Marc Jacobs Resort Collection is simply GORGEOUS and cute and delicious and oooooh I want to eat it.  It's all colour kitsch retro floral sparkly goodness and that ticks all the boxes!  What's more is that it is graceful and poised, almost conservative.  Even though I love all-outers like Meadham Kirchhoff, it's the more feminine-with-a-twist-of-quirk that makes me adore this collection.

And I absolutely loved these next looks.  I've been really in to asian, cheongsam style dresses lately, and MARC JACOBS YOU READ MY MIND these are so lovely!

Here are some other styles that I found online:

pure silk dress from chinapig on asos marketplace

vintage yellow cheongsam from perfectlyposhvintage on etsy

silk shift dress from topshop

Urgggh how cute is that last shift dress!  It's like oriental meets 60's mod and I love it!  Note how the Marc Jacobs collection was paired with romantic hair and sky scraper wedges.  I think with this sort of dress you need to 'modernise' the shoes and hair-do so it looks less like a dress up and more like a... umm... mad men gurrrl with edge?

Speaking of shoes!

So perfect I can't even.

These shoes are so groovy that they may as well own their own disco (bad, bad analogy).  It's when it comes to this that I know I should stop procrastinating.  So long!

Flatforms

I am beginning to wonder whether I will ever be able to wear heeled shoes again, because at the moment I am crazily in love with 'flatforms'.  I know mules are supposed to be the next big thing, but let's just stop for a moment and have a fangirl over these amazing shoes.

Am I dead?  It sorta feels like it. ASOS

School girl/goth.  Both? ASOS

I am sorta kinda liking this 'gardener's foot wear' (as debuted at Christopher Kane).  My stylish friend Solange said she didn't like them as she thinks they make an outfit look 'cheap',  but I think paired with a sheer maxi or midi skirt they would look sufficiently sport-max (or like jesus).

You remember my ode to tights, yeah?
You can guess how I feel about this then.

As a final thing: I haven't been posting much lately, because of school and life and stuff, but also because I couldn't find much inspiration.  My goals are 1) to take more street style photos and 2) to go and score some vintage clothes, shoes and bits and bobs, and share the photos with you.  Wait, does money actually grow on trees or is that a myth???

An ode to coloured tights

I am obsessed with coloured tights at the moment.  Why go with black when you can make it interesting and unique by adding a new colour into your outfit?
In images 1 and 2 you can see the coloured tights look being utilised by my favourite designer duo, Meadham Kirchoff.  I particularly love the yellow coloured tights in images 3 and 4, and I think image 5 is really interesting in that the tights are the same colour as the shoes.
Hit up Sportsgirl, Topshop and American Apparel if you're looking for tights in a new hue (also note my hilarious use of assonance).
