Lady Grinning Soul
Alexander McQueen Resort 2013
Honestly, the first collection I have really loved from the label since Sarah Burton took over.
Mid 70's Bowie inspired with art-deco patterns.

Seasons Pass
Autumn slowly approaches. The leaves are changing colours, the sun is setting earlier, and I have the penchant to listen to more "wintery" music, such as the likes of Interpol.
"It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is that you're in love with someone else
It should be me. Oh, it should be me
Sacred parts, your get aways
You come along on summer days
Tenderly, tastefully
And so may, we make time
Try to find somebody else
This place is mine
You said today, you know exactly how I feel
I had my doubts little girl
I'm in love with something real
It could be me, that's changing!
And so may, we make time
To try and find somebody else
Who has a line
Now season with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long ending fast
Oh, how I love you
And in the evening, when we are sleeping
We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping
And so may, we make time
We try to find somebody else
Who has a line
Now season with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long ending fast."

The enchantment
"On July 26, 1968, Mick Jagger flew from Los Angeles to London for a birthday party thrown in his honor at a hip new Moroccan-style bar called the Vesuvio Club—“one of the best clubs London has ever seen,” remembered proprietor Tony Sanchez. Under black lights and beautiful tapestries, some of London’s trendiest models, artists, and pop singers lounged on huge cushions and took pulls from Turkish hookahs, while a decorative, helium-filled dirigible floated aimlessly about the room. As a special treat, Mick brought along an advance pressing of the Stones’ forthcoming album, Beggars Banquet, to play over the club’s speakers. Just as the crowd was “leaping around” and celebrating the record—which would soon win accolades as the best Stones album to date—Paul McCartney strolled in, and passed Sanchez a copy of the forthcoming Beatles single “Hey Jude/Revolution,” which had never before been heard by anyone outside of Abbey Road Studios. Sanchez recalled how the “slow, thundering buildup of ‘Hey Jude’ shook the club”; the crowd demanded that the seven-minute song be played again and again. Finally, the club’s disc jockey played the flip side, and everyone heard “John Lennon’s nasal voice pumping out ‘Revolution.’” “When it was over,” Sanchez
said, “Mick looked peeved. The Beatles had upstaged him.”

On the Road Again
The September Playlist. Almost on schedule. This playlist showcases exactly how I feel about my favourite month- The beginning is hot and sunny, perfect weather to cruise and go on road trips as most of the tourists have headed back to the real world. Then suddenly the leaves begin to change, the sun sets earlier and I continue to seek nature. The end of the month really is the last day of magic. You know they are the final days of true bliss, before the dreaded winter appears. I genuinely love September.
