I always have to blush and cower a little when people say that I don't follow trends with the implication that I'm a trendstarter. Not true at all. The honest truth is more often than not I am an avid trend watcher and a lot will wind up in my outfits in some twisted way or another. I'm certainly not some sort of renegade creature who is up in the clouds somewhere "marching to the beat of my own drum" (I doubt even the most eccentric mavericks are marching to any kind of beat...). I'm especially sheep-like with this particular post as I have succumbed to the charms of Peeps.Org, an affordable label designed by New York based Mia Lindquist who I gather is still a student. I had read about the label on several blogs but it was the lace-up floral skirt that Selina at Flying Saucer had bought that really caught my eye. Sheep alert! I went and bought a few items straight away.
There were some postage mishaps along the way but finally my Peeps Package arrived and in it contained the skirt, a nude mesh hands top, a black studded simple tank and then a white studded bikini for wearing over things. Haven't had a chance to style them up hence this head-to-toe look that demonstrates I sometimes am just too lazy to think of clever combinations and actually I'm fairly happy with being a lazy outfit bum.
Mia's creations have no grand concept and are just plain fun. They're trend-led but with her own twist and above all affordable. I should think that were people like Mia around when I was about 15, I'd be throwing all my Chinese New Year, birthday and Christmas money (my only source of income at the time) in her direction. One peep at her site today and already she's dropped some new items... I feel another Peeps.org package ordeal coming on...
