Face Me
Custo Barcelona has always been known for their iconic prints and vivid colours, later they hit the scene with awesome graphic character designs which I just love. At the time the characters tended to be pictured by themselves or in ‘cool’ settings like cities shopping or on a beach. In a fit of indulgence I bought three (clearance prices of course!) which I thought looked like me and I could identify with. I really wanted one (or two ahem) of the thick, cozy zip up jumpers they had as well but they were a too pricey.
I love wearing these tops because they have a positive vibe and they’re bright/colourful; kinda a top I have from when I was approx 14/15 which is tie dyed in almost every colour with a big heart with beaded perimeter on the front of it and even though the hems are fraying and a few beads have come off I still keep it and it’s still my favourite. So today I needed to feel a little upbeat and out came one of my Custo’s – perfect.
The trousers are from Next, petite range in faux suede – they’re mums but she doesn’t wear them anymore.
Here’s some pics from 2008 of another of my triplicate of Custo:
and for a laugh a couple of even older pics with my old trademark stripey flame hair wearing my favourite rainbow top 🙂

I’ve never heard of this label but now you’ve piqued my interest. I bet it’s not available stateside though, eh? I positively adore today’s look; the sleeves are doing me in. And talk about impossible poses! That last one would try my center of gravity!
Hmm I’m not sure about re-sellers or branches in the US but it looks like they ship worldwide: http://shop.custobarcelona.com/us/en/woman/ 🙂 There’s also bound to be sellers on Amazon/eBay. They were inspired by their travels in California so it’d be terrible if they weren’t available to the US 🙂
Lol I guess it depends on what our individual bodies can handle – my joints and lower back are constantly nagging me so a little flexibility is good for me but holds aren’t as comfortable for me.
WoW!! I’m loving the curly mane with the tie dye shirt. Also like your yoga poses.
Thanks again! 😀 I’m glad you like the pics and lol very glad you like my mane, I used to be in the vast minority about liking the curls and colours 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
