No, seriously, we do have to divide our Christmas time between NZ and England and we haven't been back to ole' Blighty for about four years. It can be exciting to spend Christmas in your winter woolies as Kiwi Christmas recollections all revolve around summer sun, BBQ's and playing cricket after lunch.
In preparation for our Anglo-experience, I decided to tackle our motley collection of winter clothes because even though we have lived in South East Asia for nine years, we still hold onto winter clothes 'just in case'. Yeah, just in case it gets cold JUST ABOVE THE EQUATOR!!!
I'm not going to elaborate on just how bad it was. Let's just say that if the fashion police were called in, we would get life imprisonment. So what does one do? Go shopping of course.
But it gets worse. Somehow, these also ended up in my shopping cart!! How did that happen??
At first, I had a little trouble adjusting to the whole platform revival thing but I'm actually coping surprisingly well now.
Major recon still needed on the winter clothing but here's some good news that brightened my day - Kate Moss has just been signed to design a fashion line for TopShop!
Kate Moss fashion line, Madonna tracksuits at H & M, a chance to wear my new boots - those dreary English skies suddenly look fabulous!

Love that last shoe -- gorgeous.
In the spirit of Madonna at H&M, did you know Vera Wang is designing for Kohl's? Not sure if they are international or just in the U.S. I just went nuts over Paul & Joe at Target. I love the low end design thing.
Thats nothing! Liz Mitchell is designing for Farmers...........
Ratty - welcome to my world! Cracked up at the Farmers thing........oh I miss my homeland. How the hell are ya?????
Jinna - went online to find Kohl's. Definitely only a US thing :-( I just bought two Paul & Joe tops online but missed out on the ultra-cool kimono dresses they had. Damn! Were you lucky enough to snab one for yourself??
Concerned! (possible that living in a small town is surpressing my penchant to own beautiful shoes)I was auctully happy with my last shoe purchase (beautiful blue crocs) until I found some fantastic red leather wedges - so damn comfy I got them in black as well! You have to go to Monsoon - we miss you too!
Ooh, didn't even see the kimono dress. I totally want one though, and I have since I saw Kara Janx's on Project Runway... they are so flattering.
England for Christmas sounds lovely. Weather be damned!
Last Sunday, I bought very nice winter shoes from Sierra Trading Post store by using coupons...
