Baroquing super-brights.

For a day of starting a new writing project that I'm uber-excited about, I'm wearing my new Topshop shorts and a Critical Mass jacket that my godmother bought me upon getting my Leaving Cert results. I have no idea why I don't wear it more often, it's one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. From the Baroque-style print with putti and floral flourishes on the back, to the pure, sky-blue colour, to the beautiful buttons, to the wonderful tailoring; it's a little slice of perfection. Today was another venture in playing with super-bright colour - pairing the lime shorts with sky-blue jacket and using the navy of these Urban Outfitters top and Topshop suede and wood platforms to tone down the look. Gotta avoid clownishly bright! The final touch was one of my favourite bags - a wonderfully big leopard print affair from Marc by Marc Jacobs - Marc knows how to do tasteful animal prints!

Weather denial on acid.

Rain, why you so stupid, stupid? Yup, big shocker, Irish weather is being crap. The almost entirely white outfit I was wearing this morning got traded in for something practical but super-super-bright. It's summer, goddammit, and I'm gonna dress like it! And then, y'know, put a raincoat on top of that...Met Bri-Bri and Sarah D (what a Sarah-filled week!) for one of our extended tea sessions today and I realised how thoroughly my life revolves around tea...sad. I'm also on a major Frank Ocean bender which means that the booty is out and the dancing when no one is looking is totally on. His songs are just so sexy...

Jumper - Topshop - Bandage skirt - Smoove (yeah, I've never heard of it either) - Pink Docs - Tights - Dunnes (such good hosiery!) - Raincoat - Heatons - Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs
