Return to the sun?

Cruising around the shops today all bustling with new spring/summer trends of neutrals, florals, peaches and shorter lengths made me feel quite desolate when I walked out to trickles of rain, as if the stores are just tormenting me to keep my umbrella in tact and just stare at imagery of sunshine. After coming across this beautiful sunshine filled picture by Luxogram, which has actually been shot using Ektar film, remember film? I'm finding myself daydreaming about tearing up my dissertation notes and flying far far away to a warmer land... Oh dreams...

An arm and a leg

After a grueling week of cutting and sticking for a uni project, I'm finding myself moulding into my bed, completely at my blankets whim, hence my lack of posting... apologies!
Whilst in my solemn state, I've come across this amazing DIY tutorial that I must share! At first glance i just thought great trousers, without realizing they are actually sweater sleeves sewn onto cycling shorts...

To watch them move

Video look books and designer's "look book movies" have recently become more and more popular as a way of transmitting a message and an experience behind a collection, I'm pretty sure the first video of this nature I watched was YSL's last year starring his son portraying tearful, young love. Parisian designer Vanessa Bruno in a far more uplifting manner, has made a gorgeous video for her Spring/Summer 2010 collection showing montages of dancing, laughing, rolling down sand hills, playing with bed sheets and seducing piano players, all the while in gorgeous lace, knits and lingerie.

What's the verdict on backpacks?

A while ago I blogged about this Chanel backpack and just stumbled across this picture and the subject has pounced into my thoughts again... Could we erase the schoolgirl connotations of the backpack if it is leather, studded or branded?

I know these have nothing to do with my backpack pondering but wanted to share them...
