Alexa Chung for Madewell

Well Alexa Chung for Madewell launches in the States this September. To keep you going until then here are some doodles by the lady herself, said to be featured on T Shirts for the collection.

Cute non? Thank god for shipping.

I really want these nails right now.

 

 Also - VOTE FOR ME!

Ohh la Sarenza

Recently I was asked by Sarenza (THE parisian shoe shop) to participate in a competition between myself and 25 other bloggers.

The competition was to make their one pair of their shoes from their continental fashion findings range look chic as can be (as if thats hard??!).  So I chose a model of shoes (Dolly moheda sandals) and got to work with them on my Balcony. The shoes I must say looked suitably chic, and are rediculously comfortable!

Being me I couldn't decide on one outfit combination so I instead went for 3 different options. I found these shoes worked particularly well with socks - hence the combination.

NUMBER 1 

NUMBER 2

NUMBER 3

I think I'm partial to outfit number one - I may even sport it to work tomorrow...

UPDATE: The competition is up, please vote for my outfit here - http://blog.sarenza.co.uk/2010/07/reflection-of-alice/

Finally I saw Bob Dylan yesterday - HUMBLED

American Pie

This weekend is going to be a scorcher (so they say). Which is great news for me as I'm seeing Bob Dylan (Yes really BOB DYLAN) and Laura Marling, Ray Davies etc at Hop on the Farm festival. Considering I'll be drinking and dancing from sunrise to sunset I think its fair to say I'll need a rest and recoup day on Sunday.

So when I heard about the Whiteleys American Dream event, I was more than excited. Wild Fox (whom I LOVE) are heading an event at Whiteleys, which combines their sample sale with American independence day, meaning you can also dine out on a three course American themed dinner in Le Cafe Anglais for £26.00. Amazing.

Also the Euphorium bakery is getting in on the act and selling American Whoopie pies, plus all star lanes are running a bowling/dining deal.

The fun starts this Sunday, I'll be there in a form of Gaga- esque American stars and stripes all the way.

Spring Clean

Once every now and again a girl cleans out her wardrobe and finds a forgotten piece banished to the dark side of her cupboard.

This exact instance occured this weekend. Yesterday when I was having my all important seasonal wardrobe shake up I found this dress. I remembered loving it and wearing it all the time back in the day, and it seems second time round, not much has changed.
