 a 'in-my-basket' list, from need supply co.

i am very particular so that doesn't help!

i can't go past a pair of nice clogs, especially not ones as nice-on-the-eyes as these from Loeffler Randall's spring collection. i'm seeing spots and soft shades of pink. hmmm... how very jessie!! 

sunshine + ravioli

do not tempt me as i am spoken for.

anyone who knows me and my wardrobe knows i need not another vintage dress. anyone who knows me and my wardrobe knows i could never say no... not to a dress made for twirling, not to a dress from the tailors stories. jessie x x

doody! how do i look?

mr: you look like a horse! 

miss: well in that case you can call me... periwinkle.

crossover clog, No6. store.

 those pockets and socks and your coyly tipped hat.

a whale of a time

 hello. hello (arms dangling in the air above my ears). over here, seat B102 second from the front row (grin! grin! grin!). oh how lucky i have been!! granted 'blogger' accreditation to LMFF this past week its been runways and wide-eyes and goodie bags in tow. why bushy tailed me hasn't taken off her felt floppy hat, notepad scribbled full of trends and textures and 'must have in my winter wardrobe' buys. presented by my friends at frankie magazine Runway 03 proved by far to be my pinch-me favourite. labels including Limedrop and Gorman took to the tepee hut long road in creepers and pom-poms, prints and sheers a plenty. Leonard Street made my pencil blunt from jotting eagerly with their head-to-toe apple and bird ensembles. ooh and the whales, yes we will soon be wearing whales! a pink kind of girlie life in light blue has never been so dreamy. have i already gushed at how lucky i have been?! ladies and lads please take your seats the show is about to commence!

he wasn't who he said he was,

but he kept my feet toasty and my heart warm.

toe-cosies from Need Supply Co.

elastic ankles

puddles will soon be leaps and bounds in my soon to be pair of green-brown booties. the custom made soles are fitted and fiddled with by Melbournian creative Claire Best. with a skip and a hop you too can purchase your own splish-splash vintage pull-ons here. we're sure to be the (claire) best dressed poncho wearing elastic ankles come the rain (even if we have hair like a wet mop).

dips under a disco ball

if not sitting tall in anticipation for the next song and its pickings or hand holding in the corner, little ladies with polished ponytails and pointed toes were sashayed around the dance floor by whiskered men (of the gentle sort) at the viewing of Orla Kiely's Autumn 2012 collection. guests of London Fashion Week were treated to a 60's inspired soiree bedazzled with sequins, lurex and velvet. as in the photographs by Kris Atomic, I can't help but wish-wish-wish for a pair of metallic dancing shoes and a boy/man to lead me by the hand as we sidestep entangled to a beat of our own...

the woods are lovely, dark and deep

branches breaking beneath tinkering feet hair tousled and pinned in spots invisible in the mirror, it's no wonder i continue to be charmed and delighted by the lovely nadinoo. the collection of dreamy printed dresses, silky blouses and draped skirts can be admired via this darling video played out amongst the sounds of the woods. it doesn't matter the least that i'm locked inside fan sweeping sticky air back and forth around the room, there is no shortage of my lust for the label's wintery wears - 

everything delicate and doll-like.
