This week I’ve been wearing hoop earrings. Me! I know! The person who has worn the same diamond studs in her ears for the last two years and, before that, no ear-adornments since the age of fourteen! I don’t really know what possessed me to chuck a value pack of Freedom at Topshop ear hoops onto the top of my little pile of clothes purchases – it was something of a whimsical act.  I think I had an image of myself being this cool, bohemian-esque girl about town with my leather jacket and slicked back hair and smokey eye makeup.

Not quite the image that Mr AMR picked up on – he called my look Fortune Teller Chic and said “cross my palm with silver?” in a croaky voice. Men.
