Yesterday and today: all work, some sleep and no play. But Otis Redding makes me smile.

Last night was: amaretto, bruce springsteen and little birdy in a frenzy. Bird-watching may not be my calling.
Then: I came across Victoria Simes in noi.se magazine:


Perfectly textured and pretty things to wear.
