Okay, confession. I may or may not have become slightly obsessed with finding colourful graffiti with a very obvious affinity for amusing animals after finding the Packin' Penguin the other day. Can you tell? Ha. We spotted the cycling Gorilla on the same day, but kept his location as a mental note to come back to another day. With a fitting outfit. And what could be as equally amazing as a spray painting Gorilla riding a pink bike than the Black Milk Beetlejuice skirt? Nothing. That's the answer to that.

I've reached a point with my wardrobe that I probably have everything I need, and a lot more besides. It's taken me this long to learn not to keep adding to all that excess just because something is pretty and I like it; now, if I'm buying something, I'm making sure that I'm selecting something that is key, unique and has a place in my style and the future of it. Black Milk is my answer to that: leggings that I bought four years ago are still as relevant and as exciting today as they were when I first decided that I needed them in my life. So I know that when I make an investment in their pieces, that I'll still be as riveted by them no matter how many seasons or trends pass by. If ever you are quivering over the price, that is the key piece of reality you need to remember, Black Milk is timeless ... in it's own, quirky little way.
