Monday Musings

The sun is finally shining & I have a sneaky little suspicion that Spring is on its way.
Winter has just taken too long this year, I'm aching for long Summer days and wild hot nights with only the coldest champagne.
I'm celebrating this little glimpse of what's to come with a new pair of trousers.
What? How do you celebrate?



These acid greeny-turqoisey little bad boys are from Pieces at ASOS.
I've never seen this colour before, and at £16 they're deliciously guilt free.
Buy them here.
Denim shirt is one of my staples from Topshop. (This one UK, this one USA)
And the moccasins are from New Look, which surprisingly has a pretty awesome shoe selection.
See? I don't always wear Loubies!

So, I stumbled across a great blog last night.
Graphic designer Vahram Muratyan highlights the difference between two of the worlds' most fashionable cities, Paris & New York.











His new hardcover book features 100 of his witty illustrations.
It's £8.50 ($11) on Amazon & would make a chic addition to any coffee table... or table à café.
Brits click here, Americans click here & everyone visit his blog here.


The framed prints are pretty sexy too...

  1. Love those turquoise jeans! Do they come up long? I am practically a giant and always struggle :-( I have to admit that I proudly display several pairs of NL shoes amongst some Loubies and KGs. SO reasonable and great quality. Rose, you always give the best guest ideas. Just ordered the Vahram Muratyan book for a friend, they'll LOVE it. Lx

    1. Hey Lauren!
      I'm 5ft8 and I have the same problem with trousers as I have very long legs.
      These are actually perfect!
      ASOS list them as 'leggings' but they're really a thin denim with pockets at the back... so more like jeans.
      I'm sure your friend will love the book! I'm so excited for mine to arrive!

  2. I love those prints they make me laugh--I would love to have one on my wall.

    And I love coloured jeans--can't wait to get out my coral ones. How does the sizing come up as I really need a pair of these in my wardrobe.

  12. What's wrong with cheap shoes? As long as they look good I don't care what brand they are.
    Very nice denims, but seeing as my leg length is usually 36/38, I'm afraid they'll turn out too short for me. :(
    I love these pics, I already read about them in a magasine a while back, you made a great selection!

    I've actually never shopped at Topshop or ASOS.
    Tend to stick to Sloane Street, but those jeans & that shirt is just divinnneeee.
    Braving the websites now, wish me luck!!!

    (Ps. not the shoes, sorry but I'll just stick to Chanel ballets. Too far for me!)

    Your legs should be a bit longer Rose!
    PS Angora, wow. I can't believe you exist.

  18. I think I am going to have to get some of those trousers and be a massive copycat and wear them with a denim shirt, you look gorgeous! Though as they're the perfect length for your leggy legs they might be a bit long for my short stumpy ones! :)

  27. I bought myself a pair of jeans incredibly similar to yours in Zara last summer. I fell in love with them. They're perfect and go with everything. Perfect for spring. Mine split on my inner thigh however when I sat down and havent found any that quite match up to them. I think ASOS may be my saving grace. Thanks for the heads up lovely.
