Pink DSquared2 Hat
Uh-oh, I have a seriously itchy keyboard finger currently hovering on the ‘Buy Now’ button for this fabulous fuchsia straw hat by Dsquared2 at Farfetch.

Having read about illustrator Helen Bullock, see illustration above, in both AnOther magazine – Drama At Prada AW14 – and 1883 magazine – Interview Helen Bullock, I clicked across to her own website for more info. From there, I went on to SHOWstudio and, oh yes, this I like: SHOWstudio is an award-winning fashion website, founded […]
