A Kate Moss Inspired Wishlist

I'm into following all the fashion blogs and magazines, so it's been pretty difficult to miss the launch of Kate Moss' return to Topshop yesterday evening. I would have loved to go along but a) I can't actually stand Oxford street post 2pm on a Saturday so this would have been a nightmare and b) I live the wrong side of the road to deal with the stupid tube strike.
 

She did a few collections a few years ago which were brilliant, so I was quite excited to see what else Mossy and the Topshop boys were coming up with. Points to Sienna though for looking the best. I love that little ladies style! (...and I've not posted a picture, but look up what Chloe Green wore - points for the worst.)

As always though (and recently more so than ever) Topshop seems to be pricing itself out of my wardrobe. I've found it's distancing itself a little bit from it's highstreet neighbours like River Island, Zara and even it's sister store Miss Selfridge and becoming a bit too pricey for what it is.

So I thought for a little fun twist, I would pick out my 3 faves from Kate's Balearic/Tailored/Pjama inspired range and then I've chosen the cheapo alternatives my junior graphic designer salary will realistically allow. Best to be honest.

Item No. 1:

The Tuxedo Jacket.

These are quite fashionable at the moment and I actually really like the shimmer in this. I guess it's been a theme this year with Angelina Jolie already rocking her Tuxedo on the red carpet earlier on in 2014. Cat Deeley also attempted it a little less successfully. Also my black Zara standard blazer from last year has become almost shredded on the inside from over wearing it, so maybe it's time for a Tuxy twist.

ASOS, Miss Selfridge, New Look (not actually that Tuxy, but love a bit of leather detail!)

Item No. 2:

The White Dress.

I've been having a look at white summery dresses recently, so me and Mossy must be on the same wave length with this one. Although the zip down the middle doesn't look great on this one. It really reminds me of this twat:

So here's a few of my wishlist alternatives:

All Missguided (I love that one on the right!)

Finally Item 3:

A Cute Playsuit.

I mainly love this because it reminds me of my Urban Outfitters spotty black playsuit which sadly is no longer with us after one of those thin spaghetti style straps broke. The thing with playsuits is that they're a nightmare to pull off to use the toilet when you're out and about (i.e. drunk) and so thin straps just don't really cut it. Here's my wishlist of more drink friendly versions:

All 'Love' (the range mostly found in Topshop)

Sooo, apologies Moss but until funds get higher or good old Sir Phil cuts his prices a bit for us poorer fashion followers, i'll stick to the cheaper alternatives. I may go in to a Topshop in the next few days to try on and pretend for a few minutes anyway. Who's telling?

Over and out.
