French Fancy

So I've been meaning to visit The Kooples site for a while now and yesterday I finally got around to it. The ice cool French label, based on the advertising campaign featuring ridiculously attractive couples (Kooples, get it?) is, as my mother would say 'the hip new thing'. They've got an Aubin & Wills vibe about them, and their current collection is pastel heavy, interspersed with the always present black. Their department in Selfridges is notably large (for a single non-high fashion label) and notably chic as well; I felt under dressed just walking through it.

After hitting up the website and mentally spending about £2,000 I picked my favourites. Gold trim blazer (looks crazy right?), Printed shirt with bow (I refuse to let the term 'pussybow' float, eugh), Zip Tank in Lemon (it also comes in about ten other colours), Peter Pan Collar Blouse, Khaki Parka, Pleated Shorts (ice cream perfection + pleats = itmustbelove), Tailored Shorts, Gathered Waist Skirt.



So do yourselves and ice cream flavour, and check out the Kooples. You'll be as fly as a French lady in no time.

Wishing On A Star

Hey lovelies :) It was my birthday yesterday (ahh I'm 20 and feeling grown up) and as always, this prompted a look online for things to buy with my lovely birthday pennies. Unfortunately I made the minstake of clicking on net-a-porter, from which I will never be able to afford anything, but still.
I've never been a lover of red (my hair and skin tone just won't work with it) but this DAY Birger et Mikkelsen dress is really lovely and perfect for summer.
I also spotted these tattered jean shorts (my summer staple) from my favourite denim brand, Ksubi, and actually am considering saving up to buy them - is £150 for shorts a little too crazy?
Altuzzura has got some really eye-watering prints hanging around at the moment, including a blazer and this perforated print skirt.
Next up, everyone's new crush The Kooples; despite the pictures on their website distorting the shape of the clothes, I still had to upload this zip vest which is just SO perfect for days like today (yes yes, the sun is finally out).
And we're in that winter/spring transition when I shouldn't want to buy another sweater, but Rag & Bone will always have my heart.
Then on the the stuff I can actually afford....a Croc metal bar clutch from Topshop (where else), and a scarf print bandeau top - I love this but I have no idea how to style is (getting my stomach out is a huge no no).

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
