This november, I wish to...

*Martin Pisotti

1. Wear glittery shoes indoors. Go to lots of parties, have mulled wine (and champagne)

*Stuart McKenna

2. Get on a Caledonian sleeper and wander in the Scottish highlands, wearing my softest cashmere scarf from Island of Islay, embracing the crisp winter wind

*Neëst*

3. Cuddle a cat to sleep

*Inès ☆

4. Dream of Monet's Giverny

p.s. None of the above is going to be realised any time soon, but at least I am going to Cambridge this weekend for formal dinner at Trinity College and a long stroll along River Cam, hopefully in the glorious autumnal light, camera in hand...

My one and only wish now is to

Have a new nose.

"Allergic rhinitis, pollenosis or hay fever is an allergic inflammation of the nasal airways. It occurs when an allergen such as pollen or dust is inhaled by an individual with a sensitized immune system, and triggers antibody production. The specific antibody is immunoglobulin E (IgE) which binds to mast cells and basophils containing histamine. IgE bound to mast cells are stimulated by pollen and dust, causing the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine (and other chemicals)."

An Ideal Dwelling

My idea of the dream house - it will be flooded with light and small plants and jazz music and bird songs and aroma of fresh cut flowers. There will be books, old and new, all scattered around the place. My parents will come for tea on weekends and we will walk around the market; then we will prepare a full-blown dinner for family friends. I will cook, and my boyfriend will pick the wine.

But location of the house? Yet to be known.

To-do 2011

1. go to New York, picnic in Central Park, stroll in Brooklyn, party in Williamsburg.

2. wear simple jumpers and read difficult books.

3. go to Paris and eat at Montmartre - in the cat restaurant.

4. Learn to play a few tunes on the uke.

5. Do great, surprising things, spread love, make myself breathless.

after seeing it transiently on topshop site and Garance Dore's blog, i still cannot take my mind off this beautifully cut, perfectly beige coat (look at those buttons, so luxe!) - now if only i know where to get it... how come it's never on the topshop site/shop anymore, pourquoi pas?

i wouldn't mind
