I want to sleep in a tree..

If I did, life would be infinitely cooler.

I'm sorry, can I have that dress?

Dear Christopher Kane,

I've never really been a big fan of you. Your clothes don't exactly thrill me and the models you use always look so alarmingly angry.

But after taking a second look through your Spring 2010 collection, I need to admit something.

I was wrong. Really wrong. Because I kind of love you.

This is why...

If you send those dresses my way I promise that I'll never say a bad word about you. And then I'll have a party, with tea and gin and lace. Because where else would you wear these beautiful creations?

Yours, in apology and admiration

I'll Have What She's Having...

Today I had one of those moments when you realize how badly you need to do something about your hair. My colour has faded and my fringe is still recovering from a really bad hack with a pair of blunt scissors so I definitely need a new 'do. Being too much of a poor student to afford a trip to the hairdressers I've taken to spending a large amount of time lusting over hair I wish I could have...

Maybe/definitely it's shallow but if I had hair like Kate I think I'd be a better person.

Yes, I'd probably get sick of this in a day. And yes, I'd probably manage to look like a circus performer. But damn Agy, you make me want to go orange.

LOVE and just a little pink. Well played, Miss Hemingway.

Lover, Lover

I love Lover. And their new A/W '10 collection The Harvest, which hit stores in March is the perfect example of why. The collection uses a colour palette that mixes feminine pastels with blacks and browns to create looks that are dreamy and delicious. In life according to The Harvest, winter is about lounging around in trousers, slouchy jumpers/cardigans/scarfs and prairie girl prints by day and donning a party frock with black tights by night. With pastel pink androgyny and tight, temptress velvet dresses, the colours and lush fabrics combine to give a soft, slightly bohemian, romantic vibe that is oh so easy on the eye.

Lover have also put together a hauntingly beautiful film lookbook to go along with the collection, produced by the Aeon and directed by Alice Wesley-Smith and Kasia Werstak.

Lover, you have my heart.

Lovely Hawaii, I'll See You Soon...

In November A and I, along with 3 of our gorgeous friends, are spending 8 nights in Hawaii for what will hopefully be a beautiful, watercolour adventure, peppered with the occasional jumbo cocktail and mortifying karaoke session. I've been told that when holidaying in Honolulu one spends most of their time barefoot and wearing a barely-there bikini. However, being a complete slave to new, pretty things and having a vested interest in not looking like Tara Reid, here are a few of the things I'm looking forward to wearing as we break the hearts of all the boys on Waikiki Beach...

McQueen dress and Valli coat

Etro
White on white on white. Is there anywhere else more perfect for this look than a tropical paradise?

ModCloth
I want to sunbathe in a retro swimsuit (sans the rockabilly tattoos).

Chanel

Jeffery Campbell

Not exactly sand-friendly shoes but if I could have those Chanel clogs I would probably wear them for the rest of my life. Have I mentioned lately how talented you are, Mr Lagerfeld....?

...just so I can be an island princess

So Hawaii, wait for me. It won't be long until we meet, hopefully clad in Chanel, with jewels in my hair....

Yours, dreaming of paradise
