Music, dancing and bejewelled, beribboned, silk scanties; primarily. Working hard with beautifully inspiring friends to make delightfully far-fetched, fanciful musings actually happen; secondarily. Being woken up by the sun streaming through my curtains and basking in its warmth like a sated cat - falling crazy in love with the fact that it marks the start of another delicious London summer; thirdly. Playing dress up, kissing pretty things, lounging on sun-warmed grass, swooning in discos, running around to my new favourite song on repeat, licking sweet strawberry lipgloss, scribbling bits of stories in nice notebooks, eating gooey caramel ice-cream, flipping funny-shaped pancakes, frolicking in very high heels and carousing in nought but lace and pearls upon beds of kitten-soft creamy white faux fur. I would buy the real stuff if I could find a kitten big enough. This last point is extra curricular, you understand: I don't depend upon it, but it's nice to do on occasion.
