A nice simple hoodie today to ease me back into the blogging habit after a little break for Easter (not that I’m at all religious, but when everyone you know is off work its hard to buck the trend), I found out yesterday at a dinner party that Americans don’t get Easter Monday or Good Friday off work, I pitied you all very much whilst tucking into slow-roasted lamb.

Anyway, the stitched on bear applique is pretty cute, but its actually the hood lining that I’m far more interested in. I like the way that there is such a strong contrast between the blue on the outside and the starkness of the black and white striped lining, although I guess that the model kind of exacerbates the contrast too as she’s pretty black-and-white herself. This is presumably a high-quality piece too, as most of the items in the Jessica Louise store are hand cut and sewn, which as you would imagine does increase the amount of time between ordering and the postman dropping that package into your waiting hands (about 1-2 weeks in most cases).

It’s available in several colours, none of which are all that shy!

… and apparently the Swiss are also quite adept at designing cool clothes, if the selection available at plus41 is anything to go by.

We also may well have found someone that ties with me as hottest product model in the history of HYA. Yeah, your right, she ain’t got nuffin on me.

This hoodie (that doesn’t seem to have a traditional hood) is actually more clever than I orginally gave it credit, I thought it was just a selection of geometric blocks, kinda like tetris with angles. But upon closer inspection I can see a bear, a dog, a bird, and a Swiss cross, there’s probably a load more that I haven’t seen too. Oh, and the print begins (or ends) in one of the kangaroo pouches, super nice.

Costiness=€75, from here.

*Just noticed that the design is called Tangram Animals, guess the bear shouldn’t have been much of a surprise afterall.*
