Now that I live in a blissfully man free zone, I am coveting all things girly- less pink and silly, more, just for the hell of it elegance. Like this lovely wire mannequin (just begging to be decked with all kinds of ribbon tied vintage fripperies!) from Fair & Weathered – another scrumptiously gorgeous British company run by one Phillipa Fairweather, a women in possession of a collection of loveliness we definitely don’t need, but covet with all our might….
In the meantime please make me stop buying leopardskin washing up brushes. I am not Bet Lynch in Mariolds. And a bit of decorum in all aspects of my life wouldn’t go amiss….

Hi Alison, This TK Max sounds like a must. Does anybody know if they have them in the States as I will be visiting there in September? I agree, those mannequins are divine and if you want to do your washing up with a brush with leopard spots on, who cares less! If it makes you feel good, go for it. When I was going through a rought spot, my counsellor said to me to do one nice thing for myself a day. Even if it was just to shave my legs (ridiculous I know) or buy a bunch of flowers. It did work and also having music on is supposed to keep you in an upbeat mood. Thinking of you. Petah
