Mary Says What?

Hello!
Let's play a game of Mary says.



1. The way to stay warm in the depths of Winter? Mary says to go for an over sized chunky knit and a pair of coloured trousers. Why not go for yellow. Winter means grey skies & chilly air. The trick with wearing a pair of bright trousers on a dreary day is to focus your eyes on them and then look up at the sky. Yellow trousers.Cheerful.Grey Sky.Depressing.Yellow trousers.Sun.Grey Sky.Is that the Sun I see? Smart.

2. The peplum is currently doing the rounds. Mary says, to hang on to that peplum, 'cause it's still going to be pep-ular(!) come Winter time. Next Season the peplum is more exaggerated. Mary says, 'Just Do It'! I say, yes please.


3. Mary says, to always hang up your clothes. Too lazy? Think of your clothes as karma. Treat them bad, well, what goes around comes around. Wrinkles so deep in your favourite denim shirt, not even an iron can tame them. Mary says, you should have hung that one up. But fear not, buy this hanger dress and it will always remind you to show your clothes with respect. If you don't have the thousands to purchase, just buy some hangers. I always prefer the black felt ones, as seen on the dress. I say, great minds think alike, Mary.

4. Fashionably late? Not so fashionable, says Mary. Buy yourself a watch and you will find yourself counting the seconds until Mary Katrantzou Spring-Summer 2013. For the time being, let next Season's amazing prints take your breath away. Count one-two-three and breathe.



5.With this particular dress, Mary says two things. (1.) The colour crimson is a must. On everyone. (2.) Mary says to blog more. It doesn't matter if you've had a shitty day, it's better out than in, right? Obviously, I need to practice what 'Mary' preaches. This  typewriter dress will be my inspiration. Thanks Mary Katrantzou for another cracking Season. See you next time!

Round And Round We Go With Louis Vuitton


Here we go round the Merry-Go-Round,
The Merry-Go-Round,
The Merry-Go-Round.
Here we go round the Merry-Go-Round.
On a decidedly lacklustre Tuesday Evening.

What Merry-Go-Round? Why, the Louis Vuitton one, of course. Lace collars and Broderie Anglaise dresses. Pastel colours and all the rest. Easy on the eye. Elle and Vogue show Louis Vuitton's designs at their best. Alexa Chung and Lana Del Rey. Pretty in Pastels and all the rest



Love the covers of Vogue UK and Elle UK for March 2012. Yes/No for you?

Hi There!

It may be freezing out and dare I say it, snowing in some parts of the World, but Floral trousers (and the rest) are always welcome. What do you think?
