OSCAR FASHION THROUGH THE YEARS

I thought this little series of illustrations by London design agency 'Mediarun Digital'

featuring all the dresses ever won by winners of the Best Actress Award at the Oscars

was so cute! So I just thought I'd share it with you. 

COATS FLOAT MY BOAT

Do you like my title? (Forever trying to be cool).

Now I know what you're thinking, 'why on earth is she doing a post

about coats when it is very nearly Spring?' and yes, I agree with you,  but

the thing is, I'm English. And this is important for three things:

1) Burberry and Barbour et al all come from here. Loving coats and everything

is practically in our blood.

2) Our signature style normally involves some fancy, smart tailored coat

of sorts (think Sherlock)

3) The majority of the year it is either rainy, windy , cold or grey, for instance today it

began nice and sunny and warm and within the space of four hours it has turned cloudy,

so from about September to April WE NEED A COAT.

And lastly, I am a great believer in the magic of a good coat.

It's incredible how the addition of a tailored, good fitting, neutral coloured,

nicely cut coat can completely transform an outfit.

I can wear sports gear (not that I own any), put a said coat on top

and voila, I somehow look ten times more fashionable and stylish than

I did a minute ago.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITES.... 

  

   

   

   

    

  

  

  

DOLCE AND GABBANA // AUTUMN WINTER 2014 COLLECTION

It may only be February but one of my favourite designer labels Dolce and Gabbana 

have been gracing the Milan catwalk with their absolutely gorgeous new Autumn/ Winter 2014 collection 

inspired by beautiful fairytale imagery. Keys, flowers, lace, fur, embellishment,

animals, flowing fabrics... Take a look!

  

   

 

  

  

  

Wow.

DOLCE & GABBANA I LOVE YOU

I just adore Dolce & Gabbana.

Can you tell?

It's the patterns, the colours, the diamonds (oh the diamonds...)

the chic European essence and allure, the culture, the beauty...
