Dear Susie, How did you get to be so good at wearing multiple textures and prints? Can we please schedule a lesson in layering? You looked so good this day that I wanted to stroke your body… bu...
Love the idea of wearing a mixture of neutral shades with stark brights and bold colour. It’s like the whole colour blocking trend decided to grow up and get a bit more sophisticated. Hedvig an...
Today I felt truly honored to wear a couple of pieces from Charlie May’s AW12 collection. It was presented last night at a roof top suite at the swanky Sanctum Soho Hotel and Charlie kindly let...
The forecast predicted rain for the entire day but it wasn’t until about 3pm that the sky decided to unleash the dragon. It was the mother load of all showers, the sort of rain that sent fashio...
Oh me, oh my… it was the first day of fashion week… what to wear, what to wear? I opted for some pastel colors (pink jeans and a jumper in a slew of bubblegum shades) but then went and ru...
Although Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman described their Autumn/Winter collection as being inspired by ’Russian peasants, tzars and insects’, for me, it was more about taking such earth...
The last two days I’ve been running around London catching up with people and preparing for the madness that is being unleashed today. It has involved tackling public transport (I’m usele...
Brrrr… I’m starting to wonder whether the temperature will ever get above zero degrees. In my delirious dreams for Spring I seem to be grasping at anything that isn’t black or grey....
I’m not trying to harp on about this whole peplum thing but Peter Som did send half of his AW12 collection (18 out of 36 looks to be exact) out with some form of peplum effect. As if I needed a...
As I’m sure you already know (begrudgingly or not) Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Personally I’m a fan of any day that gets me extra chocolate but find the over commerci...
It’s not everyday you come across a lamp at Ikea that channels the aura of a certain Tunisian-born couturie r…. But the Torna does just that, I swear it’s the reincarnation of the pe...
It’s really cold. Like minus 15 degrees celsius in the middle of the day cold. I’m from California. I don’t know how to deal with this kind of weather. There are two options: embrac...
It all began just before Christmas… I was on the hunt for a cute little somethin-somethin to take with me to the US for my nieces and nephew. You see, I’ve learned I must come prepared wi...
Hey, hey, hey – you know what time it is! I’m moving flats next weekend and to celebrate I’m attempting to lighten the load of my wardrobe. So, the blog shop as once again been open...
Oh, yes yes yes… the peplum has had its moment before. Back in the ’40s and ’50s Dior nipped in the waists of women in the peplum style. Famously, it came to be known as the ‘...
I think it’s a continuation of the January blues but I’ve been feeling hugely uninspired about getting dressed lately. In my head I’ve already moved onto Spring but sadly the weathe...
When I was a kid I wasn’t allowed to watch the Simpsons… now, I have almost every season on DVD. Of course I get why my parents didn’t want me watching it, the characters can be pre...
Currently haunted by an unquenchable desire for metallic claws, wedge velcro sneakers, mood rings, and fluorescent plastic. Who would have thought? Too often, things are so wrong that they’re r...
With the 21st century has come a new and very real danger: cold fingers when using touch screen devices. We’ve all been there… it’s freezing and you’re standing in front of th...
Yeah, I like fashion but I also like french toast… a lot. Normal french toast is good but, as I discovered this morning, stuffed french toast is even better. I’d never tried it before but...
1. Blocked denim via Cos and A Détacher. 2. Floral on floral on floral from ADAM. 3. Dreamy misty landscapes. 4. Washed out pink denim from MiH. 5. Acne accessories: the turquoise Alice shoe and clea...
When I first decided to do this chalkboard paint DIY I had fancy-pants plans for this platter. I imagined it laid out with an elaborate spread of exotic cheese… instead you’ve got a selec...
Seriously, what is it with January? I’m finding it to be the most difficult month to get through. It starts with a theatrical bang (champagne corks flying, fireworks exploding) but simmers stag...
When I was back home for the holidays my mom whipped out a big cardboard box. Inside were about a hundred little plastic bags that had been carefully filled with jewelry my grandma had planned to thr...
2012 sees the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy and in the spirit of all things heroic it seems only right to reign in the comic book trend with a bit of covetable high f...
‘Varsity jackets are so in right now, don’t you know? Hello, everyone from Alexander Wang to Proenza Schouler has shown them. Sure, they might be all over the high street but those knocko...
Chalkboard paint… who knew it could be so addictive? After seeing this DIY post on Wit & Whistle I decided to try my hand at a bit of chalkboard painting. If you haven’t come across t...
One of the things I find most frustrating about being away from home is packing… When I arrive at my final destination things go like this: throw open my suitcase, longingly peer through the co...
Bizarrely, nothing quite sends me over the bliss-edge quite like a good ‘Year in Review.’ From Reuters to Gawker, Float Fast Hummingbird and Style.com… they all stir up warm feeling...
Envy. It’s the only word to describe how I feel about my husband’s new boots. Sitting on the front porch covered in mud they’re the embodiment of all things Americana. L.L.Bean neve...
