This one is for you.
It’s not full of tragic whimsy, just full of sentiment and luck.
It takes a lot to find the people you can stand in a club with because you’re just too drunk to move.
Or who will stroke your arm when you’re too hungover to tell them to stop. Or get the rainmaker out. Or remind you that you ARE actually quite fun.
But more than that, falling asleep, three...

Hallowe'en
This time a year ago I was a victim of Patrick Bateman.
This time two years ago I was at a storming houseparty in SF, breaking the flat with various zombies, cops, disney characters…It was also huge in an inexplainable way.

Summer
It is so hot right now in London. Sunshine makes me happy so I’ve been having a really good week.
I went for dinner with some really great friends, tapas, sangria and my new nickname ‘Boobs’ mingled with the heavy London late summer air. I laughed so much, rib-aching, belly-sore laughter and I haven’t felt like that in ages.
I am tired beyond words but I really feel...

This weekend was busy.
Gorgeous wedding on Friday night filled with cupcakes, polaroids and fairylights in jam jars. Seeing the bride and groom together made me realise that there’s a special kind of love individual to each person. Weddings are definitely my favourite occasion.
I got the train, quietly hungover, down to London the following day. Curry, Brick lane, booze was a good way to...
