Collection Rylan Blazer in Harris Tweed & Natasha Pump in Fresh Creme

A double billing (again)!

Blazer:
This is showing up in the current sale in limited sizes. Initially, the ridiculous price of this blazer caused me to ignore it altogether. Plus, the wierd colours were ... Wierd. Then, it showed up, on sale, in a size 00 - weeks after the initial launch and immediate selling out (how does that really work?). So I decided to try it on.

Pros: excellent quality fabrics, with a little touch of Bodenesque emotion; good construction; non-standard colours.

Cons: boxy fit, which is the design offered by the Rylan cut of blazer. 

Sizing: I sized down one, due to the oversize fit. 

Verdict: quality worth keeping. Not sure whether I am.

Natasha pumps: 
Pros: lovely colour, beautiful leather; good construction. Amazing price in sale. 
Cons: potentially loose ankle strap, depending on your ankles.

Sizing: TTS

Verdict: pretty amazing ... They are a creamy white, though. ;)



Whimsy: "made with love" - it actually got me, too!
