On The Road

I'm anxiously awaiting the new 'On the Road' bar the whole Kristen Stewart debarcle which has somewhat tarnished it.  Jack Kerouc's beatnik, alcohol and sex fuelled journey through America is my favourite piece of writing.  I love his descriptions of the tiniest details and only wish I had the ability to capture people and experiences the way he did. 

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars"

Doctor, Doctor...

I got a bad case of loving you...

Yep it's the bag style of the season and whilst they look super chic on the catwalk my only concern on catching a ride on the 'doctor tote wagon' was how to incorporate it into my style.  So here's an idea on what I'd wear, a kind of transeasonal look too with all this weird weather and I love the crop down boots with the silver embellishment, a definite item on this week's wish list!

1. Grey Jumper Kain £305 Net-a-Porter

2. Black leather Bag Zara £89.99 Zara

3. Rust Jacket Chalayan £1060 Net-a-Porter

4.Silver Necklace Hannah Martin £330 Hannah Martin

5. Black leather boots Jeffrey Campbell £105 Office

6. Cut off denim shorts Ksubi £135.50 Ksubi

An apology

Sorry I've been rather distant lately - it's not you, it's me!

I've been rather swept up in Olympic Mania as of late and whilst I love celebrating the achievements of Team GB I realise I 've neglected my blog somewhat.  Hopefully you won't hold it against me as I have a beautiful video of Freja Beha Erichsen in the new Zara A/W campaign which should keep you sweet.

I promise to be more loving and commit more time to you, my Coverred readers.

Surf

So my little sister has taken to Kite Surfing -  the sport, the life and the people.  She lives down in Bournemouth these days and after a weekend spent with her I can see why she loves it so much.  Now I know these aren't kite surfing images but they do encapsulate the 'life through an instagram lense' that I imagine when I think of California, surfing and the hazy days of 70's beach bums.

(and on that note, wish I had a beach bum like the one above!)

Wild Leaves

As the campfire's burning

As the fire ignites

All the moments turning

In the stormy bright

Well enough the churning

Well enough believe

The coming and the going

Wild wild leaves

Innocence

Morning all - a little Wednesday inspiration post for you.  I like the innocence of these images - like the subject has been caught unawares or you've taken a picture that didn't turn out as you expected but better!

Working on ideas for anothe patti Smith inspired post so keep your eyes peeled.

 Have a peaceful wednesday!

Margaux Lonnberg

She's long been recognised in the blogging world for her great inspo posts and photography capturing her envious Parisian lifestyle, so it's no wonder Margaux Lonnberg has made the move into designing.  With a range of  oversize t-shirts that have become  this lithe beauty's trademark  you'll be wanting to grab one of each in each colour.  But hold your horses you can't shop the collection untill Thursday and I'm first in line.

Margaux Lonnberg goes live here Thursday 12th July 2012
