I recently discovered the work of Piet Oudolf –– the Dutch landscape gardener known for “gardens that look wild but are not wild.” The High Line in New York is his most acclaimed design. I watched the trailer for Five Seasons –– a documentary about the life and work of Oudolf –– and now all I want is to see the film, and walk through one of his many romantic gardens. Even his drawings are so beautiful. “Beauty is in so many things you wouldn’t think of…. I think it is the journey in your life to find out what real beauty is, of course, but also to discover beauty in things that are on the first sight not beautiful.”

I got poured on today. It was warm outside, so I didn’t mind at all. But a decent brolly would be good to own. It would save me coming home and putting myself in the dryer. You’d think as a born and bred Londoner, I’d own a million of them. But I don’t. This one is right up my alley. Doesn’t she look like she’s making rain fun?

Who needs an umbrella when your hat is the size of the sun? I love this image –– the beach, the rocks, and this ridiculously large topper. I’m sure there’s room enough for a kitchen and a bathroom in this hat –– just in case she wants to live in it, too.
