denim heaven with Bambi & Manson



This past spring Erin sent me a picture of jean shorts. I asked her to send me the link because I could not resist owning a pair. The jeans came from a London based label, Bambi & Manson, ran and created by Polly O'Connell and her boyfriend, Jim Cubitt. They use vintage Levi jeans for all the shorts and jackets they make, and are known for the two sides of the label: Bambi, the sweet lacy, floral side and Manson, the studded, frayed, ripped side. As I looked through the collection I was in denim heaven. Each pair of shorts were so unique and fabulous I was having a difficult time deciding which I should get for myself. Erin bought herself Millie Mackintosh's custom pair. I liked those a lot, but I wanted to add my own twist on them, so I ordered through the "custom" option. 


My description of shorts inspired me to have a custom crop top made to match. I ordered my shorts with a cross on the right back pocket and had the cross put in the center of the crop top.  I think Polly liked my idea for a shirt a lot because she made this propaganda promoting my shirt, which she named "The Britney Tee." 

About a month after ordering my fist pair of Bambi shorts and tee I entered one of their many contests on Facebook promoting their new line of denim jackets. They wanted contestants to "Like" and "Share" pictures of the jacket and "Comment" on a post asking why you thought you needed the jacket. I did all of the following and amazingly I won! I was so excited to get my much needed denim jacket (because I didn't have one!) especially from the creative collection that Polly made. The jacket I won is called The Doll. There are many chances to win their clothing by liking them on their Facebook page and keeping up with their updates. 

L.A.L.A.LOVE Bambi & Manson apparel! Can't wait to get more!
