ADORE ADORHADA

I was in Mexico last year and my friends introduced me to this Argentinian label Adorhada while I was there. I think I nearly bought the range…I love their use of block printing and definitely digging the bows they are pushing for summer:

AdorhadaAdorhadaAdorhadaAdorhadaMy dream has always been to own a store for about as long as I can remember, and funds/site permitting reid.damnit will be opening some physical doors next summer. Adorhada will be at the top of my wish list, in the mean time they sell online

TOPSHOP WHAT WHAT

After sailing over the Atlantic in a ship that seemed to take forever Topshop opened their doors and gave all the Fashionistas fainting fits. I found myself in the neighbourhood wandering to find the proposed Derek Lam store and thought I’d take a look to see what everyone is talking about. I have to say, it reminds me a lot of Forever 21/H&M. With the exception of two things – Preen! and the phenomenal shoe collection. Here are a few that caught my eye:
