sass and abide

I would just like to begin by saying, if there were fashion gods, every sunday i would bring offerings to the temple of Sass and Bide.
I just love everything they're about, their fearlessness of textures/colours/prints, their stories behind their collections (one heart felt collection celebrating the life of a friend of theirs who passed away from cancer- beautiful colours used throughout), and how flattering the designs are for the female figure, just have a squiz at the lovely Kimmy K in these pieces:

Juuuuuust gorgeous! I love Miss K, but that is another blog to come...

Another thing i admire about old S n' B is the ladies behind the label, Heidi and Kate are two loving mums and wives aswell as amazing designers.
They have successfully made a business from what they love, kept a close friendship, have families, still dress the way they wanna dress and don't listen to 'dress your age' notions, and keep amazing tans!
Oh and they also seem to have an interest in sparklies like myself, always showing at least a sequin dress or patches of shiny beading here and there.
So the next item I have my eyes quite literally on, are their eyewear collection:


Oh which one to pick?
Now that i work in the city, i feel it is my duty to visit regularly the Sass and Bide store, just to be in the relm of awesome style, my 'church'.
So i leave this with giving myself 10 commandments to abide by:
  1. Thou shalt dress however ye desires without being restricted by other opinions.
  2. Thou shalt spend a weeks' pay on  an investment piece per collection.
  3. Thou shalt use childhood toys to make awesome helmuts.
  4. Thou shalt acquire a sequin covered party dress.
  5. Thou shalt do what ye love as a career, preferably with a buddy.
  6. Thou shalt still believe in having little quotes to go with how thy style is at the time.
  7. Thou shalt have fun with fashion
  8. Thou shalt remember ye can have a family aswell as a career
  9. Thou shalt love thy accessories
  10. Thou shalt accompany thy outfit with a rocking hair style
