THE SOUND OF COS

This short by Dutch artists Lernert & Sander really got me thinking about the very act of wearing clothes in detail. The more tactile my clothes are the more affection I have for them, a snuggly cashmere jumper and textured wool coat are what dreams are made of.

WISH LIST

With today's glimpse of summer comes thoughts of dreamy outfit ensembles. The silk Margaret Howell pyjama's would be perfect holiday-daytime-attire, I imagine them worn with the Salt Water sandals - I've been thinking about them for a while now, I just need to bite the bullet and buy a pair. The COS leather clutch is just the thing I need for stuffing all my receipts and paperwork into and throwing in a tote bag.  I'm relatively new to the Korean brand Bread and butter - they have a good, neutral collection and some real inspirational styling.

NICE THINGS

some nice things - ribbed wool cardigan & leather portfolio from COS, Margaret Howell military shirt dress, Muji navy wrap and a Cabbages and Roses corduroy dress. 

just everything COS, please.

My current COS wishlist. I'll never, ever tire of my favourite brand, if I can just collect all these items my autumn wardrobe will be complete.

COS X SERPENTINE 2013

This summer COS have collaborated with the Serpentine gallery to bring a programme of Park Night events centred around Sou Fujimoto's 2013 Pavilion. I've yet to witness his amazing creation in the flesh but can't wait to visit later this month. Here Fujimoto discusses his inspirations for the structure.

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!

[wearing: COS shirt, COS skirt, Topshop wedges, thrifted bag]
