While the snow and ice slowly recedes into dirty slushy mess, not so great for non-grip heels on icy footpaths, oh do beware of damage potholes I tend to walk into them without realising.  My brother Ken and I decided to visit West London as tourists, we equipped ourselves with brick dslrs and cursing each other on the pros and cons of our camera models, at least mine a Canon 5D MK2 is much bigger and heavier than his small Canon 400D, size matters, pah!  In Notting Hill, I showed him the infamous blue door on Westbourne Park Road from the film Notting Hill, I wasn’t too delighted with his gratified response? ‘Is that it?’  He was disinterested, ahh thanks Bro.  So no snap shots, we skipped to Holland Park to catch the Peacocks and of course to shoot my emergency outfit shots.

My outfit: Men’s shirt and cricket sweater both from Uniqlo, leather skirt c/o Muubaa, wool coat c/o Benetton, DIY mittens by me, boucle boxy bag c/o MCM, white tights from Falke, boots (from 10 years ago) from Nine West, rose gold Layla headphones c/o Frends at Avenue32.com (product review coming soon). Outfit shots by my lil bro Ken.
