HAPPY 54TH BIRHDAY DR MARTENS 1460

Happy 54th Birthday Dr Martens 1460's. 

These boots are so iconic and they are an ode to self expression, individuality,

being whoever it is you want to be, defying authority and limitations and walking

with pride, confidence and self belief. These shoes become part of you, they're an

extension of who you are, they're just a pair of shoes, boots and yet they're so much more.

GEEK GLASSES APPRECIATION

What better way to begin a Saturday than a geek glasses appreciation post.

Me think they look rather swanky, if I do say so myself...

   

   

  

  

Have you ever seen a better end to a post than this, seriously?

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.
