Stripes, Spots and Patterns

I love stripes.

Some people like spots.

Others like patterns or all black or block colours.

What do you love?

What have you got planned for the weekend? I am catching up with the Bookclub girls and can't wait to see them. We are watching movies of some of the books we have read over the years.

Imaginary Cyber Shopping

This Cat(h) loves to cyber shop

I don't know about you, but I like to shop. Especially 'imaginary' cyber shopping. Its so much fun. I trawl through the online shops and put things into my shopping cart... I imagine all of the nice things I could buy and pick out items that would go well with my existing wardrobe plus those that don't! And then... I close the browser down and walk away. Cyber shopping satisfies a little bit of my shopping hunger. And sometimes it gets me thinking about a certain item, so much so that I might eventually buy it.

Do you like to do imaginary cyber shopping on the internets? Or am I just a crazy shopaholic?

In search of the perfect ankle boot

I know its ridiculous to be thinking about my Autumn/Winter wardrobe already, but the stores are slowly starting to release their A/W ranges and I do like to be organised!

I've started hunting for the perfect ankle boot. Not flat, but not too high. Preferably black. No ugly buckles or straps. And a bit of a 'v' or dip at the front so it doesn't make my already chunky ankles look even more chunky...

I love these from Seed Heritage. They are almost perfect... but they don't come in black. Do you think they would look ridiculous with black tights in winter???

Have you started thinking about your A/W wardrobe yet?

Polka Face

Have you seen the new season range in at Dotti? Its totes cute (to speak in my young people language is appropriate given we are talking about Dotti). Its called 'Polka Face' and is very Alexa Chung-y (you can shop the look here) - lots of peter pan collars, mod type styling, shift dresses, bobble jumpers, cute vintage prints like polka dots, birds and bowties, etc. Love!

Here are a couple of my fave pieces.

Matilda Spot Shift Dress $69.95

Bobble Vintage Jumper $49.95
