The Stones. Peasant. The Weekend.

Here's Mick looking all pensive on his private jet as he leaves the UK to become a tax exile in France. This is from a scene from Stones in Exile, a fantastic documentary I watched the other day that was frankly 11/10.
Here's Our Keef:
and here's Anita Pallenberg looking all youthful and glam:
I love these gates
This is Keef's face before it was ravaged by excessive smoking drinking and the consumption of large amounts of Class A drugs (say what you will about Keef's body-it really is incredible that it dealt with all of the above and didn't just conk out)

I loved what Bianca wore to the wedding. Was it YSL?

Everyone was so thin

During this scene Bill Wyman was complaining that he couldn't get English tea bags in France and how awful the French milk was and how homesick he felt. Nice do Bill.

One of my new favourite songs is Tumbling Dice. The lyrics were inspired by Mick's housekeeper in LA who loved to gamble with dice (who knew?)

Inspired by the youth beauty and sheer Glamour of the Stones and their entourage, on Friday when it was cold and rainy, I channeled Anita P (without the hardcore addiction issues) when I decided what to wear to Play Clothes Day at the Coalface

I came up with this getup:

I thought the faux fur jacket screamed early 70s in the South of France

I had lunch with MDW (lunch every Friday since 1994 and still going strong People). He's a massive Stones fan and has seen them 3 times. He had lots of amusing anecdotes about them.

Last night I had dinner at Peasant. These are some salt cod fritters.

And this pork belly with quince paste was 1653749/10.

so was this sangria cocktail arrangement.

Which lead to this unseemly behaviour:

and this

Mr FF is Mick to my Keef.

This morning I changed tack.

No more Stones. Lots of Martha.

I got a crochet lesson over brunch from my friend M (endodontist to the Stars)

This is M. She is wearing one of the nicest frocks ever. It's Missoni (I asked)

I ate this

and wore this Chloe dress from Jean Brown that you've all seen about a million times before

Then I went and had a look at DIG on James Street

I love succulents

But in the spirit of thrift I bought nothing.

I looked in Space Furniture too. By God everything in there is so 'spensive. Luckily my taste runs to vintage stuff sourced from places like charity shops and hand me downs from my parents.

I'm off to Peasant again tonight (when you're onto a good thing stick to it)

My new favourite Mick song is Just Another Night with You.

Might go and listen to it now.
