You Can Look At Yourself In NYC (& London!)

I also just found this:

Mirrored New York Skyline Necklace, £15, ASOS

.....wow.

EDIT:

There is also this slice of genius, but at the heftier £50 price tag...

It even has That Fucking Gherkin.. ♥

THE Perfect Maxi Dress

THE

PERFECT

ACTUAL

ONE

I have been trawling eBay for a grey maxi, and came across this while ASOS sale shopping...

It is £30, which isn't that much for such an image of perfection, which so fits into my intended winter look (yes I've thought about this, too much time on my hands) but is still overstretching myself slightly.

Because I already have £50 worth of stuff in my basket...

SO NOW I HAVE A DILEMMA O_O

...argh.

Thoughts??

Irregular?

Referring to both posting, and Choice, the wonderfully quirky shoe brand. I've always been a fan, but don't own any of their shoes. Unless you count the mint green size 7's with the pink corsage that we knocked down from the shoe tree last year, which I then scrubbed up and sold on ebay for a tenner. Would've kept them but they were far too big.

I just realised I haven't spoken of the legendary shoe tree before, and I believe it shall warrant it's own post....there are plenty of pics online but I may wait til I have a camera again and take pics then (which should be soon, my Dad is trying to find out about the warranty and such....I need it! I have stuff to take pics of! I have things to put on ebay!! *sob*).

Anyhoo.

Yes.

These pics have been around the blogs for a little while, but I'm only posting my favourite...

Ahhhhh these boots mannnn! The studding, the industrial feel? I'm loving it LOTS.

And the lookbook is pretty hot. All in toilets and such....shrug.

I'm assuming they'll be somewhat expensive. But probably cheaper than the much lauded (£335) Acne wedges, which, lets face it, are beautiful....as seen 'ere on the lovely Alexa Chung (Am I the only one wondering whats going on with her hair in these pics, btw? i dunno, it doesn't look right to me. A little flat. But then, I do enjoy big hair so 90% of hair looks flat to me. Hmm.)

FYI, the Acne website only seems to have the powder blue version. Which I was going to link to, but...nah. The black ones are much, much, fitter.

On an unrelated note, and one which makes it EVEN MORE ANNOYING that I am living with only the use of my crappy phone camera, I have been having many random adventures of late. When I look back on my life, this summer will be the summer of boys, blisters and spontaneity. Bliss.

Florence's Drumming

So this video is pretty much amazing (as is the song!)...

I adore the short nun-esque habit-type things with the gold sequin hotpants! I'm also enjoying anything involving dance routines in indie videos. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF THIS. I demand more!

There's a bit of an interview type thing on dazed digital about the video and the styling etc. I'm thinking more and more that this is the type of thing I'd like to do...styling and design, possibly within the media (so music videos, TV, film, yknow). Considering when I was younger my other ambition was to be in a band, I think a career mixing fashion and music is pretty much my dream job.

Man, I was an ambitious child.

As a side note, Florence very reminds me (especially in this video) of Queen Michelle off of Kingdom of Style......it may be the mask (around the 3 minute mark, somewhere?), I'm not going to lie.

PS

many apologies for the slow down in posts, I still have a severe lack of a camera so I'm relying on the Internet to throw me a bone on things to post. Also I've been too busy being spontaneous. Which is fun.

Menswe@r

Sadly, this is not a post about the britpop band, but is instead a post about how men's clothes are clearly awesome.

I'm still mourning the loss of my camera, and of course this means I can't post pics of the CLEARLY AMAZING men's chinos I bought last week.

In the sale.

At a charity shop.

For a pound.

Ohhh yeah.

They are many kinds of awesome, as evidenced by a positive reaction to them when I wore them out on Friday night (despite the fact I literally threw them on cos I only decided to go out about half an hour before we left).

So when Kingdom of Style (and IS MENTAL!) wrote about the label God's Prey earlier this week, I was interested to note that it was the menswear I was way more into. Check this jacket!

Ahhhhh SO MUCH LOVE! I hope it's within my budget.....which hopefully it will be, apparantly my London deposit is on it's way back to me! Wooo!
