On the subject of weddings....



From what I've heard speaking to friends, this dress is a bit hit or miss. There's something I really like about this design; it's elegant (makes the most of her figure), sexy and a little quirky. Definitely a design I'll be bearing in mind... (not that I'm getting ahead of myself or anything...)

What a pair of wedding shoes...



Apparently Manolo had to redesign the shoes for Kate Moss FIVE times to get them fit to her specification. What will I have to do to get him to design me a pair of bespoke wedding shoes? Hmmm

Hair Style Icon



Rachel Bilson has long been gracing the fashion pages of magazines but in this photograph my attention is very much on her hair! Got to be one of the best examples of dip-dye.

Fringe Festivities



I am a total sucker for a heavy fringe. I think it is the ultimate winter hair style. Having been defeated by its high maintenance on several occasions over the years and having to go through the tedious (not to mention unattractive) growing out period. Therefore I think this statement fringe-flick is the ideal answer to my fringe/winter hair style. Although I imagine it too would require a significant amount of hair spray!

Hat Hair




I love the way this style looks like a great statement hat, epitomising the notion that our hair is the accessory we wear every day.

New Handbag


I mentioned before about the handbag I'd spotted in the window of Dune on Bridlesmith Gate in Nottingham. Well now I have moved down South again, I happened to chance upon the Dune summer sale (I say "chance" but really my inner-navigation directed me to the shoe haven in Covent Garden).

I homed in on the bag I had previously blogged about but I'm sure there is a design function or, at least, the ergonomics of the front two pockets was not properly executed. The magnetic clasps do not easily enable the owner to make a good connection and it is incredibly fiddly.

However, much to my surprise I chanced upon another bag. Completely different however.
Grey instead of tan.
Small instead of large.
£27 instead of £36 (in the sale).

SOLD

I'm sat Charlotte Street in London...

I'm sat drinking a glass of wine, enjoying the mild weather with a Pinot Grigio alfresco on Charlotte Street in London and who do I see but Jamiroquai walking down the street looking very Joe Bloggs. THE man who made the trilby hat fashionable in the 90s!
I'm sure he could still pull it off and was slightly disappointed not to see him rocking it down the street!
