Bank Holiday Weekend/Jet Lagged Filler

>> I've just landed into Sydney so I haven't done some sort of killer teleportation move where I can transport myself to balcony and back in a flash.  It would have been a smooth-as-you-like flight had I not stupidly lost my glasses on the flight to Hong Kong for the transfer.  Now I'm slightly poo-ing myself that my eyes will burn and burst with blood vessel goop everywhere because I've overworn my contact lenses.  That's err‚Ķ entirely medically possible right?

Still, I plod on with my eyes burning up to bring a bit of matchy matchyness, which started off with a pair of Toga printed trousers that were yielded in the insanely good Feathers Easter Sale, a once-a-year affair where past season stock is hauled out for a megal sale and I get happy seeing prices thrice marked with a thick red marker.

The trousers then needed to be joined by an old House of Holland t-shirt and a vintage Rodier jacket and this Rodbjer open-top sun visor which i distinctly remember from the show, wondering whether they would actually go into production or not.  bStore in London saw the sense in a collapsible open-top visor, which is how I procured it.  The fun isn't just in the wearing.  It's the collapsing of it into a figure of eight that can yield at least two minutes of distraction.

The not-so matchy but wonderfully comfy open-toe boots with cowboy metal plates by Miista, a mid-priced new shoe label that handily has an e-store now…

When my glasses were still with me on the plane, I had some time to meander about with Photoshop paying homage to Toga's S/S 11 season of flocked leopard print, which I'm grateful that Feathers and LN-CC in London stock quite extensively…

  2. OMG Susie, over-wearing contacts is still possible just squirt plenty of lubricated eye drops!!!! I use my daily contacts as monthly even though they’re made from the same material.

  3. im not even a fan of leopard print but love the way Toga has used it Ps. Welcome to Sydney! Glad our weather’s brought out some sunshine for you 🙂

  4. Yes, about that contact lens thing, not to scare you or anything but if you have them on for too long your eyes will burn medium rare and then you won’t even need colour contacts.
    You need to show me that visor thing, kinda has that FBI badge flip effect, which is like, SO AWESOME.

  11. Hi from across the ditch in New Zealand.

  39. I am really trying to cultivate a non-jealous state of mind today but your beyond covet-able print trousers are not helping.
    p.s hope you sort the glasses situation out pronto – I have felt that pain and the redness stays for a LONG time!
