I’m in Italy right now. I taught last weekend in a place called Sasso Marconi outside of Bologna, and now I’m relaxing for a few days with my friends Silvia and Bruno in Genova. Though I’m not really taking advantage of being in wonderful Italy (I’m taking the downtime to try to get my business in order, so I’m spending most of my time on my laptop), still it’s always so great to be here! The Italians are wonderful (and crazy!), the pesto is so good here in Genova, and when we watched the first Italian World Cup match the other night, we could hear the crowds roaring outside. Viva Italia!

Oh so wonderful helmets from Les Ateliers Ruby, oh so out of my price range. The plain black or plain white, with the visors, are both sexy, or I love the circus stripes. One day…

These vintage teardrop caravans are essentially a bed for two, with wheels, possibly with a small cupboard and shelf or two, but that’s pretty much it inside. Ahh, but so darling!

This one’s a flashback! One of my favourite photographers, Tim Walker, for US Vogue way back in 2005, with model Karen Elso as a crazy cat lady, with a killer vintage wardrobe…
