2. Where I will purchase Merci linen bedlinen - it's really overpriced but I haven't seen anything else that compares to its overdyed slubby gorgeousness, so what can you do.
3. A one day course at Nikon to tame the beast that is my camera.
4. I would really like this Mociun ring, but even better I would like to find a ring like the Mociun ring in London or Paris that's not as expensive.
6. A ticket to Lisbon, including some time at the coast somewhere (maybe Estoril?) you can sit on a beach, swim in the sea and that's not tacky or too touristy. Preferably paid for by a travel writing assignment. (Am I getting too cocky now?)
7. A suntan - and fast, whichever way. You will understand that in India one covers one's entire body with clothing and in 50 degree c heat smothers exposed areas (face, hands) in sunblock. But there are shorts that need wearing here and a tanned face and milky white body just looks odd.
8. A ticket to Field Day Festival and the knowledge of what time Phoenix are on so I can just turn up for them.
9. That the about to be re-named Le Bouton makes this linen dress in grey again for summer. I've been dreaming about it since last year - I think that means I'm allowed to get it.
i've been dreaming about that ring too and have wondered how feasible it would be to get one made...?
ReplyDeletewelcome baaaaaaack!
omg what fab list! i too want/need this list...
ReplyDelete2 things...whilst in a book store i rubbed budha's tummy anddddd i bought a lotto ticket. ;) do you think this will help?
..I know Pheonix are great but seriously Field Day? Don't do it...I'm geting horrible flash backs of the last time I made that mistake!
ReplyDeletecharlotte - we should investigate this possibility!
ReplyDeleteIf Jane - I think turning your attention to these things makes a difference.
ephemerette - precisely! I'd preferably like to be helicoptered in and out for Phoenix's set, which I could maybe watch from a private box.
would love to see images of the linen!
ReplyDeleteBeklina me too. I've seen it in the shop, they've got all colours but when I searched online there aren't any images of it anywhere so you'll have to wait until I have it in my possession!
ReplyDeleteIndia, Paris, Portugal ... Jet set girl!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving all the wonderful pictures, mini travel tales and looking forward to a lot more. Did you buy textiles, jewellery? I would have smuggled a few kittens back to the UK. Hahaha
JS - weirdly, because India and the UK have such a connection, most of the stuff I saw was exactly the same as what you could buy in Portobello or somewhere - for the same prices, or even cheaper or certainly somewhere like the shops in Southall. Or in Accessorize (cheaper)! It was really strange! I bought a dhoti (long 4m cotton sarong that men wear as formal wear) and that bracelet which was handmade though...oh and a mahogany spoon. I was more inspired by looking, always looking at the people (and cats obvs)
