Jeepers Creepers, where d'ya get those peepers

A few seasons ago Sonia Rykiel brought out these amazing Creepers. In her Sprin Summer 11 collection she updated them to these beauties below. Along with the Prada espadrilles they are my favorite shoes this Summer and now everywhere I look I see platform flats.


As much as my inner goth loves the first pair, I wanted something a little more understated - cue these Monki stunners. I've been living in them all summer, hence the dust.

Alfred approves too. Though, as you can see, he prefers hats.

kristin vestgard

I came across Kristin Vestgard's paintings on a blog I cannot remember the name of, but her name stuck with me and even more so her beautiful paintings. I'm not sure if Norwegian born Kristin has been snapped up by a fashion brand yet, but to me the ethereal and feminine qualities of her work scream Erdem or Marc Jacobs. Nothing would be more beautiful than a lookbook littered with Kristin's images, or better still - an animation!

The Topshop Unique AW10 show?

These voluminous beauties are very Jill Sander.

How To: Christopher Kane

I really fell in love with Christopher Kane's Spring 2011 collection. Never did I imagine I would really wear anything which combined neon and lace though. However, I recently bought this sleeveless lace dress from American Apparel and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I'd like one in yellow too and one in pink if they made it. And it's only £46.00!

les heal me

With 'Christmas in July' season at work I've been talking so much about winter time that I've actually managed to conjure up a flu that December would be proud of. So instead of being outside and enjoying the summer I'm pretending to enjoy it whilst lusting over the Les Heal SS10 collection. If we were off on holiday again (Lucinda, shall we?) there would literally be no need to pack anything else. The billowing blue dress is perfect for a hot summer night and teamed with this Clare Vivier yellow clutch from Bodie and Fou I would be a summer holiday personified. Better not go anywhere too breezy though, one strong wind and I'm pretty sure I'd be air born!

 

Post Sample

Cass and I got some dream deals at the Mother of Pearl sample sale on Saturday. Unfortunately, the dream couldn't quite afford this stunning playsuit from their A/W 2010 collection. If anyone feels like buying this for me I will be eternally grateful.

Celine Resort 2012

Phoebe Philo is taking the minimalists on an adventure. Having hooked us on menswear trousers and shirts, she seems to have a sense of where we want to go next, and this is an altogether more adventurous place. Whilst still paying homage to the classic Celine look, Philo has introduced latex, logo t-shirts and XL floral print to a collection of clean and structured lines. For those who are not ready for the change, there's the oversized mac or the white sheer shirts which play more closer to home. I for one am hugely excited by the change of winds at Celine, and would follow Philo anywhere!
