Seasonal Wishlist

(Originally written Aug 2011)

a.p.c
I'm possibly just a little bit a.p.c addled at the moment, but for some reason, their clothes are the only items that speak to me, appeal to me, or feel covetous to me right now, particularly in relation to the coming season, which feels as though it has already descended upon us here. It may have something to do with the clean lines, the lack of superfluous details, the lovely autumnal colours. I am especially drawn to navy, black and the deep, mulberry red tones. I would wear the above skirt with a small patterned check shirt, underneath a black marino jumper/sweater, perhaps, paired with dark gray tights and patent ballet flats. This is also the very wallet/purse that I have been searching for, one that will finally accommodate both loose cash and cards. But I cannot have it all, alas, thanks to the damned tv licence having arrived and the usual quarterly outgoings.
I am extremely happy with my suede ankle boots though, which arrived around the time of my last post. They are so supremely comfortable to walk in (for miles, I like to imagine!), and work so well with most of my outfits. I haven't had the time to rustle up any new photo's this week, but hope to add some soon. It rains endlessly now, and I have to admit that I quite like it. The nights are seeming to draw in, and there's definitely something of a change in the air. I am still planning to return to college, and to perhaps squeeze a language course into the mix. College would take up quite a lot of my free time, so I would most likely have to cut down my creative workload to some extent - which is oddly fine by me, because recently I feel more inclined to follow new paths, to study more, and to dedicate my free time to something really different. I will still maintain my online business (the art&ghosts shop), but shall probably only create new pieces very sporadically, or for private commissions only.
Also wondering about the official a.p.c website - there doesn't appear to be an English language version anymore since the new, updated  web redesign arrived. I would love to know if they are still shipping to other countries within the EU, so if you have any info, please do share.
Oh! And my Toast tweed jacket arrived, too, and I am delighted to report that it fits perfectly :}
I wanted to discuss books, for so many have lit up my soul recently, but I will have to reserve this for another post, because I am falling asleep at the moment!
More soon xxx
