show me forgiveness

i have a bit of a love/hate with stella mccartney. for me she's really hit and miss, and there are always those pieces where i'm all 'uuuugggh, what? why stella. whatwhy?' and then there are some of my very favourite things there too. being all insane and brilliant. i usually end up thinking that i don't much care for her line. but then i go back, and i remember that, actually, i do. lots. in places. most of the time. sometimes. i am soooo good at decisiveness.

the moral is that there is some pretty stellar (stella!) stuff in this here prefall. like the over-sized-pattern sweater which is just teetering on being jester-y. and the over-seized collar too. and sleeve-holes, for that matter. and all of the boots, but especially the brown ones. and oh-my-GOODNESS that silver on gold tuxedo suit. aaaaaaaaahhhh. oohhhhhhh. ugh. oooof. wow. that is practically perfect in every way. i would put that quite high on the list of things i want to wear to marc&mel's wedding. and also everyday. and then there is the lace which is maybe beyond my powers-of-words, so i will leave it there.
