Hello. It seems that it might be at least three weeks since I mentioned any wittering about the latest lightbulb fixation. Time to fix that.

These gorgeous vintage replicas are amazing. They’ve got sexy looped filaments, 1900s moulds, and are pretty much, from what I can tell, hand-made by Thomas Edison. And they have little nipples and everything. What else do you want in a lightbulb?

John Lewis, in a less obscure part of the land, are also selling some pretty sweet bendy filament bulbs. They’re a little orangey which makes me want to buy them all as Christmas decorations.

The Tiger Club invited us along to the launch of their Powder Keg Diplomacy earlier this year, and along to The Lost Society to celebrate and review their re-launch. (Writing for le cool since I moved to London has been ace.) For people with an apathy towards afternoon tea, a love of bunting, and a penchant for mini steak sandwiches and cake.

A few shots from my awful iPhone camera (apologies). It’s an adorable place.

I’m pretty much a coinisseur of brown things. It’s a difficult title to hold, but it’s reached the point of ridicule so I think I can carry it. Over the last year I’ve been faithfully carrying around a brown See by Chloe bag – it’s a perfectly slouchy but very sweetly detailed shoulder bag. On the other hand, it’s awful at carrying 15″ Mac Book Pros when freelancing. It’s now got a giant hole that even my slightly dodgy sewing with leather thread can’t fix.

So in true avoiding-any-change I’ve asked for a replica for Christmas. But having seen the rest of their range, I think I’ll just have that. All of it. Not to wear all at once mind.

I adore this one on Mademoiselle Robot. Typically terrified of Houndstooth patterns, I think I could wear this without feeling like Cruella De Ville.

This one may be a suspiciously similar version of the one above, but you’ll note it’s not brown. This pretty much fits my criteria of ‘new things I am allowed to buy without being repetitively mocked.’ I may like it even more than the other one.

Also, despite the numerous tech blogs’ guides to ‘cute bags for your camera and tech pieces’ which very occassionally throw up good pieces, this is gorgeous. I don’t think there’s even a regulation that you put a camera in it. It could be used for ANYTHING. It could be a bag for bottle of gin or a gun. The options are endless. Another reason this bag is amazing.

They also make one that looks like a Toblerone. See, something for everyone.
