SPRING AT MAISON B

Okay - so now you get to see what the Shopgirls do when YOU aren't in the shop... We try on the things we really want and right now its -
THE GIRLY STUFF: it is either the A.P.C. Madras stuff from Jessica Ogden [£55 for a dress!! NO I'm NOT joking!!] OR anything from Eley Kishimoto's Spring Summer collection.
THE T SHIRTS: we are picking out the best Obey prints and it's tough - they are all awesome.



The music in this video is the track (Let's Go) Get Lost by Patrick Wolf.

Ladies, don't get sad cause we look so incredible. Trust me - it is the clothes making us that way!! Come downstairs to Maison B and get something hot for yourself from Madame. And upstairs you can pick up a cheesey soufflé which is our new bestie fav for morning tea.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

summer breeeeeeze!

Writing this with the door open, a gentle breeze wafting my washing on the line....I know it's sign that I should get out more but few things make me happier than being able to hang out the washing....actually forget I said that, makes me sound tres tres tragique, non?

Slightly subdued though today as Liza and Ima went back to Canada for probably quite a few months; the boys will miss them LOADS and so will I, they're like family now...Ima has a new skin-tone costume in rubber that makes her look like a five foot real life doll (prolly 5'8 in heels!!) and I really hope customs don't find it/DO find it! cos it's going to be such a funny story.....after the event!!

Went to see Patrick Wolf at the Astoria the other night which was incredible! I love him, and have known him since he was about 12 years old (jonathan and I were talking about him and Bishi the other day at one of our coffee mornings and how we met her at Pig Lingo, I met Patrick out and about at gigs....and we thought how we weren't doing ANYTHING cool at 12!!! How fabulously precocious they were!!). Anyhoo, the crowd went MENTAL and adore him, and it's so well deserved, he was always going to be huge, it was just a case of when....My favourite moment was when he and Bishi did the Marianne Faithful/Patrick track "Magpie" which is on the new album - go out and buy it IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Mark Eley swung by on Thursday in his g-wizz which is printed all over in the "flash" print which has become a modern classic and seems to work on any scale - and they're environmentally friendly too!!! And you can buy one!!!!!!!!!

This next week I start rehearsing with my band again after Daren's back from holiday, and in a shameless act of self-promotion I can announce that we've just had our cds pressed, available of course from Shop at Maison Bertaux!

See you soon, Jessica Ogden's summer APC collection arrives this week so hope to see you for some crisp cotton threads!
