AW10 trend: yellow as seen on Burberry, Margaret Howell and Marc Jacobs

If you’re reading this I’ll be off on my way to Paris to see the Giles show, excited? You bet! I’ve just taken a herbal sleeping tablet and my eyes are closing already so this post is going to be short at best. I’m listening to Osita Osadebe to perk up the depressing drudgery that [...]

London Fashion Week: Backstage at Bora Aksu

So I didn’t just see Topshop Unique at London Fashion Week, my time there was cut short by getting the LFW cold but I was also presenting vids for Lavazza, who have been sponsors of LFW for a few years now. This is the first one backstage at Bora Aksu, enjoy!

Malick Sidibe and a trip to Mali & Burkina Faso

You might have already seen Malick Sidibe’s photographs in the Guardian (thanks for the link Beatriz!), and if you haven’t then why aren’t you reading Rachael’s blog?! I’ve put a few up here because it reminded me I haven’t shared of my own Mali pictures. Last year I accompanied a couple of seasoned Africanophiles to [...]

Recipe for hot & sour soup: the cure for the LFW cold, plus summer rolls!

Like I mentioned yesterday, I had a stab at making hot and sour soup. Moonface had been going on about Viet Hoa on Kingsland Road and their hot and sour soup for about a year, and it wasn’t until I had to to go to a ’90s Summer of Reggae party (don’t ask, or do, [...]

Margaret Howell LFW AW10

It looks like it’s going to a cosy AW next season, Margaret Howell continued the outdoorsy themes seen at other shows inc Unique, filtered through the Howell lens. Trenchcoats, cuffed cords and belted sweaters totally appeal to my not-so-secret French preppy side and I loo-oove MG anyways.This catwalk show has pretty much just triggered a [...]

Topshop Unique LFW show AW 10

What do you get if you mix utility clothing, Horse & Hound magazine and add a generous splash of Where The Wild Things are?

Topshop’s latest Unique collection puts me in the mood for autumn before the show had even begun, with it’s leaf-strewn catwalk. As the models came out it was more autunmy goodness [...]

From The Archives: Ann Sofie Back Interview

Ahead of LFW, I thought I would dig out an interview I did with Ann Sofie Back a few years ago. I’m looking forward to her fashion week show, it’s good to see she’s returning to catwalk shows after an absence, I’ve missed her accessible, witty style.

You definitely have a light-hearted approach to fashion, how [...]

Daks skirt suede tabs

It’s my birthday today, so I’ve decided to only do blog posts from bed, drinking Jing Earl Grey and scoffing sea salted caramel chocolates. Mmhmm! As you may know I’m a seasoned charity shopper, but I picked this skirt on one of my many lunchtime trips to Bang Bang. It’s from Daks and the quality [...]

Food & fashion

Fashion and food aren’t the friendliest of bedfellows. I always used to ditch the 2p sized canapes at London Fashion Week for a trip to the Oriental Canteen on Exhibition Rd. Thankfully there are a few people who feel the same way, I thought I’d spread the love by talking about my favourite fashion bloggers [...]
