Wish List Wednesday

Thanks to everyone for your kind tweets and comments on my last post about Mango. He is and will be missed.

It's hard to follow a post like that with one about fashion, but I actually started compiling this, my first installation of "Wish List Wednesday", on the weekend. But then, that was also before I headed to Liberty, one of my favourite department stores here in London, where today, I found that half the store was on sale and the other half was full of brilliant, colourful things that had arrived for spring!

Not surprisingly, my wish list changed. Here is the newest version.

1) Isabel Marant's latest hidden-heel sneaker, the Willow.
Upside: I liked the Bobby from last season (but needed some convincing), but LOVE this new colour.
Downside: Too bad everyone else has come out with fashion sneakers now, too.

2) Christopher Kane rainbow dress from Resort 2012.
Upside: how impossible would it be to NOT be in a good mood wearing this?
Downside: likely to be one of THE most-spotted (and only wearable once) dresses of fashion week.

3) YSL arty ring
CORRECTION: I bought this today (in purple)! Somehow, it managed to slip by the hawk eyes of dozens—hundreds, even!—of other lassies and I found it lying, all sad and dejected, in the bargain bin at Liberty. It's missing the tiniest stone but (a) it's hardly noticeable, (b) it was, like, 80% off, and (c) I can get a super-special jeweller to  find an exact replacement, or get them to put a similar-coloured bead in its place. Yay! Happy Wednesday!
