  • And Thrice Makes a Trend?

    A funny thing happened over the summer, well funny in relation to bags that is.. everyone started carrying a tote around with very unique pattern. I saw student types, I saw grandma’s, I saw people on Marylebone High Street carrying this bag. It was the IKEA siting coupled with then seeing Kate Moss carrying it on holidays – twice, in TWO colour ways – that finally made me ask “where did you get that bag”..

    As it turned out, it is Goyard ! a brand I had never heard of until that day.. and then after the summer, I saw it again in another form, it’s original form..the trunk..

    Once I checked out the website, I was in awe and totally dying for one of these bags. Aside from some websites selling what must be fakes… (as the website clearly states, they don’t sell via third parties or e-commerce)

    I love that Goyard are still independent, I love that they run a “Chic du Chien” boutique, and the best stamp of approval – Karl Lagerfeld has a personal account there – since 1972..

  • Women’s Winter Boots part 1

    The sun has been shining so long, the world of black tights and boots seem like a lifetime ago.. but sure enough fashion has other ideas and the new boots of the season have arrived.. the first 3 of my favourites are:

    The Isabel Marant boot for this winter, she does an iconic one every year it seems, and this one looked so luxurious and snug with all the beautiful knits she did:

    The the Saint Laurent.. not the one that went with the Nirvana era throwback season he did, the boots that go with all the sexy suiting:

    and here is one of the multiple permutations of the unexpected but soon to be hit of the season, the ‘Over the Knee’ aka OTK.. by Miu Miu…

     

  • Are we there yet?

    The new season is nearly upon us. Anyone on London knows that just this once, we don’t want it! We need more summer clothes cos it’s baaakking over here! I’m down to one pair of ‘posh’ sandals because i thought this would never happen.. but here it is, a proper summer.

    Like it or not however, in fashion world the seasons are changing and slowly the trickle of autumn/winter ’14 is making it’s way into the shops. I was thinking recently about how some of my favourite things are old things. They don’t even have to be expensive or good quality.. but dressing out of season is way cooler, no? BUT here is some of my favourites from Zara’s new ‘inspired by’ season … question is.. should we wear it now,  or a year from now?

    Love the jacket, in spite of the check being identical to the cheap plastic storage bags you can found in the pound shop

     
    Great coat and cropped trousers, I like the grey mix thrown into a monochrome look.

    Again, great great trousers. I wold wear them with heels or loafers though.

    And something to wear now, love the shorts. would wear them with the shirt above though.

    Au revoir for now!

  • Minimilism and Paris

    Isabel Marant, Martin Grant, Vanessa Bruno and Dior have shown beautiful collections in Paris this weekend which have pre-empted Celine and Ms Philo herself with a sublime minimalistic offering

    White and Black and Grey continues to be a trend, with splashes of Navy, and as shown at Vanessa Bruno amongst others.

    Vanessa Bruno really delivered. The photos below are some of my favourite looks, but it was hard to narrow it down, she did a great sexy school girl slash grown up office woman without it being theme-ey. Love the suiting, so sophisticated.

    Dior, showing it’s second season by Raf Simons, also showed permutations of this straight laced woman with an edge – mid-length hour glass shaped dresses and suiting, waistcoats. The Dior woman is a more serene version of the Dolce woman we met a few days ago. Is Carine R the inspiration for everyone at the moment?!?!?

    Martin Grant showed the ultimate in simple elegance. These dresses made me want to be that woman and of course I want to go somewhere that calls for a dress as elegant as these.

    And finally, what is fast becoming the juggernaut that is Isabel Marant. Get me a thigh master because these white tights are not going to be forgiving. Aside from that, Ms Marant seems to just want to be comfortable next Fall while still looking chic and glamourous. I want all the layers of knits and I want to drape myself in the coats and scarves and slouch into a smokey cafe with my french boyfriend and discuss art.

    On the wishlist. Jimmy Choo. Metallic. Enough said.

  • Dolce-land

    Maybe it’s the weather.. maybe it’s being cooped up at home without holiday plans.. maybe it’s me, but for the last few seasons all I have wanted to do is live in the tropical exotic beautiful world of Dolce & Gabbana.

    Look at this:


    It’s hot, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the air smells like the sea. Your family is around you and and your biggest issue is whether to have pizza or pasta for lunch and what outfit to wear to dinner. and best of all, you are well dressed. Total win in my book. I’m learning Italian, packing my bags and moving to Sicily.  And I am taking along most of the Fall 2013 collection with me.. here are some of my favourites

    For evening:

    The beading is extraordinary on these, I wish I had seen them up closer, and the trend of carrying your bag on the hip continues. Flat shoes for evening on the left. Heaven!

     

     The lace on these is a recurring theme at Dolce, with or without the showing undergarments, it’s innocent and sexy at the same time. The religious earrings and necklaces are amazing.

    More lace for day below along with grey tweed in every permutation.


    What is striking about the collection is how very wearable it all is while still providing drama. You could wear the day outfits to an office, to lunches to dinners, and likewise the evening wear could work in some day situations as well as in any bar club or restaurant in London. Bliss, a bit of drama and sun here in London.

  • LFW AW 2013

    better late than never.. here is the round up of LFW, looks that I love

    From L’Wren Scott, beautiful gold embellished outfits (Nicole Kidman already wore the first dress in public)

     This dress is so hot. I love the glamourous almost Studio 54 vibe to it..

    From the powerhouse that is Burberry – so wearable – I see a lot that I would wear in everyday life and a lot that Zara will copy and fingers crossed do it well:

    I love the fringe and eyelet detail on the coat that extends to the bags.
