Everyone’s doing it this season. From high street store, Uniqlo, to high-end label, Mulberry. The simple t-shirt in once again fashionable, except this time it isn’t about sporting the names of rock bands across your chest. Instead, it’s about cool, funky designs and patterns that only a true artist could conjure.

Like I said, I’m hunting for my perfect bag (clearly, I need help!). I’m looking at way more bags than I ever have in my life in such a short period of time, so I’m starting to notice certain trends. For example, many designers who haven’t previously chosen to do so are using large metal plates on their bags. Kate Spade has a rather overstated version that I’m not such a fan of, and then more successfully here although I still don’t like the bag.

I spend a lot of time browsing different fashion-related sites online, and I do mean a lot! Some of it is for research purposes, and other times it’s because I’m looking for a particular item or I want something pretty. In the latter instances, I’m turning more and more to shopjinny.com.

Bag Hunt: ‘Great’ by Sandie

So as some of you may know, I’m on a bit of a bag hunt. Which means I have been staring at lots of them, and I do mean LOTS, during the few moments of free time I have. I’ve come up with two favourites so far, both by Rebecca Minkoff (to shoulder strap, or to satchel? conundrum!), but I also discovered a relative newcomer on the designer bag circuit. ‘Great’ by Sandie is a France-based line that uses ultra-soft leather that has been tumbled to give it a comfy vintage-boho look (and when I say soft, I mean buttery, creamy, creme-fraiche soft). I love the braided handle and simple pleat detail on the “Daisy“.

Unable to take the plunge and actually chop my hair, I have found a less permanent way to have a spring fling with my ‘do. When you are known for your scruffy ‘bird’s nest’ locks like I am, it is amazing the difference it makes when you scrape your hair off your face into a neat top knot.

Scattered all over the S/S runways from Lanvin to Rodarte, it is a severe look which contrasts beautifully with all that femininity and flowers for Spring.

I Dream of Dresses: Dream and Awake

I like my dresses with a story. Finding them, mainly, in charity shops means that I have to make them up. They become the little characters that live in my wardobe (i’m not crazy, I promise). Which is why I was so excited to stumble upon Dream and Awake, a little collective of girls who remake found vintage dresses like prescious treasures with a secret history.

After an atrocious week at work made better only by how god-awful my weekend was, I needed something pretty, I needed it fast, and I needed it not to cost a ton of money (yeah right, this is Manhattan!).

Closet Solutions: Rakku Shoe Wheel

I stumbled upon this image of the Rakku Shoe Wheel while blog-surfing today and was just mesmerized by it. Most women struggle to find ample storage space for all of their shoes. Stacked in the original boxes, strewn about on the floor, precariously hanging from one of those over-the-door shoe racks, there hasn’t really been a great way to keep things organized and easily accessible.
