On Wednesday Bicester Village hosted the British Designers Collective, with a guest appearance by Alexa Chung which caused much kerfuffles and excitement. Although her visit was brief Alexa flew the flag for Brit style in a Bella Freud jumper and Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.
The pop-up store is open until mid-May and is packed with bargain [...]
Kicking off my showroom coverage with Brit designer Rupert Sanderson is a little contrary, but that’s how we works round here. Their warm showroom was a lovely sanctuary from the miserable rain, you know how us Rosbifs like to talk about the weather? Well the Rupert Sanderson showroom was possibly the only showroom I got [...]
I’ve still got tons of blog posts coming from Paris Fashion Week –and London for that matter… Here’s a mini update of outfits and Paris bits and pieces. Can’t wait to go back!
There’s something I really love about being in drab alienating spaces like the metro. Not quite sure why but ever since I was [...]
Monki launched their Carnaby street store this week by holding a fun party with drinks, mini burgers and an amazing dj set with 90s classics. I really need their lamé light fixtures in my life.
More light fixtures, how brilliant is this buoys chandelier? I spotted it in John Lewis at the weekend, love the [...]
Veronique Leroy’s PFW show was pretty much the most French show of my week. The Lycée Henri IV in the Latin Quarter was the venue, a school with book-lined wooden shelves and high, corniced ceiling.
Leroy’s collection drew from the 60s and there was definitely a kittenish, BB thing going on with the hair and the [...]
A brief Fashion Week hiatus the Studio Visits are back! This time I went to Elizabeth Lau‘s West London studio to have a look round and chat to her about her cult label.
There’s a real sense of fun in your clothes, where does that come from?
A lot of my buyers do describe my clothes as [...]
I can’t believe I’m nearly at the end of my week in Paris, I’m really enjoying letting my inner French person out for an airing and slang update. These images are pretty much my daily routine, tea and lots of it while I check my tickets for the day (Issey Miyake and Hexa by Kuho [...]

Street style at London Fashion Week confirmed the statement trouser as the style choice for the workhorse crew. The fact that you’re wearing tailored trousers screams ‘I’m here for srs bizness!’ but choosing a pair with a wacked out print confirms your fashion credentials. Teamed with a jumper [...]
Marni’s collaboration with H&M is less than a fortnight away and I’m buzzing with excitement. Some fashion *things* you get excited because it’s big news but this is more exciting along the lines of ‘what nice things am I gonna get my hands on’. Marni is the fashion industry’s fashion designer, they’ve always been slightly [...]
Catwalk shows are thrilling and sometimes a little tear-inducing (who me?) but it’s always nice to get up close to the collections and check out the seams and the fabrics. Tactile vs catwalk, its not possible to pick but for designers like Michael van der Ham and Lucas Nascimento seeing the clothes and having a [...]
