New Christopher Kane

photo-31

The Christopher Kane sample sale is an annual pre-Christmas test of willpower... which i lose every year. 

I don't know why i even go because something like this happens every time. The chances of that random girl putting this back on the rail, the very dress i have wanted since it was released way back in the Resort 2012 collection or something, in my size, are pretty slim, but of course it happened. It was payday. It was inevitable. The perfect start to my holiday wardrobe build. Plus it's so bright it is a great distraction from my dodgy hair. Perfect.

So come January i'm off to the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean, this remote India-owned cluster of perfection that barely anyone's heard of to lounge on the beach, read books and hopefully swim with whale sharks. 

It's finally booked. I can barely believe it because we've been talking about it so long, but now it's actually done i am beyond excited. The fact that the receiving the flight confirmation coincides with the chilliest of London cold-snaps just makes it that much sweeter... Just got a lump in my throat even writing about it... i can't actually wait.

Matching lips and nails for the British Fashion Awards last night... 

Lots of fun hanging out with all the beautiful people. Wrote a few behind the scenes bits on Elle today if you want a few more details.

PALACE

I've been looking for Palace's 'Versafe' T-shirt (and their Chanel 'C's one which is still evading me) for quite some time. Firstly for my boyfriend, for whose birthday i was frantically searching for it on eBay for more than two months. But then it came up in a M and not the XL he would need and i thought it seemed a shame to let it slip through my fingers after so much time spent scouring the internet... Needless to say he wasn't too chuffed when i cruised in wearing in the next day but never mind: at least one of us has it...

Flashback: Isabel Marant

emmanuelleisabelmarant09

Just stumbled across a picture of these old Isabel Marant boots that i used to be obsessed with and now am determined to track them down. 

God they're nice.

Miranda Kerr for Mango SS13

Miranda2OK Miranda3Ok

I'm trying to pinpoint when i became obsessed with the idea of owning a pair of trousers like this. Wide striped, black and white Beetlejuice-esque trousers. Not the most flattering, definitely not the most wearable, and probably quite questionable in general, they've nevertheless been on my wish list for a long time so when Mango announced, about an hour ago, that Miranda Kerr was the face of their SS13 collection with these stripy pants i got pretty excited.

They'll be released in January/February ish which gives me about two-three months to hone my body to Kerr-shaped proportions (because lets face it - thick vertical stripes are about as forgiving as a bikini after eating nine burgers) which seems easy enough with two months of Christmas partying, boozing and eating between now and then. No probs.

Instagram

Instagram finally have web profiles which is great news (follow me here) so whilst i've been working at ELLE and skiving off the blog i've been keeping visual tabs on everything i've been up to...

Loosely they translate as: a day out at the Design Museum // H&M crop top and ripped Zara jeans // Kurt Geiger shoes that are at the top of my wish list // New Tripp NYC paisley printed jeans // one sad and solitary blurred picture of my Balenciaga boots before they BOTH BROKE WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER THE 2ND TIME I WORE THEM... which i'm really really chilled about... (they're currently in Paris being stitched up #sad)// Tartan Tripp NYC trousers // shadows in The Art Cellar // Queen's Park graffiti // Chris Kane cosmic T // Indian-inspired prints from SS13 Matthew Williamson collection which i saw up close today and have to be some of the most beautiful prints i've ever seen (pushing my excitement for my Andaman trip to new levels) AND a beautiful London sunset walking along the South Bank. 

PLUS a load of snaps of Larsson & Jennings watches, all of which i have in my possession at the moment *LUCKY LISS*
 More on that later...
