Read…
… the blog Belgian Waffling. I’ve got a problem with other blogs because they make me feel insecure and inadequate. But I can’t not read this blog because it’s so funny and brilliant.
Waffle is an ex-pat in Belgium and she has a sad-looking whippet and two sons, one of whom writes these sort of mad phonetic texts that I can barely read for tears of laughter running down my cheeks.
Buy…
This short moon and star necklace from Hush. I have a mania for necklaces from Hush – they are incredibly useful. This short necklace would layer in a pleasing way with either my long heart or star necklace from previous seasons. It’s the sort of thing that turns an outfit from tomboy/vagrant into acceptable. Also available in gold.
Watch…
… Inside Out, if you didn’t see it in the cinema. Now available on iTunes for £13.99 to buy and £4.49 to rent. We have already watched it about seven times since the weekend. “Who’s your friend that likes to play? BING BONG! BING BONG!”

Thank you for tips. I have just read some of Belgian Waffle and it is excellent/hilarious – but so is your blog! So read those other crap lifestyle-y ones with confidence. I have cried with laughter (and, actually, slight trauma) recognising so much you’ve talked about in both Recipe Rifle and The Spike – although I didn’t know what Brent Cross was (I figured it out) and I’m unlikely to order anything from J Crew (que? I live in Warrington) BUT I still enjoy everything! While I’m here, you should get (or have I missed it?) one of those click things on your website where you can send a link via WhatsApp. I keep cutting and pasting the web address thing to friends in messages – one of those WhatsApp click things would be good idea – so you know your stuff is being shared? Maybe. Does that make sense?

Caroline it is a miracle that I am able to update this blog, WITH PICTURES let alone do a WhatsApp thing. Sorry. I will get on it, I promise. (I don’t.)

Loving your new blog. I loved recipe rifle too but the recipes did make me feel a bit inadequate when I knew that my dinner of choice after getting home from work and wrestling the children into bed was likely to be toast (and not even avocado on toast a la Nigella). I am holding you responsible however for my drop in productivity after introducing me to Belgium Waffling and to Cupcakes and Cashmere (which I tend to read with baffled amusement). Anyway, loving your work. Long may it continue!
