This Doesn't Hurt At All

'The Hurts - Wonderful Life'

It's videos like this that make me wish I was everything from the creative director, the musicians, the dancers, the stylist, everything. It must stem from my creative instinct to be in the middle of beautiful things, even though I'm usually NOT in the middle of beautiful things...not lately, it's all so boring, grey and lifeless. There goes my typical London winge. It's really not that bad...I must say though there's nothing hurtful about the HURTS (but they do look a little like Bros.)

Hurts

C'est Cheap et Chic

M

...is for Me Me. C'est tres chic. The cute couple at Alphabet Bag have clearly realised the narcissistic need to tell the world our name (or in this case part of it) by making these simple yet bold alphabet bags. It is an extremely cute example of "the little nice things make all the difference" and it'll have many wondering, either for it's meaning or your name. It'll add a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to an average outfit and for 10 Great British Pounds it's hard to not purchase one. *I'm also wanting the 'stag' and 'ampersand'.

Keeping Up French

Bonjour
A depiction of me learning French.
Oui, I'm trying to keep up with learning French. Thanks to Michel Thomas I can now say 'quelle impression avez vous de la situation politic et economic en france a presence' with ease (what impression have you of the political and economical situation in France at presence). Or voulez vous dine avec moi ce soir? (would you like to have dinner with me?). I love the word 'quelque chose' (something) and 'demi-vierge' (half virgin). And with the little I already know I can string together pretty useful/useless sentences like 'ou est mon ange?' (where is my angel?), je suis votres (I am yours), je voudrain un verre de vin rouge (I would like a glass of red wine), vous etes parle trop vit pour moi (you are talking to fast for me)....et voila! Je parle peu francias - pour maintenant. (and there you have it! I speak little french - for now).
