Topshop A/W '11

Despite it being mid June (reaaaalllyyy?) I got far too excited when I saw Look had tweeted about the brand spanking new Topshop A/W 2011 collection! I thought I'd share my personal favourites and thoughts with you - to see the full collection click here.

This dalmatian jumper is so cute! The double layered chiffon peter pan collar is just perfection.

I wish I could see more of this dress but the detailing around the waist looks exquisite and I definitely want to inject some of the red wine colour into my wardrobe when Autumn comes.

Love this jacket and the belt is lush too.

Another pretty little chiffon dress, the cuffs are adorable! The loafers are growing on me too. Not liking the yellow 'referee bib' though!

I think I might have to take the plunge this year and invest in a Topshop coat, they're all amazing!

Not overly keen on this outfit but the dalmatian print bag can come home with me any day!

Check out the tweed jacket with the sequinned(?) collar and cuffs, eeek!

Pink fur coat.. Get in my wardrobe.

This is my absolute favourite outfit of the entire collection, I would actually buy everything she's wearing! I need to see more of that bag! 

So overall, there seems to be a lot of mixed textures going on, I've fallen a little bit in love with the chiffon and tweed combination already. Chunky knitwear is still prominent after last winter and you'll be able to bring your fur coat back out! There are a lot of masculine cuts (not so much in the above pictures) which are spruced up by delicate embellishment on collars and cuffs. The outfits seem quite thrown together, I'd probably describe it as 'charity shop chic' if I had to sum it up. I was hoping for more dalmatian references but I suppose we'll have to wait and see what else Topshop brings :)

Let me know what you think!

Press... :Record:

My first blog post. Peculiar...
Suppose I should introduce myself and what not but who wants to stick to the rules? It'll come later, for now it's nice being unknown and mysterious.

Anyway, I have to begin somewhere so, I decided to start this blog mainly just to keep a record of my life and what I do, so later on I can look back and I can remember what I did when I younger. It's so easy to forget so much in your life, and focus on the main things when really there are all the small things that make you smile.

So, let us commence.

001. Went with the famalam to get the Christmas tree, to our local farm. Lovely and Christmassy in the snow :)
002. Jack Wills wristband that was in my Christmas Cracker today - my mum puts my brother and I three crackers in the tree and we have some little treats before Christmas! Sweeeet. I'd quite like the rest of the colours now, but they've sold out!
003. Primark stag Union Jack cushion, slightly creepy yet amazing at the same time. It'll fit perfectly in the Jack Wills room which I will get round to decorating one day...
