Hot Or Knot

You can't have failed to notice that knots are everywhere this season. And I don't just mean in my hair. My good blogger buddy Mission Style absolutely smashed it when she put this look together a few weeks back, so I thought I'd give it a whirl myself. Few words of warning though: 1) Don't attempt to double layer your knits and jump on the knot hype if the weather is above twelve degrees. You will boil. 2) Don't attempt this look if you like breathing. It's fairly impossible. 3) Don't tie your jumper like a complete div, as I have done, in the style of a baby's bib. Not chic. Make sure it's in more of a sideways situation and 4) Don't attempt knitted legginz unless you are feeling big love for Nora Batty, as they will go baggy, and make you look fatter than you are. Excuses, excuses. So, pieces-wise Zara are now doing these here leggings in dark grey, which I think we can all agree are fairly sick. Also, my fedora now comes in black, which I need need need like the stupid shopalholicky MOFO that I am. The skinny knit is now only available in the mustard as you probably know, and this is my basic-bitch-jumper-cum-bib knit, but this is also a ledge shape, is it (k)not? Catch you soon xx

The It Knit

You've doubtless seen this skinny knit all over the blogosphere recently, and with good reason. It is the dopest, bestest, sickest jumper of the season. (So far that is. Zara are too insanely good at knitwear and I'm sure they've got a lot more incred pieces for us to come yet). The ideal thing to wear with it is the matchy-matchy pants for that full-on Céline look- which, I have to confess, I have bought too :) I didn't shoot them here though as it was wayyyy too hot, and I also wanted to give my newish jeans a bit of a run-out. These beauts are a dupe of the Made In Heaven Phoebe, which I've always wanted but could never afford. So, thanks Topshop (as per). Unfortunately, the knit is sooo skinny that it clings to every roll of fat that's being pushed out the top of the aforementioned newish jeans, so soz for making you witness that. I also have to apologize for the plethora of crossed-arm shots in this shoot. I totally wore the wrong bra, so them fings were dragging on the ground like a neanderthal man's knuckles. Next time I will be a triumph of support, Spanx and matchy-matchyness. Catch you soon xx
