Been one of those evenings where I’m so tired but can’t actually sleep. And don’t. And then become un-tired*. So un-tired that I can’t sleep, and a vicious cycle occurs. And I really had to note down these random musings of mine before I forgot them and passed out drooling over my laptop.

1. Is it strange that I want to replace my wardrobe for clothing rails? have thought this for a year or so now. Gonna order one from ikea right this second (or remove my mother’s evening dresses from the rail in the guest room and steal that one instead..but that one is white…I want a silver one).

2. I have just decided that my new style/lady crush is Shala Monroque. If you don’t know, google.

3. I wish I could read Japanese so I could read Vogue Nippon online. My internet translator thingy is so slow. Hang on, my brother does…although I doubt he’ll be willing to oblige to weekly vogue readings.

4. I have discovered 3 of the tops I bought in the American Apparel rummage have holes in. Oh well, strategic positioning/creating extra holes will solve that problem in no time. They collectively cost about 14 quid so I shan’t complain.

5. I need more oversized gemmy* (*I know these are not real words) cocktail rings – preferably those YSL ones Rumi Neely has. Aww, she has everything I want! I also rreaaaallly want that Alexander McQueen knuckleduster and the matching bag. Damn it!

6. I am in the wrong city.

7. Something is attempting to break through from under my skin and surface in the middle of my forehead. I will not call it a spot as I do not wish to tempt fate. It must be some kind of ladybird or a drawing pin under there.

8. I have a sore throat. I need a Strepsil but I only have Fox’s mints to hand. So far, as expected, they’re not working.

9. I need more shoes in my life. Want some fluffy ones. Louboutins preferably. I have decided that this is year of the shoe.

10. I really need to start washing my vintage before putting them in my wardrobe. The attic smell is starting to offend neighbouring  clothes and they’re going to start to complain soon.

11. A cushion just fell on the floor. I think I have too many cushions and pillows on my bed. Brings to minds that scene in that Jennifer Anniston/Ben Stiller movie where she makes him stab the unecessary pillows. I forget which one. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know which I mean. Is 8 too many?

12. That reminds me, I need to see that Tom Ford movie before it finishes.

13. I have just realised Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason has been repeated on my dvd player 4 times. I’m not even watching it.

Bloody Hell. What time is it??!! OK. Bedtime.

Disclaimer: please be aware that it is late, I am tired and therefore the above probably makes little sense. But it is, after all, my blog and I will write what I please.
