This shirt is in preparation for prancing around the fields at Glastonbury next year, although the rich colours seem to fit perfectly surrounded by velvet, thermal tights and mulled wine.

I wore this to dinner at my friends before we trekked into central London for a creative networking event. I have never been to a specific networking event before so I didn't really know what to expect. We were given a badge displaying our attributes to the evening, free wine and dips. It was interesting to see and speak to people who you otherwise probably wouldn't meet. We spent quite a while picking the brains of illustration agency 'Handsome Frank', standing in a corner talking to each other, drinking free wine and eating ALL of the dips. I regret nothing.

As always, the drunken night was followed by a drunken train journey home with a filthy McDonalds burger.

Hi Frankie

How every drunken night usually ends, filth.
The badge was necessary for said networking event, coolest.

When packing to go to Switzerland this time, I stuffed my meagre hand luggage full of scarfs, gloves, hats (whilst obviously wearing at least 4 extra layers to get on the plane that wouldn't fit in my hand luggage - books literally dripping out of each pocket...) but I was shocked. There I was expecting baltic conditions and it was rather mild, good for me but bad for my choice of wardrobe.

I needed a new winter coat - although my other one looked the part with its big fur and fancy exterior but it just wasn't cut out for winter weather, it was a bit of a wimp. So I called in the big guns with this beautiful forest green creation - it looks the part and feels like I am walking around wearing a thermal sleeping bag. Ace.

Switzerland has a habit of looking pretty in all circumstances, a rainy day somehow enhances the colour of the rivers and trees so despite the rain we took a trip to Bern. I was obviously already attracted by the thought of mulled wine under an umbrella but what I didn't expect was bears. BEARS. Literally wandering about, eating pumpkins near the river.

I am just getting ready to go to my first networking event today. I am armed with my business cards and iPad portfolio. Although you may find me stood at the back with my head down, nursing a glass of wine...
