This print and this bag send me into a rapturous delirium of acquisitiveness, oh yes pleeease imaginary secret benefactor!

I need to be a very watchful mummy owl, just like the bird in Amy Ruppel’s lovely painting. My owlet isn’t very well and I need to take a little break from the computer until the middle of next week. I hope to be back on wednesday for a super productive email session and another wonderful interview. In the meantime have a peek at these beautiful accessories from Eatable Of Many Orders, strange name but all will become clear if you visit their website. I had planned a longish post on ‘Eatable’ but I guess it is not to be, so do enjoy these images, such very beautiful work, pieces of art really!

Today is a pretty one, just crying out for some delicious handmade goodness. I have been spending too much time over the past couple of days grappling with my dissatisfaction over the images that are currently in my Etsy shop, wrangling with their lack of personality and marveling at everyone else’s fantastic shots. Really, I would like to start again, revaluate and learn a lot more about photography. I have a few new things for the LL&O shop waiting in line to have their photograph taken, I am thinking of postponing this weeks shop update so that I can find some time to concentrate fully on lights and the camera. We will see. Less frustratingly, make sure that you pop back later in the week for another super fantastic interview. Until later my dears.

Libertine design the kind of clothes I would love to wear but I know they wouldn’t suit me, I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, big bum and boobs, frills and flounces are a big no, no! I really like the mix of styles and sources of inspiration here. Skull prints seem to be popping up all over the place at the moment, Topshop carry more accessible versions of this print. I will have to wait for autumn, I can do beautiful, big coats!

Oh and Libertine have collaborated on some plush too! I love these crazy, hybrid pandas. It would be fun to try something similar…hmm!

And for Autumn/Winter 09/10 some seriously lovely coats, roll on winter, I never know how to dress for warm weather but frosty is a dream for me!

I love sneak peeks, especially when they involve super fancy pants clothes from Makool. If you care for a preview head on over to the Makool collections site, ultra dreamy! Thank goodness that the model above has my current leg colour, I am embracing the lily-white, post-winter leg show, I don’t tan!

I adore hats but they don’t suit me, my little noggin freezes in the winter as a result. If I could get one of these Red Riding Hood hoods in a tiny size my boy would do the bonnet honours for me, luckily Ishi looks charming in chapeaux!

That bicycle is a delight and as for that blouse…!

This is my favourite blue, I could melt into it.

My tummy is doing flips, this is all so girly!

I realized this week that I have taken a trip in a time machine, sartorially speaking, back to 1986! Breton shirt, denim shorts, thick wool tights, oversize cardigan, dark blue Converse. I am wearing the same ‘uniform’ I rigged myself out in when I was 16 & it feels so very ‘me’! I just can’t do super groomed, elegant, ultra-feminine. If I could (and had a large trust fund or similar) I would be beating down the doors of Kenzo to get my paws on the Autumn/winter 09/10 collection.

Folkloric, flowers, foliage, babushka, cossack style. The most beautifully tailored coats, patchwork smocks. Ok, I need the smelling salts, swoon!

Antonio Marras’ collection reminded me of an illustration I saw a while ago over at Flickr by Kitty Vane.

Just gorgeous! I am sending out a plea for an Astulabee, Kitty Vane, Le Train Fantome adult apparel line with knitwear and jewelry by Resurrection Fern, styling and illustrated detailing by Hibou Caillou Chou, so very ‘now’ kittens!

I snuck out of the tipi for this one, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to put together my fantasy fashion ‘A-Team’! Who would feature in your fantasy collaboration?
