Moodboard For Spring

A Lighter State Of Mind

YOOOO WHAT UPPPP DAWGZ??

Working in a dress agency I see the almighty tides of fashion change in the blink of an eye. The shop content and displays have had an enormous spruce and like a breath of Alpine fresh air, heavy, itchy looking monstrosities have been replaced by flowing silky things in all shades of the pastel-rainbow. It is amazing how quickly we tire of looking at a certain kind of thing. Soon this lightness will bore us and we will long for sharp leather and sheepskin again. Above is a little mood board to get you in the mood for Spring. The days are getting longer and opening up for more possibilities, like drinking outside in the evenings... and May bank holiday wahooooo!! Anyhoo, Spring for me means CHLOE. No one has done campaigns quite like theirs...Mix in some lemons, pastel wall paper, painted tiles and macaroons, and you have an insight into how I think of Spring. Dusters at the ready....

Double Decker

Shirt: Vintage M&S

Trousers: Originally Zara found in charity shop on Fulham Road.

Are you brave enough to wear print...twice?


The A/W 2011 campaign for Chloe (as I blogged about previously) depicts sheer snakeskin in rusts, golds, stones and turquoises and as is the way with the fashion big dogs, now, my all time favorite animal print is bursting out of the British High Street as though there were real serpents in there... I'm not complaining however. I blooming well love the stuff. So much so that I have toyed with a double entendre. It takes two bab-ay-ayyyyyyy. You and you.

Snakeskin is going to be HUGE, HUUUUUUUUUUUGE next season. And have you ever thought just how well those cracked and mottled beiges, blacks and greens go with the falling Autumn leaves? It is the perfect fashion match 'laid' in heaven...I have always had a love affair with snakeskin. Ever since I first started scouting out old ladies left overs in Reading's picturesque charity shops. Now I have drawers and drawers of ill fitting, itch-making snake skin attire which I REFUSE to chuck away. It's very good for mid season dressing as the tones compliment both thick winter ware as well as light summer, denim and white. Yessssss sssssnakeskin issss in sssssssssssssssssssssssssss x

The Sales

The sales are on. It's what everyone's talking about so it's thrilling that I can't afford anything. But never mind. Asos is a gem at the moment. All the above are massively discounted. The scalloped Chloe underwear also comes in mustard yellow..so good with a tan. If I could pick one...the Opening Ceremony Chantal Platforms at the bottom. Mmmmmm
