French Connection is always a little bewildering to me. I mean there was a certain point when all of a sudden they had a couple covetable items, which happened to coincide with last year's messily creative collagey advertising campaign. Maybe marketing just works that well on me, as I ended up purchasing a white silk sequined tunic dress that was pretty overpriced for the quality (sequins now hang by mere single threads) but I suppose I still love it anyway. I'm thinking it's going to be paired with my fringey bag sometime soon for an ethereal hippie tribute. This dress seems to have redesigned this year and is now available in a potentially completely rad chartreuse.
I find myself once again drawn to one of their pieces this year (maybe this is strictly an annual occurence?), in the form of this "Mayhem Coat". That huge bow and ridiculous amounts of volume are making my heart flutter. I like the bare legs and heels, and it would be sweet paired with a little white lace or red floral dress, I am thinking. Too bad I refuse to pay that much for what is essentially a glamorized canvas coat. Sigh.

Wow, Rumi I officially check your blog way to often, but I love it. Anyways I have to agree with you, french connection can be very seemingly overpriced for what your getting, but I do know the feeling of wanting to get sucked in by some cute pieces. Luckily, a store near me, Winners, often has french connection stuff, and all the dresses are pretty much 19.99-29.99 I just got sucked into buying one last week =D (19.99, yayy)
I agree about french connection. The quality is terrible! I bought this simple satchel last year during the July sale, and threads were hanging off of it by December. So mad. But I adore that jacket.
oh,i love that green jacket!
I like this coat but I also like the pictures and the atmpshere created. And above all the ribbon in the hair!
French Connection clothes are so overpriced for what they are. The material isn't always the nicest and it's always badly made. I've also been lusting after that chartreuse dress though....so pretty!
I love some of French Connections prints, and that coat is marvelous, but I agree - for the quality of the clothing and materials the price is awful.
That Green Coat is pretty gorgeous though!
I agree. For me vary few items interest me. Love the green on that coat!
i keep falling in love with the 2nd sweater tunic/dress, but i have to keep reminding myself that i saw it in the store and its too heavy for summer
Love the big yellow bag!
I'm a huge fan of the bow trend as well and have recently come across several cute options at Forever21!
I love that dress! Sigh, a little out of my budget...
I dont usually buyFrench Connection clothes because they always go on sale! I bought a black silk dress i fell in love with in the winter, and literally a week later it was on sale for 40%-i happily got a price adjustment otherwise i would not have been very happy
this color green is so big this season check out filippa k's new collection, peppered with it http://www.filippa-k.com/#/collections/spring_summer_2008/woman/contemporary/main_collection/1/
Or you could move to Las Vegas and wait until their clothes appear in the outlets, in which case they are usually at least 75% off. And that's what I do.
I just tried on the green coat the other day, it looks so fabulous on! the color is a LOT more vivid in real life however. almost blindingly green.
I loooove the green coat but yes it is pricey!!! i totally love the other items also!!!!!
the green coat is such a dream, i love it! I think I'll try do make one on my own
