KNITMANIA

Im quite attracted to any chunky knitted pieces at the moment, especially oversized cardigans and shawls for the winter months. The strongest looks for me are the patterned fairilse or aztec designs which are quite 70's in style, so im going to hunt a vintage/second hand one down soon..one i already have  a cardigan in greys and blues i love from a market in Amsterdam, but i want a brighter one i think.

Im also thinking about taking up knitting  for a winter hobby, love the idea of sitting in a pub with a gin and tonic, lots of mates and a knitting set...is that sad? anyways, i dont care, because Wool and the gang have some really nice patterns for first time knitters, and not a bad price..have a look, i really like the idea that it could come out a bit wonky and personal.....!

WHAT I WORE TODAY

I love the UK Vogue website, i literally go on it everyday without even thinking, and whilst there are many articles on there to read that are fascinating if you love fashion, lets face it, the only thing i really love to do is look at pictures of some mazing threads.

The new feature of 'What i wore today' features celebrities and a snap shot of their month in outfits, and is seriously addictive, here are my favourite picks from the last few months from Alexa Chung, Olivia palermo, Daisy Lowe, Julia Restoin Roitfield and Rose Huntington whitely.
