I WILL MISS....COS

Okay, okay, Cos is Swedish but it is something I will not be able to get in Canada. Hopefully one day they will open a shop in Canada or do something about their website and open online!

I am no longer working which means I am not able to spend a single penny on myself unless it is absolutely essential. I would argue that a new winter coat from COS is essential but my boyfriend would disagree. So, the stupidest thing I could have done today was walk into COS just to take a look. I, of course, wanted everything. I started to sweat and had to leave before my card accidentally paid for a new cotton dress or a pair of leather mittens (so cute!).

I walked out only with the Fall issue of their magazine for some eye candy and it did not disappoint. I love the colours they have chosen this year, marl greys, soft neutrals, deep jewel tones which are accented with a bright orange.

Flat-Simply Cos

I love the way Cos showcased their clothing without models in their SS11 Magazine. It shows off the textures and quality of the clothing without knowing what the garments look like but still puts together a complete look. You can just feel the softness of the clothing from this image and it reminds me of a designers mood board for a new collection. Beautiful.

COS-SS10

I have raved about H&M's higher level shop Cos before, and it looks like I will not be stopping any time soon. They have a new SS10 magazine out in the shops and as soon as I open the page I want the everything. I have never done this before but I asked the shop assistant to get me everything is this photo and I bought it. So simple, and the draped jacket and belt will go with everything in my wardrobe.

COS

H&M's higher end, sophisticated, structured, soft and cool line COS has been my favourite shop since I discovered it a year ago. Now they have an equally cool and clean website and magazine showing their new line, an article on the media shy Grace Coddington of US Vogue and some cool art. I have picked out my favourite pieces and am ready to go shopping on payday, thank goodness the clothes are also reasonably priced!
