panthera

(the kooples)

saw this suit in the window whilst i was poodling down high st ken, it's so so nice. like super nice. it does not look like pyjamas in real life as it may do on here.

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.

sun-soak

(orla kiely spring/summer 2013 look book)

i had no idea orla kiley did clothing, i bought a few of the lovely towels for my teeny flat recently but am plesantly suprised at the range. this look book is so wonderfully summery and seventies (i think i may have a thing for seventies style photography atm), i literally love every piece from these shots. i'm so very excited for summer *thinking myself thin*.

naranja/verde

(zara)

firstly, zara have changed their online collection format... and i like! super simple white background = happy blogger. secondly, this japanese print kimono is beauts, looking forward to traipsing through the millions zara will be bringing out so i can float around in one of my own.

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.
