A (Rare) Pom Pom Moment

Ok, I think I’ve gone mad. Have just seen these Jimmy Choo Pom Pom Bags and think they’re too cute … Buy me something pink and call me a girl … Or just put me out of my misery. Cute or not cute?

Ooh, just read that there will be Kara Walker exhibition on at The Camden Arts Centre from 11 October 2013 to 5 January 2014. I will definitely be going to that as have loved her work since seeing it in a huge exhibition at The Whitney in New York almost two decades ago. If you […]

Inspirational Design: Uma Wang

We all have a favourite look, don’t we? With all the spring fashion shows over, for Spring/Summer 2014, my personal pick for star designer is Uma Wang. Love, love, love is oozing from me for her. I would buy and wear nothing else but this whole collection for the entire summer and beyond if I […]

More Daniela Gregis

With seasonal fashion in the news, I figure it’s an ideal time to take a more in-depth look at Daniela Gregis whose collection I’ve made note of previously. As you know, I’m always looking for style that might work for those of us who are less than Paris-thin, way past puberty, maybe somewhat unconventionally shaped, […]

Enduring Style …

In a reflective mood today, thinking about style and beauty and how extraordinarily difficult it is to inject them into a life-less-able … though maybe it’s life that is the problem rather than the less-able. Who knows? Seems like just the moment to flash up one of Hannah Ensor’s latest illustrations for +Black – based […]

Gareth Pugh S/S ’14

Okay, I was disappointed. Maybe I just loved the Fall ’13 Collection too much. Maybe my eye just refuses to acknowledge any colour other than black or grey or deep blue. Maybe I am an Autumn/Winter personality type. But I just didn’t get the thrills I’d hoped for from the Gareth Pugh S/S ’14 Collection […]

Apu Jan Hat S/S 2014

If you watch the weird for long enough, eventually you see something that makes you think, ‘ooh, I would wear that …” Love this Apu Jan hat … and rather like the shoes too though these are somewhat less suitable for the wheelchair. What’s the most wearable item you’ve seen from the whirl of Spring/Summer […]

Zoe Jordan Collections

Keeping an eye on the Spring Summer 2014 Fashion Week Collections – I am no fashionista because the weird surrealness of looking at spring/summer clothes whilst buying and wearing autumn/winter isn’t something that has ever felt normal and as for the new trend of buying these from the catwalk so to speak … no, I […]

Hats Obsession …

I know, I know. I am totally obsessed with hats and I really don’t wear them that much at all. Less than I should given my skin cancer issues. So why is a hat one of the first things my eye is inevitably drawn to? There must be some subliminal visual/cortex connection going on. Am […]
