DICKIE

Richard Nicoll's 5th collection for Topshop is dropping this morning. I kind of like it. Nudes (not me naked), a zips, military stylings, 50s detailing and stuff. Technically flattering for the likes of me but that jumpsuit doesn't look like it wants to be friend with my thighs. Dude is amazing though and he's now Creative Consultant for my old employer, Fred Perry's womenswear. Genius.

Heading to Oxford Circus for lunch/beef with the Jerk so will have a little try and report back. Feeling trim as Waitrose Essentials Bourbons Creams....not my belly's friends. I'll leave it at that.

NO TIGERS IN AFRICA

This frankly beautiful/kitsch/buff image was actually shot in California. I was convinced it was Africa but I guess the elephant had something to do with that.

This was my attempt in 2007. Everyone who knows me knows two things: I love babies and I love babies in ahimal headgear.

So i'm going to try and update more often (i know, i know). I never thought i'd utter this hateful phrase of the blogosphere but I owe it at least to anyone who might even glance at this even now and again to update now and again.

So I'll put up a few more pics of my thicker self, and the food i've been making (which has been LOTS) to get the 'cooksgood' side of things back up as well as all the stuff I'm liking at the moment. I've really been letting my streetwear game slip as I felt like I was growing out of it or something but there are still a few bits (old and new) that are kind of inspiring/covetable. It's usually menswear but i'll still be posting it because to be honest, I kind of like dudes clothes better (from all the years it wasn't optional).

STILL OBSESSED

I Haven't moved on. Found an almost EXACT alternative to the Robert... boots I posted about way back in October. Carvela..AGAIN. £120, come sale time the blue AND the beige will be all mine. BUFF.com

Calf and thick thigh friendly, these hotties look ace with EVERYTHING (i wear). That means shorts, chinos, mini-dresses and A-line mini skirts. Preppy

Why no-one else on the high-street has had the gumption to do a crepe-wooden soled heeled desert boot is beyond me. I expected more...from Office and Topshop.

Boo Hiss.

UNBEWEAVEABLE!

My homie Anu has just launched a website for ALL your hair weave needs! She got a bit sick of middle aged Pakistani men trying to push wack-attack hair weaves on her, sister decided to do it for herself and I salute her! The website has everything you need to keep your hair game on lock and there's plenty more to come.


Check out: www.theweaveboutique.com (bookmark it playerette!) and check out the blog. I just wrote the inaugural entry and it's gong to be updated on the regs with the latest black hair care news, gossip and general 411 from that long-awaited UK perspective (no London-centric).

It's going to be HUGE.
