Dedale

Sometimes the true beauty of something is not revealed to you until it's waved in your face on a glossy page, paired with other gloriously beautiful items or on the back of a model screaming "BUY ME". Only then do you realise how desperately you need said item. This happens to me a lot. And it obviously works for the masses too, otherwise editorials and magazines wouldn't be as successful as they are.

If you're like me you spend your days working hard trawling through blogs, adding things to my numerous shopping carts that I dream of buying, inspecting 'spam' emails from endless companies and generally just admiring pretty things from behind a computer screen.

While most people delete said spam emails immediately, I go as far as trawling through my junk mail in case I missed any! I could argue that it's my duty to keep up to date, but realistically, it's just how I get my kicks. Incidentally, a 'spam' email is how I came across the Lanvin Dedale silver-tone crystal necklace. So now, I'm just conjuring a list in my head to convince the boy of why I need this particularly spectacular piece. I'm sure there are many...

Picnics in Parkas

Sometimes the most unsuspecting items end up in your floordrobe and end up becoming your most versatile, and most cherished possessions. Take this parka for example. This is yet another item I've stolen from Jay's wardrobe and claimed as my own, and it's never left my sights since. In fact, I've worn it so much so that its cost-per-wear is actually negative (considering the fact that I got it for free!). And stolen boyfriend's items generally always fit. Incidentally, it also makes the best picnic blanket for two, if you ever felt the need.

On that note, I've come to the conclusion that an important criteria in selecting a boyfriend is one where his clothes will fit you, should you ever decide to steal borrow them. It's like the gift that keeps giving... It probably also helps if he's willing to part with his hard-earned purchases (or doesn't notice when you've stolen them)!
