Boat shoes and Chelsea boots. There's something slightly refined about Chelsea boots. They're conventionally ugly as fuck and fit in with the whole wearing-work-boots-and-passing-it-off-as-fashionable trend, but they're different somehow. Like the long lost cousin of Docs who drinks earl grey tea with their pinky sticking out and smells overwhelmingly like musk, BUT doesn't mind eating food off the floor providing it's within 5 seconds of contact.
And boat shoes. A male I know wears his allll the time, and they look good on him, but I never really considered the women's version until I decided to slip my feet into his boaties. And even though it made me look like Ronald McDonald because his feet are, like, size 50000, I really liked how they looked. Also, it further establishes my cred as a (internet) pirate. Although I guess sailors wear boat shoes more than pirates do...whatever, shut up.

H&M Garden Collection Kimono Dress. It's like a fruit salad. On my body. What more could you ask for out of a summer dress.


I couldn't find a pic, but I saw a skirt at Incu made out of this fabric, in white, with the black trimming. And it was INCREDIBLE. If I owned this, it'd be one of the only pieces of clothing I would have that would not inspire dirty looks if I wore it to church. I wanted to physically sew the waistband of the skirt into my skin and use it as an excuse to never take it off. But, oh, wait, it was $225. And I'm broke as a joke.
P.S. For those who wanted to know where the wedges in my last post were from: Cooperative Suede Quarterstrap Wedge from UO.

Love the wants, esp the ASOS boots - I'm thinking about them or the Jeffrey Campbell ones!! I think you should def get them!
amazing wishlist! :) i adore guys in boat shoes haha. i've never tried it on myself but i guess it would kinda be like wearing women's sneakers? -- edgily cool, with that offbeat attitude. & yes that last dress is heaven <3
sighh i'm doing a major wishlist right now too. especially since christmas is (sorta) right around the corner. the only difference is i'm lusting for winter clothing since i live in north america. but i live in socal and its 90 degrees, summer clothes could work too.
plus, you should check out the sperry topsiders boat shoes. those are too cute and a tad bit more afordable.
Get those boots. DO EET, DO EET.
And that dress is rather lovely too - looks quite appropriate for ninja adventures.

Love the chelsea boots! And those novelty pads made me laugh to myself x
what a great wishlist! I think after all this time you deserve every piece Jess, those novelty pads are grand! I would love to take those and make my own survey out of them ahaha.
So happy you're back!
I'm trying to convince myself to get ugly shoes too...
Dunno about those boots (the black ones remind me of my dad's socks, for some reason), but the boat shoes are cute as helllll.
And I lol-ed at those Knock Knock Novelty Pads, esp. the 'THINGS YOU DO THAT REALLY PISS ME OFF, BUT IT'S CUTE one. Perfect gift for the boyfriend : )
Hiya Jess,
Sorry a bit irrelevant but i love those wedges from UO- could you please tell me how they are comfort level wise?
Thanks, (love your blog) :).
Great list,
I think it's better when I'm not gonna writ down my wishlist, it would take the whole page at least, I'm afraid ^^
But you've got some great stuff!
&Still happy you're back :)
♥
I simply love "Knock Knock Novelty Pads."
Thanks for sharing :)
I LOVE Chelsea boots. I just bought another pair earlier. I never wear heels and they are my alternitve. I feel invincible when I wear boots. Much better than tottering around on stilts.
Ahaha I need a vodoo doll for some people in my life right now!
And that Antipodium dress is absolutely amazing.
I love religious inconography and fashion. It's such a contradiction that it works.
high five you won.
there are heaps of sick pads and stuff like this in Typo stores which are invading aus. fully want them.
"Things you do that really piss me off" - haha, I like this! :)
Amazing Blog! ( but I have have to say that I liked the other layout more than this one. It was so colourful :> ...)
I wish I could have your hair.
There is too much on my wish list to even tell you! I'm loving both those styles of shoe at the moment, too.
Really like your blog - just stumbled upon it and am going to follow you now!
▲ WOLF WHISTLE ▲
I have a weird love for boat shoes as well! They're so oddly chic, especially on the right girl, ya dig?
LOVE your blog, been following you for a while (even before I started my own blog, NOT STALKERISH AT ALL I PROMISE!)
Cute layout, it's a lot more modern. I do miss the banner of craziness and randomness though.
Your hair is amazing. AHHH lurveeee.

Louder Than Silence
I so agree about the Chelsea boots! I have been wanting a pair, but alas, I am broke too.
I guess it's the time of year to be money-less? ;)
Haha,I love those novelty notepads.. heck I'll probably like novetly anything.
And that dress fabric looks amazing. Would be an awesome skirt. Sucks about the price tag =\
On my wishlist? Mulberry Bayswater and Chanel 2.55...

Hi! my name is Suzanne and i'm currently studying Fashion&branding in Amsterdam. You might be interested in a challenge that I'm starting tomorrow:
http://freefashionchallenge.com
It's a project where around 20 people from all around the globe who are directly linked with fashion, stop buying clothing & accessories (so also no underwear & socks) for a year!! You can follow our ups and downs as we have different assignments throughout the year as well,
well I hope you find it interesting! For more info check the website
Thanks!
FAR OUT! It was just the other day where I walked into Incu or something and they had Antimpodium and I fell in love with their button-up shirt which was black and had crosses on them. They were gorgeousssss, totally frothworthy
the cross dress is too cute!

My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I am always trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I would ask.
