Oooh, the excitement.

Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon.

But how can you blame me, given this constitutes my favourite things (Navajo print, cloak AND massive hood!!).

And my shopping restriction was going so well up until a few days ago when yoox.com got the better of me (J Brand flares, American Retro floral print 3/4 frill skirt and Marni platform sandals, I'm looking at you!) with the ridiculous 80% off sale...

It is my birthday in a month so we can call the above birthday presents to myself.

I recommend checking out yoox as I think they still have the 80% off sale....such gorgeous stuff, so cheap...its hard to know when to stop clicking to "add to cart" ;)

OH THAT EDGE

Kimberly Taylor's Fall 2010 Look Book has got me giddy. The talented, young, gorgeous New York designer (seriously, this girl is stunning!) has perfected stylish staples with an edge. It's sophisticated, with a little bit of rock'n'roll attitude thrown in.

And that's perfect in my opinion. I'm particularly enamoured by the draping techniques on the beautiful dresses, the sheer silk tops and pants, the hoods (we all know how much I love hoods), and the luxurious fabrics she uses.

The piece de resistance from her current collection and available to buy on her site?

.THESE.

Obscenely covetable.

....also cue the drool for this beautiful black/nude romper, this beautiful classic tuxedo jacket with purple stripe, and these fab silk 'going out' shorts.

And until May 15, my blog readers get a 10% discount on all merch at KimberlyTaylor. Enter "AFRICANTEAPARTY" upon checkout to score 10% off all stock. Fab or what?!!!?

See you in line....
