We are pining for winter. It's not because we hate the summer. Are you crazy? This is Australia it's pretty much summer 8 months of the year. It's not because the dense, sticky heat that has engulfed us the last few weeks has been almost unbearable. It's not because for the last 7 months we've been living, breathing and dreaming our summer ranges and that we're over it (well we kind of are, but that's not the main reason we are lusting after dreamy knits and thick stockings or why Six is prematurely buying her winter boots for the season.) Winter is calling us because whilst we are seeking refuge in any shadey alcove or small body of water we can find the rest of the world is bombarding us with snowy images of perfection. Beautiful fall and winter garments that are so lovely you would immediately forget that your toes had been struck with frost bite or that your nose is constantly dripping from said snowy bliss. We are basically pining for a winter that to us does not exist and when our winter does eventually roll around, oh say in July! It will most definitely not resemble anything like we had dreamt it to be - no snowy wonderland more than likely lots of wind with a touch of rain. Basically it's jealousy that while we should be gloriously basking in our bath like ocean waters and radiant sun we wish we were frolicking in the snow in our woolen capes and delightfully thick stockings. But don't fret lovelies, when winter does eventually decide to show its timid face we will be complaining that we want summer!
For now we can find inspiration for all things chilly from this delightful Fall 2010 range by Dear Creatures.
