October Summer

It's reached the 2nd of October and it's currently 27 degrees outside. This time last year it was snowing. Apparently this is an Indian summer, so basically now that everyone's packed away their summer clothes we all have to go out in odd combinations of thick socks and shorts and t-shirts from 5 years ago that are hidden in the back of our drawers. Being the super-disorganised person that I am, I actually still have a lot of my summer clothes lying around, so have been taking advantage of the sunshine to take photos actually outside for once.





Yay, sunny pics! Black vest, skirt I made out of a dress my grandma made for me when I was about 7, sunglasses from Forever 21, gold flats (that I love and therefore are falling to pieces) from Topshop, Mini Diana camera which I use to take awesome analogue photos which I then usually forget to get developed.
Inspired by Tom Ford's 1995 collection for Gucci, which I can't find photos of anywhere on the Internet but basically featured lots of really bright 50s shapes and fruit patterns. And also Stella McCartney's spring 2011:


And on another note, I went down to the Kid Robot store in Covent Garden yesterday. As I've mentioned before, I love vinyl toys, and seeing as I got a really cute zipper-pull from there I thought I'd show you all a couple of my other ones :)





The giraffe I painted myself from a 'Raffy' in the Munny range, the cute little teacup thing is a Lunartik and the zipper-pull is also from the Munny range. They're seriously the most uplifting things to have in your room and it's nice to be able to take photos of them in the sun, 'cause that's not something we get lots of here!
