My favourite things at the moment: the ruins of Crystal Palace, Curiosity exhibition, Belle and Sebastian, up cycled vintage suitcase in Liberty Claire Aude print.

- Belle & Sebastian have just released an album of rarities and b-sides from the Rough Trade years, perfect autumnal band, have been enjoying it whilst drowning out the din of schoolgirls on the bus.
- The book published to accompany the curiosity exhibition we visited in Margate,
