A friend of mine is in London right now and has kindly offered to do a bit of shopping for me. Hurrah! I had the choice of American Apparel, Urban Outfitters and my current favourite, Uniqlo. I love Uniqlo because, as Sarah-Rose declared, it has “cheap cashmere in amazing colours, great jeans, great outerwear. You have too many options!”
Too many options? Hells yeah, there are some lovely pieces to choose from. However I managed to narrow it down, here’s my picks:
1. Extra fine merino cardigan in blue. Recently Klein Blue was splashed all over runways. I’ll wear it to work with pearls, black skinny jeans and studded boots and drink out of pink porcelain tea cups.
2. Striped hoodie in navy. This feels very A.P.C. and sailor friendly. You should wear it down to a pub or dinky cafe you’ve never been before – it’ snug enough to keep you feeling comfortable in a strange environment.
3. Cotton cashmere cardigan in yellow. A chirpy wee number that screams positivity. Wear it, take names and kick ass.
I’m so excited… the last time I bought something from Uniqlo was in Japan and it was mostly t-shirts for my boyfriend. Sadly I couldn’t wiggle into the XL girl’s sizes – Japanese clothes are crazy small! Godspeed, little Uniqlo package of cool.

I love Uniqlo!! That’s exciting for you! Hope you don’t have to wait too long…
You are now the proud owner of the navy striped hoodie :)
Sadly they didn’t seem to have that style of cardigan but if you want there is a grey marino cardi in the same style of the yellow with your name on it!
You should see how much I bought, I couldn’t stop!
LJ: A week or so. I’m also excited because I haven’t seen my friend for 6 months!
Laza: You’re the very best!
