In To The Future & Back Again

Friday, 20th April, 2012

Looking in to the future of SarahD. Fashion writer, living it up in New York. Would give anything for another hour of sleep.

6.30am: Alarm rings. Short snooze.

6.40am: Snoozzzzzzze.

6.55am: S***! Am late.

06.57am: Realise it's Friday. That can only mean 'Dress the way the designers intended you to' day.

07.00am: Must make an effort.

07.05am: Raid the wardrobe. Or is that closet?!

07.09am: I spy Michael, Elie & Phillip.

07.10am: Am I in the mood to look like a Zebra? Or do I want to resemble a pastel Neapolitan ice-cream? I quite like the idea of gold foil, though. Where is that Elie Tahari skirt......

07.15: It's the skirt. Definitely the skirt's time to 'shine' today.

07.40: Dressed. Successful mission. Just one more question:

Is bed-hair still acceptable these days?

Friday, 16th September, 2011

Present moment in time, give or take a couple of hours.

06.35am: Alarm Rings. What is that bloody noise?

06.40am: It can't be time to get up yet.

06.45am: Snooze.

06.55am: Am up. Have to finish new blog post before work.

07.00am: Breakfast first, though.

07.20am: Two thoughts: Thank God it's Friday and yay for style.com and New York Fashion Week.

08.00am: Post completed.

08.05am: Just one more question: What am I really going to wear today?

White

Apart from underwear, a (yes, singular) t-shirt and converse, my wardrobe lacks the colour white. The reason? I prefer a bit of colour. Pink, orange, grey.... I am also a bit of a clumsy eater. Food substances on white is not a good look. Food substances on colour is the new colour blocking. Pizza sauce and hot pink? Fabulous, darling!

However, I am attracted to these white accessories, especially that Michael Kors watch. I really need to get my wrist decked out in some MK soon.

Gucci Bag, Net-A-Porter

Topshop Shoe Boots

River Island Belt

Michael Kors Watch, ASOS

Are you in to white or do you prefer brighter, bolder colours? 

Michael's Swagger

Today I want to wear something chic, sleek and something effortlessly cool. In other words, I want some of the Michael Kors Autumn/Winter 2011 collection in my wardrobe. I am all for mad tribal prints and bold colours, but sometimes, you just need to tone things down. Lets just call it sleek seductive-ness. Michael Kors, 30 years on. He definitely still has that New York swagger, don't you think?

Hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday!

You Better Watch Out

Dear Santa,

Hope you are working hard to ensure my pressies will be delivered on time! How is your other half, aka, Mrs. Claus, oh and those eager beaver, Elves? This year, Santa, I want a few bits and pieces...nothing too extravagant. I know that the North Pole has a recession, also.

A patent Vivienne Westwood would look just right in my bag. A girl can never have too much perfume and my life is lacking without some Chanel, Coco Mademoiselle. A Michael Kors watch is the perfect chunky, but not too chunky watch that needs to sit on my wrist, as opposed to the ASOS warehouse. Last, but not least, this chandelier.

'He sees you when you're sleeping.

He knows when you're awake.'

If that song is true, you might have seen the state of my bedroom lately, no? It is so not fashionable. A Chandelier is exactly what it needs to give it that bit of 'Ooh, la la'.

I have been very good this year, Santa. So, please be good to me, for goodness sake!

What's on your Christmas Wishlist this year? I got inspiration from my sister for this post, with her typed out Christmas letter to Santa, of course!
