First of a couple of posts about my fave things from London Fashion Week. Since discovering Luella a few seasons ago, through their use of t-shirts in catwalk fashion more than anything, I never fail to love any collection they produce. There’s always a few pieces in there that I just look at and go ‘ah!’. No change this year, either.
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with House of Holland, I think quite a lot of the collections are pretty dumb and uninspired, but then there’re always a couple of pieces that catch my eye and make me think I’ve got my opinion completely wrong. This time I particularly liked this sweater-dress with house prints. Prints = good.
More catch-ups to come this week, including Red Label (1930s with heavy makeup? I think so!), Matthew Williamson (holy geometry, Batman!), and Temperley London (cloche hats and long dresses, another 1930s collection?).

Friday, friday, FRIDAY! How was your week, kittens? Lets top it off with some fabulous things, shall we?
- Yesterday I decided that I needed something new to listen to on the walk to work, I started looking at audio books (wow, pricey), but coincidently Miss Gala Darling was doing a special day long sale on her new audio series ‘Love & Sequins‘. I thought what the hell, and bought a year subscription last night. So it came to about £37, but for 12 episodes each at over an hour, filled with super girl fun stuff, and the ability to support an independent blog queen, I think it’s money well spent. I listened to the first 35 minutes of episode 1 this morning and it’s a really good listen, I must say. Do you guys listen to any interesting pod casts?
- This shirt by Luella.
- My watch of calculatory dreams arrived yesterday, it’s so fly!
- I booked our tickets for Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince! I’m so so so excited, really can’t wait. How geeky! I even made sure to book for the showing with the big screen, too. Speaking of Harry Potter…
- Far from flashing her panties on the red carpet, Emma Watson’s photo shoot for this months UK Elle really shows how she’s grown up! Cute!
- I’m super excited for the new finestimaginary necklaces coming in a few days, there’s 7 new designs on the way! Yep, 7!
- I’ve found myself sketching a story about a girl who fell in love with a sea monster, it’s kinda creepy cute. She travels across the sea in a hot air balloon trying and find her lost love. Who knows where this’ll go!
- Very jealous that I didn’t go to the Luella sample sale, Susie Bubble went, though, and picked up some cute things. The bag pictured above is most definitely my favourite thing! Oo two luella things in one post!
- Gotta get me one of these! I think I’ll have to find some place for a cardboard safari head in the house, definitely.
- Also, NSFW, but HILARIOUS.
- In other news we now have kitchen counters & a working HOB! I made soup on it, epic.

(What is this?)
I’m still entirely gutted that I didn’t get my little mits on the luella monster t-shirt when I had the chance (I touched one! In urban outfitters! the price tag was too hefty at the time… gutted… gutted). I keep hoping one will appear on ebay, but alas, there has only been a size 6. Anyway, I guess you could replace the pretty luella tee with another in this outfit. Halloween everyday, I say! (oohooh notice the finestimaginary necklaces there! I’ve been adding a few things from FI to polyvore ;) lovely!).
In other news, I got my order in for Hello kitty for MAC. Yom! I picked 5 pieces (all makeup, none of the accessories). Can’t wait for it to arrive :)

My favourite from the Luella show. I loved the pockets, collars & t-shirts in this collection… wasn’t so keep on the gold though!
Vivienne Westwood Red Label.. I was looking at this collection, and just couldn’t help but think of Hogwarts. I’m sure when GInny Weasley grows up she’ll be wearing red label AW09! As usual with VW outfits, loving the cuts and tailoring.
Sorry this was a short one, thought I’d better get something down before the week ends! Last night we went to ikea and spent £2000 on a kitchen (zomg!). Well, it was £1800 and then if we spent £2000 we got 10% off… bit of a no brainer. Ran around the store for about 30 minutes getting £200 worth of extra accessories (new tap! cutlery tray! shelves!) so that we were up to £2000, then that came back down to £1800… sweet!
