Exhibitionist - Grace Kelly

An exibition at the V&A will be dedicated to every girl's - young or old - style icon Grace Kelly. Even Mika tried to be like her, but apparently all her looks were too sad. Personally I'd be quite happy to see the Grace Kelly exhibition even if it means losing £7.40 pocket money but I wouldn't be so happy to fork out travel from the naughty north to the sexy south, only to find myself in a city I find overwhelming at the best of times. So heres hoping the lovely people taking Grace Kelly's clobber for a city break in London decide to stop off nearby and let us have a Captain Cook (look). I can't complain though, having had the chance to visit some amazing Vivienne Westwood creations at home in lovely industrial Sheffield.

On another more musical note, having finally fathomed the workings of last.fm early today I set about listening to some charming acoustic music for a sunny Sunday afternoon, when last.fm threw Jay Jay Pistolet in my face (not quite literaly, that could be quite embarrassing all round nevermind one heck of a throw). I'd heard Pistolet's name before but having disregarded him as a children's nursery rhyme character my interest never went further, until today that is. So after having decided personalised radio done good I just couldn't help myself leaving it behind while I mulled over Pistolet's artist page.

Having set up a playlist it was time to venture further into cyberspace where I stumbled across an old favourite, I say old as in I hadn't visited for two months and I say favourite as in I found it on my favourites list. The website in question was ElsieBelle, a site selling some of the quirkiest, loveliest vintage inspired jewellery. Although, I'm happy to say ElsieBelle's gems do seem to stay in one piece for longer than true vintage treats. http://www.elsiebelle.com/
