shopping

One of each, please

Monday 20 May, 2013 / Fashion / Comments { 11 }

i have a continuous board on pinterest called one of each, please which is probably one of my most frequently pinned to boards. i think you can guess what the theme is. a lot of my time online is spent window shopping, it’s a problem. so i’m trying out this new widget that neatly puts together some of my favourite stuff i’m coveting to easily share with you.

the theme for today is kinda dusty pink, peachy, natural, white. you get it. if you guys like this series then i’ll keep it going! if you can’t see the pictures below then… well, this is awkward. let’s forget it ever happened.

& Other Stories

Wednesday 13 March, 2013 / Fashion / Comments { 27 }

whenever i discover a new online shop i go through various stages of emotion. 1. i’m excited by all the beautiful clothes. 2. i’m sad that i can’t order any of them. 3. i’m relieved because my credit card sits untouched. rinse, and repeat.

so when Catherine alerted me to & Other Stories i went through all these stages, but i also marvelled at the care that went into the look & feel of the shopping experience. i ended up browsing for far longer than i usually would any other online shop.  i’m also taken by the beautiful design of their in-house beauty range - which i’m actually lusting after more than the clothes. i can just imagine these pretty serums and potions sitting atop my sink.

& Other Stories is actually a brand under the H&M group, it kind of feels like a rad Scandi version of Zara. they just opened a shop in Regent Street in London, so i expect they will be branching out further afield soon enough.

Toast

i really love the aesthetic of UK brand Toast. they have a wonderful collection of basics like breton tees, denim, classic leather items and menswear inspired pieces named after Diane Keaton (of course, who else). have a browse around their latest catalogue and also be sure to check out their gorgeous homeware collection.

Centre Commercial, Paris

Monday 4 February, 2013 / Fashion / Comments { 19 }

Centre Commercial is one of those rad Parisian concept stores that sells all sorts of accessories, clothes and accoutrements for men and women. i particularly love their collection of bags and shoes by designers like Sara Barner, Mimi, Osborn, Christine Phung andLa Botte Gardian - who make those amazing flat work boots. they also offer worldwide shipping, so if you can’t get to Paris any time soon…

Give Some Art

Monday 10 December, 2012 / Art / Comments { 4 }

my go-to gift, and also my favourite to receive, is a print or a piece of art for my wall (or floor, or shelf, or wherever i can squeeze it in due to impending space issues). 20×200 has a great gift guide going at the moment, which i think is perfect for the holidays. they specialise in limited edition prints at affordable prices, and you get them framed too so it’s a sweet deal all round. these are some of my favourites in their shop.
