"Must Haves" (but maybe not too much!)

Afternoon chaps, 
After neglecting this poor blog - I am now going a bit overboard with the posts... Ah well; hopefully this will occupy some of your work avoidance activity for this Monday.
One of my #1 reasons for moving to the UK was fashion. Now that I am here; I am awed at the pace that trends move at. Sorry Cape Town fashionistas, but it appears we are far too indulgent. We should have thrown out most trends before they have even reached our shores!
It is annoying though - as it appears that as soon as you get used to the idea of something - it's already past sell by date! 
What's precipitated this mini-rant one may ask? Birds! Birds, birds, birds!

The trend cycle is just getting shorter and shorter!
Unlucky Mandy who purchased (and loves) these birdie earrings; realises that this trend has a limited lifespan. Do I carry on wearing these, knowing that at any time they can be deemed as "so last season"? What/who determines what is "last season"? Is it already "last season" because I am worried about it?

It's so annoying that I love this Ted Baker print a little less now...

...But just a little less ;-) I want it. More than cake.
