Wearing: Tight Tigers Milli in The Hood, Report Shoes Leeton Platforms

 Tight Tigers was founded by Claire Coppins in 2010 and has some of the most fun collections I have ever seen. With lots of sequins and lace, the pieces are all brilliant and have what she describes as "a splash of rock 'n' roll with a cheeky pinch of de la soul." What I love about this sequin hoodie-dress that Claire so kindly sent me, besides that fact that it is the most DAZZLING piece of clothing anyone has ever seen, is that is that despite being covered in sequins, it is super comfortable. The lining inside keeps the sequins from ever touching you, which may sound like a stupid thing to like about any apparel but have you ever worn a sequin dress/top that doesn't have a good lining? I have and I can promise you, it is a far from pleasant experience.
I love Mary Janes so it's no surprise that these Leeton platforms I got from Report (which has an amazing range of shoes that you should check out STAT) is my favorite from my vast collection of six pairs of shoes. The shape is so incredibly gorgeous and the platform is just high enough that you can wear it for hours without feeling a thing. 

I'm not big on the whole New Year's resolutions thing but I'm definitely going to try and post a little more regularly from now on. And if I manage for get into the Fashion Institute of Technology for the Fall 2012 session, I may just {fingers crossed} be posting from New York in some time!

Good luck with your FIT application, fingers crossed!
