22nd April 2012: Backlog
No way I can find the impetus to write up 6 weeks of outfits. Here are a few things I remembered to photograph. Most sincere brand crush so far this year has been on Edun - in the past two months I seem to have half-filled my closet with their stuff. It’s my ideal spring-summer clothing: silk, airy, slouchy, subtly tailored.

August and everything before
These won’t be dispatched until late summer, so I’m kinda hoping I forget about them: they will be the best surprise parcel ever.

2nd March 2012: Lapels
This outfit photo came out terrible, but I needed an excuse to talk about this amazing jacket. I had a bit of trauma securing it after I ordered it online and the wrong item came, almost gave up, almost stopped caring, finally received it and have worn it almost every day since.
