Where on Earth does one find a good bum bag?

Continuation of the festival theme here. I went to Reading and had a trusty bum bag from Pound World that served me very well throughout the festival but unfortunately didn't make out the other end.

I'm on the hunt for a noo 'un and haven't had a lot of luck so far. My first obvious port of call was Topshop but theirs aren't really that hot.



Comes in white too.

Watch this space. I shall report back with findings of interest.

Booties

So I'm on the hunt for festival gear for the summer. Everyone ideally would like to look like Kate Bosworth at Coachella:



But in general that doesn't happen for us normal folk. I did spy these Vivienne Westwood wellies on Coggles.com today though so if I did fancy turning up to Secret Garden or Latitude in £75 booties, I could. I reck they'd be a bit out of place though:

MGMT

I was uber excited to hear a while back about MGMT's new album Congratulations. It came out last week Wednesday I think and I've been listening to it on repeat on mipod ever since. Not bored yet.

Here's Flash Delirium:

Catchachoo

Anyone up for a good ol' steeplechase? I'm not sure how busy this will get, but if you fancy some new Jimmy Choo trainers get involved with this competition. Click here for the Twitter updates or here if you're backward and still on Facebook.
Yum.

The North Circular

I enjoy Lily Cole, she's really beautiful, looks amazing pretty much all of the time, she's a model with big boobs and she does all this whilst still fitting in uni at King's College Cambridge. I'd say that's quite inspirational.

So why not launch a knitwear range hand made by all her favourite granny recruits in the UK? Why not indeed. Cue The North Circular. My mother is a knitting machine, I never really got into it to be honest but I slightly wish I had now esPECially after seeing that one of the beautiful Necklace Scarves goes for £148.

Marjorie

Last weekend I trekked down to Forest Hill (which by the way is bloody miles away and definitely does not count as London if it includes a train to East Croyden and then anOTHer train to Forest Hill’s delightful station) and picked up and paid for a bike that I found on Gumtree. Here it is, I've decided to call it Marjorie.



I don’t think I got ripped off either which is always a lovely thing to behold. So I hadn’t really got a lot of London cycling experience under my allegorical belt apart from carrying said bike up steps at Forest Hill and transferring at East Croyden and getting to Victoria and cycling home from there. This morning however I decided to tackle the bridge and cycle to work. It was really lovely, cycled up the Embankment and over the bridge and then through Battersea Park.



Perhaps not as glamorous as this though. Wouldn’t say no to a Radley bike or those shoes.

MAGazines

I’m going through a bit of a dangerous phase for magazine subscriptions. I can never quite bring myself to subscribe to Vogue because I can buy it anyway and I’d rather do it that way than wait for Royal Mail and pocket money seems more wisely spent in small doses.
POP has just received nearly 24 of my best British Pounds for four issues over a year. Money well spent I think. These ones are a little harder to come by in Sainsbury’s so won’t be tempted to pre-empt Royal Mail in their delivery.



Next on my list is biannual AnOther Magazine. £25 for two is a bit steep I think though. It sounds amazing and I really want it but I’ve got to be a bit careful about spending loads of money. This is the link for subscription. This is the link for AnOther's site; I think this and Pop are in the same boat, maybe the same publishing house.



Then there’s also Volt for £8 an issue. I can’t seem to find it as a running subscription which is a bit irritating but here is the link to the per issue page. I can’t find out how often it runs either but I assume biannually.
