Yellow Nail Polish for Summer Into Fall

I'm predicting that yellow will be big this fall. It looks great with lots of unexpected hues but my favorite pairing is with grey. Here my yellow nails are offset by my grey Allsaints top and Stephan King's On Writing. Keep an eye out for yellow clothes and accessories in the next few months and into the fall.

Allsaints (the Perfect Store) Spitalfields

I believe that I found the perfect store today: Allsints Spitalfields. Not since I was a goth teen visiting Trash and Vaudeville for the first time have I experienced what I experienced today. Every single item of clothing looked like it was not only made for me, but like it was made from the images in my mind of what I have always wanted to look like.
I pulled down shirt after shirt after dress after dress and each seemed more suited to my exact taste than the last. It got to be a little bit embarrassing carrying the growing mound of clothes through the store like a bag lady.
And then the dilemma of narrowing it down! Usually I try on clothes and immediately discard them based on poor cut or construction. Not the case here. I looked great in every piece that I tried on because they were thankfully cut with real humans (not runway models) in mind.
I should mention at this point that the clothes I tried on ranged in price from $40 to $240, and that's with the 50% markdown for the summer sale, kinda pricey (the one downfall of this store). I ended up buying these two sale items.
Allsaints Spitalfields is located at 512 Broadway, between Broome and Spring Streets in SoHo.
