boxing day bargain, from me to you

I found myself contemplating this sass & bide tank on their website, and was ready to take the plunge when I found it on the General Pants website for half the price!

Don't you love it when that happens! 

I hope you all got v v spoilt x

P.S. If the above top reminds you too much of 2007/2008's "fluoro debacle" it's OK, I get it. 

But much like post the 80's blue eyeshadow mentality, when everyone alive in the world at that time swore off its evil, 2009 rolled around and it became clear it wasn't the colour that's the problem, but the way you wear it. 

So when it comes to neon sartorial choices, do yourself a favour and don't wear it to music festivals, don't wear it with reflective stickers, and please refraining from raving in said garments. I really can't stress that point enough. Don't do it.

pointed post

In circa 2006, I think I swore off pointed heels forever. There were just too many of those pointed kitten heel pumps going around - with that gathered leather at the toe, sort of pleated? You remember. Anyway at at point I swore to myself that I hate pointed heels, and I would never be caught dead in them.

But a cool 5 years later and I'm well and truly on the pointed pump train once again. Decidedly more chic and less kitten-oriented, I love this look with skinny jeans, tailored pants or even the right dress.

Mandatory features: 

- no platform under the toe (quickly becoming mandatory for all my footwear choices)

- either completely flat (usually boots) or minimum 3 inch heel
- give me pleated leather/pleather and you give me death

Some (thoroughly) acceptable choices:

1 & 2. Nowhere

3. Alexander Wang

4 & 5. Isabel Marant

6. Celine

7 & 8. Prada (photos courtesy of Style By Kling)

neon: it's like fluro except it's good

Ok, you caught me - there was no part two of my net-a-porter wish list. My laptop was AWOL (work Christmas party resulting in my things being left behind). So, in apology, I present to you possible the best new partnership in this festive season. Neon + denim.

Potentially controversial but I think, amazing.

1. Christopher x J Brand

2. Elizabeth and James 

Now, despite these two images coming from normally well curated sites, I think the styling in these shots is awful, and at this point you're ready to write me off. But bear with me...

Convinced? I hope so.
