I watched Disney’s Aladdin tonight and, aside from the delightful (if a little deluded) childhood memories (I was ten when it was released), I felt really inspired by the colours and the clothes. Jasmine’s gorgeous turquoise trouser and crop-top combo, teamed with her long, thick dark hair wrapped up in gold accessories made me want to pack for a romantic trip to the Middle East. I began to wonder who my go-to designers would be for such a trip (obviously DvF, Matthew Williamson, etc) but I suddenly realised that Monsoon and Accessorize would also be perfect, and a hell of a lot cheaper! I went on an internet window shopping trip and found some beautiful pieces, perfect for flying away on a magic carpet with my very own Prince.
