...is something that this heat induces.  Ok I know I'm going to sound like a whiner but the heat in London is getting to that muggy/cloudy humid annoying stage that is making me fall asleep at every given opportunity.  So whilst I'm experiencing narcoleptic moments at the bus stop, on the tube or even worse, at work, time is even more of the essence. 

Like I said yesterday, my windows of opportunity for shopping are pretty much limited these days so when I got the chance to roam around the shops, I went a little mad and when I popped into The Lazy Ones store off Brick Lane, who are having an equally mad 70% off sample sale.  I chuffed about this 'low street' label a few months ago and I'm glad it's all going peachy for Nat and Diego and they may even be making a Stateside crossover as the new Topshop store in  New York will replicate the Oxford Circus London flagship with an external label bazaar section.  I'm just about prepping myself for the NY madness that will ensue at the opening...   

Anyhow, back to heat-induced laziness....turns out the word 'lazy' in Nat and Diego's shop name DOES have some significance.  These are pieces that don't need much done to them at all... a throw em' on attitude, grab your bag and get out... which frankly (and I know it will seem a little contradictory after last week's post on layering...but how I was I supposed to know faint-worthy heat would be cranked up in London...?) is all that I can muster up because I'm feeling not 100% (doctors' appointment tomorrow to find out whether kidney stones could be jamming up my system...)...

So along with a nude loose dress with lace trim, a pink and orange off-shoulder sleeve dress and a blue and olive flared skirt, bags get a rare appearance on the blog as the outfits in reality, like I said are the throw-em-on-and-grab-a-bag sort...
