paperbag waists and aladdin pants

wondering down bustling oxford street in the FREEZING cold... (i'm still climatised to the florida gorgeous sunny weather.. oh i miss it so.. ) i spotted these fabulous trousers... paperbag waist trousers were a nice surprise at H&M:

and these aladdin style pleated tie waist ones were in a selfridges window i believe... but i was running around and completely forgot where/who i saw it by!!! i love them though.


anyway i've been way too quiet on the blog front recently. i've missed out on reporting the acne/lanvin tie up.. and missed out on many fabulous outfits i've worn..... i will from now on try to bring some life to my daily wardrobe part of my blog!! and from here on now, i'm concentrating on the thing i love most, apart from jay, fassshhhhhhhhion!!!!

fyi: illamasque is fabulous - find them exclusively in selfridges and get yourself some fabulously blue tinted eyelashes from a steal at only £11 and highly pigmented lip glosses for.... i'm not sure how much but they are gorgeous (and long lasting) !

in case you've missed my personal warbrobe photos here's a preview.........!


work xmas party:

NYE in miami:

my new found like...

DENIM.

who would've thought me, miss. lee, would ever take a (re)liking to denim. I barely wear denim as it is and only just wearing it again here and there in legging format. Even then, it's rare and only on very very casual occasions.

however moving onto a denim and casual bottoms department... and researching more into forthcoming associated trends and understanding more of the technicalities behind it - i am increasingly enthused by the area and yes, im starting to love ... wait for it. acid wash. i know, like you would have ever imagined me to say that. but, an acid wash jumpsuit for s/s 09 - trust me - it looks fierce and in high demand by press.

so on my browse while i'm nursing this fever away...... i stumble across two really exciting directional denim pieces (notice that it isn't just the high end delving into more exciting, adventrous washes and details on denim - notice that topshop are now branching into more sophisticated, edgier, directional brands such as sass & bide.. - the bleach wash jumpsuit!!! this can be found at topshop oxford circus)

Yes I love all things Marjan Pejoski and so I reveal more Kokon to Zai to inspire:
£194 at farfetch.com - it has sold out.
The distressed green adds a really nice worn wash with overszied pockets and elasticated cuffs to add volume and interest. mm.. just so interesting and fabulous.

My next feature is the 'pleat jean'. To me, it is slightly similar to our peg leg jeans that will be coming in jan/feb and also in very high demand by press. This one by Kokon to Zai is more structured with pleats at the front and a high waist. A cropped, tapered leg is uber sexy. Zips running up the back legs can be worn open to add volume or fastened for a more fitted look. I love that versatility.

I highly recommend going on the site and getting a closer look.

gift request no. 1

o my god, i am absolutely in love with this.

ever sice the 'seasonal gifts' booklet dropped through my post box... i have been lusting after it.

it is none other than paul smith's fisheye camera doused in the typical paul smith stripes... its fcking fantastic.

yes, i do want this for xmas. ;)

the buyer's assitant's update....

I have been at the company for nearly 4 months now. The first 3 months were overwhelming and I was inundated with work and responsibility. I'm feeling more under control now and absolutely loving what I do ... I have reached my goal starting on the career ladder of buying... (eventually I'll get that little independent boutqiue selling quirky dutch labels and unheard of japanese labels and... the unknown HK brands...)

I was working on outerwear, shirts/blouses and knitwear. Which was cute. But now I'm on denim and casual bottoms. Surprisingly, I've found it even more exciting with more directional shapes and washes coming into form. What an exciting brand / website to work for ;)

Key pieces for this s/s 09, gorgeeeeeous:

floral soft silky shorts - founded on a tokyo street style site

Susie from Style Bubble poses in her recent purchase - stunningly gorgeous sheer panel cross over jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are alllllllll the rage. Love them.

And what I've bought recently.....

this denim frill dress from topshop boutique:

a stunning sheer cage skirt which i cannot find on the topshop boutique website and woud take a photo if i could.. will try to asap....

and my gold sequin jeans which were a big hit at the supplier's xmas party ;)

ah.. i do love my new purchases..... but where do i find this money i need to head to florida this xmas?

yes, i'm heading to florida to spend xmas and new years. hope to find some fantastic emerging new labels while i'm there... anyone to recommend?
