I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Jacket – Balmain, Dress as top – Alexander Wang, Clutch – Kurt Geiger, Purple waller – Mulberry

Ciao from Florence! Hailed butt, away from rainy wet miserable London mercifully, to spend a few days in the beautiful sunny city of Florence for Luisa Via Roma’s 4th edition of Firenze4Ever, dolled up in pink. Coming up: a LOT of clothes I can only afford if I sold my mother and brother (2 for 1?), enough pink to re-live your Barbie kidhood, and a gaggle of really great people who happen to be bloggers.
