Prose

Eek! I won't reveal the path that led me to discovering Prose, a German label from designer Miriam Lehle, as I will be elaborating on that most likely tomorrow. All that matters is that you see what is quite possibly one of my favorite collections that I've ever seen, as I love the overall aesthetic of this group as a whole. I somehow haven't happened upon Miriam before, even though she has quite the CV, including presenting at London Fashion Week's On/Off showcase and selling some of her pieces at Topshop. Anyway, I do know that I want this kaftan, available here. Kaftans are wonderful things, aren't they?

Oh, and before it's too late (i.e. today is the last day), here's a sale code to use at the Mandula online shop for 20% off: mandula. Because it's a holiday in Canada, don't you know.

Prose

I finally have an afternoon to myself to recoup from a stressful week. Yesterday at work I had a brilliant(-ish) idea for a short story, so methinks I shall go to Starbucks and do a little writing. I prefer to write drafts on paper, as I'm one of those people who crosses stuff out, writes in the margins, and has to have arrows going all over the page so I remember what goes where. I don't want to be wasteful, so I imagine I'll have enough 'raw material' to re-create a (aptly named) Prose A/W 09/10 'Crumpled Paper' dress after my writing session. Perhaps I'd be more successful in my writing if I wear my outfit that I have planned for tonight's fancy concert (ArtLab Star Trek Princess Dress and Bib No. 2 Noir, Vivienne Westwood pants and coat, and Toms Vegan Wrap boots). Sigh.

Thanks to Pour Porter for pointing me towards this lovely German label! I also love these pieces from the same collection. How big would the knitting needles have to be for that last piece?
