Marc's Mix Up

I admit I don't have as much time to scroll through all the shows as I used to, but this season from what I have caught I've been left a little disappointed. Even my NY favourites - Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte have left me feeling a little flat...

So thank goodness for Marc! Who knew I needed a bin liner skirt and acid yellow headscarf? Well Marc did.

Marc's SS12 collection follows the pastel colour palettes that have been seen all over the NY catwalks this season with added pops of bright yellow. Plus there are subtle nods towards the last Prada AW show - soft textures mixed with plastic layers and pailettes.

Marc is back to his grungy, mixed up best. I love it!

Now let's see what he does for his final Vuitton show, no doubt this will be the show of the season as he goes out with a bang!

Marc Jacobs Resort 2012

Moving on

Earlier this year I blogged about my beautiful Marc Jacobs shoes, so beautiful....they broke.. first day.. on the Eurostar :(

But today in the MJ London store I found my new obsession

At £470 they are just a little out my price range... (I paid no where near this for my last pair which were luckily in the sale!)

Velour jellies with a wooden sole  -

and they have cleverly solved the problem I had with my last pair by securing the uppers to the soles with studs.
So clever.

So these or the Prada shoes? Which should be top of my dream wish list?

Sad times

Last month I bought my perfect pair of shoes in the Marc Jacobs sale in Paris.

Jelly uppers with a velvet platform semi wedge....beautiful, comfortable, 50% off and the last pair in the shop that just happened to be my size.

I trotted to work in them the very next day feeling fabulous, and kept them on to jump on the Eurostar back to London that evening.

But London, it would seem, was not fond of my new shoes and whilst walking through St Pancras I felt something wrong. 

Looking down in the taxi I noticed that not only had they broken, but the jelly uppers had split and were completely unmendable. Unfortunately I could do nothing but get a full refund the next week when I was back in Paris.

So this post is a tribute to beautiful shoes.

Have you ever spent too much money on something and then been left disappointed?

Looking forward

Marc's Bad Hair Day

Mr Jacobs wore a baseball cap to the Met Ball earlier this week...apparently he was telling everyone it was due to a bad hair day.
Loving his man bag clutch!

Saw Siri Tollerod in the Marc Jacobs show and I have decided she is my new favourite model.
Will be keeping an eye out to see who else she walks for during the next few weeks.
Let me know if you see her...
