Dear Diamond Diary...
Definitely not rolling in cash this week — which meant missing out on a couple of brilliant events happening around London. But what do you do when you’re skint, creative, and just a little bit defiant? You gatecrash, obviously.
🎵Massive Attack
I found myself outside the Massive Attack gig in Victoria Park on Friday night with my pal & business partner. Honestly? Surprisingly great view from our side of the fence. The music hit just as hard — and the drinks were cheaper.
🎟️ SXSW London (Unofficial Edition)
I would’ve loved to attend the SXSW conference (hello, Erykah Badu?!), but with the ticket prices, it was a no-go. So I did what small business owners sometimes have to do — made some pretty unique business cards and hit Brick Lane in the rain with @repurikanto for a little guerrilla marketing moment. More on that adventure next week.
🛍️ Blue Dress Magic
The video of my 80s prom dress has blown up — so many of you have shared your own nostalgic stories and I absolutely love it. Please keep them coming, it’s like a fashion time machine.
🧢 Train Hat Debut
Picked up a vintage National Rail worker’s hat and took it out for a spin. Got saluted by a stranger. Iconic behaviour, frankly.
🛒 Sunday @ Mooch, Hackney Wick
No rest here — I spent Sunday selling vintage at Mooch at Colour Factory. Such a great energy and incredible pieces from small brands. Definitely a highlight of my week.
💡Oh and here's some tartan-spo from my pinterest this week
Honestly, I’ve been so lucky to meet amazing people since moving back to London. It’s proof you don’t need loads of money to make your own fun — just a bit of imagination, some great clothes, and people who get it.
