Isn't it amazing that the model can look both sinister and ethereal at the same time? The soft draping on the dress juxtaposed with the slick tailoring and angles of the jacket works perfectly! Although it would be quite a statement, I do think these jackets are wearable, rather than just costume pieces. In order to be so raised and sharp, i'm desperate to know what the fabric feels like, and if the wearability of it from that point of view suffers!
Jennine on the Coveted said that although she admires these jackets, you would have to be as thin as a rake to actually wear one of them: i'm inclined to disagree and I am rather desperate to prove her wrong: I want to wear this jacket over acres of grey jersey with high gloss black leggings and killer shoes.
The problem is, I can't figure out where I can buy it from (or even just lustfully try one on)!! New High (M)art stocks some of the Teamo range (including this amazing Mary Kate and Ashley t-shirt I am also coveting hard!)
...but they are yet to stock the AW09/10 stock. I am hoping with everything crossed that they will! Anyone have any idea where I can get this jacket in London??.
I am yet to see an item from the Teamo design duo from Mexico that I don't like: although I rarely wear earrings, I would bend this unofficial rule to wear these black fringed hoops: 
The fringing on the hoops goes all the way round, extending up into the hair, which would look fabulous against my golden locks (even if I do say so myself!)
So it's official; Teamo is my favorite designer of the moment. I'm addicted to their overthetop designs and architectural attention to details. Now I just need to find someone who's eyes i'd like to remove, so I can try out my imaginary new jacket (one day!) properly!

As much as I love the Oxford Street topshop (I sometimes call it the motherland!) I generally avoid it like the plague when the sales are on. It's too busy, too crowded, to difficult to find what you're looking for, and in my experience I can never find what I want in the size I want, and I always end up with an elbow to the ribs! So when the sale begins I make a beeline for any other large topshop store; in this case Brent Cross (The topshop in Norwich comes highly recommended if you're anywhere near: half the store is turned over to sale stock!)
So here are my picks of the sale. The oversized Barbara Hulanicki shopper bags have been reduced from £25 to £12. I'm kicking myself for not picking up the coral one for my swim kit; I might have to see if the boyfriend will run down and get it for me!
And now to the changing rooms: 
Obviously because it was the summer sales the theme of the day was lots of pretty florals and cotton dresses: perfect for summer holidays and sunny days in the park! Most of the dresses were a little tight and cut too short on my bust, but the fit of all of them wasn't bad at all! I LOVE the top with the rivets, but with those leggings? Only if I want to look like a floral hippo! I think you'd have to be a very skinny minnie to wear these without a skirt or dress on top!
That incredible jumpsuit was a shirt with the sleeves making the legs and the collar turned into pockets!
Grey zip-up jersey dress, Miss Selfridge, £10. This dress looks amazing with a tshirt underneath, but awful without. I can imagine it looking lovely with a black and white stripey tshirt and a big red bow in my hair!
Zip detail denim dress, Therapy, £15. I really hope there sizes are wrong because I couldn't have shoe-horned myself into this if I wanted to! Too short, too tight, and too inflexible! I think just the thought of this dress made me stick out my rump and think myself big!
I loved this dress off the hanger. Miss Selfridges, £18. The colour was great, the ruffles, the vintage pattern: all theoretically yum! But on I thought it made me look very frumpy; and not the good kind!
