Wanting: Velvet

So, I already have a burgundy velvet top (it had an outing last night even - perfect for breezy summer nights) and some amazing black velvet skintight jeans, but what a really really want is a velvet jacket! Have only found one ever, and did not like the mandarin collar it has. Mary-Kate and Erin look so cosy, and their jackets have a real eccentric luxury. I think I may attempt to make one?

White Nights

 New Balmain treats at Net-A-Porter... I die. These are perfection.. 

Wool Satin Tuxedo Jacket

Embroidered Leather Waistcoat

Studded Leather Jacket

Creamy

I still sooo want a cream/beige blazer! And still cant find one (other than online)... It would be the perfect investment for summer - light, feminine and v much channeling The Great Gatsby. another small problem, my drink of choice is Pinot Noir (my white jeans and tees have had many a run in with red wine in their time). Will def keep searching though!

Wanting: Blanket Jacket

Wanting: Worker Boots

I am sooo wanting a pair of mid heigh, chunky mens worker boots right now... 

These Frye "Engineer" boots are so perfect.

 And these Frye Harness Boots..
These Kathryn Wilson pair called "Jimmy" from her Winter 08 collection are v fab too:

Wanting: Silky Shorts

Tres fab. Paired with a loose tank and a blazer a la Stella McCartney. Soft, sensual yet a bit boyish. They usual look v cute over black opaques (care of Fashion Toast.)

I've had quite a search in stores, to no avail unfortunately. So have purchased a pair online from American Apparel - the Satin Charmeuse Roller Shorts. Fingers crossed they will be okay!
