COME COME COME!! A week on Sunday to our open house , From 10am – 10pm

i KNOW IF YOU TYPPE IN HUMPHRIES AND BEGG INTO GOOGLE IT TAKES YOU HERE SO TYPE IN THE PROPER ADDRESS ABOVE.

While i’m here as i have  been away for a good few weeks – let me show you pictures from the sale we had the other weekend.

A Pea brained picture of monsieur and I, it was a great day though! and we sold lots- which is the most important thing-Our next aim is to get our beautiful linen jackets in to some lovely shops, and we will start a stall hopefully in the end of April on the market.(portobello road) Ill keep you all posted on that one. xxx

At the moment were doing these jackets to order, and we do them in many many colours.

So  a friend of mine Theo Bard – a very clever chap indeed! Puts on a night every monday at the Dalston Boys Club- as  a Western wonderer i’ve been hopeless at making it east for this paticular night, that and the guilt of venturing out for more fun on a Monday night!  but i tell you it is well worth it!

The boys club is an amazing venue – just large enough for a crowd of over 100 i’d say – seated and standing. A great pop up bar with more than one type of good cider! and most importantly a roaring fire! Oh and of coarse well chosen live music!!

Anyway you must must go- it’s a lot of fun! starts about 8.30/ 9ish,  its £3 and every monday night. xxx

Next Saturday the 19th of March we are Launching  our range at the Kensal Flea which will be hald at      Paradise, Kensal Rise. It’s easy to get to from east  on the overground from Dalston kingsland,                  Homerton , Highbury Line, and for everyone west  it’s just up the hill from Portobello/ Ladbroke  Grove. So please come and see, we’ll have mens  linen jackets in a line of lovely strong colours that  we can also take orders on- these are so hot of the  press we’ve yet to take photo’s of them and they all  have beautiful linings, perfect for the summer. We  Have some of our womens dress coats in the  picture. Indian block print smocks for Girls and Shirts for men.

Waist coats and linen dresses for spring summer . All a little bit terrifying but will be good to see what everyone thinks, as we’ve been woking on this for a few months now!

So please spread the word and forward this on, There will be lots of nice bits from Tallulah and Hope , and other labels. come and have lunch and a drink and relax! Ha I’m hopeless at selling things but just come!

Sunday afternoon- the air was damp and the sky a pigeon shade of grey, and the general feeling – drizzly!  but what a perfect afternoon to discover another realm that was stoke newington cemetry, I’ve heard about it for years, even lived up the road on church st for three- but never did I enter those giant brass gates! It was definatly a time for the old hipstomatic!

It’s extraudinary how its been left to get so over grown, it’s like a film set, there are little paths leading from a large derelict church in the middle, it’s a bit of a maze we did manage to circuit the same bit of ground about 4 times.

The Cemetry was built in the 18th century, back when Stoke newington was a village out in the countryside on the edge of london. It was one of the magnificent seven garden cemetries in the london area. Where it was quite fashionable to be burried.

I’ve always thought it weird that some where could be fashionable to be burried but it did seem to be the case in those days – for those of you that haven’t be it’s really amazing a well worth a trip. It’s now a nature reserve and covered in creatures!

On Sat evening i made it to a brief show at the old Aldwych – (i know that’s not how you spell it) tube station -which is just round the corner from somerset house, A guy it turns out who was in the year above me at college called Christopher Raeburn. He does a mix of men and womens wear, mainly outer wear, some interesting printed Anoracks and some nicely detailed felt jackets- well it looked like felt. It was interesting anyway there’s a few pics, blurred again i’m afraid!

His website is www.christopherraeburn.co.uk

What a bloody misserable Saturday morning it is- Events of the day so far have been hectic- i said i’d work in Niche today which is a lovely Antique furniture shop up in Kensal rise.

As I’m sure your all aware – It’s Fashion Week and the air is buzzing with manic preperation for various launch parties and shows, we’ve had endless calls about prop hire and apparently we charge to much – but they can all sod of on such a misserable day, the last thing i wont to be doing is heaving velvet sofas through the rain! My friend rang this morning just as i was leaving the flat and running very late! to see if i fancied coming to a few shows today! but no i’m stuck in the shop!! and ever so chilly- apparently according to Graham Norton who’s irratating voice is blaring out from radio 2 behind me- the rest of the country is covered in snow? Well i’d much prefer it to the RAIN!

But never fear i’m heading to a show this evening – so that’ll be fun- but as i only had a mear 3 mins to prepare an outfit- i wont be looking my best!!

Anyway enough of that! I know what will warm you all up- if your toes are feeling as cold and damp as mine- close your eyes and imagine your here……..

aaaahhh thats better- i can almost feel that hot sand between my toes!

Sorry i do think i must be sounding a little grizzly this morning!!
