Without delay (mainly because the weather's shit and I have nothing better to do) I feel there is something I need to get off my chest. What is going on with this seasons high street collections? I spent the last weekend in London, wanting and willing to 'splash the cash' but i found it utterly impossible.
Where were the karki capri pants I had my eye on? The short, black, leather bike boots? The fitted yet casual daytime LBD? Even the basics... Simple, light cotton white t-shirts... Where were you?!?!
Having spent the day trauling through the high street shops, I became demoralised and absolutely exhausted and fed up with my experience. This led me to wander if maybe something was wrong with my clothes creativity and desires... so I appointed myself the mission of reading every fashion magazine I could get my hands on for inspiration! (If you've never done this before, I highly recommend it!!!) This was not the long, arduous mission I had expected but the complete opposite... Gone were my fashion blues and replaced was my initial love for shapes and fabrics and looking fabulous! The only tiny weeny little problem being that the items I had my eye on ranged from a gorgeous black and white aztec print over-the-knee Donna Karan skirt at £1260 (GRAZIA, page 80) to a pair of stunning boy fit jeans with beautiful plastic and glass embroidery (ELLE, page 130), stylishly rolled up to above-the-ankle. These were Christopher Kane for J Brand, priced at a shocking £2490!! Aswell as confirming my undeniable expensive taste, it also helped reassure me that there were some hidden gems amongst this seasons fashion atrocities.
