Consider this as an i'm sorry i'm lazy i'll try harder but clearly i've been working and eating thai food...

A reccomendation next time you're in paris? Mme. SHawn, a thai restaurant just by Jaques Bonsergent/Republique. Inedentally, there are two just by the same metro stop, one canal-side on rue lancry, the other on rue Yves Toudic. Approved by Teema. 

Ah yes. I made enchiladas (the antique 30s dress is... umm..whim)




Pont des arts in the rain...

I blame coco made me enthusiastic...

Real estate....

House by the Sea - Limited Edition Print
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 / your size
Ophelia royal silk dress by desirapesta 135$

I see order even in disorder.....
Victorian Spider Top / made to order
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...
My Home
My Home by Rob Ryan - 455$

I like napkins. I like this necklace. I couldn't say where the association comes from!
rosemary
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
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).
Pamela.  Custom-made pencil skirt .

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!)....
