miu miu more

good morning! it's possibly been the longest gap (ever) between any form of post/communication/whatnot. i promise to you dear internet connection, all is not lost! witless banter returns! prepare to, er, grit your teeth and run...

on a slightly less self-deprecating note, time for some good old fashioned label appreciation. miu miu. their spring collection (yes i know i'm behind the times - i forgot this existed alright) is gorgeous with bells and tassels and capital letters and oh my god it's lovely. not only is it miu miu - the only designer label i actually own and is also the brainchild of the mother of all things wonderous miuccia prada (i love prada unbelievably so) - anyway, not only is it miu miu but it's also BLOODY AWESOME

i'm sure most of us have seen these lovely creations before, but they need some serious loving. the patterns? the colours? the lovely little tea dress tailoring? oh my god i've wet myself with pure love already! and then the JEWELS, good lord this collection is mindblowing. my favourite is the red and white swallow-patterned cut out dress. it's a bit like what i'd imagine would happen if a prostitute replaced alice in wonderland. i've always had a soft spot for collars too, and this does not disappoint. were my fancy a soft spot and this collection chocolate, i don't think i'd have any teeth left. in fact screw my anatomy i want that dress!

CUT OUT SWALLOW DRESS, i think i'd quite happily sacrifice a bodily part for you.
