TopMoss

Today the 1 billionth collection for Kate Moss at Topshop was launched, OK it's actually her 12th collection but you know where I'm coming from.....

I do like Kate Moss and all but part of me begrudingly feels like her clothes are just an excuse to charge more money for what is an already ever price increasing high street store. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Topshop but I feel that every year the prices soar and more and more items cost £100 plus. I have a few items from the original Moss collection but I hasten to add that they were purchased in the sale EXCEPT for this amazing heart button cardigan that my Mother proceeded to wash and shrink :-( it is now so small that I am keeping it for my future babies....

How much input does she actually have into these clothes anyway? To be fair she probably knows more about designing than I or your other average clothes wearing individual but I'm convinced she isn't more than just a label! I suppose the clothes do sum up her style rather effortlessly but considering her outfits are always one the subdued side but granted put together well why on earth are they charging so darn much!

The emphasis behind this collection seems to be sexy summer which is all well and good. If I had to choose some pieces I like they would include this cutesy cape, sexy kimono and embellished dress as well as the silk PJs


Unless any of these ever go into a sale I shall be keeping my money for other purchases including this Halston Heritage look-a-like dress I've spotted on ASOS for a fraction of the price.

Today I tried to sum up summer in my outfit by donning my new lace top and floral culottes. I love the fabric of these shorts, they are so comfy and ideal for running around town in HOWEVER, the lack a certain essential when it comes to my clothing... pockets! I adore pockets and an outfit doesn't feel complete without them, whether they be in a jacket or bottoms, I don't mind as long as they are present!!

River Island culottes
Topshop lace top and frilly socks
New Look jacket
Office brouges
Primark pearl and bow necklace

I watched the SATC2 trailer (again) today and nearly had a heart attack I'm so excited x
