I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Shirt, Blood is the New Black. DIY cropped denim, Zara. Shoes, Isabel Marant Beketts. Sunnies, Jeepers Peepers (similar)

Now that the larger part of the Olympics is over and the sun doing its job properly for once this summer, none of us (i.e England) seem to really know what to complain about. We’re shuffling around the water cooler and downing one too many plastic cups of company water, making small talk over the new carpet and the receptionist’s new clogs. Welcome to CompLane & Co, we were having a fantastic year until the weather cleared up and by some miracle the tourists learnt to stand on the right (edit: of tube escalators). So I am now complaining about wind knocking down a stinky flower vase, which in all honestly was actually quite a lovely gust of wind laced with sweet summer grass that broke the sweltering heat, and the flowers – despite having lost all its petals in transit and having pooped in the vase – was actually a rare luxury in our lifeless flat. I’d love to think these little cycle trips down to Columbia Road flower market is turning into a weekly practice that makes me more of a woman (on paper, at least)… but let me hang up my bra and tell you this, once this sun packs up and goes away to Ibiza (or wherever it retreats usually), I will resume the position Captain-CEO of the unstoppable force that is CompLane & Co, reigning in the confines of my own pizzacrust-lined dungeon. I WILL BE BACK.

  1. I love all your photos of flowers, you just make them look less boring and ‘artsy’ and somewhat urban.

    I never understood what the problem was with right/left in London. For goodness’ sake, you write it on the street for us! No excuse.

    Also, lovely flowers.

  3. Tell me about it, six years and still looking the wrong way. Wish they’d just swap already.

    @Shini, When the group I was with first got there, our guide threw out some statistic about the number of American tourists killed or injured because they looked the wrong way while crossing the street. We were supremely careful after that.

  5. I always enjoy your photos and these ones are no exception. Love the sneakers.

  6. Left is the new Right..

  7. Love your shoes and photographs as always. I’m terrible with my rights and lefts so I’m sure I would be the perfect target for cars and things if/when I visited.

    I love the photos especially the flowers’
    And I want to ask a random question actually. Do you know any tip to lose weight and keep fit without too much excercising. I have asked some people but nothing is kinda workable. Just hope you know some ways. Thanks ^^

  21. Lovely post! This is not your first time making a post about flowers that you bought but you have a touch how to get some pictures with the same theme (in this case floral) without making your readers feel bored! You are truly a genius + pretty photographer! :)

  22. So warm and beautiful! Here, in St. Pet the weather is already a little bit cool (+12), I even wore a coat for today’s look and it feels very nice for that weather :( :)

  23. Hahah CompLane & Co, love it.
    I wish we had that nice weather down here, it’s been rather crappy – maybe we’ve been working for CompLane & Co while you guys are on holidays?
