Raindrops on roses and brown paper packaging tied up in string..

Carnaby Street: Where it all began


Liberty: Shopping Haven


Lights on Regent Street


Christmas packaging at Starbucks

I've been caught up in the whirlwind of christmas feelings. Material things that make me happy to be in London are -

1> Peppermint mocha at Starbucks in their red christmas take away paper cups. It is Beyond.
2> Lights on Oxford street buzzing with shoppers. Makes me feel like i'm not the only one getting happiness with something pretty sitting in my wardrobe at the end of the day.
3> The 2 nd floor of Liberty. It's gorgeous. Like a boudoir with old french wall paper packaging, delicious soaps doused with olive oil and sprigs of lavender, bubble baths with shimmer foam and mandarin scented candles. Divine.
4> Watching Love Actually. Lovedoes exist. Or doesnt it? Anyway temporarily makes me feel like it does.
5> All I want for christmas is youuu.....Maria Carey. Oh how I hate her music most of the days but this song at this time is mmm nice when combined with Love Actually; Only.
6> Comfort food and red wine.
7> Bridget Jones diaries one and two.
8> Hamleys the toy shop. Thank god they dont do these shops in developing countries or we dont give out toys at Diwali, parents would go crazy with whinning kids.

I know for a fact most people will be miserable, beginning January. Including me. I'll be back from a fantastic break back home. But i'll sulk later.

I am sick of Kate Moss.

I saw Borat at Vue. He is a sexist rascist animal, but sooo funny.

some more updates

I am in Wales, using a Finnish laptop ;) ..when i should be working on a report comparing Kate Moss and Twiggy...please use google for explainations...you should know these people..

Also went for a long long walk with Ville to a little town called Mumbles, didnt meet fairy folk but ate a fairly decent English correction Welsh pub meal of jacket potatoes and beans. (how different the cuisines are! they even have Welsh skimmed milk here, in London i get British skimmed milk) Infact calling the Welsh English is like calling the Finnish Flemish. Also devoured a wonderful chocolate reindeer, fulfilling my Indian post meal sweet tooth craving.

hehe i feel like a sadist.....moondust got busted :P i was feeling miserable i missed it....but yaaay...all my friends went to die and dance to psyc ...while i was listening to bob dylan in my room.... and now who's had the last laugh eh..!

Bought the 90th birthday issue of British Vogue, It is fantastic. Something for keeps...

two mins of fame

I went out for drinks with Arjun Rampal....the ex hot model till he became a sidey movie hero...what the hell i still went out for drinks.....umm ok was not a date...in a filmy group....! Went for oh so fashionable eeky cucumber sushi, sake and tempura to Nobu.....'
Second high was standing outside the victoria and albert museum in the cold, getting quotes from famous people at the British Fashion Awards....I spoke to Vivienne Westwood...who is the creator of punk style and official stylist of the Sex Pistols in the seventies..! She won Red carpet designer of the Year...but ofcourse she had no idea she was even nominated....She said "I dont read magazines or watch news, I just do my own thing". How then I was wondering did she know about the war, considering she was wearing one of her best selling t shirts which yelled...I´m not a terrorist,please dont arrest me!
