- The official Google blog posts data on the surge of searches around the time reports started flowing with news of Michael Jackson’s death. RIP MJ, you were so sparkly.

I always wear Penhaligons in the summer, Bluebell and Rose are so light and fresh and it’s a joy to go and skulk around their store behind Bond St.
I studied 6 word stories at uni and really loved them, it’s amazing how you can or cant say with 6 words!
I’m so with you on Scarface as well, I think the whole ‘cult status’ made it less attractive to me for a while (Camden Market filled with Tshirts and posters and little kids doing impressions-yikes!) but really what it comes down to is that it’s just a fabulous film!
that perfume bottle is GORGEOUS. wonder if it smells as good as it looks! haha x
Becca: Your whole comment filled me with London lust! So I wrote a silly 6 word story:
Camden style atrocities? Please bottle it!
That’s amazing haha! Don’t be lusting too much, this blasted heatwave is making everything fun unbearable, the tube nearly hit 40 deg yesterday :(
thanks so much for this. x
