It seems unless something is in trend you won't be able to buy it !! So this is where vintage and charity shops MUST come in, I am on the hunt for a oversized blazer. Topshop have them in brown and white and although they are really cool and the right cut I want a bright one, either a hot pink, powerful purple or a midnight blue. So I will be hunting one down. It is annoying when all shops seem to produce the same thing, no one seems to take a chance on a different colour palette the cut is there but the colours seem a little bla.
This was yesterdays outfit, I have a sudden passion for everything being in block colours, I think after seeing all the spring summer collections I decided I needed it now. As I got dressed I found a huge heap of stuff I was going to get rid of, I was in a different mind set but now I feel inspired and I had my 'this is how I want to dress' vision I think we all get those. Owww don't forget to enter my giveaway the last day for it is the 22nd January.
Things That I Rediscovery
The Library, not only is it free (apart from books being overdue) library's offer books, DVDs, and some have events for grown ups and children. I signed up Corben (my son) to the library at 6 months, it was the first time in about 6 years I had been in one. I have never been a huge book reader, I am dyslexic and so it can be a very frustrating experience reading a book cover to cover. There is so much more to a library it can be a place to just be still and quiet, I use to love to people watch when I was young and draw people. London for me can get a bit much, so the library is a great place to take my son and have some time. I found lots of design and art books that I was going to buy ages ago. Library's have come a long way they have books for almost everything, I will do a post on some I have at the moment they would be really useful for anyone doing fashion, fashion history, art and design and great kids books ....Plus I even picked up some pretty cool cook books , so more ' Can't cook take a look' posts coming soon.
The Museum, so I have ALWAYS been a huge museum geek I love them art gallery's aside (I love them even more), museums are great and there are so many in London we are really lucky. So I was more than a little shocked when chatting with a friend about the V&A, not only could I not remember the last time I was there but when I started thinking about the last museum I went to was before Corben was born !!! Yep I really am that sad that this upsets me, I love history and invention and the space in some of them. So I have requested that for my birthday I want to go to the science museum ...and inner nerd spills out.
So museum hit list will go (so breaking my no list rule :P)
- Science Museum / for my birthday ....I'm such a big kid.
- British Museum or The V&A
- Imperial war Museum
I think if I can just get to these I will well and truly get my museum fix down, yes I am a history junkie. So I will try and keep you updated, thank you for all your wonderful comments. Have You rediscover anything lately?
I rediscovered books, and I might start painting again, I do love it and I'm quite good....hmmm. Xxxxx

I've rediscovered reading. LOL! might sound weird but yeah, books books books. Im loving block colours atm too, a bright blazer would be amazing, i think navy ones look nice with a bright top and something?
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit post! The bright colour goes so well! xx
ReplyDeleteI spend far too much time in libraries..yup, plural!
ReplyDeletex
I have never heard the word snood. Does that mean scarf or is it a special kind of scarf? Either way that hot pink snood looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI like the library but I am horrible at returning items so I end up paying more in library fines than I would if I had just bought the book.
