Rita

it has a removable shearling collar. probably the best idea ever.

hoping this leather jacket is going to be the sort that lasts (and gets worn) forever.

matrix

pretty much what i want my summer to look like.

acne ss11 lookbook

what i currently look like (variation on a theme).

adolescence

topshop jumper, cos trousers, DMs
Really really into dressing like a grumpy teenage schoolboy a la japonaise.
Also super into standing on items of furniture not made for standing on - my room is pretty cramped.

herd of arches

apc blouse, comme des garcons top + whistles trousers, sonia rykiel x h&m platforms, cos leather trimmed dress, apc cardigan + topshop turban, dr martens

a collection of pictures from the last week or so.

the velvet turban/headband/all-round-wonderful-headpiece is the best thing in the world (thank youuuuuu!). it brings together two of my (previously mutually independent) favourite things in life - wearing a bun and keeping my ears warm. cycling has never been so dreamy.

got the docs for £10 on sale in a little shoe store in the local market. the man made fun of uggs so immediately endeared himself to me.

stompin'

cacharel beauties from the opening ceremony site
i'd like to get myself a pair of platform sandal/shoes. prefer these to the studded celine version, they're slightly less Intense, bit more fun (that's what patent trim does for ya). money and the fact that they reside in america make them quite unattainable. waiting for the won hundred pairs to appear in urban outfitters, then i will purchase them and eat only rice and soy sauce for a few weeks.

borrowed from the f blog
went to an aerobics class last night, i've never been in so much pain. and yet there's something so joyful about lunging until you can't feel your legs properly anymore.
walking up and down stairs has been more difficult than usual today.

let's pretend we're married

topshop cable knit jumper

got a massive project deadline coming up.
so obviously i'm compulsively buying things left, right and centre and taking photos of myself on my crappy webcam. and listening to a whole lot of prince.

yeah, solid work ethic.

hunger pangs

ashish for topshop
actually in love.
i'm not entirely sure why, i think it's the blatant brazen humour.
or it's probably just the photos of delicious junk food.

sort of picturing everything with a sweet a-line skirt in the summer. so teen.

when you were mine

Went to the APC sale today and Pigged out on discounted knits. I love them, they veer so closely to mumsy but i like to think they stay on the right side of dowdy.

saccharine

charity shop coat, acne jumper, apc skirt, vintage shoes, alexander wang bag

i love these curtains, so wrong yet so right.
got this apc skirt a while ago from ebay for a bargainous £7 - the length is just right and it makes me feel a little more like a Girl when i wear it.

NW3

Inspired by elisabeth's beautiful new brogues, i went hunting on the internet and found these beauties. so so so tempted by the heart shaped punching and chunkier-than-normal heel.

UPDATE: Bought them - it started snowing again, and i need these for walking in the snow at university, right?

minima

slumpin' & slouchin' my way through revision, wearing acne shoes to keep my spirits high.

also, having a quick flash sale of clothes that don't get enough wear at shoptwobreadsplease - just click on the wolf to the right. i'm leaving for university on 11th Jan so all sales must be paid for and posted beforehand! got some american apparel/topshop/other stuff floating around.
