What I did at the weekend.

Arrived in Dundee nervous and hung over, train station coffee swilling around inside my stomach. 

Consulted this pinboard approximately seven thousand times.

Attempted to turn a suitcase full of jumbled skirts and dresses and shorts and jumpers into something vaguely resembling said pinboard. Panicked quietly.

Made a list. Immediately felt better. Made a longer list.

Stuck clothes onto a model's boob using sellotape, which I think was a first for both of us. Awkward.

Turned sweet, drooping roses clipped from a grandmother's garden into a ginormous flower crown. It wasn't The Most Intense Flower Crown Ever (that's here), but it was pretty spectacular, considering it was cobbled together out of string, wire and desperation. 

Invaded some fields. Squashed some crops. Scandalised some passing traffic. Grappled with sun and rain and wasps on the flower crown oh my gawd argh get it off!!! 

Tried to work out how I could slip some of the gorgeous jewellery into my pocket without Jane noticing.

Watched my dear friend Kristen do her thing and be amazing. That girl is a professional and a genuine talent. I am in awe.

Decided lawyer slash stylist was a totally acceptable job description. There are probably hundreds of them, lawyering and styling, styling and lawyering. Probably.

High-fived. Drank wine. Ate my body weight in carbohydrates. And started to plan the next one.
