Having a Phoebe Philo heavenly foot moment …
Have all my prayers been answered? Soft furry soles, it’s a miracle … Comfortable looking footwear that could be adapted for those of us with problem feet: these are just so funny that I might actually wear them. How long has it been since I’ve had nail varnish on my toes … or felt the […]
MoreHula hoop wheels by Chanel … ?
Well, hell, I feel I’m missing a trick here … isn’t this the perfect design for a wheelchair ‘wheel’ bag? Who’d a thunk it – from Chanel! Though I’ve no doubt wheelchair friendly design was not actually on Mr Lagerfeld’s tick list when he came up with the idea … wheelchairs are so NOT Chanel, […]
MoreSpring/Summer 2013: Uma Wang
Needing some light relief, I cheered myself up by looking at Uma Wang’s Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.

I love these pieces; they make me think of sun, warmth […]

I feel similarly this year about Marc Jacobs Hats. D will persist in telling me that they are too expensive, […]
MoreFantastical style from Meadham and Kirchhoff for Spring 2013
Browsing Colette Online, I saw this truly fantastic scarf by Meadham Kirchhoff. Ridiculous price, about £1,400, but I love it to distraction. Totally unaware of Meadham Kirchhoff up to this point, I clicked across to their site and found their Spring 2013 video running and how zanily wonderful it is. Haven’t felt so uplifted since the […]
MoreOska in London – great for plus sizes
Great news for those who know the German brand, OSKA – they’re opening a London branch at 27 New Cavendish Street, W1G 9TX, t: 020 7224 0676. They have also set up a new and improved online shop Oska-London. Comparable to the US brand, Eileen Fisher in price point – so not cheap but not […]
