Clueless; Screencaps courtesy of Leave Me the White

Clueless is the perfect entertainment while finger dancing through mohair and needles, sloshing down gallons of English Breakfast tea despite it’s waay past breakfast (peeing like Seabiscuit). I noticed that despite the movie being filmed in 1995, Cher’s costume is all so timeless. The sheer shirts reminded me of Karl Lagerfeld’s masterful use of sheer in his collections, repeatedly throughout numerous seasons.

I’ve purchased some black silk chiffon from Clothhouse the other day and was wondering what to do with it until I bumped into this. I’ve ordered white silk chiffon as well through ebay (buy here) too for some white sheer ‘pants’. Can’t wait to complain that sewing chiffon is indeed hell in a tanningbooth.

I’ll be adding answers to 4 questions per post from tomorrow onwards so that you won’t have to read through the whole thing at once. They’ll be gradually added onto the Q&A (originally FAQ) page on the right, just CTRL+F to find your name and the question you asked! Thanks again for the brilliant questions, I really love this interactive atmosphere.

So the temperature plummeted as if hit with recession and we’re back to the postcard image of drippydrab London with umbrellas screwdrived into our skullcaps. Hey, I did say English summer rolled in and then right back out early this year. The British weather forecast is like the slots, ding ding ding you got Clouds, Sun and Tsunami. Ok maybe not a tsunami but since light snow counts as a natural disaster here we’ll swap that one in – and Rain, Rain, Rain is hardly a jackpot.

Anyway, you know I have nothing much to say when I start out a post with the weather. Truth is, it was bright out when I started knitting today and I look up now it’s dark – I look down again and I’ve only done a hand’s length. I say this now, this will probably be done around, meh…say… August, so you might as well forget about it for the time being.

First of all, thank you so much for all the questions you left on the last post. My blackberry chirps whenever I get a comment and today it was a day-long chirping and tweeting symphony. It really makes my day – the questions are so good too, let me just answer one – has anyone told you you look like Sun from Lost?: Well yes indeed I have been told by numerous people, but only ever online. I told Ellen about this a few weeks ago and all she could say was erm no? If she says no, it’s a no. I kinda see where you’re getting the idea but naaah, she has a whole different vibe. I’ve been told I look like Irina Lazareanu and Hyoni Kang as well so I may as well look like Jack Black. (In fact, on some days I do.)

Anyway, rest for later! Still taking questions for those who might want to take advantage of this and lunge a homework essay question on me – eg. What were the main causes of the Cold War? Discuss.

Just a status update really:

• I received the ASOS Two-tone tights that I mentioned a few posts back, I’m thinking of wearing the black on the front though, oh I’m such a rebel. (ASOS is having 50% sale now btw)
• Finally started to knit the wannabe Rodarte dress – I decided to go for 10mm and 15mm needles so that the whole thing goes faster. Unsure if I have enough yarn though.
• I didn’t mention this, but I bought this maxi dress from Black Luna Vintage ebay store and loving how it’s so hands-on art studio-y. Still trying to find a good way of bringing it out into daylight.
• Realised that this is my 101st post, making the Q&A post my 100th, what a coincidence. Woohoo free kinder eggs for everyone!

Everybody having a good evening? Good morning to those East of me.

So the first Nicholas Kirkwood knockoffs have surfaced.

Did I tell you, I went to the London Kirkwood sample sale (75% discount) a few months ago and walked out empty handed? I must’ve had a orange peel for a brain that day.

(These gojane versions aren’t really for me though)
