Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo, Acne knit, Acne Pistol Boots

Stuck in front of a computer display with writers block, I decided to re evaluate my current wish list which went a little something like this. I'm still stuck in winter mode even though designers and publications are looking towards the warmer months. See I'm heading to Japan for two weeks in February and it's going to be freezing so I want to be prepared a) for the weather and b) for the photos. Call me superficial, but I do not want to be stuck in a daggy winter coat, have photos taken of me wearing these said daggy clothes and then posted up on Facebook and immortalised in an iPhoto photobook. I would like to travel in style! It's partly because I want to post some personal style pics up here and you can never avoid photos on holiday, but I'm just too lazy to take them on a regular basis.

I have really bad self control. I tell myself I should buy all these winter woolies now so I'll be prepared for the cold. But the logical (and fun) way would be just to save up all my money and then spend it overseas. But what happens if I don't find anything I like? Complete lie I know. And as for the Hillier, the shape makes it the perfect hang on the crook of your elbow bag. Plus seeing a couple of fashion magazine girls has made me want it even more. Possible birthday present to self?

I'll leave you with some ear candy. I'm obsessed with this song (although this style of music isn't really my thing) this is just a whole lot of fun - especially to rap to and dance around in your room in, trust me.

Apologies for the super self centred post. Regular blogging will ensue.

Elle Fanning for Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011. Shot by Juergen Teller. Elle Fanning is probably the most mature thirteen year old around. Which I know bothers a lot of people, considering she's modelling clothes that are meant for mature women. They say she looks like she's raided her mother's closet, she looks uncomfortable and out of place. Call it what you will but I think she looks stunning - fresh-faced, windswept and that innocence only someone her age could have. Certainly more confidence than Hailee Steinfeld in her Miu Miu campaign. I suppose I'm looking at it aesthetically and I'd say it works for me. Also because I have great admiration for someone who can solidify her position as a style icon well before the age of sixteen. Perhaps from a marketing perspective, it would be all wrong. Doesn't really capture that target market all too well. And then there are some who see its Lolita-esque qualities... honestly people, just because a young girl pouts or stares directly at the camera, doesn't mean it has sexual connotations. It's called modelling!

The second I got this I made sure my boyfriend whipped out his camera to take some shots of my new Marc by Marc Jacobs MacBook case which I am in love with. It's super padded on the outside and inside, so it not only does the job of protecting my precious MBP (which you can see has a dent on the top case because one of those giant wooden Typo letters fell on it) but it looks great too. I'm seriously considering using a bag to protect my case because I don't want to damage when it's amongst all my other stuff. 

I am chuffed with my purchase, I still can't believe it's almost the same price as the Incase ones. And for a designer tech accessory it stands pretty well against the others (there are Michael Kors iPad and iPhone cases for $150!). Did I mention the delivery? I ordered it on Friday night and ShopBop had it to me by midday. Love express international postage especially when it only costs you $10 (or free if you buy over $100). 

Oh and in the last photo there's a sneak peak of my new beloved T by Alexander Wang pullover, the latest addition to my knit collection, that I bought from I Don't Like Mondays. I've been a repeat offender many times this week. Post-exams I'll hopefully get another outfit post going. Anyway back to studying...

Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha Classic Q Bag

Apologies for the lack of posts this week, it's the last two weeks of uni and because I don't have exams everything's been crammed into the last week of semester. Just a short post to tell you what I'm currently lusting over (my list seems to change every few days because I don't have the money to possibly afford everything). My cheap eBay MacBook Pro case is stretching so I'm ready for a new one and I thought if I was going to fork out the $69 to get a black Incase one from work, I may as well pay a little extra and get this quirky Marc by Marc Jacobs case instead.

Speaking of work, the girls at work are starting a new trend (we shop at the same places so it's hard for us to not buy the same thing in different colours) but one that I am more than happy to partake in. I've always wanted a Marc Jacobs bag (a tres good investment if I do say so myself), and the Natasha bag is a relatively cheap introduction into the world of designer handbags. I love this light chambray blue but I have no idea how it's going to work into my wardrobe. I'd prefer to steer clear of the staple black/ brown bags and try something different for a change.
