovely thermal pool and spa to come back to in the hotel.
I loved the architecture in the city, but I wasn't a massive fan of the food
way too meat-heavy for a veggie!)
Sad to be back!

but I actually kind of love them!
