I caught up with a long lost friend today. And she had a great new purse


We strolled down a blustery Shepherd's Bush Market, and resisted temptation from every sparkly, sequined corner. Why this child's outfit doesn't come in grown up sizes is beyond me:

More beads sparkled away on veils attached to hair slides:

I wish there was someway of wearing a feather bower, cos they really speak to me on some level

These SOMALI and BARBIE necklaces, less so

I did however get one small keepsake from the trip. A little ring which I was subsequently told looks like a mobile phone

Very hard to leave unadorned from the market.
