Confezioni Crosby A/W 12

Confezioni Crosby's Fall/Winter '12 collection, despite it only having just turned Spring, is an inspiration for me all year round. I'm a sucker for pinafores and the pyjama trend so my goodness isn't this all just wonderful? I personally believe it is valid for me to be discussing this collection in April because such items can be strategically styled for all seasons. You just need to deduct the tights, coats and long sleeves from the equation and it's ready for warmer months. 
What I adore about Confezioni Crosby as a brand is not only the fact I feel it is befitting my style (rather excitingly I ponder all the possibilities of styling) but also the way in which beautiful pieces are brought together in collections that really stand out individually but don't follow seasonal trends so strongly that you would have forgotten you owned it by next season. They are staple and essential items that I personally could see myself wearing time and time again, into next season and all the seasons after. Classic shapes and quality materials, they are investment pieces that will become the centre of your outfit, finding yourself tailoring all the other pieces to it when you're getting ready each day.

Like peas in a pod.

It's trending to make your outfit compliment each other, like peas in a pod. Matching prints to create a dress of separates like at Family Affair with this zesty ensemble swarmed with zebras. The twin set is a pure delight for me especially so after gathering together a small wish-list, then did I realise that I have a desire for a skirt of longer length. The shirt and skirt, both from Confezioni Crosby send me off in to a daydream where I'm Rizzo from Grease hidden behind a pillar, books welded in my arms against my chest, contemplating through chorus what my neighbours will think of me (I don't however daydream about her circumstances).

When the sun peeps through the broken skies and nature begins to breathe, showing first signs of new life, I relish the thought of white cotton and seasons beginning in 'S'. White cotton means waving goodbye to winter for a while and replacing the worry of being snowed in with taking refuge under a shady tree to escape the heat.
