BOYFRIEND DRESSING

The website is only a week or two young, but I'm loving the oversized and somewhat androgynous shapes from Proportion.

LABELS I LOVE

I’ve posted about SHAKUHACHI before having coveted various things on pixiemarket.com. But I’ve just discovered mycatwalk.com.au where their SS09 range has just been made available for pre order. 6 weeks into the shopping ban and not a single item of clothing purchased, I might have to treat myself to one of these numbers. I’m a sucker for a cut out or a mesh/solid mix.



Studded Jacket will be even harder to resist!

SHOPPING BAN. TAKE TWO

I don't know what it is about about holidays (having the time to reflect I suppose) which makes me return to England wanting to be a different person to when I left. Once again, despite vowing last year it would never happen again, I over packed for my holiday. I am now quite sure I definitely don't need anything new for the forseeable future and as a result I am embarking once again on the Shopping Ban. Last year I managed to afford a trip to Paris with the money I would have spent in a month on clothes, lets see how well I do this year. I am already considering purchasing this acid wash parka as one final hurrah before I start, but then that would be defeating the object wouldn't it. It's also not helping that Antipodium has launched on ASOS.com this week, including the denim jacket dress I wore for my catwalk debut. It could be a long month.

BACK

I've taken a long long hiatus from the blogosphere lately, what can I say I just. got. busy.

But I thought it was high time I made a post, but where to start, so many purchases, such a little box. Well I will start by saying that it must be a sign of the times that we're barely a couple of days into July and every single high street store has a SALE sign in their window. Most shops have abandoned window merchandising all together this year in favour of a battle of who can write the word 'sale' bigger and better than the next store. I'm not going to complain, I picked up this Barbara Hulanicki dress I've been covetting for £25 cheaper than it would have been last month. Result.

I took part in a fashion show for work last month, showcasing our A/W range to the rest of the staff, it was hilarious fun not least because there was a free bar backstage and we walked to Siouxsie and the Banshees. This was my favourite look of the two I had to wear, Antipodium is my new favourite. Hair and make up did a fab job.
