Kickstarts

American Apparel Jeans. almost every day in work i get asked by customers 'do you do jeans?' to which i respond in an apologetic tone 'well, no, but we do have these great pleated pants that are so much better than jeans because......' so i'm delighted to see that soon, i can simply say 'why, yes we do. they're right over here...' the masters of basic clothing, AA have perfected the tshirt, the hoodie, the slim slack and the LBD, so i can only hope that their jeans fulfill all those customers' need for the perfect pair. i'll be first in line to buy the indigo wash ones, i'll keep you posted.

Star burst

The iconic anna dello russo demonstrating colour blocking at its best. of course, it's head to toe jil sander. for me, this picture really sums up fashion right now. anna depicts the woman we all want to be this season. brave, bold and brimming with confidence. she's glowing, using the burst of colour as a platform to stand out in a sea of muted tones.

I immediately thought of fashions leading lady when i saw this blazer, €47 in river island. it's certainly no jil sander creation, but i predict it will take a leading role in my summer wardrobe, inspiring me to emulate anna every day. here's hoping!
