today was not a great idea for my willpower, but thankfully the internet allows me to browse.
Once again, the limited/Unique/designer collaborations have me reaching for my wallet...
(L - R; Christopher Kane for Topshop linen dress £120, Unique Splodge print dress £95, Limited Edition stripe blazer £60, Premium platform lace-up boot £95)
The attraction to the Christopher Kane dress is obvious I guess. I was a huge fan of his first collection for Topshop (I have a top and a dress from it), and his collaborations just seem to be improving. I saw a girl in Topshop in the skirt from the new collection and it looked amazing.
The Unique dress is beautiful in person, and I'm a huge sucker for floral print anyway. But I actually already own a vintage dress in a similar pattern, and even if I didn't, £65 is a lot to pay for something I could probably thrift under £10.
The blazer is very Balenciaga-esque and would look great with the floral dress underneath. I do like it a lot but I couldn't persuade myself to part with the money.
However, the same cannot be said for the shoes. They are incredible! The perfect mix of edgy, subversive and slightly minxish. I enjoy the platform very much (despite knowing I'd be in 6" + territory). Anyway, despite their price tag, I may have to indulge, because shoes this great don't come along often. And I will get 10% off (thank you student discount!)
