Bounce

This video, styled by Katie Grand, is making me hark back to being a kid.  Remember that game where an adult would slowly pull their hand down over their face, changing their expression underneath it in a way that seemed magical?  This video is like a fashion version of this, with Dree Hemingway bouncing up in down on Hampstead Heath, wearing a different outfit for every reappearance in the shot.

The shoot was created in 2010 and Dree wears Miu Miu archive and resort, but fittingly it looks like she's wearing SS11 pieces because of all the colour and print involved.



The choral sound and the slowing down of the shots makes the video ethereal but fun, making me think of lazy summer days where one minute you're feeling drowsy, basking in the sun, and the next you're running around a beach or a patch of grass after a quick sugar boost in the form of a Mr. Whippy.

Summer is definitely a'coming.

Primarni's Spring Summer Collection

 

Ah, funk.  Primark and my empty purse have clearly been conspiring against me.  They've come up with this collection together because they know I won't be able to resist cheap and pretty/ pretty cheap clothes.  It's not fair; I've been trying to spend less on throwaway fashion so that I can afford to eat splurge once in a while, and I've been trying to pare down my wardrobe so that it's easier to dress myself in the morning.

Guess this means that despite my best efforts my wardobe will remain bulky and I won't be able to afford that bag of oranges Stella McCartney's lemon and satsuma printed dress.

Woe is me.

SS11

I wish fashion would calm down sometimes.  Chill out a little bit.  Maybe take a break and go find itself in Thailand.  

This is purely so that I can have some time to catch up with what's going on. I mean, I'm only just easing myself into buying my SS11 pieces and it's already this year's New York Fashion Week.

Here I am, feeling ridiculous that I've been getting excited about sunglasses for weeks, and the fashion industry is getting hyped up about what everyone's going to be wearing in September.

That's why I thought I'd try and rewind time by taking us back to last AW where everyone was planning SS (this is NOW!).  Especially since I haven't actually given you a rundown of the trends you're going to be wearing in the next few months yet.  Here are some of my favourites.

So, I'll be wearing bright orange flares and a white t-shirt with huge floral accessories.  Until September that is.  Then I'll have a fashion-induced breakdown due to trend overload and will have to undergo therapy after constantly attempting to remove all my clothes in public spaces.

Oops!

 What will you be wearing?
