notes for march
James Bowden
- As I count down to my trip in April, I'm subtly dressing like I'm going to be barefoot in the sand every day. Slouchy t-shirts, with long skinny sleeves that cover my arms to the knuckles, the way I like it after a day in the sun. Flip-flops or flat sandals. I disguise all this with a blazer at work.
- I really like the Massimo Dutti spring collection – full of the things they do well, like chunky knits in cotton-linen, lightweight partially-lined blazers, soft ballet flats. Warm weather staples.
- That great fall collection by Dries Van Noten. Every few years I see a runway collection that I actually relate to, and this is one of them.
- I’m still listening to Feist every day. I saw her live last month and she was a master class in performing live – no banal reproductions of what's in the albums. She banters, riffs on her songs, makes you feel great to be there. I can’t recommend her most recent album "Metals" enough. Check out this video.
- More randomly, Middle Earth, here I come! A very good friend of mine who lives in New Zealand is getting married in December, and a bunch of us will take the opportunity to make a road trip to look for hobbit holes.
- Speaking of fantasy, the Simpsons' "Game of Thrones" intro . Love "The Couch".

Maja H: Can't wait to hear all about your April :)
New Zealand, how exciting! You might actually be there for the premiere of The Hobbit, it's in December and the world premiere will be in NZ.
I clicked the link and checked Massimo Dutti's things but I really shouldn't... March has been filled with good shopping.
Grinned and laughed out loud in front of the Simpsons GoT pastiche intro! Thanks!
I didnt know the premiere was the end of this year! But I hope it doesnt mean we'll spend our holiday with an extra-big flood of other LOTR lovers.
Aissa: It definitely is. Travel is where all my money disappears to but I don't regret it ever.
Love how random and yet spot on The Simpsons are.
Amanda: Yes, which is why I must make the most of this trip. The cost from Singapore is higher than flying to Europe, and it's a shorter flight!
Joy: Thanks! Speaking of Sherlock, I've started on the series. But trying to save them for weekends or else I will end up staying up all night!
slouchy tees will always have a space in my closet :)
Also, I love the Massimo Dutti collection - they are new to me. I got more inspiration on pairings for my leather jacket, too. :)
miss sophie: Me too, a DVN piece is something I dream off.
LN: Hope to see how some of that inspiration works out over on your blog!
That must have been so fun for your friend! My friend is very petite and thought she would make a good hobbit but we agreed that there are no Chinese-looking hobbits...
