I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Top – Mumma’s, Skirt – Paul & Joe sister, Shoes – Mini for Many via the Outnet, Bag – Furla Candy Bag, Watch – ASOS, Bracelet – COS

Thank you Macku for the shots!

Me: (In the changing room) Hey sweetie can you get me 39, uh shoes, to try on with this dress?

Me: (muffled inside the dress) size 39 shoes that is…

Significant other: What, you want me to get you thirty nine pairs of shoes?

Me: …

Significant other: Oh screw you.

Who knew I’d be back in Bicester Village, beast’s abode, so soon? Well fret not, took my knight in shining armour to get him more suits and shirts for work because unlike me he’s got a real job to go to (saving unicorns and beheading dragons) and he’s a perfect bodyguard against the beast. Except for these McQueen heels I scored for £89 (80% off!), he allowed that claw gash for some reason…

On a separate note, Pennyblack’s Blog & the City Facebook Moodblog quiz is up if you’re bored!

    i see from your facebook page that you’re now using the canon 50mm f1.4 lens instead of the sigma. do you prefer it over the sigma?

    you are my favorite blogger!!

    De-lurking to say that the outfit is cute, your pics (as always) are lovely, and that I serendipitously just made a skirt quite like yours. Good job with the contrasty shoes!

    39 pairs of shoes?! LoL, I’d like that, hahahaha. I’ve bought 3 new pairs in two days, which is admittedly an alltime best.
    By the way, seeing you in flats is quite astonishing and you certainly rock this outfit. love it.

    Have a great new week.

    Love how you paired the skirt with the shoes and that unexpected bag.
    I can see all those beautiful textures and patterns all in one shot.
    Really adore how bold you dress.

    Thanks for the unexpected :)

    oh my gosh! STYLE ME! great outfit although I’m sure I didn’t need to tell you. Also – how does the ASUS(?) device compare to the iPad? I have the older iPad, but the technologically hungry part of me is craving an investment!

    Beautiful photos as always! I love your outfit for so many reasons: the playfulness of patterns/textures, the classic Stepford wife chic silhouette paired with those amazing shoes (on a side note my typography teacher has similar shoes, which makes me love them ten times more/associate them with inspiring graphic designers), that elegant sweetness that you always pull off, and your amazing bag (which in theory should take away from the complete loveliness but does not at all, it actually enhances it). Your outfits are so unique, they show your personality and in my opinion show that you are a creative thinker, problem solver, decision maker, especially when it comes to fashion! I love it!
