"The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great, that I thought I was in a dream."
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road






Vintage Floral Dress, Vintage Waist-Coat, Pendants: Topshop, Asos & Vintage


Back home. Finally. We travelled all night. Half 10 pm to half 9 am. Oucchh. I barely slept, was captivated by On The Road, by Jack Kerouac. Finished it on the plane. Wow, what a book. It makes me want to jump in the car and go on a spontaneously crazy road trip. There is nothing more relaxing than some music and a long highway road, just letting all your thoughts roll off the music and off into the horizon.


INSPIRATION:
that I wandered across while cooling my sun beaten skin in Egyptian Hotel Rooms-




i have already bought my suspenders on ebay....(frances, if you wear your long skirt to the Durham bus station...ill wear these babies? Can you imagine the mayhem we would cause?!)




you are related to one of my favourite writers: Ernest Hemingway...and you look painfully cool with a cigarette: Dree, marry me?




these girls make me miss my friends in England: see you guys on Tuesday!


Anyway, more tomorrow I promise, I have tea to drink, Keats poetry to read and a big double bed to crash in. All in All, Egypt was amazing. I am going to get to all my emails and lovely comments asap, cross my fashion heart.

I love hearing about your travels. You describe evry detail so well, I can almost feel the sweat on my back and the diet coke on my lips.I love the lace corset picture-I want one, and your aviators /cropped shorts/blazers are my favourite things that you wear.
