Down With The Kids

Come September 2nd Zara should have officially jumped on the online bandwagon, and about time too, right? It was about two years ago that Zara started rising up on my top highstreet store list, but when I visited their website I was really disappointed. It was really inaccessible, you couldn't view a very big range of clothes, it was awkward and just seemed really inadequate for such a big brand. I've never understood why 'in this day and age' big highstreet stores haven't started selling online. To my simple mind I don't see how on Earth they can compete, and I don't know what stops them from retailing on the web (yes, H&M I'm talking to you). In fact, H&M is another store that has a really frustratingly disappointing website. However, they too should be all ready to go live come autumn. I can't wait to be able to buy from both these stores from the comfort of my sofa, especially when I'm back in Devon for the summer. If only Gap had been available online back when those suede Pierre Hardy boots came out, I would have been able to burn those Uggs once and for all.

The new campaigns for Zara have just come out, and I'm really excited for that very Burberry inspired shirt. I'm all for these shirts, blouses and high neck lines next season. I really need to compile my a/w wish list...

Update: Just remembered this post I wrote back in October 2009. It seems like an age ago that I wrote it, and we're still waiting for the online stores. Fingers and toes crossed the wait doesn't go on much longer!

Gap + Pierre + Online = Finally!

So the time has finally come that GAP and H&M have realised that the internet exists in the UK as well as the US, and that we do love to shop online also, on those days when we really can't be bothered to trek around the shops. I'm very happy, as ASOS (the only online retailer for GAP in the UK), has a very limited selection of their clothes and I'm on the hunt for the Pierre Hardy boots. It won't be until 2010 that GAP finally make it onto the web, but I think H&M are aiming to be faster on the uptake. Until then, (and also until I can afford to spend £98/£108 on day boots), I'm lusting at these pictures of the Pierre Hardy sheepskin boots. Love the styling also of all the outfits as well!

Trussardi 1911

How comfortable do the jumpsuits look here?  So easy to through-on-and-go, perfect for any and every day! It's easy to see how you could mix and match every piece in the collection, and I really liked the fringing detail on the jacket and jumpsuit. I'm definitly on the look out for some great slouchy trousers, to tuck into my next buy of Pierre Hardy boots. There's also a great patchwork denim dress in this collection that's definitly worth a second..third..fourth look. Everything looks sophisticated yet very cool; sexy in an effortless, messy way.  Surely that's the best kind?
