Hello my little friends. This outfit post is based on a handy little cardi that I got in Pennys recently. I'm not a big Penny's shopper, and no, it's not because I'm a fashion snob. Trus' me, I am an equal opportunities shopper. What I am a wee bit snobby about however, is fabric. Man made fabrics make my skin choke. My preference is to buy clothes made from natural fibres (where possible). I think they wear and breathe better. Ergo, you will look and smell better.
Anyhoo, last week a big gust of wind blew me through the doors of Pennys and long story short, I found this little cardi. Whatismore, it is 80% wool. EIGHT-Y PER CENT WOOL I TELL THEE!!
I need to get out more.
P.S I have included a link below to a great website called Re-dress. I have done one of their courses and I'd recommend them to a friend; that means you punks!

Back to black!
As for the skirt, I have a little story for you. I bought a leather skirt via the amazing Asos) and ordered a size 10 (U.K sizes) but was sent an 8. It was a bit of a squeeze so I decided to send it back. HOWEVER, genius here left the package down on top of the cooker which I did not know was on and my lovely skirt started to cook!! I came back into the kitchen to find a mass of molten plastic packaging and leather bubbling away. I managed to rescue it just in time with most of the damage confined to the waistband. However, now I am stuck with a skirt that is fine to wear when standing up but a lil' snug when sitting down. Oh well! I suppose I'll just have to stay standing. Sitting down is so 2010. Slán!

| Perfection! |
Hello my little friends. I thought I'd post the video for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 show. The entire production was beautiful, whimsical and exceedingly polished. Bjork playing in the background at certain parts added to this whimsy. Once again, Ms. Kate stole the show looking clean and serene. Based on this collection we'll all be wearing '60s influenced embroidery anglaise next summer, wafting around like flower power nymphs.
On another note, can you imagine the cost of staging this show? The world economy may be teetering in its Louboutains on the brink of collapse but some people out there are obviously still buying a lot of Louis. Regardez!

What is this terror? what is this ecstasy? he thought to himself. What is it that fills me with extraordinary excitement? It is Clarissa, he said. For there she was.

I am off to a wedding this weekend and then to the sun! I can't wait to feel some heat on my bones!
Have a great weekend!

'Oh the places you'll go'
I loves me some ankle boots and was inspired recently by the super blog www.wheredidugetthat.com to make my own..sort of. Karen (oh, we're so on first name terms..not!) has put up a couple of posts of knee length boots of hers that she has gotten bored with and chopped. Soo, I did the same with a pair of 60s style knee-high boots that I liked but just wasn't wearing. Making them shorter has made them seem brand new to me which is good for my wardrobe and m'bank balance!
Good times...good times!

'What's new pussycat?'
Dear Reader,
I like leopard print a lot and hope you can accept this. From time to time I will plaster this blog with leopardy images and I hope you are going to be okay with that. Okay? Super!
Best Regards,
We All Partied.
P.S Love you!Bye!
P.P.S The LK Bennett dress below is not something I'd normally buy nor is it a shop I normally go to but this dress is very sexy on. It's totally covered up but still hot, hot, hot! It's my twist on conservative dressing.

Oh my my, Miu Miu
I love these Miu Miu sparklers for Autumn/Winter 2011. I am not too keen on the fact that their current model is 14 year old actress Hailee Steinfeld, given that it the line is aimed at grown women however. I'm sure they won't be losing any sleep over my humble opinion though.
Next season's offerings from Miu Miu are whimsical and wearable. These shoes project strength and femininity with the thick, somewhat sturdy heel grounding the frivolity of the pastel colours and glitter. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and, for whatever reason, these cartoony confections make my heart go pitter patter. I can imagine a desperately cracked up 1940s housewife/Minnie Mouse wearing them to pop to the shops. I on the other hand might look a bit odd running around the local Centra in them but I willing to give it a go.

| Oh my my Miu Miu! |

| It's too much. I can't take their beauty! |
 |
| They're long, pink, perfections; they're shoe-a-licious! |

'There is a season, turn turn, turn..'
Someone told me the other day that, en Irlande, we are officially already into autumn!? This is upsetting.
That said, I like planning for autumn/winter dressing as extended periods of sunshine are sporadic over here. Good thing I'm off to the sun in less than two weeks (see the way I casually dropped that into the convo? No? Oh..) I can't waaaait!! Meanwhile...
