Mrs Cameron's Diary: Dave's reshuffle is totally fashion forward

Yesss *joyfully fist-bumps self* finally!!! :) Because I have been going to Dave literally all summer no offence but if only politics could be more like fashion maybe it could be almost interesting? Of course *puts on solemn face* it is so vitally important and the country simply could not function without it, but if everyone was not talking about cobalt & investing in the new statement trouser which is sort of majorly ankle-skimming, quite challenging, would people really take fashion so seriously, excuse me I don't think so? And Dave is like, what?

So I'm like, OK, if the cabinet was a kind of luxe accessories range, with high-end heritage pieces at the top, eg Govey & Haguey, and on-trend clutches and totes in the middle, sort of Lansley or Hunty, then iPad cases at the bottom, eg Caroline, would you seriously keep it all same old same old for, like, ever, I mean people would basically walk past the window and vomit out of sheer boredom and they would be right because it looks so lazy and sad?

Well Dave was like, babes, please do not quote me on this but I literally do not have any new ideas whatsoever #welcometoAnya'sworld.

I'm like, babes, we have all totally been there? Do you know how often I refresh the Nancy bag which is universally accepted to be a legendary design classic? Only EVERY SEASON? Eg, now it is mauve. I mean hello, when did anyone last refresh the justice secretary? And Dave goes, well, Ken is vintage, obvs. I'm like, fine, look at Johnnie Boden, do you think he would do the exact same fun embellished skirt for three years, well that is basically you and Cheryl & she was not even fun to start with?

So now Clarky & Sayeeda are Out #missingyoualready & Hunty has got this adorbs new health look going on & everyone says the entire cabinet is rocking a more youthful, boyfriend vibe for Spring/Summer 13 & although the Guardian keeps droning about the women it will save so much time because Dave will not have to say calm down dear every 10 seconds? Plus everyone in fashion is already going seriously, how is this not Karl Lagerfeld's dream cabinet #result.
