friday love list: the empire waist strikes back.
My top officially decided today would be a good day to get hooked up in my foundational garments without me noticing UNTIL I STOOD UP ON THE TRAIN IN FRONT OF NINE MEN.
Well, hello stomach! How are you? QUICK EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW WHITE IT IS!
OH, YOU’VE BEEN BLINDED? SORRY.
That’s the kind of beginning my day had, and it’s gone spectacularly from there. Heh.
I’ve actually been sick all week with a really weird cough-sinus issue combo, so I haven’t felt motivated to do much of anything except make hairball sounds and try to avoid walking into things when I got dizzy.
(I don’t know what my inner ear has against me, but it’s totally in on the vendetta with the underwire in my bra.)
I. Need. Love.
You. Do. Too.
So let’s get on it.
(Please leave your own love list in the comments, or link it for us if you put it up at your blog!)

“The majesty and power of espresso
“Fresh Moleskines”
Thus are many great poems born. :)

Okay so you love belly laughs, but the whole first part of this post says otherwise. Is that too cool to be a coincidence or what?
:)

a great weekend spent in the mountains with three great friends.
“wait, wait…don’t tell me!” podcasts on my iphone.
afternoons spent with a book and the perfect cup of tea.

The sound of a wave as it retreats over shingle and pebbles.
The fact that a Rolex keeps rotten time.
Ludovicio Eindaudi and his Yamaha Grand.
The underfoot crunching noise when walking on freshly fallen snow.
Laughing helplessly at myself as I fall over yet again whilst learning to snowboard.
The smile on my girlfriend’s face when I pick her up from the airport.
Unexpected kisses at unexpected moments.
Walking on Crosby beach in Merseyside amidst Anthony Gormleys ‘Another Place’

This is a link to a continuing four-part series on things I like. The next post will list smells I like. Can’t wait? Well, my favourite smell is freshly-ground coffee.
