buff

(nelly)

being synthetic leather, these are not worth their price tag (or my time), but if they were the real thing they would be perfect for ze summer.

spot smock

(asos)

i super like the this spotty smock, however i'm not all that sure how much the spotty smock will love me. i like that it is shaplessly fitted, but when you're a chubs like me, you kind of need all the fittedness you can get to make the general public realise you're not a barrel of lard underneath. damnit.

basic

(john lewis)

i love drop shoulder tops. i normally get them in the form of boys t-shirts or from topshop jersey basics, but the problem with topshop jersey basics is that they don't last all too long. they tend to be an unwanted short-term fling (i fall in love for the long-term). i've bought a couple of m&s ones (their quality wins) but they were really quite ugly. alas, i'd super like this stripy chap (and i have a feeling that from jl, it is going to last yippee) - a couple sizes bigger than normal (i need bagginess on top, i'd literally squirm if i had jersey clinging on to me) with black skinnies and converse/wedge hi tops. excellent caszh wear.

rip

(asos)

so the chap bought me the (what should have been) lovely mulberry teddy gloves, but all has turned a little sour with them. after the delivery, i found a stitching problem so poodled along to the store and got a brand shiny new pair last saturday. and then yesterday, young salz popped over for a sleepover and some chicken and she slipped her normal sized hand in to one of the gloves and it just fell apart. a proper tear and a proper sound to accompany it. not impressed. gloves should not fall apart that easily, especially a pair from mulberry. anyway, i have completely fallen out of love with them and it is getting mighty chilly outside and my poor, poor hands need-a-warming. asos have come to the rescue with these yetti styled beauts, they look pretty much exactly the same, yes maybs a bit more on the puffy side, but far cheaper and they still have a leather cuff. boom. mulberry, you can fool me once but i shall not be fooled twice.

sale picks

got to love ze british high street chritsmas sales. i'm quite chuffed with the actual decent discounts and actual decent stuff they've all put in. below are my favourite online finds...

(knitted stud camouflage jumper - was £45, now £30) 

(chain insert cardi - was £55, now £25)

(acrobat wedge trainers - was £80, now £40)

/asos - not convinced this is their final lot of sale stock and reductions, i've got a lot of stuff in my save for later that has been in there for months and i'm more than sure these are things that will get reduced. anyway, these are my faves of their current sale stock.

yuletide

(love clothing)

eek, time to whip out my christmas jumper collection. most impressed with love clothing's take on my favourite ugly companion, a decent selection (so we can all wear different ones and still look cool) and at a decent price. win win.

case

(asos petite)

pretty annoying this is in petite, i'm def not near 5ft 3, but this parka is perfect - cinches in at the waist, big chunky collar, yummy dark khaki and dips low enough but not too low for the bottom.
