Hmm, bare chests and bare legs. It's not a very seasonally appropriate moodboard is it? Looking through some photos from Summer 2010 earlier I found myself pining after the sunshine so I can wander with my legs out, let the sun warm my hair a nice strawberry blonde and sleep with warm air coming through the window. Very premature wishes indeed given we're two weeks into January but I'm assuming they are the sublimal reasons behind these spring geared pictures. Clearly haven't quite let go of the winter though; this picture from The Sartorialist has heightened my need for some nice thick marl socks to wear with my clogs which I shall dig out of my cupboard before I return back to Manchester this week.
Tonight I've listened to Low by David Bowie about 4 times continuously. He is probably my favourite musician but because of his huge back catalogue of work there are still so many albums for me to discover. I grew up on Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory, but I've seriously fallen in love with Low, too. Completely different from the former two but very much suited to my current mood. Produced by Brian Eno and with a very Tilda Swinton-esque front cover.

Ah, knitted pants!! Dreamed of them since D&G a/w 10 show. No idea what I'd wear them with mind, but now an affordable pair are out, I might just have to get creative.

Low was the first Bowie album that I listened to, when I was a kid, 'cause my mother has it on vinyl and he was one of her favorites artists, so I used to listen to it a lot ;) Now he has become one of my fave singers too, and Warszawa, Sound and Vision, or Subterraneans are one of my fave tracks from the album ;)
Love the McQueen pic and the one from the sartorialist :)
kisses!
I really love your moodboards!
