Every time I see the smiles of women like Lauren Hutton, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger I find myself wishing for a little gap between my two front teeth. Am I the only one? Forget braces, these ladies’ smiles are tops in my book.

This large signed silk screen print is of a hand drawn (wow) map of the world. Created by Oliver Jeffers (great name, right?) for The Royal We, the print is not only charming, but also “comes with 202 pins to chart your path to total global domination.” Hilarious! Let the games begin…

I’m twenty-four today, my how time flies! Sadly I’ll be spending it solo as John is away building houses with Habitat for Humanity (yes, he’s forgiven). I’ve never spent a birthday alone, but am determined to keep my chin up (and talk to all my faraway friends on the telephone!). I’m trying to remind myself of all I have to look forward to—moving to San Francisco (it’s almost decided), officially becoming Katie Armour, decorating a new apartment, perhaps adopting a second pug (I dream of having several like Valentino and the Duchess of Windsor…wouldn’t that be grand?). Now I’m off to take Alfred for a walk in the sunshine and treat myself to a cupcake at the bakery round the corner. Perhaps today won’t be so bad after all…
How do you celebrate your birthdays my lovelies?
XO Katie

John is out of town so tonight I will be curling up with Alfred and a glass of Elizabeth Rose rosé (a gift from a friend in Napa—I’ll let you know what I think!) to watch An Education. I’ve heard such wonderful things and it finally came out on DVD this morning. I think Carey Mulligan is the cutest and am eager to see all the vintage costumes and interiors. Have you seen it? Am I in for a treat?
UPDATE: I already finished it! Carey Mulligan was positively lovely. Her character was such a kindred spirit (the Catholic school girl memories came rushing back…). Any Neo-Trads that have yet to see it absolutely must, you’ll be charmed, I’m sure of it! Off to download the soundtrack… XO Katie
