ASOS Ltd 100

god i cannot believe i missed out on this. 100 pieces by LCF students went on sale from 1pm today and i missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jay - the things i do for you are ridiculous.

see Susie Bubble's blog post for the best picks...i'm too upset to write about it myself.

i am...

...massively in love with this 'tube cut out top' $148 by Orphan Age

cue the deep sigh.

one to watch: dirty elitist

I'm becoming increasingly addicted to twitter ... and finding it a useful source for both political and fashion news (and buzzing new companies). Dirty Elitist began following me and curiousity got the better of me.


Dirty Elitist appears to be a new company with the aim of rivalling the likes of pixiemarket.com and newhighmart.com .

It currently holds a very small mix of product but so far the product looks strong. (I haven't yet ordered from there so don't take my words as gospel!) Similarly to newhighmart.com the VM is mixed with some product only, some anonymous models and some editorial shoots... im undecided at the moment what works best or if i like that there is a mixture of presentation.. but i think i sway toward editorial presentation . I think it's important for customers to see product on the body (as a whole) with an aspirational image to make customers desire the product and to look like the model rather than anonymous models in questionably lit studios/rooms...

vs.

Anyway enough rambling.. i like these men's acid wash skinny jeans!

ruffles and loveliness

ASOS AW09 press day

...as an asos.com insider, i got to see the AW09 press day, post-press... everything looked ever so lush. i'm very late in posting this but delayed my posting for fear of 'the competition's beady eyes on our fabulous product.

so i'm going to keep short and sweet and post just my absolute fave best bits that made me squeal with excitement like a typically-hyper-girly-girl...

Unseen, Guy Bourdin @ The Wapping Project

On a lovely sunnday day a few weekends ago I trundled all the way to Wapping to view Guy Bourdin's 'Unseen'. Set in a 19th century power station (which later turned into a pumping station), it still inhabits much of its original hydraulic equipment and machinery. The Wapping Project has played host to numerous fantastical art and fashion exhibitions and holds a restaurant and bar within its engine and turbine rooms... anyway, a large steel door toward the back of the beautifully naturally lit buliding leads down to the Guy Bourdin exhibition... wonderful. Small but the grassy floor and the atmospheric lighting was just lush.

...and my bottoms obsession continues...

So i'm clearly being brainwashed as I work away in the casual bottoms buying department ... i trawl pages and pages of mags, tears, blogs, online stores to find fascinating, inspirational product (that's in my spare time though mostly as the working day comprises of ... critical path, critical path!!!)... and come across some fabulous leggings featured in this month's Vogue. Unfortunately, Styleserver's platform doesn't really do them any justice whatsoever (but look stunning in the shoot with ms. dahlia believe me) ..

Batik leggings by Julia and Ben 75euros @ styleserver.de


lush!

And if you like the old paperbag waist shape that adorned many s/s 09 shows... (i know it's VERY late to be mentioning that as it's all about a/w 09 now..) here's one, uber eccentric .. almost vase/tulip shaped (?!) one for you:

Painter pants by Ulrika Sandstrom 179euros @ styleserver.de

leather insert obsession

i have already blogged about the belle sauvage leather and print insert leggings that i lusted after on pixiemarket.com.......and now it's the turn of the 'leopard by belle sauvage black leather leggings', available to purchase on belle sauvage's online shop.

I have been stalking them since I realised the print insert leggings were sold out ... and also cost a whole lot more.

This has a £69 price tag and i cannot waitttttt to purchase. i'm dying to, it hurts.

kapow wow!

Window shopping down brick lane, i felt surprisingly uninspired by all the vintage but popped into one of my favourites store 172 and felt the love and inspiration i needed.

I came across some neck wear pieces by Kapow wow, that i must invest in asap (pay day thursday!!!!). Ever since gcse art and design i have been obsessed with ruffles and organic structures - kapow wow, evidentally, is inspired by jacobian ruffles and "natural strucures" resulting in beautifully ruffle collars. I must admit, some neck pieces are dangerously borderline 'all saints'... so be careful which you choose. nonetheless, i think it will be necessary to indulge in a ridiculous ruffle collar necklace (i loved the grey with tints of gold specks - not such a big fan of the black, oh and fyi - in shop 172 it was £75 not £150!!).
