Christopher Kane Leather Trousers

I have to admit that until I bought these I had never owned a pair of leather trousers. Shocking. As a leather trouser virgin I am still getting used to them. You can't move around them like a pair of lycra stretch Topshop jeans, so movement is a tad restricted as I wear them in (how long will they take to wear in? Does anyone know?). Another issue is drying your hands...as an impatient type I often tire of hand dryers and resort to a quick wipe on the arse of my jeans (attractive, I know), but with leather you just can't do that. On the plus side, these are baby soft, have gorgeous embroidery and fit well. Just don't ask me to sit down in them yet.

Excuse me - I'm eating in this picture, now I know why you never see a supermodel scoffing...it looks like I've got mumps or laughing with a mouthful or beer. So much for multitasking.

Christopher Kane Resort 2011

Resort. Cruise. Does it matter? I won't be fleeing for the Winter sun, but I will be avoiding the shops as these are about to hit.

Hair Up. Hair Down.

I was made to take my hair down by someone at work. She gave me a talking to and then juj-ed it up and I actually really like it. It shows how crap I am with my hair that I can't even do this much to it. I doubt I'll be able to re-create this, but I'll give it a bash. Somehow my hands turn enemy when they get near my hair.

Christopher Kane Cashmere Pt2

Ordinarily I would never be able to afford a piece like this, so it's thanks to J that I've got my greedy little mitts on a Christopher Kane A/W 10 cashmere embroidered cardigan. The embroidery itself is divine, but the detail that is killing me are the buttons that fasten not only up the middle but along the underside of the arms and sides, which means you can wear the cardie loose like a cape. Amazing for over heated offices and I'm thinking absolutely indispensable come Summer when you need a little something over your shoulders to keep the cold off. 

I would have loved to have bought an embroidered leather dress but I managed to keep my head (just about) and think about the chances of me really wearing it. Are they stunning? Yes. Are they made for women with boobs? No? Would it be a battle to fit into? Yes. And do I really have anywhere to go in one? Sadly no.

Christopher Kane Cashmere

I am too excited by my Christopher Kane purchases. I haven't had time to style them - just throw them on with what I was wearing last night, after returning home giddy with joy. Below is how it was styled on the catwalk, so please excuse the lack of outfitness. My boobs fill out this sweater more than the model. Oh well, what was I expecting?
