    You always have the best photos! I can't seem to stop staring at the jumbled keys & I love the cheekiness of the "Rich & Skinny" tote, though I wouldn't have the guts to ever put it on :)

    Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments. I've got a soft spot for preppy too - must be all those classic RL ads :)

    now how neat is this?! i barely notice the actual words because it's all so interesting and graphic.
    the use of words and lettering is becoming quite a trend, not just in fashion, but also in art and design.

    l love wearing words, especially for tee, but i don't really like it if it's too much..

    keep it simple, and keep the meaning more :D
    one of my fave 'wordy' pieces are the 'i'm not a plastic bag' bags by anya hindmarch

    love love love!!
