Mr Jacobs! You make me blush!

How sexulous is the A/W 2013-4 Louis Vuitton collection?

Like...damn.

I want, I want, I want. But incoherent babbling aside; I surprised. Normally, for me, surprise is a bad thing when it comes to the offerings from fashion houses. This is not so much because of change, as I love to be pleasantly surprised...but often they're not the pleasant kind. Departures often spell disasters. Jacobs' sense of sex is nothing entirely new (think even of his fronting his own fragrance campaign) but the Louis Vuitton shows of late have been tailored and boxy. Now we have a similar era as the inspiration once more but expressed differently. This isn't the formal lady of the forties, this is the sex kitten that was hiding beneath. Think screen sirens; think rolling around on top of a piano; think luxurious fabrics lying against, and slipping down, bare skin.

Enough of a mind-picture? Have some actual pictures!

And PS: Maybe the entire pj look is not quite the ticket but underwear as outwear done tastefully is always perfect.

A Christmas Summary.

It's been one of the nicest Christmases I've had in a while. I mean, they're always nice and our parents spoil my sibs and I but this one was especially lovely. Beginning with Christmas shopping in Dublin and staying with the family in a hotel (which is so bizarre when I live in the city), then awesome food at my boyfriend's  birthday family celebrations, then Paris, then hanging with friends in Dublin, then returning home and getting way more than I deserved from the family, then everyone getting along despite two days of feeding the extended fam at our house and then lovely days of playing Mario Kart with the sibs, reading, eating and playing dress-up with my new clothes. And now it's a new year! Happiest of 2013s to you all.

Christmas socks - endlessly awesome.

Super-christmassy.

Panda-jamas - A Christmas Eve tradition to get a new pair of jammies...despite now being 21, it continues.

Topshop Pyjamas

Had quite a Christmassy weekend at home and it made me think about pyjamas. Me and my sibs get new jammies every Christmas eve and here are some goodies from Topshop which will be definite contenders this year. Such cute jim-jams!

I LOVE Labyrinth and these pj's were so sweet that I almost cried a little. 

How adorable!

These are quite sexy but in a non-flaunty kind of way - remind me of a more modest version of Anya's pyjamas in the musical episode of Buffy.

Loving the vintage feel of this one!
