Clockwork Orange Shirt - ASOS DESIGN

Picked this shirt up from ASOS, from their own 'ASOS DESIGN' brand. I was googling for toys & found this instead! It was on sale, so I couldn't NOT buy it! Thankfully they still had a size small in stock, so it only took about 30 seconds to make a decision on this!

It's nice to find clothing that isn't a t-shirt for once, I do enjoy a collared shirt! This shirt was made in Turkey(who knew that was a fashion hub?) & is 100% viscose. It drapes wonderfully & is incredibly comfortable! The print isn't too thick, which hopefully means this shirt will have a nice long life! I now have an excuse to improve my 'french tuck' technique!

I'm quite eager to wear this out(though it needs a iron first!), it'll create a wonderful smart-casual look! I'm almost tempted to wear it to my brothers wedding in March(which I'm sure would go down well with my family)! Though honestly I feel I could wear this all year round. A nice extra layer in spring, or over a long-sleeve in winter. I love a versitile piece of clothing!

I do love a random 'find'. It's not the first time I've stumbled across A Clockwork Orange clothing, but it's often beyond my price range. It was nice to find something on sale for once!
As I write this, these shirts were still availble, though admittedly only a few sizes left, so if you want one, now is the time! You can find them here.

Shorts & Cinema

So, my trip to see ACO at Event Cinemas was fantastic. The quality of the image was beautiful, quality of sound was fantastic too(though we could tragically hear explosions from another movie playing in an adjacent cinema). It was completely worth the $10 to see. Personally, I'd love to see Event Cinemas show some other Kubrick films. In particular, I'd LOVE to see 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big-screen. Only time will tell what films they'll bring us in the future though.

I also acquired, what are probably the coolest shorts ever, recently. They're by a brand called Arancia Meccanica(can we guess what they focus on?), a seriously fantastic brand, hope to acquire more of their products in the future. I bought them from a seller called 'Marys Clothing' on eBay.

The fact their board-shorts might persuade me to actually go swimming this summer too, that's always a plus. Though even if I don't, I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these religiously. I also love the colours(though these shorts are available in at least one other colour combination that I could find), can't go wrong with black, white & purple.
While I'm writing, I'd like to apologise for the lack of new posts lately. There's only so much stuff I can buy & stuff worth writing about. I have got two blog posts I'm working on, one is quite depressing & I keep putting it off, the other has been delayed due to a product arriving damaged. I have however, found some new items recently, hopefully I'll have myself a little ACO shopping binge in the near future & give you all something new to read!

Keanan Duffty Limited Edition T-Shirt

I haven't been buying much ACO stuff lately. Mostly because I'm a bit poor lately, but I've also been buying other toys(check out my Stuff & Things blog). However, I made an exception for this Keanan Duffty shirt when I stumbled across it on eBay recently.

I enjoy indulging in designer clothing now & then, I also love limited edition items. So this shirt was right up my alley. I don't buy ACO clothing as much as I use to(I have 5 or 6 ACO shirts amongst my mass collection of clothing), but I've found a couple of items recently that I just HAD to add to my collection. In fact, you can expect at least one more upcoming clothing post in the near future!
I bought this shirt though, not because of the limited number, or the designer aspect, but simply because I love the design. It's a really wonderful screen-print & done by hand.

I'm seriously considering wearing this shirt on Friday, when I go to see ACO at Event cinema. It's a little more subtle then my ACO jacket I think & one doesn't want to be too 'uber geek'.
AN additional note. I spent hours attempting to hunt for a toy I saw in a photo yesterday. I had no luck, but did find a couple of other ACO items I had been aware of. So hopefully there will be a few more regular posts from me in the next few weeks(assuming I acquire the money to buy these items anytime soon).

A Clockwork Golly

I've been an avid badge collector for years, though my acquisitions of new ones is rare these days. I stumbled across one on eBay during one of my many browsing sessions, that I simply couldn't resist.
My mother use to occasionally acquire herself a golly badge from Robertsons & I always thought they were quite adorable. The moment I saw this one, I just had to own it.

The badge is a custom design by Sticky Wotsits on eBay(a tribute to the golly badges available in the past). It's a beautifully executed design. These photos don't do the details justice.

I only own a handful of enamel badges, a majority of them are on my custom ACO jacket. All of my ACO enamel badges are from eBay(there's a couple of others I hope to gain in the future). The boots badge was just a spontaneous addition & not specifically ACO inspired, though I think it's a nice touch on my jacket.
The jacket was designed by me & I had it sew by a seller on etsy(suspect999, tragically her store no longer exists). It's one of my few 'unique' items & something I'm quite proud of.

These of course, are not the only ACO clothing/accessories I own, but definitely some of my favourites.

As always, I apologise for the delay with a new post. Just seems I'm a bit distracted lately.
