Summer is all right with me

No shopping for what seems like a month (at least on my expense that is) makes Jill (fashionfool) a very dull girl. It's true, I become quite despondent if I see not just one, but a number of items I can't have, not because I cannot reach for items that are nonsensically hung on high rails, but because of a pair of boyfriend jeans (my ironically favourite pair to shop in) with holes in its pockets. Anybody say 'sad for days?'...but being the strong person I am, and when I say strong, I mean the person who can abstain from something (70% of the time by choice) for a long period of time, I am all right. I just don't want to think about what will happen when I emerge from this broke status...I'll leave that to your imagination.

I often discuss all my ideas with my mom; mostly the 'safest' person to deposit them with. We also spoke about, actually predicted, fashion for the next year and a bit. It's always so interesting to hear when she dwells down memory lane what they used to call certain trends back then. Funny to know, actually, but also interesting. She told me about how my gran (a seamstress) would tie-dye their dresses, create all kinds of fashions out of customer off-cuts and so on and so on.

In this post I have also included my faves at Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 as well as my fave swimwear 2011/12.

Much love, and happy shopping!

LOUIS VUITTON

Last but not least, Kate Moss ended the show for LOUIS VUITTON with this feathery cut-out number:pure love.

There is something about crochet and high waist vintage boy-leg style swimwear that gets me. Wouldn't mind any of these numbers below - also the current swimwear trends around the globe seen at NOOKIE, ROOPA PEMMARAJ,KOOEY AND LISA MARIE
