White is right

Dear luggage lovers, 

There is something so right about white when it comes to luggage. Hugely impractical, forever scuffing, dirt attracting but so deliciously fabulous.

Under - Water

 

Dear water rioters, 

There is something about water and metallics. The shine, the mythical mermaid, ferocity and a million other things that would take too long and be too tedious to go into at length.
To sum it up, wet is where its at.

Teenage kicks

Dear blue jean gangs, 

Don't you just dote on denim? A dungaree and a double dose of the blue stuff just totally floats my boat.

Sincerely, Thread

Shake your Twenties Hips

Dear hoarder soulmates, 

So following my lace love here comes the second sensation. 1920's pleated and frilled from the waist down. All i want to do is wiggle, awkward and embarrassing....potentially.

Roksanda's colour riot

Dear clashing carnival, 

Roksanda Ilincic is possible the colour queen and after popping into Starworks SS12 press day i was bowled over by shades that fizzed through my body. Beautiful does not even cover it, don't you agree?

Sincerely, Thread

Rochas, i met you and now i want you too

Dear heaven on a heel, 

Pink, satin, seriously chic. Are you the perfect shoe?

Sincerely, Thread

Lace you layers or layer your lace

Pastel potential

Dear shade sharers, 

I am about to be a pastel devotee, with a strict rule that black is where its at i have decided to discard such a defeatist attitude and embrace a softer situation. The turning point? A pastel satchel and seriously sexy stationary at the Modus press day. Can't beat good stationary.

Colour stripes

Dear stripe stars, 

the coolest colourway around. Jaeger earned its fashion credentials with an array of serious styles from their different collections for SS12. I could have dressed myself top to toe in the big J. 

Sincerely, Thread

Tartan Trousers

Dear trouser hounds, 

I couldn't resist snapping this happy combo, a wide leg tartan trouser with a pair of sleek patent loafers. The perfect winter ensemble. Could you get more chic?

Sombre or not you can't beat top to toe black

Dear one shade show stoppers, 

Though my 'friends' constantly tell me to shed the shade there is no way that i will veer from the dark side. Its all about the impact of black.

Navy, winter, hats. Hell Yeah.

Dear winter enthusiasts, 

Lets just get a hold of how HOT this hat is. Leather, navy and cut as sharply as a tailored suit even with its flimsy appearance. Its just beautiful and that's all i have to say about that, oh other than i am also top to toe navy blue, never a better shade. 

Sincerely, Thread

Image Sourced, slap my wrists i'm so sorry i can't remember!

I want what you've got: Pastel winter wear

Dear pastel posse,

I am drooling at the mouth in want, a Balenciaga neoprene pastel pink construction WITH A HOOD is frankly too much. I love it. Pick up your pastels is Saturdays moto.

Dear rhyming rythmatists, 

Couldn't resist the above header. Bows and Polo's my new favourite thing.

Joseph adoration

Dear minimalist minds, 

If your doing anything this spring/summer make sure to develop a long standing crush on Joseph, there press day was a breath of lightweight, luxe staples that will charm you to jelly. Waffle knit jumpers, shorts and tops, with flashes of neon and loose silk shapes in the forms of coats and oversized shirts. I defy you not to jump on Joseph its the brand of the moment.
