Press Days: Yellow Door PR

Hi guys,
Well, Press Day season continues! I've been trying to squeeze in as many as possible, but with the day job and the wedding taking up a substantial amount of my time, I haven't been able to go to as many as I would like. It always confuddles me slightly that I spend my early summer days looking at clothes for the winter, and as the Autumn chill descents i'm thinking about clothes for the following summer! Last week I went to the Yellow Door PR press day to think about coats, boots, and all things winter: here are some shots of the pieces that most caught my eye:-

Obsessed with the vibrant colours and patterns of the A Wear knits, especially the orange and grey at the front of the rack:

Matalan are turning back to the loafer with their accessories, although there is nothing here that's new to the winter accessories we've just been wearing:

How can anyone resist spaceman silver brogue wedges my Acne? (I certainly can't!) These also came in a more sensible black, which i'd really love to get my hands on:


Just looking at all this winter fayre is making me feel a little chilly, and it's almost 20 degrees outside! I promise i'll look at some more summery seasonal appropriate fashions tomorrow instead: why would we wish our summer away, right?!

Love, Tor xx

Liberty, Liberty: Liberated

You know the next best thing to a sale? Why, it's an online sale of course! Liberty is my favourite London department store. It is a eclectic mix of fashions and it has such an amazing atmosphere; whenever I have an hour to kill in central London it is the first place I think to go (after my beloved Topshop of course!) So imagine my delight on browsing their website this evening and finding their online sale? It's like all the fun of shopping in Liberty but without the commute and with the added bonus of being curled up on my sofa wearing my Pjs (pink ones with unicorns on if you're interested!!)

When released from my prison of poverty, I intend to shop... so that this time next month I find myself locked inside another prison of poverty! Ah well, three out of four wonderful weeks a month ain't bad! And if left alone in Liberty for an hour or two, I suspect I will be coming out with a massive credit card bill and one of these:

Vivienne Westwood red iris crepe full dress, £178.50 (was £255)
Red Batik Silk Satin T Dress, Peter Pilotto £311.50 was £445
Coral bow front dress, See by Chloe. £238, was £340

Grey Duchamp Silky Tea Dress, Acne £136.50 was £195

.

It's always dresses with me isn't it? I didn't even take the time to look at the seperates! I love the shape of the VW dress which would be really flattering on my figure, I can't get enough of the pattern on the Peter Pilotto dress despite it's awkward length. It's like waves crashing against a wall of asian spices. But the dress that sends my pulse racing (and which I will be running down to Liberty to try on tomorrow) is the beautiful dove grey Acne dress. The beautiful layering, the ruffle details and the cutout shoulder; perfect (sigh of delight!)

Dear lord, I love the summer sales!

Love, Tor

PS- Vivienne Westwood fans might be interested to note that it seemed there was a lot of the grand dames garments scattered throughout the sale. Probably worth a look!
