I'm currently sorting out some last minute errands for my trip, obsessively listening to a Paul Banks album and thinking about popcorn but knowing it's far too freezing to venture out of bed. I'm almost 100% healed, my doctors were amazing. My anesthesiologist told me she was giving me a pink IV because pink was the new black. Coincidentally, it matched my hospital bracelets. Accessorizing in hospital? We might need a montage. As I began to fall asleep, the last thing I remember saying was "You guys, we should do this more often, we should hang out". The stitches are dissolving and the last bandages are slowly coming off so I'm feeling brand new.

How are you?

Oh the perils of online window shopping! I've always had a thing for spikes. When I first moved to Cape Town at about 9 years old, I remember walking into the late 90s UV heaven of Space Station, staring into the black light glass display and asking my mom to buy me a spiked dog collar and neon red coil ring. The colour chipped off the ring and the dog collar is lost in one of my drawers but my obsession prevailed throughout the years of angsty kids deeming them too tacky, cliché or painful during hugs. Luckily, trends grow up with us and there's always a new way to work an old idea back into our wardrobes. 

Love or hate spikes? What is something you've adored since childhood?
