claire and her new puppy, pip

I was jumping into the tube at Gloucester Road yesterday, on my way to the Thing I Can't Wait to Tell You, when I saw Claire, with her cute little puppy, Pip. She was a great sport about a) letting me shoot her and b) trying to get Pip to pose, but, let's face it, it's really hard to teach a new puppy old tricks.



Claire is displaying perfectly, I feel, this season's Geek Chic. The essentials to every girl's wardrobe: cute little lemon pumps, boyfriend jeans casually cuffed up, fun tee, tomato cardigan, straw hat to keep that harsh sun off English rose skin, honey blond hair, big black geek glasses to only be worn if you're pretty to begin with, a proper lady's big black purse, and, small enough to fit inside, a cute little shiny black puppy.
