H&M have got it covered for aw 13. i very much assume this is the calm before the storm, as isabel marants collection for H&M is due in november. who’s excited? i’m itching! this collection covers plenty winter materials including imitation leather, wool and velvet, with a classic colour palette of black and white. beautiful draped styles, relaxed fits and floppy hats adds a subtle gothic mood. shop the collection here.
here’s some of my favourite pieces:
floppy hat, trousers, cape and skirt
having a new found love for pointed footwear, i’ve been wanting a pair of black pointed ballet flats and this pair from asos are the nicest i’ve come across. midweek purchase, why not? i picked these up in my normal size 5, but because they’re not a complete fit around the foot; i’ve had to go one size smaller.
they’re my new favourites!
my cat is murder for eating any plants that i have, i literally can’t have any because he would chew them to pieces. so i’d been looking at getting a terrarium for a while, and i finally found this beautiful geometric terrarium case at a florists supply store. it is exactly what i’d envisioned, i think it’s perfect!
ps, congratulations to danielle from floral danielle for winning my little giveaway. i wish i could have given all the entrants a prize, but you can purchase the card holders at the 9september etsy shop!
i wrongly assumed that knitting was a granny thing to do. as it’s always seemed a traditional hobby for older women, it had never passed me as something that i should do. now i’m lusting over a chunky knit jumper and super chunky blankets every winter, it has made me question; why shouldn’t i start knitting?
still greatly in the mindset of ‘granny knitting’ when trying to research, i suddenly remembered all the beautiful pieces that fashion designers have produced over the years. so i’ve gathered myself some knitting inspiration more suited to my taste! some of the designers pictured above include: maison martin margiela, alexander wang, nanna van blaaderen, eleanor amoroso, sandra backlund, derek lawlor, sunghee bang, julie eilenberger and irina shaposhnikova.
