It’s so nice to be able to blog again! Sorry for the my absence! I had spilt tea on my laptop computer once too many and it had to go have it’s keyboard and trackpad changed and it took longer than expected! I obviously told myself that I would never drink anything while using my [...]

Fashion Paris Week (spring 2013) has come to a close and I must say that I’m quite surprised! My two favourite shows are from houses that usually I couldn’t really care less for – Valentino and Alexis Mabille! Crazy! First off, It has to be said there were some (other) great shows but they were [...]

For Christmas, I was lucky enough to be given a copy of “Prada & Schiaparelli : Impossible Conversations”, the catalogue/book of the exhibition that was held from May until August 2012 at the MET in New York. I obviously didn’t get to go to the exhibition (sniff sniff…), so it’s hard to say if it [...]

All the fashion weeks ended recently (for Spring 2013) and there was some lovely show – Jason Wu, Mary Katrantzou, Alexander McQueen…and some I found pretty awful (Jean-Paul Gaultier was a true joke). One of my favorite shows was Gareth Pugh‘s, it was very sharp and powerful. I usually look at the shows on Style.Com [...]

When I came back from Lisbon I spent a few days in Paris. As well as going to the famous Louvre museum for the first time (to be honest I prefer the MET in New York), I also went to the “Cité de la Mode et du Design” to see the two exhibitions being held [...]

Oh, how I hate putting “big” photos on this blog, hate have to scroll down loads to get to the text on a blog…my layout drives me mad. But it’s nice having big photos…I mean, how else can you actually see anything? Well, moving on, I got back from Lisbon about a week ago. I [...]

I was thinking about writing a Royal Ascot blog post, but it has to be said after looking at loads of photos from these horse races this past week, nothing really excited me. Sure, there were some nice pretty hats, a couple of fun ones and quite a few boring ones. Nothing I felt needed [...]

A couple of days ago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York held it’s annual Costume Institute Gala. I think one of the most talked about outfits worn to the event has to be the lace “frock” worn by designer Marc Jacobs. I was quite surprised to read some rather strong negative reactions on [...]

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I was off to Paris last weekend and got to go to the Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs exhibition at the ‘Musée des Arts Décoratifs’ in Paris! It was a great exhibition, not a retrospective, more of showing us how Louis Vuitton (who started the packaging brand in [...]

As you know, I do tend to follow the fashion weeks quite a bit (especially the Paris one) and since I’m on twitter I obviously quite a fair amount of fashion tweets going through my timeline as the shows kick in from various journalists/websites. I was all excited this lunchtime when I got to have [...]
