It’s a while since we’ve done an “In the Closet with…” feature but I can’t think of a better way to re-introduce than with a Stateside Bitchy friend Selah Says. I first encountered Say in her former life as Melly Shabazz, one half of a duo called the Agyators. The Agyators was probably the first actually the first blog I followed too and it sparked my interest in writing and photography, something that has continued to grow since.

Sunday and I’m back to the dilemma of Wednesday: balancing sartorial demands of very different social engagements. While it’s great living in zone one because it does mean that I can drop home for a quick change with minimal hassle, I also like to pack in loads of things into my day and taking away the need to go home can allow me to cram one more event in.

It’s Saturday morning and I wake up at a friends house after going Buster Bennet’s Calling All Tribes party at The Macbeth last night. Despite the fact they work at a vintage store and have loads of very borrowable clothes in their wardrobe I get a skanky pleasure from putting last night’s clothes back on after the shower. It’s probably partly because I sleepover at other people’s houses so rarely that I still get that walk of shame buzz. This shot’s taken outside one of my new favourite places: Monmouth Coffee’s Roast House on Maltby Street. I haven’t touched alcohol or drugs for a decade now but I do have a pretty bad caffeine addiction. Luckily, living in SE1 I’ve got loads of great independent coffee shops around, the best being Monmouth. I’ve done a fair bit of blog papping (blapping) around Borough Market while fuelled on their coffee.

I rarely plan my outfits until just before I go out which probably explains why I arrive everywhere late. I still remember going on a date with someone a few years ago and being half impressed and half disgusted by the fact that they chose their work outfits for the whole week on the Sunday. I’d find that level of personal sartorial organisation both impossibly difficult and creatively repressing as it would preclude the creative expression which gives me such a buzz when I choose my outfit before each outing.

Pickin up stuff for his Detox
I had the pleasure of meeting Tictac last year at an Urban Nerds night. He had an oversize Perspex Marijuana leaf necklace which was a nice ice breaker – no ice on this boy though.

Sunday: It’s blog dress up day! Most of personal style photos for the blog are all taken at the weekend so today is photo day. That basically involves pulling out loads of clothes and ending up a sweaty, harassed mess. Spend much of the day in and out of different outfits but here I am wearing a Horace t-shirt/dress, Miu Miu socks and All Saints sandals. Pranced around the house in my mask for a bit.

Better late than never. My pop-up store has been one hell of a ride this weekend and pulled it off with the help of at least ten other BITCHY people Soz if this post is a little late but I’ve been merchandising, making signage from multi-coloured duct-tape and trying to mince around in those Topshop blue sueded boots all day, difficult but necessary. Now I’ve just had a chance to grab a can of red-stripe and breathe, feels good.
This is my favorite Queen post so far.
Saturday: Had no intention of leaving the house today. Have some magazines to read, tea to drink and dogs to pat. Wore my vintage bed jacket I picked up when I was shopping on Thursday with a customised petticoat, Givenchy wedges, Bebaroque stockings and BF’s Lonny Liston Smith t-shirt from 1984.
So much to write about Wick and weekend but it’s gonna be tough over the next few days. My mum’s coming over on Monday and she’s brining me to a salon get my Ghetto nails back on – can’t wait. She’s also brining me somewhere really posh like Claridges for afternoon tea. What a contrast to my current existence. Wll blog that too and might even dress her up BITCHY style too – she’s a funny and brilliant woman.

Friday: Glorious day so decided to risk wearing a whole lot of white. Jean Pierre Braganza jacket and Complex Geometries dress with Black Milk leggings and LaRare shoes. Ended up being late for work so shoved on my red Underground London winkle pickers to run for the bus. OK, maybe not run exactly – flay my limbs in an approximation of running is perhaps more accurate.
