OLD HABITS

VINTAGE RABBIT SKIN, LEOPARD PRINT.

ARE THERE ANY SWEETER WORDS TO BE USED TOGETHER IN DESCRIBING A HAT? CAN IT GET BETTER?

WHY YES FRIENDS, IT CAN: ADD A £5 PRICE TAG, THROW IN SOME GROSGRAIN FOR GOOD MEASURE, AND LETS CALL IT CHRISTMAS.

THANK YOU CHARITY SHOP, OUR NEW CHAPEAU IS JUST WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU, LOVE HAPPENS WHEN YOU AREN'T LOOKING FOR IT. LIKE MAYBE YOU'RE JUST POTTERING ABOUT BUYING LIGHT BULBS AND TOILET PAPER AND BOOM! YOU GET TOTALLY SWEPT OFF YOUR FEET BY SOME DIVINE MADE IN ITALY DIME PIECE.

AND IN CASE ONE NEEDED FURTHER INSPIRATION, 

(AS ITS MONDAY, AND MONDAY REQUIRES EXTRA INSPIRATION AS WELL AS EXTRA ESPRESSO)

A FEW SPOTTED AND DOTTED FROM SOME GREATEST HITS.

LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD:

KEITH'S JACKET, SOME EXPLODED LEOPARD TO COVET

 ALEXA'S HEADGEAR

THE BEAUTIFUL, THE TRAGIC EDIE 

BOHEMIAN HOSTESS DULCIE DREAMER IN A CRAZY GETUP WE WISH WE OWNED

(FOR LOUNGING AND STUFF)

OUR OWN LOVE OF LEOPARD HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED; ALIX OF BOHEMIA VITA DRESS, ABOVE AND THE FAITHFUL ICON TREWS ON ISABELLE, BELOW.

GETTING OVER EXCITED IN SOME SHOES AND TREWS AT LANE CRAWFORD

VERUSCHKA AND SPOTS

PRETTY SURE WE NEED NO FURTHER ENCOURAGEMENT.

BUT IF WE DID, WE'D RUN OUT AND BUY THESE FANTASTICO VIVIER BOOTS.

LEOPARD SOLES FOR A SPOTTED SOUL:

HOSEN IN THE HAUS

IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE BOHEMIAN-BAVARIAN RELATIONS, WE HOSTED A LITTLE DINNER IN THE HIPPIE HAUS IN HONOUR OF DARLING NILS, WHO WAS MUNICH BOUND.

WE LOVE AN EXCUSE FOR A CROWD AROUND THE TABLE, AND ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROAST THINGS STUFFED WITH CHEESE.

AND IT WAS SO, CROSTINI, STUFFED LEMONS AND BOUILLABAISSE FOR GATHERING OF HUNGRY MEN AND THE BEAUTIFUL SARANNA.

THE GIRLS WERE OUTNUMBERED, SURE. BUT WE GENERALLY LIKE TO STACK THE ODDS IN OUR FAVOUR. 

AND FOR THE BAVARIANS, WE WORE THE BRIGITTE. BECAUSE WE ARE STILL ON OUR DOT TANGENT, AND WE DO LIKE A BIT OF ALLITERATION, AS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN. WE WANTED TO WEAR OUR HIPPIE HOSEN BUT REALLY, WHO KNOWS WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE. AND ITS VERY HARD TO COOK IN A DIRNDL. YOU CAN SEE WE WERE GETTING PRETTY WORKED UP OVER THE WHOLE THING. 

WE HAD AMBITIONS OF MAKING AN APPLE TART TATIN, WHICH WE TOTALLY DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR 

(WE LOST THE WILL WHEN THE WINE WAS POURED)

SO FOR DESSERT, WE HAD AMARETTI BISCUITS AND HATS ALL AROUND. 

BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME TO OUR HOUSE, YOU GENERALLY HAVE TO WEAR A HAT AT SOME POINT IN THE EVENING. 

'TIS ONLY POLITE, AND OUR MAMAN RAISED US RIGHT.

AND WE TOTALLY CONVERTED THEM IN THE END- WE GOT ALL HIPPY-DRIPPY AND TALKED ABOUT OUR FEELINGS AFTER OVERDOSING ON MARCONA ALMONDS.

MAYBE IT WAS THE LOVE DRUGS WE SLIPPED IN THE SEAFOOD SOUP?
