HEAVY ROTATION


Barely off my limbs these days: Topshop shirt & H&M stole, Zara Blazer, Next Roadkill jumper (size 20 for ultra-sloppiness!) and one of my most treasured possessions: Mink Coat from my Grandmother (they were killed before I was born, okay?!)

GUCCI STREAMING


Did anyone else catch the live Gucci show streaming from Milan on Where Did You Get That? It was actually exciting watching it live, and while the camera could have been zoomed in a smidge more, from what I could see I LOVE the collection. So grown up with tailored pencil suits and exaggerated fur pelts, no doubt there will be countless references to Mad Men - but not from me!

PRETTY AS A PICTURE

MY ROCK


You'll never disappoint me with an awkward silhouette, will you Alexa? I can trust in you.

OLIVIA PALERMO IN BAD OUTFIT SHOCKER

I just don't care for this pelt / chiffon / sleeves-from-nowhere combination one bit. I'm sure all these elements are quite lovely pieces, but together they create an awkward silhouette. Credit where credit is due - the girl is certainly breaking away from the preppy-chique that made her an inspiration (and where better to do that than London Fashion week) but it definitely worked better in outfit No.2! It just goes to show girls, a belt is always invaluable for definition!

ON THE LEAN



Leaning must be really 'in' right now, because I keep getting the indescribable urge to sew elbow patches onto every sleeved item in my wardrobe! It must be an international inclination because my friend
Anne-Marie, halfway across the world in Albuquerque, just purchased
this little be-patched charmer in a vintage store.

COLLECT

I thought this photo of Jane Keltner de Valle's Thakoon collection was charming enough for a post all of its own.

CANVAS


This dress from Elin Klings collaboration with H&M makes me feel a bit funny inside. Funny-Good because of its colours, length, asymmetry and drama. Funny-Bad because it was only available in Swedish H&M stores and is now only to be had on ebay for $300. The whole collection was pretty inspired - another favourite of mine is the necklace - check it out here.

SCARLET PINS




I believe H&M have an affordable pair of these, but I have yet to find them in-store, despite regular investigations. Images Jak & Jil, My Daily Style x 3
