TGIFF (Thank God it's Follow Friday, of course)! But as is the nature of my life these days, just because it's the end of the week, doesn't mean my diary's gotten any lighter with a two shoots pending at the weekend and a jam-packed schedule tomorrow. First up, I'm having a tour of Angles the Costumiers legendary costume house, followed by the dreaded meeting with the publisher (not dreaded per se, but convening with authority over your work is always a bit stressful) and then, at long last, a dinner with one of my oldest friends, Spencer, who's back in Europe for the first time in months. All in all, quite the outfit conundrum: I'd be tempted to wear something outlandish and fun to Angels, but not sure how that would go down in the conservative book lined halls of the imposing Bloomsbury building. Thus I've decided on the above as my ideal ingredients: keep the look boho writer from day to night. A lush Erdem dress in a rich violet, teamed with a chiffon drapey vest and chunky Chloe tote takes care of the whole folklore aspect which to me seems suitable for both perusing the depths of a 170-year-old film and fantasy costume warehouse as well as turning up at Bloomsbury's door. That is to say, I'm beginning to suspect that publishers think all writers squirrely gypsies willing to starve for their art, so I may as well play into that stereotype. Just hold the starving.

For when I trot off to meet Spencer when the day's duties are done, these Alexander Wang wedges in funky cheetah print funk things without having to schlep around in heels all day or tote them along in a spare bag. The YSL cuff has the same effect, adding an extra element of posh and glamour to an otherwise very laidback daytime look.
