i fell in love again this morning. with 130mm of heel from miss vivienne westwood, who sends a valentine to women and englishness with every stitch.

buying something from vivienne westwood is my ultimate treat, a reward for being good that instantly makes you feel naughty. what could be better?

miss westwood reminds me of queen elizabeth I as imagined by derek jarman. i saw her once on the victoria line, many years ago. she sat opposite me in an absolute grump. no makeup except for a vermillion mouth. as i beamed at her like an idiot, every wild yellow kiss-curl said ‘i couldn’t give a sh*t’ and i’ve been smitten ever since.
