PARK & CUBE

30th May 2011

Links: Coat – Zara; Shoes, Watch & Bag - ASOS, Trousers – Uniqlo for Uniqlooks

That’s it, I’m relabelling these allergy pills to ‘Bank Holiday pill‘ or ‘the chill pill‘. Seeing how I was either K.O in any lodgeable corner or delirious when ‘awake’, they may come to use when I truly do need to BE INCONVENIENTLY SLEEPY THE ENTIRE DAY. I don’t think I realised just how heavy my head was till today, that and the number of corners one can sleep in in the flat (windowsill…). Worst thing is that the allergy pills did no deallergizing, or anti-histamining, or whatever the verb may be. Curse you, cheap pills! Anyway, thought I’d do something a little different with the outfit post/Uniqlooks. I’d put it in a jQuery slide but now I’m just entering my umpteenth sleep cycle of the day and I must oblige. Goodbyez.

I absolutely love this post, it’s so cute!

So true about needing a coat still. How depressing is that?!

OMG this is a perfecto guide book, maybe some retail brand should commission you to design a guide available for every purchase over £50.

Hope you have recovered from the drowsiness effect…..maybe try a nose spray next time?

so wonderfully simple but all the little details when you look closely make the overall effect fantastic!

I’ve never seen a ‘how to wear…’ executed in such a charming and creative way! You’re seriously just very, very awesome, haha. And oh gosh, poor you! I was once instructed to take Benadryl (another allergy med) by my doctor, and I literally felt like a puddle that day. I hope you can find some non-drowsy pills!

This is such an adorable post with such thoughtful graphics. It looks like it’s straight out of one of those cutesy Korean/Japanese/Chinese advertisements! Very sharp and adorable! Also, love the shoes–they’re like a femme version of the oxford and they’re definitely a playful twist on an old classic!

This is great, I’ve never thought about the way I create my looks. I asuume they just appear in my mind when I’m sleeping. :)) But, seriously- what you show is the best way to create a complete outfit in a second. And the way you look is amazing, simple, not too many details, but still very unique. I love it. :)

Perfect! What a lovely and beautiful post! Very delicate!

I am a little worried about your ankles though.

A friend of mine got frostburns on his ankles! FROSTBURNS!
It was -20 and snowy, though.

But I am just saying. There’s only like a 34 degree difference from your climate right now.

This is the dopest thing I’ve seen in a long time on a blog. I was actually so giddy with excited that I was shouting up and down and clapping my hands saying “I love this! This is so dope! I love this”, repeatedly. I’m glad no one was home though, or else they wouldn’t have gotten my excited. Oh joy. Nice post, again x

Freakin’ awesome! (And seriously, I always wonder how people come up with outfits… clearly it involves putting legs through pants and heads through neckholes, but you know what i mean!) I would love it if you did this every now and then, but this probably took a while?

On another note, I hope you feel better soon! As for allergy pills, I recommend loratidine (it’s generic Claritin), but it might go under another name in the UK.
