This ugly and very busy day is winding itself up with a migraine, so unfortunately I have no evidence of my new coat for you. I wore it with a very plain black dress, and very stern pinstriped jacket, and some austere black pumps. I felt quite formidable, aching head and all.
I have got pictures of gold things though. I concentrate on bright primary colours when I get migraines to try and make my myself a little warmer. I read somewhere that this helps migraines.
It's never worked for me but it's fun to think of yellow things. Like these chips.
And this profoundly uninterested cat I met last week when we were house hunting. He had no enthusiasm at all for the prospect of living near me.
This chair could be called golden if you view it in a low light and you're not wearing your glasses. I love it but sadly it is not what I'd call affordable. I'd would, however, describe it as extremely expensive. And golden.
Cheddar coloured gerberas. Cheese and flowers. A perfect storm.
I actually use this to help with the nausea from migraines. Few things calm my stomach like Vegemite on toast.
Oddly enough I feel a little better. If you know anything about migraines, or actually suffer from them, I'd be mighty interested to hear about it.
The good news is I got some great scarves yesterday while on a business trip. The bad news is I get migraines and I have one tonight. Please forgive me the lateness of my post and forgive me again if the blog becomes unintelligible.
The migraine is unexpected. I used to get several a month but lately it appeared my body forget this because I haven't been afflicted since November. No reason, though, for you not to see my latest photos. My rather splendid spouse offered to take the Saturday shots; I agreed on the condition he make me look like Charlotte Rampling circa 1982. "But you already do," he said without cracking a smile.
Simple Saturday clothes: Levis 504s - pennies on eBay, cotton crochet tunic - on the $29 dollars rack at Sportsgirl, Jacquetta bag by Mulberry and purchased in London, 2007, Birkenstocks via eBay.
I especially love the bag. It is quite the warhorse and has many scars but it has maintained its marvelous milky-plum colour.
You may also notice I'm wearing some jewellery, or in fact guessed that I'm wearing jewellery because I always do.
I'm rather devoted to dress clips and have been known to clip them to any garment. I also set old clip-on earrings to work in the same way.
The pendant is rather special too - a whole chain of little silver roses from the early twentieth century and a very clever silversmith:
And here's a scoop - I've found where the 1970s went and will present proof tomorrow. Hint: they're pretty close to here:
I'll show you the scarves too.
