The Corner Shop x Claire Inc.

IMG 9836

Last Thursday evening was spent swanning (the only appropriate verb) around The Corner Shop's Strand Arcade store, happily stroking the wonderful textiles that made up Claire Inc.'s wonderfully curated collection of vintage pieces from a B for Betsey to a Y for YSL. After some convincing from dear Emily, I did end up trying on the most stunning Karl Lagerfeld coat/jacket/hybrid-or-other and am very much in love. I've given it almost a week. If it's still there when I return, it was definitely meant to be.

Don't you love my rationale?

The textures and colours were such a divine experience (and magical to shoot!) - I'm definitely going to have to recommend that you pop in. Even it is for just a touchy-feel.

*love*

That's pretty much how I operate - on a time basis. It prevents impulse buys, but that doesn't mean it prevents me from buying things hideously outside my price range ;)
Claire Inc has been on my to-do list for a while, looks beautiful! That Chanel blazer is to die for, you must own it.
