night to day to night.

I have a certain affinity with clothing that provides a seamless transition between the night and day. Reading about T by Alexander Wang and the slouchy laidback feel that could be worn both in and out of bed. 
No matter where I look, I find myself drawn back to A.Wang and the simple lines and wearable pieces he almost effortlessly provides from season after season. The resort collection is the latest example of this- basic colours, clean lines and mixed up proportions.
As the temperatures have been creeping up I keep on reaching for the loosest items that fall into the questionable category of top/ shirt or dress? It seems to work.
( suede jacket- H&M, shirt dress H&M, rings- various) 
PS- can you see the heart in the last photo- that's a huge thankyou to all of you!xx Katie.x

the weekend.

Incredible day spent at the horse races - champagne, strawberries and the perfect amount of frivolity. Completely exhausting but well worth every minute. I usually find when I pick according to the most striking jockey attire- I win the most!
 ( probably not recommended.)Proper outfit post coming soon!

tribal meets utility.

Freshly fueled with a myriad of images encompassing the looks 'global traveler' 'urban sportswear' 'tribal' and 'utility chic' I seem to have made up a sort of utility tribal outfit that wraps the two styles together. Hopefully the result is something fun, and with a few adjustments could certainly work for both day or night.

ever wanted to skateboard down a really high mountain?

So this is what I wore....
I love this stuff ...the stories alone are genius, and one huge hi-five for the marketing! I am in need of the extra 'spark', and as for 'defence'- yep those sick days cos 'i'm actually sick' are endless! 
Who could resist the backdrop? I thought for those who haven't read these already, the stories are sure to raise a few smiles!

So this is what I saw.... Manchester City Art Gallery 
The origami dogs were genius....

The exploding cutlery and porcelain lampshade.

The incredible metal contour design chair, and the Levi 501 perching chair!!...

I hope that as I return slowly to full health- the more exciting my blog will be- more places to visit and adventures to share with you all!
Thanks for reading! Katie.xx
