Fixer-Upper

Found my dream home! I've always been interested in this run-down club (once also a cinema!), and lately I noticed it's on the market:

...at £850,000. Is that what a wrecked old club in Clapton costs these days? Who'd have thought it. Would probably be more like £1m once I've made it habitable. A good reason to start buying lottery tickets, anyway.

Prada Platforms

Just can't stop looking at them.

Atsuko Kudo - Wonder Cup Puff Sleeve Catsuit

I would actually really really like one of these. Weight loss tips and donations gratefully accepted. In the meantime, I will figure out what kind of shirt I could wear over it to render it suitable for regular evenings out.

Brad Walsh's Knockers

Been cooing over these all morning. (And over cats on gumtree, but that's another story...) I want to stick one on a really long chain, even though I don't wear pendants. Anyway here's Brad Walsh's Etsy shop, he has nice turquoise glass ones too (among others) but what I really want is a turquoise version of the ones above. It looks like you can from his top picture but apparently not.

("More Money Please" isn't that appropriate a tag, I know, but I just lost my job so budgets have had to be cut *sob*)

Skinny Leather Trousers

Given that I have gold, silver, cobalt blue, and black satin trousers tucked away in various drawers at home (and largely forgotten about, I am ashamed to admit. In fact I once spent a couple of hours trawling the shops looking for shiny black trousers, before returning home and discovering I had a pair. In fact two, if you count leggings) - considering all this, you would not think that I am particularly in need of more 'statement trousers'. But you would think wrong, as seen in the post below, and now this - I need some skinny leather trousers. Because really, it doesn't matter how many pairs of trousers you have: if you haven't got leather trousers then you haven't got leather trousers. There is no substitute. Especially not for these babies:

Yowza! So hot. The problem with leather trousers is that you have to spend a fair bit to get the right fit. Also to avoid the seam at the knee where they've sewn the bottom leg part on. Yuk. Although having said that, these Herrlicher ones are only £80. That's less than you might pay for a leather jacket. (Might. I paid £50 for mine, and only cos it had a hood.)        

Religion Metallic Gold Leopard Print Leggings

Okay, I know animal print is pretty tired but METALLIC GOLD!! Plus it would be worn with these, obviously:

God I really need to find myself an approximation of those Chloe boots. Please God! I probably need to be clever about it and make them out of stuff I already have, somehow. Which I think I could do actually but it wouldn't be wedgey. And I do want them wedgey. Else it's not the same, is it? Basically I want them for daytime heels, that you could wear to the park if you wanted, and you can't wear anything but wedges to the park. Clearly.

New Watch

Ideally, I want a Casio calculator watch in white. Just plain white. This, apparently, doesn't happen. So I would like either this:

currently on eBay for £219, or this:


Which is pretty awesome as it is, but still going for £86 with five days left on the auction too! In fact if I could get that second one in white, I'd be over the moon, but I can't see it really. The search continues...

Yes Please


Yes I would very much like one of these, please. $100, so £60, hmmm. Not so bad really. Not if somebody else is paying. I just need to find the right word. And the person to buy it.

Daylight Robbery!

So photo processing costs £8.49 these days, does it?? Jesus christ! I didn't even have any bells and/or whistles! That was standard processing, the longest time they'd let me do it for, smallest size, no CD no nothing! Incidentally, the CD would have cost £3.49 extra - what?? Last I heard it was a quid extra! I need to go to Boots instead, Snappy Snaps is a fucking rip-off. God this is going to be an expensive habit. That's film number one from Berlin, and I've got four more to develop. I still have my 12 unpaid holiday days to deal with next month as well. :(
