COS CRUSH

I have a new love in my life in the form of Swedish brand COS. I've always admired their clothes but since I started work there I've fallen hard for the timeless, modern, tactile, values the brand embodies. So lately I've been able to experiment with clean, Swedish silhouettes at work while staying true to my vintage roots in my downtime, best of both worlds!

COTTON LOVE

Ever since my sister introduced me to Cotton Love a long time ago I've been captivated by their vintage pieces. In their own words they're all about 'a pure approach to form and function' while staying true to 'preferred aesthetic, quality and design values'. Every piece fits the brief perfectly to ensure a considered and timeless product. Whats not to love.

obsessions

Lately I've been completely obsessed with two pieces or 'playsuits' [if American!] A flash of midriff is always a winner and I guess I've started thinking about what I'm going to wear to Beacons Festival, even though I have to wait until August for my fill of festival frolics. I was scanning the Topshop Tumblr for some inspiration and came across this patchwork beauty...

I also had a little look on Etsy to see if I could find anything similar and I found a great shop on there called Qs Daydream. They hand make THE cutest little vintage inspired two piece playsuits. LOVE.
