Not enjoying – the nauseatingly commercial – Christmas run-up but do like this short film by Margot Bowman on the Nowness site: Get transported 50 years into the future, where Christmas decor in 2062 seeks to enliven a society devoid of today’s comforts. The ‘Beau-tee’ uses positive energy to infuse our soon-to-be artificial world with […]

Fun Fashion: Warhol, Casteljabac

Love this image from a Jean Charles de Casteljabac collection showcasing art with fashion – fun website too: JC de Casteljabac It’s nice to relax in the nostalgia and fun of the personal exuberance embodied in this look … a refreshing contrast to the rising tide of Christmas hard sell that is breaking over us […]

Friday Treat: Life Lessons

I’m feeling all cerebral today – something I could do with more of in my life, I’m sure. Vampire novels: no! Great Thinkers: oh, yes, bring it … If you’d like to tickle some grey matter – yours or, perhaps, as a ‘gift’ to another – you might do worse than peruse the book selections […]

McQueen/Hirst Scarf Collaboration

For info, the joint collaboration is described thus: In celebration […]

Rockin’ Red Style

Saw these gorgeous images of Alyona Subbotine styled by Damian Foxe in How To Spend It, November 2013, a couple of weeks ago. Just love everything about the visuals … even if I’m not always into the product. Have been flattened by my first cold of the season so am a bit later than I wanted […]

Meadham Kirchoff at Topshop

I know, i know. I’m all about the black but, gods, isn’t it impossible not to love these too-adorable Meadham Kirchoff boots which are part of their second collaboration with Topshop – launching on November 21st? I won’t be buying them myself – they’re just not wheelchair friendly … nor black(!) – but please, do […]
