Real estate....

House by the Sea - Limited Edition Print from the myfolklover shop $40

Having safely defeated the faces of evil (see... Parisian real estate agents) I am still being caused to fret by the aftereffects of great battle (see... lease signing/key handover), and have buildings on the brain (and budgets. budgets too!) Buildings on a budget? Perhaps that's why I've been having sudden cravings for structure and geometry that I can control. (See... ordering House of Holland's building, alphabet and panetone tights, and endless doodles of cubes when I'm on the phone)) And lusting after artworks with order in, like so...

At any rate, I've been on an Etsy trawl once more (The POWER of the consumer...vs. the powerlessness of a student faced with real estate) and been finding some structure I could control (were I not paying extortionate rent...) Starting with some beautiful beautiful clothes from desirapesta.

Ophelia royal silk dress by desirapesta 135$

I see order even in disorder.....

Spider top by desirapesta - 58$

Rob Ryan is so ordered. He is a man with an excellet use of xacto knife. Surely. Dig this print...

I like napkins. I like this necklace. I couldn't say where the association comes from!

Necklace by Tinctory - $96

My obsession with ovesized knits should have been clear with the yookoo chains, but this is awesome too. It's like what would happen if you taught my dog how to knit in the best way possible- chunky, messy, lively and fun.

XL cowl in Vert from Urban Knit - $60

I love cord. Not sure why. Perhaps its because have a fondness for the 90s when I wore pocahontas leggings, hot pink corduroys and Barbour jackets. So this skirt (sold out) from HiAnnie brings back my youth, in a more grown up way (Shmexy).

These next lot are all from chichicraft, empty at the moment but letting you preview collections. Saving the best for last, yay!

I would go into more detail, except that they're mysterious and have no profile information. hmmm. oh well, I'm not really bothered if they're using oompa loompa's, because the clothes are so ppppeeeeerdy..

The bad touch...

Some like to pretend that fashion is for the elite, that it raises us above each other, but what is it, if not animalistic?

 

Zebra cut out dress - $170 @ Obesity and speed's new online store!

I mean really, it's indulging are whim, that one that all animals have where they want to put on a nice display to show their superiority. (Hey you zebra!)
Why else would my dog attack my clothes, rather than me, when she's trying to show who is in charge? (we live in a dogtatorship, my friends.)


I mean..... how I wish to dress up in salmon (Fish! fish!)....

Hmm, its a pity that because of my bike my family will totally be refusing to buy me anything else, so unless I have fairy godparents, my BIG 18th will be sadly sparse, bereft of multiple parcels...

I really wouldn't mind some KTZ Bethan socks...I never make enough play of my legs, which I should, because they won't stay this shape forever.... and only 39Eur, currently around £35, which ain't bad!

I will be exam presenting myself with Louise Body Docs come my allowance.... Might as well help the company as it rides the wings of the recession, and I LOVE 'EM. I had put them in the back of my mind, but then I was hit by the most extreme style inspiration I've ever had, suprisingly south of the Thames, as I caught the underground to Tooting Bec, that situe synonymous with style or, errrr, the tooting bec athletics track. Whatever, when I got there I was given choclate pancakes. Anyway, so I was on the tube, and on pops this girl who looks fantastic. She was wearing a drapey black jumpsuit, that made her dark skin positively glow, an acidy blue denim jacket, Silver docs with sequins at the top, which the drapey silk jumpsuit was tucked into, HUGE silver disk earrings, and her hair was teased into an afro. She. Looked. AMHAAAAZING.
