" Pretty Portobello: Piracy

26 April 2010

Piracy

Hi guys,

Here I'm in a very bright outfit, just the way I like it! My summer wardrobe is begging to come out, full of colours.

I also love this outfit, because it takes me back, to McLaren and Westwood's first catwalk show, the Pirate collection, way back in 1981! (A/W 1981-2).
The 'squiggle' (how this funny print is called) it's an iconic print, a total Westwood classic! It's bold, fun and definitely not for the faint hearted.

I was so excited that I was able to get my hands on some cool 'pirate' items, I just had a heart attack when this print was back, summer last year. I had always been a huge fan of it... Ahhhh, finally a dream had come true!

Arrrrr!

Fab outfit... I'm such a fan of Dame Viv! I was meaning to visit the World's End store on Kings Road while I was in London just now, but didn't have the time unfortunately. I've been meaning to get the pirate boots in beige. And I love the squiggle print as well!
