Isabel Marant VS bibico

Isabel Marant SS2011

Bibico AW2010

I have recently developed an obssession with this isabel marant knit which i could buy from a Brighton boutique for a pretty penny. However, bibico, my go-to label for fabulous fair trade knits has this pretty amazing alternative now on sale for 30 quid! a tenth of the price and 100% hand knitted.

check it out. buy it. email me for my address if you'd like to treat me. :)

Note: I love bibico, but their model shots rarely do their beautiful garments justice. I'm lucky enough to see them in the flesh before they go on sale and am telling you, everything they make is even more gorgeous in real life.

Happy Friday

Even though I'm in Trinidad and I'm not meant to be lifting a finger I had to re-post this image via Desire to Inspire.
Oh those chairs, and that table, and the artwork, and the mirror.

Here Comes the Sun...soon..I hope.

So...once the sun starts to set on the beautiful hot summer's day Em H. and I are imagining and we've had coffee in town wearing the classic People Tree striped top and comfy-chic (you heard it here first!) trousers...here is what I picture changing into for cocktails (Pina Colada of course) and dancing! 

Very early Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail' don't ya think?

It's time

It's time the divine Ms E (J) and I unfurled ourselves from our woeful winter slump and embraced the new year.

Can't wait until it's warm enough to slip into these easy organic Fairtrade (and Fair Trade) jersey separates from People Tree.

Happy belated new year!

We're back.

Fold Away Desk

I know this is inappropriately non-Christmassy but I am still looking for a desk!! Plus, it's not like you can't add last year's tinsel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA H.!!!

Happy Birthday Em H.! I won't be able to see you till Friday but I'm sending you virtual cakes until I can bring you real ones! You are going to have such an amazing year. xxLovexx Em J.

Knocked Up

Yeah, so the paint job leaves a LOT to be desired but the rest of this room fascinates me. Every time I look at this picture I clock just how makeshift everything is, literally thrown together from scraps, and yet I still love it. It works somehow and prob cost 5 bucks. Love.
