Dear birthday fairy,
Please can I have these Proenza Schouler Resort 2011 shorts?
(and the jumper and shirt if you're feeling particularly kind?)



Thanks,
Meg

Things that I like.

eh, this is gunna be a pointless pic spam to fill some rather neglected space

Blazers: I wear mine everywhere, it is possibly my main wardrobe staple, either open over a t-shirt and trousers, or buttoned and belted over a dress... I have so many outfits that I seem to complete with my blazer. I just need to build a collection of them now so that I don't feel so repetitive.

Belts: I usually wear belts to cinch in at the waist, to assentuate and create neat lines and a more defined silhouette, because I am so guilty of wearing clothes with no shape, which I bought specifically for the looseness and androgyny, and then belting over them anyway. I especially love leather (or faux leather) ones, generally brown, with a nice buckle, and a vintage air.

Shorts and tights: both of these things, seperately and together. I love them.

White shirts/Menswear in general: I wish I didn't love menswear... I'm not at all interested in male fashion in general for some reason, but I love the mens section on the high street, especially in H&M... They seem to get everything that I long for and it makes me mad >:(

Wedges: My more recent obsession with shoes is both saddening and delightful. I need more.

Floaty dresses: I like to feel girly.

I obviously like more than just this, but if I had my way, I think my wardrobe might be almost entirely made up of these things. Mhm.

Louis Vuitton Catwalk Highlights

Just checked out style.com for the Louis Vuitton catwalk collection for Spring 2010 and just thought I'd post my favourite pieces from the show, since it was overall such a stunning collection (a mish-mash of sport detail and army themes in cute little dresses and shorts).

I just thought that these dresses were just the most adorable things ever; and those colours! They seem like the sort of clothes you could just throw on and look effortlessly chic and yet they'd suit almost any occasion. I often think that some of the pieces in catwalk collections can be intimidating, and you could never possibly imagine yourself wearing some of the flamboyent 'costumes', even if they are beautiful creations. Louis Vuitton seems to have turned this idea on it's head to create something amazing. Maybe the colours and ideas are a little 'out there' for some of your tastes (you, my imaginary reader), but I think this is brilliance, personified. style.com

And: I really, really want this coat.
That is all.
