April, May

I'd never heard of the April, May brand until I glanced over their lookbook, posted on FashionGoneRogue just recently. I noticed that basic as they are, I really like some of the looks and pieces so saved a handful of images. I don't know if it's just me shifting my focus as I 'mature', or if it actually is more prominent, but I'm noticing a lot more pared-down investment pieces floating around right now. Well cut staples are on my radar.

More Polyvore sets

Here's some more of the sets I made over the past few days on Polyvore...

I've been meaning to do a post on the above T-Shirt for a while now. I bought it about a month or two ago from Farfetch.com while I was working there. It's by Zoe Karssen, a new cult T-shirt label that has recently launched on Net-a-Porter and ASOS. This particular tee tells the story of my life, hence the hefty investment.

Ray-Ban Cat Eye-Frames - Be Mine

It's not that I've only just realised there is a trend for Cat eye sunglasses - Alexander Wang and Miuccia Prada, we thank you - but I got an urge to try some recently, and once I found out Ray-Ban make them now too, I was straight to Selfridges to try a pair on.

Anyone that's been shopping for sunnies with me will know that it's rare for me to be satisfied with how they fit. It took me a couple of years to accept that I could never rock aviators like Mila can. I even bought a pair of Wayfarers that I'm not entirely convinced actually look great on me. But these...

... they were a dream. Costing £110 & £150 respectively @ Net-a-Porter, I'm gonna have to hope people are generous for my upcoming birthday, and that my patience will last until I could at least seek them out in Duty Free at the airport en route to Vegas.

I have been seeking out a pair of high street copies for a couple of weeks since my meeting with the babies above, but alas I have been failed. Diamante details, dodgy colours or just all out dodgy shapes mean I'm sticking with my Wayfarers for now.
