The Row resort 2012 - This is a rather excellent display of pattern on pattern on pattern, Charles Anastase s/s 2009, Anastase boots, further CA 2009 - the tights, Random mish-mash layering - grungy pattern mixing at Joseph resort 2012.

I was flicking through family holiday snaps from some years back when I stumbled on photographs of my sister wearing a particularly fetching striped Topshop sundress. Immediately, I was inspired to dig the garment in question out from whatever forgotten corner it resided in. I need not have searched too hard as I found it neatly tucked away in said sibling's wardrobe, and luckily, she was willing to pass the dress onto me.

For me, it seemed almost like the natural thing to pair the dress with striped tights. I am not quite sure why this is, but it just seemed to make sense. I like the idea of layering pattern on pattern - there's something playful but confrontational about it. It's a little...how would you say...WTF.. but this can only ever be a good thing (or at least in my opinion!). The striped tights and overall silhouette has its roots in Charles Anastase's s/s 2009 show - an absolute favourite collection of mine. In that particular collection, I like how it's both very feminine in a traditional turn of the century manner but at the same there's all this transparency and sheer under skirts and suspenders - it's confusing. While I've not taken the hold-ups and suspenders on board, I did want to channel some of that confusion. My friend said my tights were 'zany'. I was delighted!

The time has almost come!
The biannual Vogue Bamini Fashion Show is this Sunday October 2nd @ 12:00 pm at the Javits Center in NYC opening the ENK Children's Club Show.

When our Editor in Chief, Giuliana Parabiago announced the Butterfly inspired theme of our Fashion Show, it wasn't difficult for the Vogue Bambini team to start our crafts at the Conde Nast Intl offices...we just adore every small detail when producing our Show event !

Skirt - River Island, Top - UO, Jacket - Next, Scarf - gift.

I wore this outfit out on Sunday night, and due to a wardrobe malfunction wore it pretty much again the following day, just changing the top to a very similar one.

I think this sort of encapsulates the desire I had to transform the full-length skirt into something I could wear all the time, not just at night time events (see here). I like the idea of clothes being suitable for both day and night which can be manipulated quite easily to suit any social situation. Currently, I am bored of the notion of an entirely separate night - wardrobe, and am harbouring a fondness for a more subtly - toned wardrobe with simple pieces that can be styled up or down.

Jeffrey Campbell kitteh-print booties.

I'd happily be a mad cat lady if it meant wearing these.
