Oh Charles!

I may have mentioned before that I dislike writing too much fashion week commentary on the blog, because my ramblings doesn’t really extend beyond the predicable 'blue is a nice colour’ and ‘I love straw hats.’ Nevertheless the Spring collections this time round are looking to be v.exciting, and I can't help but browse style.com for the all to important ‘updates’. (slightly embarrassing as I’m no fashion journalist…)

Apart from Marc, Charles Anastase is another designer that makes me foam at the mouth (in happy way, ofcourse). Sheer, puffiness, whimsy, stockings, layers, girliness, straw hats (have I mentioned that I love them?) and Valentine FC are all words and adjectives that comes into mind, the last two being particularly pleasing.

And actual posts on Taiwan will be coming too (just missed the Typhoon), I’m determined to do a food post this time, as the amount of yums yums on available made me glad that elasticated pants are invented.
