Lust List: Vincent Vega Boots
These Vincent Vega Boots by Winston Wolfe are going right onto my lust list. I might need to adapt them a bit to make them more … wheelchair friendly but, OMG, aren’t they too fabulous? Lots of other lovely things too … like these: Do swing by the site and let me know what you […]
MoreFashion Illustration: Raf Simons, Dior
Love it when designers are into fashion illustration and even more so when they reference it in their work, as seen from Raf Simons for Dior in the F/W 2013/14 Collection. Nice comment and slideshow on Blouin Art Info – Raf Simons Reclaims Christian Dior’s Artistic Past – about this a few days ago. Do […]
MoreStyle Sight: Wrapping It Up
So much fun to be had with these head wrapping scarves, spotted on the Style Sight blog, from the Resort ’14 Collections. Am thinking to trial a version of the Cynthia Rowley … What do you think?
MoreSimone Rocha Coat
Beautiful Simone Rocha Coat seen in the FT’s How To Spend It App this weekend. Silk-mix and not cheap, £896, but a design that would suit lots of shapes and plus-sizes. So pretty.
MoreMaiko Dawson Shoes

You’re fed up with me whining on about my swollen feet and the ghastly granny style orthopaedic comfort […]
MoreDisappointing Days …

When I set up the +Black blog, I was hoping, and working in the background, to develop, and retail, products that I thought ‘my demographic’ of women […]
MoreDelfina Delettrez Bling
Feeling as if I may be late to this party, I’m looking at Delfina Delattrez bling. I love her rings … and I am so not a ring person … er, not a jewellery person at all really. Am I the only person whose burglar, having rifled through my jewellery drawers, left the whole lot […]
MoreWeekend Inspiration: Animated Fashion Illustration
If you know me at all, you know I love fashion illustration. I was thrilled to see this short video on Crane TV on Jo Ratcliffe who is creating animated fashion illustration. Totally love it. Inspirational. What do you think?
MoreSeasonal Dissonance: Tennis, Hats, Winter?
Engrossed by the tennis today, I am flicking, in a somewhat desultory manner, through emails between breaks and, despite the very warm weather here, my eye is drawn to Fall/Winter RTW Collections and, in particular, woolly hats by Band of Outsiders and fringed, upside down bucket, hats by Alexander Wang for Balenciaga. Eek, seasonal dissonance […]
