craig lawrence: extreme knitter
you may already know of the lovely craig lawrence, hes young, but boy can that boy knit. his last collections have been amazing but unwearable, featuring mermaid dresses with mere centimetres of leg movement and bundles of tinselesque gold things head to toe.now finally, something with flair and functionality has emerged!
this was my favourite piece, its a good balance between dark and spangly, could be worn to suit most styles (dress it up with heels and leggings or down with skinnies, boots and a biker jacket) and the knit hangs in a way that flatters, it skims it doesnt sag. this would be a great addition to a religiously black wardrobe, or a great addition to mine.. hint.
heres a few of his earlier creations if you think youre brave enough
see, hes got me wondering if really, it might not be that bad to go out flashing my gold clad crotch, would it?
ok. maybe this ones just taking it too far,
unless youre fancy dress theme is tinsel of course.

modcloth medal of honour
oh look! hes very sweet isnt he?
he would be happiest perched on your blazer or military jacket i think.
there are a few other styles on modcloth, the nautical anchory one nearly made it up here too!
ps thankyou to my first few followers, youve made me very happy

this was going to be about patterned trousers but
if anyone feels like marrying me, i plan on wearing this or something very similar, even if it goes completely against previous musings that a rainbow wedding dress might be nice. not that i think about my non existant wedding ever... no really, i dont..
*if you marry me, i do plan on looking like this, but may closer resemble a small child raiding her grandma's wardrobe.

peter jensen
inspired by his favourite childrens' book, peter came up with this collection at resort 2011. this one is by no means going to appeal to everyone but for me its just the right mix of cute and creepy to save it from being too little girly and sickly sweet.
see what i mean? the whole girly vs grotesque vibe? its also got lots of colour, lots of shiny, lots of patterns and is definatly err.. kooky shall we say. no wonder im a fan. oh, and would it be too much to go to the christmas party in a dress that looks like a present?
this last one is my favourite, the sport socks keep it casual and id be tempted to either wear some shiny black brogues or these canvas trainer style white wedges with it. this look is really easy to recreate by the way, and itll definately make you stand out in a crowd without being too 'out there' (personally id remove the bow, or at least move it to a position less vision restricting.)

quite a nice tee
like the little birds and the design is simple and colourful. what i really like though, is that the site (wiloh) uses organic bamboo and is generally kinder to the envirinment than most, theres quite a mix of styles so there may be something that floats your boat if you're looking for a tshirt. even if you arent, theyre less than £20 with international postage and they provide clothing to 3rd world children. lovely.

bebaroque
before i say anything more, lets establish that I LOVE TIGHTS. good. now i know these babies (bebaroque 'saylor') are by no means new, in fact ive probably been lusting after them for over a year now, waiting for the £40 price tag to drop
unfortunately, they have decreased in price as much as my wealth for buying £40 tights has increased, which is not at all. on the bright side, new look sell white tights for about £4 and berol sell fabric pens for £5 (thats a whole pack of multicoloured fun, not one pen, by the way) so if youre at all artistic or possess the ability to trace you can have all the beautiful tights you desire. do be careful ironing them to fix the ink though, i went for the lazy 'hold it on there for a while just to make sure' method that i use with tshirts and my iron got covered in plasticy tight corpse. oh, and this works on most light colours and looks equally awesome on nude. if you need proof ill leave you with bebaroque's... aaah.
