biker chic

Saw Jo in the changing room - we'd both gone for a swim after Arup's great yoga class. Love the effortless layering, sandals with leggings & topped off with a great leather jacket, in this season's colour scheme of hints of yellow. Accessorised of course with head gear: safety first!

She was a good sport about letting me shoot her before zipping off on her bicycle. Speaking of which: Arup also builds bicycle wheels (see 'nice things'), bringing this full circle. It was all very zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance!

lars eating a sandwich near his bicycle

Lars, of Sweden, dotted on High Street Kensington with his bicycle, eating a sandwich. Note the use of two different red plaids, the necklace with the cross, and the way he's personalised his red Nikes with aqua laces. And the detail on the bicycle clips.

I asked him to wait there while I went back to 02, where my husband had my bag, to get my card. To my surprise, he was still waiting by his bicycle, in that stoic Scandinavian manner, when I got back. Lars, if you're reading this: thanks, & hope it was worth the wait.
