Having just thought of Giles yesterday, on scarves, I later saw news about his exclusive range for Matches. Weird how that happens, isn’t it? Think of a name, mention it, see more on it … must be some sort of subliminal memory awareness jog … Although I like Matches in general – a very nice online […]
MoreBrowsing 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 […]
MoreGreat 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 […]

She attended the prestigious Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, where she completed a B.A in Design with a strong focus in art, aesthetics and design. Soon after, she started her journey around […]
MoreAnother favourite UK site for interesting and unusual stock and style is Walkers of Pottergate. They’ve been in business a long time, supplying all shapes and sizes with creative product from some of the best European, and other, designers including my personal favourites Annette Gortz (pictured above), Rundholz and Barbara Speer. This year, they’ve […]

MoreIdly scanning the internet for plus-size sites – as I am wont to do in the spare minutes I spend waiting for people to arrive at my home – I came across Habibe London. Yes. This is my kind of design aesthetic with fabulous fabrics and so easy to wear. If you click into the e-store […]
