27th August N4

Had a delightful trip to DSM with W11 yester and it had so many treats for the eyes. I had the hots for a tasseled structured shoulder top by a label called Toga by the designer Yasuko Furuta, all amazing peices (see the pics below). I also fell in love with some carrot cake in the cafe on the fourth floor. Yum.

After Balmain shook the catwalks last season with statement jackets with terrifyingly cool and harsh shoulders its seems A/W is definitely all about working the shoulder pads. Pleasingly This look totally suits me as I have small sloping shoulders and short arms and it definitely gives me some kind of body stature (well I think so). So after already investing in a pair of Russell & Bromley thigh high boots I thought it only natural I get the shoulders to match. So I have invested in one wool jumper with perky shoulders from Topshop and a silk top with HUGE shoulders from Zara. What a way to start my autumn wardrobe.
And just incase you thought I was walking down the dark side colour wise I bought a camel sherling coat to mix it up.

I'm just secretly wishing is was autumn already so I can rock my new wardrobe in public and not just in my livingroom. Also the handbag buyer at work popped in to the office today and commented that I'd lost weight. My lame attempt at the special K diet must have worked (or maybe it was the shoulder pads?) Who knows?
