Getting My Emo On

Jeans: Sussan
Striped Top: Dorothy Perkins
Cardigan: Barkins
Shoes: Wittner
Bangle: Phillipa

So I finally managed to find a pair of narrow leg black trousers that I liked, and astonishingly, they're actually jeans.

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with black jeans. Especially narrow leg black jeans. Alongside a sulky demeanour and too much hair product it's generally recognised as being an Emo wardrobe staple and since I battle against Emo tendencies on darker days anyway I've always tried to steer away from resembling one as I, at 31, am well past their usually mid-to-late-teens prime.

Still, a couple of the groovy gals in my bookclub also embrace the dark denim look and look fantastic doing it, so I'm being a copycat and trying my hand at it too.

I figure coupled with a cardigan, a couple of brooches and a grin I'm bucking the Emo trend and joining them in reclaiming the narrow-leg black denim jeans for those who deserve it the most.

Green Is Good

Shirt: Events
Shoes: Zu
Belt: Fiorelli
Bangle: Philippa


Well, thank God for that - my Hairy Godmother's back from her jetsetting travels, which means that my fringe is back!

Ever since seeing NinaRibena from Tango & James at the Handmade Market wearing an outstanding apple green jacket I've been secretly pining for one myself.

I spotted this one at Veronika Maine; a label I've always loved, but whose clothes are not cut to encompass the more generously endowed among us. Fortunately this jacket can be worn open.
