A.P.C Love
I am totally in love with A.P.C!
If only I could afford to stock my whole wardrobe full of their lovely wares I would! Alas, this is the ever restricting credit crunch so I can only but dream. The Parisian style is super cool, elegant and a little bit kooky in a bookish way. I wish I could go back to Paris – such an inspiring place full of beautiful things. It’s officially dark, rainy and super gloomy in London – I am not feeling the love. I guess I’ll just have to keep looking at inspiring things to keep me from getting too down. Speaking of inspiring things I can’t stop reading Ninainvorm’s beautiful blog - so lovely!
Fashion in the Mirror
I forgot to mention, I recently saw the Fashion in the Mirror exhibition exhibition at the London Photographers Gallery. It aims to showcase the development of self reflection in fashion photography throughout history. It shows the quest for perfect beauty and the development of the inside glimpse at the makings of what we see as ‘perfect beauty’. It was a small but perfectly formed exhibition – great for a spare lunch hour!
Autumn lovelies
There is just so many lovely things out there at the moment, I made a little collage of just a few of my faves. It’s hard to lust after autumn fashions when I will be off to sunny Greece this week – but when I get back I am well and truly getting stuck into autumn.
Ok so on the wish list line up is the divine Orla Kiely ‘Cube Print’ dress, this is a long shot as it is way out of my price range – but a girl can dream. There is a great piece about Orla in this month’s Vogue too! Next up is the Pop Art macaroons and gift boxes from Laduree I seriously want to try all the flavours and own all the gift boxes, they are so pretty and iconic. Then there is the irresistible Boden leather boots, my current boots need re-healing and I have fallen for these beauties. The Russian doll lamp is so cute as you all my know (the name is a give away) but I am nuts about Russian dolls, so this lamp seriously blows my mind – it’s by Plumo. Not forgetting the amazing Luella horse tee and the amazing Cath Kidston floral sweatshirt which I WILL own when I get back from my hols.
Wish List Time
It’s that time of year again – I am slightly poor and the weather really does not permit all the super, pretty and cute things in the shops at the moment. It is the first day of spring and it snowed most of yesterday, my office was sub-zero today and I am reaching for the long sleeve t-shirts again! I am really over wrapping up now – winter needs to end! So to cheer myself I made a collection of all things colourful, lovely and nothing to do with winter at all.
The lovely Eames rocker, which has been on a never ending wish list of mine, Camper sandals please, Cath Kidston cowboy skirt, Miu Miu patent hair band is to die for, Clarks Originals lace up shoes and a cute Topshop yellow butterfly ring to add some subtle colour to everything! Heres to dreaming of warmer climates…. x
