This is precisely why I shouldn’t be allowed to surf the internet unsupervised

COMMENTS: 11 Comments

As you may or may not know, I am a sucker for draped anything.

Cosy, draped, soft and cuddly? SIGN ME UP.

All Saints Clothing! Mostly in the U.K., but they have a store in NYC as far as I can tell.

I Googled reviews on them, and found that their sizes run kind of low, and their stuff looks much better on the website than in person. :\

The style reminds me of Rick Owens. Lots of asymmetry, draping, soft knits, comfy looks and hard rock details..

Anyhoo, the prices prohibit me from even thinking it’s a REAL possibility, but a girl sure likes to dream…

Layla Dress in Dirty Cherry — $305

Draping? A little belt action going on? A great colour? *drool*

dirtycherry

Temperance Cardigan – $175

I have another grey cardigan similar to this, it might be why I am so drawn to it…

Temperance

Afra Cardigan – $175

I hate the colour, but I like the assymetry and the huge pocket on the left.

Afra

Theia Cardigan – $195

Cuddly. Warm. Shawl necked.

Overpriced, really.

Theia

Eisen Leather Jacket – $400

If I could be guaranteed it would look just as good in person as it does online, and fit like a glove…

I would be tempted beyond all sound financial reason to hit the “Add to Cart” button.

Eisen

Love the zippers!

Eisen3

ADORE the buckles!

Eisen2

AHH! Zipper on the BACK of a sleeve?! :D

    This is precisely why I shouldn’t read your blog when I’m liking drape-y dresses. That dress is gorgeous, but I couldn’t find a content label. Does it have to be dry cleaned? Is it polyester and will result in static clinging around parts of me I wanted it to drape on?

    I did find this shop on Etsy.com that makes gorgeous bamboo fabric pieces that’s I’m craving (though not ready to jump in and order … no special occasions on the horizon … however I may have to order this top in black. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33156050).

    @Kat G Aww but you will read anyway right? :) That dress is cute but I have no idea how it’s supposed to be cleaned or not. Regardless, I would NEVER buy anything without trying it on first in person. Sometimes I think it looks great on the hanger or online and a hot mess on me.

    OH! Econica ROCKS. I love their stuff, I’ve been craving a sweater of theirs for a while. You should also check out these sellers:

    Ureshii, sandmaiden and maybe isadora clothing.

    FB, you are an enabler!!! Whenever I come to your site, I something really cute, albeit expensive, and then I go on a hunt for a cheaper version. I may have to be supervised when I’m on your site!
